Reviews

Title: Melancholia
Author: Chloe Jane
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Type: Novella from Love is Strange Anthology
POV: First Person - Female
Rating:


Axelle-Rose frequented a bar to drown her loneliness. An encounter with Silas could either be her cure or her poison.

I don’t get what it is he sees in me—what he’s told me so many times before that he wishes I could see in myself, but I almost feel genuinely loved in this moment and I know I’m wrong.

There’s something about this story that just didn’t sit right. There were enough background stories, but the characters didn’t click together. Considering her past, Axelle made irrational decisions/rationalization with a significant chunk of plot missing from their initial meet to next progress of the relationship.

This one started with a huge potential and the darkness level that appealed to me. Unfortunately, it’s too short for the characters to be properly developed that it ended up a little over the top. This story is a prequel to the Jade Riders Series coming in 2019.

Cinder and Smoke by Addison Kline | No rating
I decided not to rate this one because I deemed it incomplete. It was simply a short teaser of the author's upcoming work (which I don’t even know what/when since there was no other information) and it seemed unedited due to glaring technical issues.

I’ve only read the first book Becoming Mrs Ryan by Michelle Brown. The writing felt immature and the storytelling wasn’t cohesive. The ending made no sense and it kept alluding to a backstory that was never properly explained. I also don’t believe a pair of contacts would stop a guy from recognising his ex.

Burnt Embers

Ember has a crush on her best friends brother Ash.. It only takes a look from him and she goes weak at the knees. He’s the one.
Unfortunately he’s older than her and off to college. Ember realises he’s outta reach and she must move on.

Ash can’t think of anyone other than Ember. He must do all he can to keep Ember for himself.

I absolutely loved each word of this. Am hoping the author turns this into a much longer book... it was that good!

Can’t wait to read more from this anthology.

*Review for Blood Brothers by Murphy Wallace*

Well Hot Damn!!! If this love story is wrong I don't want to be right. I love a good taboo read, but this one is unlike any other I've read, but in a very good and HAF way. If thus story is any indication of the type of stories one is to expect then I definitely need to read this entire anthology. This is the first story I've read by Murphy and I am adding her to my automatic 1-click authors list. There's nothing like brotherly love. 💘

[Book Boyfriend Whoarder Mari · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t know what I just stayed up reading but I want more. Like now. 5 stars of give me more all the fricken words!

•Becoming Mrs Ryan by Michelle Brown
5 Stars- I was consumed with this sordid tale. You think you know what’s right and wrong, but at the end you’re just left thinking and asking yourself wtf just happened?? I feel I’m missing more words Miss Brown.... I’ll be stalking.
•Absolution by Michelle Pace
4 Stars- The writing was incredible, I was transported back to a different time and era. I didn’t connect to the characters though. It was missing a little fire as well. Great storyline though.
•Blood Brothers by Murphy Wallace
5 Stars- This story, was everything. Talk about taboo. Jesus, I might need Jesus after that one. Lol. The steam factor was out of this world. Yet I never lost the depth of the struggles the characters dealt with. Amazing story. Brava Wallace.
•Melancholia by Chloe Jane
4.5 Stars- In the beginning it was hard to connect to the heroine. I wasn’t sure why she wanted to drown herself to forget. Towards the end we find out. It’s tragic yet uplifting. She took charge of her wants and needs to be able to move on. Beautiful story.
•Encore by Elizabeth Cash
5 Stars- Talk about forbidden! This story had me hooked from the beginning. The steam factor raised the temperature. That ending though! What was that!!
•Cinder and Smoke by Addison Kline
4 Stars- The storyline is amazing, I hope Miss Kline does a resolution. I was left with a lot of questions in such a short read. Will be on the lookout for more.
•Keeping Secrets by Avery Reigns
4 Stars- I couldn’t connect to the main character, she was a bit cold and unfazed. The steamy scene was the only scene I felt a bit more emotion. It was a great scene though.
•The Thief and the Liar by Yolanda Olson
5 Stars of WTF- I think this is what Yolanda Olson does to me. Nothing is as it seems here!! A complete mental workout. Only miss Olson can make the deranged and unhinged seem relatable.
•Burnt Embers by Ally Vance
5 Stars- This story was a couple tropes roped into a nice taboo knot! We are able feel each character and see where they are coming from. I will be stalking to get the continuation!
•Indiscriminate by Emery Leeann
5 Stars- This one was disturbing but you gobble it up! I know I did! The flow and character development was amazing. That ending, did not see that coming lol!
•Caim by Anna Edwards
5 Stars- This story gahhh it’s what MC stories need to be. Just this little snippet into this new MC world by Anna Edwards has me salivating for more!!

