BLURB

Fate is a funny little thing.

It had a good laugh when I found my boyfriend of four years in bed with my best friend.

It was rolling on the floor when the same backstabbing beasts stole my dream school, landing me in a different state, where I didn’t know a single soul.

You’d think after all that, it’d cut me a break, right?

Wrong.

Enter its next jest, and this one’s a doozy.

Kai Elliot. Campus womanizer. Self-proclaimed bad boy. And the new bane of my existence—but not for the reason you might think.

Kai is as beautiful as the ink that mars his skin. Perfect lines. Vibrant colors. Designs as intricate as the man who bears them. I knew from the first moment I laid eyes on him that he was dangerous. A man who would destroy everything I stood for, stripping me bare for the world to see, and that’s exactly what he does.

I don’t love him. Hell, I don’t even like him. But that doesn’t stop me from injecting him into my veins like he’s my own personal brand of narcotics. Nothing can top the high he gives me, which is why I keep coming back for more, even when I know I shouldn’t.

And just when I think maybe fate isn’t that bad after all, it goes and gets my traitorous heart involved. Because the only thing worse than loving a man who betrays you- is loving a man who will never love you back.

If fate is real, I’m pretty sure it hates me.

#BookReview: Dirty Lying Wolves (The Enchanted Fates #3) by @sabrinablackburry

From the author of Dirty Lying Faeries and Dirty Lying Dragons comes a new installment in the Enchanted Fates series in which a young woman involuntarily finds herself in the company of a rogue pack of wolves, with plenty of troubles of their own.

When Juniper stumbles across a small group of strangers during her morning power walk, she jumps in to help an injured member of the party. However, her act of kindness backfires when she’s savagely bitten by what turns out to be a very ill werewolf.

The pack’s acting leader, Dom, gives June a choice: she can return to the human world post-transformation or she can join the pack. Either way, she’ll never be the same again. 

June will have to decide if she wants to face her new reality and take her place with Dom in the pack or risk tearing everything apart.

In a realm where being supernatural is all but illegal, Stella Mikers has hidden her supernatural spirit and done it well for over a decade. Up against the wire to produce a piece of hard-hitting journalism to solidify her career and no other ideas, she decides it's time to come out of hiding and embrace what she truly is - a Valkyrie.

She dusts off her wings and goes undercover at Robert Sinclair’s Reformation Academy, the prison alternative that boasts the ability to turn supernaturals into simplynaturals, removing what makes them different and allowing them to better assimilate into society.

But there is something fishy about a vampire who can now be a phlebotomist and a necromancer who works as a mortician. Stella is determined to discover what is going on behind those golden gates and expose the Academy to the realm.

What she didn't expect to find at the Academy were starving vampires who wanted to feed from her feet, a shy cyclops suitemate, or a reaper who is sunshine personified. Even one of her simplynatural professors draws her attention in a way she can't explain. Stella's plan didn't include making friends, but now that she has, she’s dead set on doing whatever it takes to keep them safe.

Robert Sinclair’s Reformation Academy has a dark secret, and it’s up to Stella to uncover it before all of them are reformed.

Reformed is the first book in a planned four book why choose paranormal romance series, meaning Stella will not have to choose between her love interests. This slow-burn MFMMM book is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit content.
