Had me guessing most of the way through, trying to figure out how the pieces fit and whether I had missed a small detail along the way.

The ending was very satisfying, if not a surprise for me.

A wonderfully dark and disturbing tale.

A variety of charming stories; each a fun read.

There were even a few Idiots-to-Lovers stories, which is a personal fave. Gotta love when you want to reach into a book and slap some sense into the characters. 😆

A perfect seasonal read for a damn good cause. Win/win.

A delightful and delicious read from beginning to end.

The wit, the banter, the irreverence…I couldn't stop grinning.

The various machinations of the villains were the icing on an already enjoyable cake.

JR out charms even the best that Hell or Heaven have to offer.

Such fun.

Adrianne is trapped in a volatile relationship. When her only source of blood for her lover Carm becomes unavailable, things take a turn for the worse.

Enter Petra, a co-worker and tentative friend. Can Adrianne trust another with her dangerous secret? Can she afford not to?

One thing is for sure, blood will be spilt one way or another and there's no telling who will survive.

The Nightstalker's Mark is an intense and spicy dark sapphic romance, HEAVY on the dark. A damn fine read, but mind your squicks.