All in all it’s a great read that you definitely should have your partner or batteries on standby!

[Tianna✸loves books✸]

Story 1] “BECOMING MRS. RYAN by MICHELLE BROWN” ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This started off with ow drama, then I thought it is a psychological thriller but then it started going towards something else...Lesbians

Natalia is a psycho girl who loves Luke. They broke up when he left her in high school. She is not over him and is crazily obsessed with him. Now he has a girlfriend named Isabel. Natalia takes admission in Luke and Isabel’s college and even gets room with her.
She wants Luke back. But I didn’t knew what she was doing by teasing Isabel. Getting naked in front of her or kissing her or making out with her. And on other side she was seducing and blackmailing Luke.

This is one crazy mindfuckery. The ending keeps us hanging. It’s the wtf did I just read moment.

The writing is rushed. Everything is happening too quickly.

Story 2] ABSOLUTION by MICHELLE PACE

Skipping this story. For now.

Story 3] “BLOOD BROTHERS by MURPHY WALLACE”

Again skipping this one as it is MM romance.

Story 4] MELANCHOLIA by CHLOE JANE ⭐️

This is so confusing. Axelle-Rose (Yes, the h’s name) is sad and depressed. She visits a bar every day to drink.

There she meets a guy named Silas who gives her a wonder pill to feel joy or something like that. After taking the pill she almost dies. After her recovery she goes back to Silas to confront him. The reason he gives her for giving her that pill.

“I’m sorry, okay? I really am. I gave it to you because I was pissed that you blew me off and I hadn’t even tried it on anyone yet. It’s my fuck up and I’ll own up to it if you can forgive me,”

What?
That’s it?

Then he tries to woo her to bed. She is apprehensive. There’s some past story sharing. Then they proceed to have sex. But..

This is crazy shit. The ending....well....I don’t t have any words. Axelle was sexually abused by her brother. And that’s why she is apprehensive of someone getting close to her. So what does the Silas does? He suggests they have sex while his sister, Vanessa film them.
What?
And his sister does films them having sex. And then Axelle realises..
“Silas and Vanessa share a closeness that’s so much different than the one my brother and I ever shared. They love each other and are willing to do anything to help the other one be happy for however long a moment of happiness lasts and neither of them force the other to do anything they don’t want to do.”

What?

Just so for your information there is no love here. Silas was not even interested in listening to her sob story at first. He just wanted to have sex with her.

Story 5] ENCORE by ELIZABETH CASH

Ryan is a bad rebellious kid. He likes getting kicked out of schools after school. When he lands in Grand Valley Prep, he meets his dance teacher (yes he is forced to join a dance class), Emily. He is intrigued by her.
So this is a forbidden teacher student romance. The h is obviously older and married. He talks dirty with her and she is attracted to him but doesn’t show it. Then she eventually gives in and she gives him BJ and then he just leaves. The End.

What?

By now I have got that all the stories in this book ends with ‘wtf’ reactions.

So far none of the stories have intrigued me. So I’m DNFing for now. If my friends like any of the stories then I might read them.

This is clearly not my cuppa.

Becoming Mrs. Ryan by Michelle Brown

This story was an evil, brilliant, WTAF of a read! This bitch is crazy. I absolutely loved this story by one of my newest favorite twisted authors. I want more and I want it now!!!

Burnt Embers by Ally Vance

Holy Sheeeeet!! Ash is my kinda man! I kept looking at how many pages were left as I was reading. I just knew this story would not be long enough! Please Ally, can I have some more Ash?

Blood Brothers by Murphy Wallace

Holy freakin’ hotness!! I need more of Graham and Griff!! Please, please, please say there is more coming!

Melancholia by Chloe Jane
3.5 stars
I liked this story but I felt it was all over the place and missing important plot lines in places. I think this would work really well as a full length novel that could go more in depth with Axelle and Silas and their lives.

Encore by Elizabeth Cash
5 stars
All I can say is that I need more! Crossing my fingers that there is more to this story to be told later, because if that is it... well I refuse to believe that’s all there is for Emily and Ryan.

