It's a darker read as the aliens eat people and she's worried she's going to get eaten the first half of the book.
The book is really graphic with the sex scenes too.

I will start this one shortly Eternal Demon (Mark of the Vampire, #5) by Laura Wright



I need to revisit my list above and choose something else from it to start.






I liked this book too, and agree with you about the writing style, and no real world building.
However, I picked up one of her new books, and if you like Omegaverse, I thought it was outstanding. The writing is fluid, great world building, and the plots are great. Book 1 & 2, it's Omegaverse, perhaps not for everyone. Lots of blood, gore and steam.
Thrown to the Wolves

Thanks, Omegaverse is not for me, neither is lots of blood & guts lol! I'd read other stuff by her though.
So, the last few for me were












Maria, after 'discovering' her via booktube a couple of years ago, and seeing SO MANY people either stanning or vilifying SJM and her books, I am loath to ever go down that rabbit hole, even if I am somewhat curious about them!


It's one of those series (I've been told the 2nd vol is much better, tho). It's like if you don't vote, you lose the right to kvetch. I feel like if I don't read this, I lose the right to grouse in my communities.

Yep, I've heard loads that book 2 is far better than 1, and I get that argument!


I could not put this book down. I had to know what happened next. The main character is strong and stands up for herself and does the hard things so she can look at herself in the mirror. SPOIERL SPOIER

The plot is that all magical people who are kids attract "mals" evil creatures that want to eat them and their magic. So a magical school was built to help increase their chances of survival. These "mals" hunt you in between classes, in the library, in the cafeteria line, everywhere.
So every moment is a struggle to survive, make alliances with other kids to live, and learn enough magic so that you can survive graduation (trying to escape the school without getting eaten)
The main character has a magical affinity for destruction and evil. It's actually really funny. The school will give her lessons on how to set off a supervolcano and all she wants is a cleaning spell for her room.
This book had humor, action, some sad parts, and the friendship between her and the guy who keeps trying to save everyone is so funny I laughed out loud multiple times.
I highly recommend this book. There is not a cliffhanger ending but the ending does leave you screaming for more.


I liked how protective he was of her and how he eventually figured out his house was not lonely with her in it. Also, very hot love scenes.









So I finished this beauty, the first three were re-reads and the rest were first times because the series is now complete. I will forever wax lyrical about this series in particular and the author in general. A 5 star series from start to finish.
And as I need something much lighter after all that angst (and laughter - there is a fair amount of that too, especially in the last book) I'm currently learning about some very unusual types of shifters and magical winged pets🥰... kittens, puppies, dragons and horses!!! This series is my second from this author and is a treat and will have me going down the rabbit hole in their backlist...
