Beyond The Horizon
By Bea Paige
⭐⭐⭐⭐
He arrived on a warm summer’s day…
Malakai Azaiah Dunbar, a loner whose home was the ocean I adored.
I was eighteen, he was thirty-six.
My foolish heart was stolen by a man who refused to accept I existed. A forbidden kiss sending him back into the arms of the ocean.
I was nineteen. He was thirty-seven.
He was changed. Cruel. Abrasive. Until he wasn't and I gave him something precious.
I'm twenty. He’s thirty-eight.
Just like the ocean we both adore, Malakai is mysterious, tumultuous, dangerous and not to be tamed. Fear has kept us apart for too long, but I'm not afraid anymore. It's time to lay everything on the line. It's time to bring him home.
Well this was a bit good! Read within 2 hours! Was a great link to Misfits series. I got quite emotional in parts just wishing Malakai would sort his s**t out. Another fab book from Bea Paige she certainly knows how to bring out the emotions in a reader.

Kingdom of the Wicked ( Book 1)
By Kerri Maniscalco
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Two sisters.One brutal murder. A quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself... And an intoxicating romance. Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe -- witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family's renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin...desecrated beyond belief. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister's killer and to seek vengeance at any cost-even if it means using dark magic that's been long forbidden. Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked-princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child. Wrath claims to be on Emilia's side, tasked by his master with solving the series of women's murders on the island. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems...
This was very good I really enjoyed it. The characters were so well done and I loved the beasts (demons) of hell. The story is really interesting and I’m looking forward to getting more of these sinfully wicked brothers.

Aug 5, 2025
Barrowbeck starts off as a cautionary folk tale (more the “everyone dies horribly” type, granted, but it still has a hint of the myth and legend about it), and then each story brings us closer to the modern day and beyond.
There is something in Barrowbeck that needs payment of some sort - a devil or a demon? We never see it, but we do see what it drives people to.
I don’t know if I could even describe what happens in this. It’s a series of interlinking short stories, and I didn’t know where I was being taken next, but I was happy to go! There were some seriously sinister stories in this gem of a book. The last story, although extreme, really didn’t feel all that far fetched. The extreme ramifications of Climate Change are only around the corner, after all.
This is a firm favourite - wonderful writing, and a really unnerving collection of stories. And if you haven’t read Starve Acre yet, get on it!

The Void ( Witching Savannah book 3)
By J.D. Horn
⭐️⭐️⭐️
An otherworldly energy runs through the city of Savannah, betraying its sleepy, moss-cradled charm. The old, beguiling streets look welcoming to most - but certain families know what lurks under their genteel surfaces. Families like Mercy Taylor's, which has the most powerful lineage of witches in the South, know this all too well.
Mercy and her husband, Peter, are happily preparing to welcome baby Colin into their lives. But their excitement quickly becomes overshadowed by a gruesome discovery: someone has scattered severed limbs throughout the city. After a troubling visit from an old foe, Mercy learns dark magic is at play, and someone - or something - wants her and her unborn child out of the picture. To uncover the shocking reason why, the amateur witch must face a force beyond her power - or risk losing everything.
This wasn’t my favourite of the series it seemed a bit fragmented and rushed. Although the ending was good an I enjoyed seeing things reversed ect it just felt strange. Despite this I did enjoy a most of it.

Merissa (14198 KP) rated The Vampire's Curse (Beyond The Mist #1) in Books
Feb 1, 2022
Their love was fated but Andrei couldn't see how it would work, being as he was supposed to kill her. Sonia just knew it wouldn't kill her but couldn't answer why. And it all tied in nicely with Korinna.
This was fast and perfectly paced. The sparks flew between them and I have a whole glut of other characters I want stories for - including Korinna. Someone must break her curse!
I loved this world and the fact Sonia is a strong-willed woman who will help to lead the vampires. Andrei is perfectly protective over here but I know she will keep him on his toes.
A brilliant way to start the series and I loved every word. Highly recommended by me.
