King Of Dark (The Prince’s Assassin #1) by Ariana Nash (Review )



⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently discover Ariana Nash, casually strolling through Goodreads and felt intrigued by her stories after I read and Loved Primal Sin( another series of hers) after that,  I became a fan therefore when she announced a new series that will have an Enemies to lovers vibe I couldn’t help myself what can I say enemies to lovers are my new kind of stories🤗. 

The King of Dark tells the story of Nikolas Yazdan an ex soldier that after vowing to never serve the royals until Prince Vasili makes him submit to his orders and discover who is plotting to kill him. 

I have to admit while I like and enjoy  the story I didn’t fully love it like I did with Primal Sin. It might have been because is the first book and the story was a very slow burn kind book (at least the 1st book) but the twist and turns the story and characters gives us are truly amazing 🤯. What I truly love was Prince Vasili, oh my goodness he took the spotlight in the whole story, the dark, tortured and mysterious prince was the cherry and the dessert. I can’t wait how his characters will evolve throughout the series and maybe/hopefully a relationship with Niko . For now we left with a bit of a cliffhanger as to what to expect next. If you have read any of Ariana Nash Past works or are a fan of Silk and Steel series this is right up your alley as is does have a bit of the same vibe.

Primal Sin ( Primal Sin#1) by Ariana Nash



⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don’t remember how the exact time or how I scroll through my Goodreads and found this Amazing book but my goodness it was the best and worse day because now I need more. 

Primal Sin tells the story of Mikhail a guarding angel and Severn a demon disguised as an angel and right hand of Mikhail. Set In a dystopian like setting, this a story of Vengeance and what happens when you fall In love with the enemy.  

When I first discovered Primal Sin I was a bit hesitant to start reading because many reviews advised to wait because of a bit of a cliffhanger and I wanted to wait I truly did but I couldn’t help myself it was too tempting but I’m glad because I truly enjoy it and right now I am impatiently waiting for more. Ariana Nash truly did an amazing job with the story, the setting and most importantly the characters, their mistakes, flaws and virtues make this story an amazing blend. If your a fan of Ariana Nash or just want to enjoy Dark but sexy MM about Angels & Demons this story is for you. :)

Breaking News (Prime Time #2) Cover Reveal







Breaking News, the highly anticipated continuation of Xander and Sean’s story by USA Today bestselling author Ella Frank is coming July 27th, and we have the incredible cover! 



XANDER

Sean Bailey, the older brother of my lifelong best friend, has always been a surly, temperamental pain in my ass. But sometime during the last few weeks, I’ve gone and fallen head over heels for him. 

Gruff and charming, charismatic in his own way, I’ve found myself looking past my preconceptions and discovered a whole new side to Detective Dick—a side I could fall in love with.

But life isn’t always easy—it can change course in the blink of an eye. Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. I know this because last night I experienced both sides.

I went to Sean for help in guarding my body; what I didn’t expect was for him to steal my heart.

The Hunter (Boston Belles #1) -L.J. Shen





Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️. 75 /5  


Hunter Fitzpatrick the wild child and heir to Royal Pipelines.
Sailor Brennan, daughter of a reputable businessman unless proven otherwise and Olympic hopeful. 
What will happen when both have to live together for 6 months. Will he be Hunter or the Prey? 

The Hunter is the first installment of a new series by L.J. Shen. It tells the story of Hunter Fitzpatrick the wild child, the one that seems to only care about party, sex and women. After an unfortunate incident in the form of a sex tape, his family had enough, and gives him an ultimatum be celibate for 6 months and earns his place as a Fitzpatrick heir in comes Sailor Brennan an archer whose dream is to win a gold medal but for that she needs sponsors and to get that she gets the offer of her life babysit Hunter for 6 months.  

I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant to start this series but nevertheless I give in and pick it up when  I first begun  the Hunter I was not very impressed with the story I had trouble warming up to the  characters and their  actions and it took me time but as I kept reading and as a dive in deeper Into the story I started to like it more and warm up to it. I especially love  the introduction to the side characters  most especially Cillian (Hunter’s brother) they way L.J. Shen gave us a little tease on what’s to come made me excited to continue the series which I hope does justice to each character and  won’t fall on the curse (Unfortunately mine)of how sometimes the sound amazing as side characters but when you read them as leads is a whole different picture of what we imagine.  In conclusion while it did took time to warm up to the story I’m happy I continue it, As it got better and enjoy it in the end. To me it was a good start of a new series, new setting and characters. I’m hopeful of what’s to come especially Cillian&Emmabelle (hopefully🤞🏻, please make it happen Mrs. Shen).