Cinder and Smoke by Addison Kline
3 stars
I’m not really sure what I just read and I’m curious where the story is heading. I’ll be looking for the rest so I can find out.

Absolution by Michelle Pace
4 stars
I really liked this story, but I didn’t like that it was one long piece. It didn’t necessarily need chapters, but there were places where it got a bit confusing because there was not a way to differentiate what timeline of the story was happening. Other than that it was magnificently creepy and fanatical.

Keeping Secrets by Avery Reigns
3 stars
This story was a bit boring to me. Well written but boring. The only scene worth reading imo was the sex scene.

The Thief and The Liar by Yolanda Olson
4.5 stars
Super creepy. I’m still not sure what was happening and have so many questions, but Ella and Icarus were definitely intriguing characters who deserve a more in-depth story.

Indiscriminate by Emery LeeAnn
5 stars
Creepy psycho gets revenge and forever love, what more do you need in a deliciously dark taboo read!

Caim by Anna Edwards
5 stars
Eeeek! This was so intriguing and OMG! Who are these characters? I need more!

[Anima · Rating 4 out of 5]

Was given an advanced copy of one story, review voluntarily written.

Absolution: It's a different time in Ireland and horses are the mode of transportation. A priest, young and fully vested in his profession, has sunk to his lowest. It's a captivating story, moving from his present actions to the past as he explains the reason for his mess. I actually felt his emotions and wanted love for him, but that was before.

[Linda Cotter · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an amazing anthology! Each story is more messed up than the last. While I have a few favorites, I won't mention them (so I don't taint what everyone else is expecting), but I can tell you that if you want taboo, this is the set for you!

[Bridgett Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

The thief and the liar by Yolanda Olson.
Wow that’s a crazy ride. I was sure I knew what was happening then bam a twist that makes me rethink everything. So good.
It’s just a love story, but not the kind you’re used too.

Becoming Mrs. Ryan
by Michelle Brown
Sweet holy hell. What the hell did I just read? As disturbing as it was I couldn't quit turning the pages as I tried to figure it out. Even after finishing it, I am not sure what I read. What I do know is that it will stick with me as I try and figure it out even days from now.

Absolution
by Michelle Pace
This piece was so artfully written that it wouldn't have surprised me if this had happened in real life and the author was just recounting a piece of history that had been buried in the Catholic church. Disturbing, chilling, and intense.

Blood Brothers
by Murphy Wallace
This story takes MM to a WHOLE new level. It is definitely Taboo. I struggled with the taboo part of it. However, the author did a great job showing how the characters fought their attraction not only as gay men but also because of the other element.

Melancholia
by Chloe Lane
Yet, another story that left me confused more than conflicted. I tried to see where this story was going and kept feeling like something bad was going to happen. The ending was not at all what I was expecting. It actually left me with a little hope.

Encore
by Elizabeth Cash
This story! Sweet lord. Generally, the stories like this one are typically reversed in regards to the gender. I have only read one other story that made it with The heroine being in this sole. I didn't want this story to end. I need a full story of these two. They were FIRE. Seriously, I hope the author reads this and listens to my request. This is the first time reading this author and now I am going to go in search of all her words. HOT

Cinder and Smoke
by Addison Kline
This story was intriguing and really piqued my interest. I kept turning the pages because the story sucked me in. It is a story that will be continued. I will keep an eye out for it.

Keeping Secrets
by Avery Reigns
This isn't the neighborhood that I thought it was going to be. Most definitely not. I had no idea this was the direction the story was going. Interesting, and most definitely taboo and not just because of the age.

The Thief and the Liar
by Yolanda Olson
I KNEW it. Initially, I was thinking the first part of the story was the entire story and I wondered if it was foreshadowing this outcome. I knew that this author would have no qualms with pushing me. I am truly at a loss of words over this twist. I shouldn't be because again, this author is KNOWN for taking things to the extreme, but I am.

Burnt Embers
by Ally Vance
I know I shouldn't like stories like this as much as I do but sweet lord this is dark, delicious, and titillating. I wanted more and am VERY happy it said For Now after the words.. I will be most definitely be on the lookout for this continuation because anti-hero is my FAVORITE and I can tell Ash is going to be a new infatuation for me. Loved that their names were ember and Ash too.

