Shelves: books-i-own

This is from an author that never disappoints and this is a fabulous collection of the first three stories in her Bad Things series. You will be in your happy reading place as you fall into the world where two powerful Lords make deals but sometimes the outcome is not what you might expect.
The Devil in Disguise introduces the somewhat jaded Luke who is the big bad that haunts the night. A woman of singular talent comes into his life and Luke finds himself poleaxed by Minas audacity. Not everythi ...more

Wooooooooooooww.....just wow. So many amazing paranormal stars for this one for sure. Cynthia Eden really outdid herself this time. OMG, if you are a paranormal fan, then you gotta read this book/series. So damn good. It has everything, absolutely everything in it. I laughed, I cried, my heart broke, I was shocked, I was drawn into every single page....seriously, so damn good. And anything you think you know...you don’t. It was so fast paced right from the start until the end. And one twist after another, I couldn’t put the book down, seriously book crack for sure. Couldn’t get enough.

Mina’s on the run and knows exactly where she needs to go. Luke is the Lord of the Dark, and he is quite taken with Mina. There are people out to destroy and use the paranormals, and they work to try to prevent that. Such a great storyline.

This was a safe read, with a soulmate couple if I ever read one. The kind of love that stands through anything that comes their way. Not gonna lie, I am a big Cynthia Eden fan, but this book...kinda awed me, seriously I just couldn’t get enough. So...sorry to cut this short, but gotta read the next book...like nowish. So should you...you’re welcome.

Psst...before I forget, this book, book 1, is free on most platforms right now....I know, right...get excited.

On the Prowl
Julian, Julian, Julian.....he’s Luke’s top assassin, also a panther shifter...did I mention that, so he’s kinda a badass. He goes after the rogue paranormals that are crossing the line in their world, and our world. We met the vampire Rose, that holds his heart, in book 1. This book just picks up from that book. We get more of their story, including how they met and separated. Julian has been assigned as her protector, because there are people after her and other paranormals. She also may have gained some attention from a batshit crazy person called the “Collector” (que the evil music).

Right from the prologue this book is a fast paced wild ride, with a ton of suspense. So much happens in this book, you can’t miss a single line, so good. Luke is still funny af. Oh, and you know how his twin is supposed to be the light twin aka the good twin...yeah, I’m not really convinced of all that ridiculousness. Luke is definitely my favorite, by far. We get more of our favorites from book 1 and gained some additional favorites. Oh, and kudos for the use of wanker...freaking loved that. These two were so hot, steamy vampire and shifter kind of hot. Whew, burning up my kindle. This was a safe read, they were separated, but no mention of others in that time. Fantastic book crack series. Seriously, I just can’t get enough. Just binge reading away. More please, more please.

Undead or Alive
The Reaper’s in the house *fist bump*. This is Cass, he’s the reaper and the last of his kind. To say that he’s socially awkward may be an understatement, but he’s also adorably awkward. He just wants a mate that he can touch with his hands...awwwweeeeee. Since he is death, and holds all the power of the reapers, anything he touches dies...oh and did I mention he couldn’t die, yeah, there’s that fun fact too. So really a badass, wait, did I also mention his tattoo of a scythe is magical and the scythe he uses....yup....total freaking badass. I think our twins may even be a bit weary of him. And I may have a teeny, tiny crush on him too ...more

Nice reading!

You will not want to stop reading till you reach the end of the third book, and even then you'll want more.
The main characters of book one: Luke Thorne and Mina James are the main flag of this first book. They have some depth and through Luke, his friends and bodyguards the story flows into the other books. Luke is the Devil, the bad and dark one, but most of the time during the story, you'll keep thinking of Leo, the good and from the light one, isn't the bad guy.

Bad Things Volume One contains the first three novels in the Bad Things series by Cynthia Eden.

Devil in Disguise introduces us to the Bad Things world, and the leader of them, Luke Thorne, often thought of as the "Devil." He rescues Mina James from several situations, ultimately leading to the discovery of (1) what type of supernatural Mina is and (2) that someone is experimenting on supernatural creatures. This second discovery reoccurs periodically in the series, as Luke and his people search ...more

The good and the bad...

I was very impressed with the stories. Such interesting plots and variable characters.
Each story is well-written and planned. The characters are totally well conceived and each has been written to make them believable.
Oh, I plan to follow this author as I know she has more stories to come in this series
Ta Ta for now.

Oh so good

This is the first three books in the Bad Things series. They are great stories. The characters are complex and multi dimensional. The storylines are fascinating. Best of all is the world building. It is magical in both a light and dark way. I intend to read the rest of this series, and much more by this author.

Bad was never so good

Three fun interlocking stories of paranormals finding love, the hard way. I enjoyed the twin lords of dark and light, finding the shades of grey between them.