Hello! (Update)

Hello, lovely people

I wanted to post an update and apologize on why  I haven’t been posting since I think last year. The reason is life got in the way and with life issues comes stress therefore my mental health was all over the place still kind of is but I’m fighting through it.

One thing that my stress affected  was reading, picking up a book became a chore rather than enjoyment to my mind, I was having difficulty finishing books, loving books. It just wasn’t the same anymore  after that I made the decision stop reading for a while but I kind of missed the feeling of getting lost in a books but since my reading mojo was a bit down I became a bit picky on choosing my next read because before my stress kick in i did have trouble finishing books, many of the books I read before either had some kind of pattern  or just were the same old same nothing new or exciting.  Books that I see today have the same repetitive plots, bully, love triangle or harem or fake something. Not saying their bad at all ,  some of my favorite books have the same troupes but it was just kind of repetitive for me like when vampires and BDSM became the IT thing to write. But like I say I missed reading a good book at night or those days that a book is all you need. To make short , Nowadays I just pick books that either I know I will enjoy or just want to try out and that is also I thing I’ve been doing with Reviews tours or Blitz tours, I still want to support authors but only if I know I have the time and know that is a book I will be interested In not just for the “free book” .  And that has helped me enjoy reading once again, and it boost my mind to feel relax and good. One thing I love about books was that it show me another world, I learned through a characters experience, that I can free me from a bad reality but it has the power to open my eyes to bad realities in life. 

Expect some reviews this week and coming moths since some of my favorite authors are having amazing releases. I will try to post reviews on books that I read and are already out, also new and upcoming books. I’m very excited to get back here and share more with you all. I promise I will try to be a bit more constant, maybe share more bad reviews usually here I only share my good reads and  post either my DNF or low rating books on my Goodreads but will try to mix it up once in a while. 

Thank you,
Itzel 🦋

Nightfall(Devil’s Night #4)- Penelope Douglas (Cover Reveal)





Edit: We Finally have a Date!!!!!
July 24th 
It’s coming prepare your calendars because it will be amazing

Pre-orders are available Clicks the Links here! on AmazonNookiBooks, and KOBO. Nightfall will go into Kindle Unlimited on release day!




From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas comes the thrilling, final installment in the Devil’s Night series… 

EMORY
They call it Blackchurch. A secluded mansion in a remote, undisclosed location where the wealthy and powerful send their misbehaving sons to cool off away from prying eyes. 
Will Grayson has always been an animal, though. Reckless, wild, and someone who was never bound by a single rule other than to do exactly what he wanted. There was no way his grandfather was going to risk him humiliating the family again. 
Not that the last time was entirely his fault. He might’ve enjoyed backing me into corners in high school when no one was looking, so they wouldn’t catch on that Mr. Popular actually wanted a piece of that quiet, little nerd he loved to torture so much, but…
He could also be warm. And fierce in keeping me safe. 
The truth is… He has a right to hate me. 
It’s all my fault. Everything. 
Devils Night. The videos. The arrests. 
I’m to blame for all of it. 
And I regret nothing.

WILL
I never minded being locked up. I learned a long time ago that being treated like an animal gives you permission to act like one. No one has ever looked at me any other way. 
Their only mistake is believing anything I do is an accident. I can sit in this house with no Internet, television, liquor, or girls, but I’ll come out of here with something far more frightening to my enemies. 
A plan. 
And a new pack of wolves. 
I just didn’t expect one of my enemies to come to me. 
I don’t know who smuggled her in or if they meant to leave her here, but I can smell her hiding in the house. She’s here. 
And as the security detail leaves the supplies, the gates close, and the door to my gilded cage opens, giving me free reign of the house and grounds for another unsupervised month, I remember with a smile… 
Blackchurch houses five prisoners. I’m only one of her problems.

*Nightfall, Devil’s Night #4,  is a full-length, romantic suspense suitable for readers 18+. It’s necessary to read the prior installments in the series before starting this story.

Tweet Cute- Emma Lord






I have to admit that 2019 was not my reading year will go in more depth in another post but fortunately there was some light to my darkness in my book slump. I was honor to have been chosen to review Emma Lord debut novel “Meet Cute” a fluffy, witty, lighthearted novel just as good as a gooey grilled cheese or burger depending on your tastes. 

Meet Cute is the story of two teens Pepper and Jack both of them have families that own a food business but what happens when a Twitter war ensues  between them and what happens when they start falling for each other. 

I adored this rom com. More than the cuteness overload the story also provide good deep aspects that I seriously loved. While is was funny and cute it also had that seriousness to it was the perfect mix to a good heartfelt rom com. The characters were well developed and liked and the writing was excellent. In overall Tweet Cute was great debut, it provide all the key points for a perfect read. I would recommend to have some snacks while reading because you’ll get hungry 😉❤️.