Indiscriminate
By Emery Leehan
This story, while it had elements of taboo was more horror than taboo. It was hard for me to finish. That being said, I still have to give the author credit for being able to write with such details. Now that I type that, it worries me a little too. I am going to tell myself that the author watches a lot of forensics because otherwise, this is one scary mind.

Caim
by Anna Edwards
This novella was the reason that I bought this anthology (besides the obvious reason that I liked where the proceeds are going). Knowing that this story is the prequel to the new Jade Riders series has me giddy. This is MC at its rawest and most extreme. It is written in only the way that this author can write. She pushes the buttons, doesn't mince words and creates a story that is darkness juxtaposed with light. To say that she knocked this one out of the park would be an understatement. I cannot wait.

[Erika P · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had the absolute pleasure of reading Becoming Mrs. Ryan by Michelle Brown, and lemme tell you how I wanted to message this Author and ask her to write me an entire full-length novel featuring this story!! It was an absolute blast to read, I loved it so completely hard, it ticked every dark little box I have and left me giggling and giddy as my little dark heart sang its praises. If this is a preview of the entire anthology, I will definitely be inhaling this one as soon as it releases!!

[Renee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This taboo anthology is an amazing read you won’t want to put down. If you’re looking for something unique and definitely taboo, this is the read to buy. Not only that but the authors have chosen to support an amazing charity. As there are so many phenomenal pieces, it would be hard to go over each one so I picked a few to highlight.

Burnt Embers by Ally Vance
This can be summed up with three words: GIVE ME MORE! Ally Vance delivered a suspenseful and taboo treat that has left me begging for more. Ally excels at delivering fantastic character development even in a short piece and talk about hot. This is a story to sink into and all I can hope is that the author gives me even more.

Becoming Mrs. Ryan by Michelle Brown
Umm what did I just read and why did I love it so much? Nope, not even going to try and think about an answer. I would love more to this piece, there’s a story just begging to be told. It has excellent pacing and it is so deliciously dark.

Blood Brothers by Murphy Wallace
HOT. This is a definitely taboo and so scorchingly hot I’m surprised I made it through without needing a fan. I’ll note I love M/M. It can be hard to really impress me and I’ve read others in this taboo category. Nothing published in this M/M category has come close to this. Please Murphy you need to give me some more M/M.

Great job to all of the authors who really dug in and gave us so many taboo treats while supporting an important cause.

Becoming Mrs. Ryan

5/5 Rating

So... I know this is a short story but damn... The main character was a girl that couldn't be f*cked with. She knew what she wanted and went after it. She played to win. I hope... I'm really hoping there is more. The ending left reeling.

Absolution

Good God Almighty... I've heard of absolution but this type of absolution was on a whole nother level. I do believe there are people who are put your life for a reason. But I'm not sure about Henry and his Eve...

Blood Brothers

4/5 Rating

I love reading a taboo love story. The title gives you a clue on how taboo it is. But there is more to it than that... The environment ,where the characters are placed and the friends they have, drive the story as well as the unavoidable tension between the main characters- the siblings.

The Thief and The Liar

5/5 Rating

I don't know what to say... I was left speechless. With this author, it really wasn't hard. I just knew some crazy sh*t was going to go down. I didn't know how but I knew I wouldn't be the same by the final page.

[Sheena · Rating 5 out of 5]

An addictive 5 star anthology

What a fabulous eclectic collection of dark, shocking, bittersweet and twisted short stories written by a group of wonderfully talented authors and all in a good cause.. it is impossible to review each story but whether innocent, hero, antihero or downright psychopath...within these pages lie a smorgasbord of obsessive, damaged and brutal characters, many of whom you would not wish to meet alone on a dark night...or in a crowd in the daylight for that matter.

Caim by Anna Edwards ... is intense and sad with a young innocent girl who is the victim of a corrupt and evil man, and a hardened, jaded biker who may be the only one who can truly save her..I loved this story full of secrets, lies and horrifying truths.

Burnt Embers by Ally Vance ... this is a story of dark fixation with a girl next door type who catches the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of guy... I loved the suspense and the dual point of view of the two main characters, giving a window into the hopes and dreams of one of the protagonists and the dark and compulsive desires of the other.

So in summary: this is an addictive 5 star anthology where the characters are mostly damaged, obsessive and downright strange, and the love they experience and offer is the same.... I received advanced copies of Caim and Burnt Embers from the authors.

This anthology is different, taboo but AMAZING!!
it's all for an amazing cause to help our ocean friends!!
I was super lucky and won an advance copy of Melancholia by Chloe Jane.
Axelle-rose is a very damage girl. She thinks she doesn't deserve to be happy since she was hurt when she was little. Nightmares of her past keep her awake at night. She goes to a bar to get away from her nightmares. She loves to talk to Vanessa, the bartender. Then one day she sees a guy who keeps staring at her. Axelle doesnt pay much attention to him but Vanessa decides to get them together. But this almost gets Axelle killed. After surviving her near death experience she decides to confront him. Silas turns out to be someone Axelle didn't expect or need...or so she thought....I was left wanting more of this story!! And I hope there will be more!!

💙 BLOOD BROTHERS by Murphy Wallace

RATING:

I was provided a copy by the author and was over the moon with excitement!!






🖤 THE THIEF AND THE LIAR by Yolanda Olson

RATING:

BLURB:
The Thief.
I long for her to look at me with eyes adoring my presence once more, but everything seems lost.
We only speak with bitter tongues and hollow praises—a pale shadow of what our love once was.
I miss us, but I won’t force her to be what we once were if she doesn’t want it as much as I do. I’ll be here to take care of her, comfort her in her time of need, and pray that one day soon, she’ll need me again the way she did not long ago.

The Liar.
He means more to me than I would ever let him know.
I can’t bear to be away from him, but being near him is harder now than it ever was before.
His love is all encompassing and my soul is broken under the weight of his touch.
I miss us, but I won’t play the part of the dutiful partner when I’ve seen him for what he truly is now. Maybe one day we’ll be as we were when we first met, yet I refuse to fight for his affection any longer.

💙 MELANCHOLIA by Chloe Jane

🖤 INDISCRIMINATE by Emery LeeAnn

**Republished in the collection LOVE AND DEAD THINGS: Vol 2** get a copy here mybook.to/LADT2

BLURB:
Lisbet:
I am no longer a prisoner in his twisted world. They had no choice but to release me from my confines at Brunswick, and now I am free from his abuse.I swore vengeance on him and he laughed in my face.
Now my time has come. A workplace accident with another patient has left him blind and on permanent disability.
Now who is in control?



💙 BURNT EMBERS by Ally Vance

RATING:

BLURB:
She’s supposed to be off limits.
Too young and my sister’s best friend, but that doesn’t stop me from craving her,
My sweet little temptation is unaware of my proximity, but soon enough I'll have her right where I want her.
I watch her from afar, awaiting the perfect moment to make her mine. I’m going to devour Ember, even if she doesn’t want me to.
Nothing and no one will keep us apart, not even my sister.

⭐️Edited now that I've finished every story.⭐️

Becoming Mrs Ryan by Michelle Brown.
Crazy girl who stops at nothing to get what she wants. Perfectly paced, thrilling story.

Absolution by Michelle Pace.
Father Henry and Eve’s story was gripping and certainly captured my attention. I so didn't want this story to end.

Blood Brothers by Murphy Wallace.
Wow! So wrong and so taboo and I shocked myself in finding it HAF! Who states who you should love and have a relationship with? Murphy leads you on a gripping tale which sizzles and has you questioning your own morals.

Melancholia by Chloe Jane.
This story threw me in different direction and left me saying WTF?

Encore by Elizabeth Cash.
This story was HOT! A different angle on the usual teacher / student scenario and I lapped it up! I so need to read more of Emily & Ryan!

Cinder & Smoke by Addison Kline.
Has the promises of a good full length story.

Keeping Secrets by Avery Reigns.
A taboo that I'd never read before and certainly didn't work out until it actually happened!

The Thief & The Liar by Yolanda Olson.
A pure genius mind-bending story where I chopped and changed my opinion on what was happening! A true Yolanda classic!

Burnt Embers by Ally Vance.
Damn I want Ash! He exuded dark and dirty, but also a tender side. His obsession with Ember was fascinating and that ending! Oh god, I need more of this story!

Indiscriminate by Emery Leann.
OMG what have I just read! A taboo that certainly had me squirming, but the story held me prisoner and I just couldn’t put it down.

Caim by Anna Edwards.
Rescuer by default, Caim saves Layla from a horrific existence and their connection was strong and clear throughout this story. Again, this is another story where I’m looking forward to reading more about the characters.
