⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣ ⁣ So, I'm doing a re-read of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣
⁣
So, I'm doing a re-read of the Lords of Discord series atm because @jocelynn.drake just released a new book (Visiting the Variks) about these boys today! 🖤 Happy release day!⁣
⁣
Anyway, I read them all in a rush last year (because I enjoyed them), so I'd say it's nice to take my time this way around... But I'm already four books deep again. (I'm saving Healing Aiden for the inevitably needed post-Eurovision boost on Sunday.)⁣
⁣
Marcus is the steadfast protector of his three brothers and their mother, but he's also desperately lonely. Ethan is looking for vengeance on the vampires who slaughtered his entire family. Marcus is his best lead, but taking on the job of his daytime assistant might have been a mistake, because the more Ethan learns about him, the more difficult he finds it to stay the path.⁣
⁣
First of all, I forgot what a laugh Ethan is. He's forward, flirtatious, and ready to get his own way. The chemistry between him and Marcus is palpable, and it's great to see how they overcome the different hurdles of Ethan's secrets, Marcus' circumstances, as well as the fact that Marcus is still struggling with shame he feels about his own sexuality.⁣
⁣
I love all the brothers, of course, though in this one Rafe is probably my favourite outside of Ethan and Marcus. Winter, too, but that's just my innate leaning toward the silent, dangerous characters (dw, I'm sure he's just as much of a dork as the rest of them!).⁣
⁣
It's interesting, too, to see how the overall story kicks off here. Each book has its own couple (/throuple) and external plot, but they're all building to something bigger. This one comes together nicely, exposing us to parts of this huge vampire world but without being overwhelming with the details.⁣
⁣
Oh, and poor Julianna 💔 At least all her boys will slowly be happy again!⁣

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣ ⁣ Luck of the Devil is out to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣
⁣
Luck of the Devil is out today! Happy release day, @larktaylor!⁣
⁣
Dimitri and Dagon have spent millennia in and out of each other's orbit, so it's a shock when they discover that sweet human Lucky might be just who they need to make things work. He needs them too; he's hiding a secret that might break him, but the two hot, dangerous-seeming men who seem intent on bedding him might just be the ones to help. But there's much more than the earthly domain to consider. Hell is getting rowdy, and all of Lucifer's sons are needed to protect their mates – and all the other humans out there, too.⁣
⁣
I don't want to say it's bittersweet (because this book is not that!) but it's definitely sad the series is over. I revisited the first three books before I read this one last week and God, I forgot how fun the characters are. The worldbuilding is fantastic, and the way the overall plot weaves together and builds to this almost 500-page finale? Loved it.⁣
⁣
And I love, too, that this is an MMM book. There are plenty out there, sure, but they're not always that easy to find and can suffer from a lack of space to really explore the relationship because you're dealing with three characters instead of two. I think they're eye-opening in terms of what you can explore, especially when it comes to challenging (mainly heteronormative) ideas of possessiveness and jealousy. Don't get me wrong, that's fun to read about (and what I really enjoyed in Deal with the Devil!), but there's a space to explore the opposite of that too, as well as how communication helps keep a relationship – any relationship – healthy.⁣
⁣
Communication is key here. A lack of it has hurt Dimitri and Dagon and Lucky needs them to be open and transparent with him. Obviously, communication is a common theme in romance books – it comes with the genre – but it's interesting to see the way it has cropped up in this series in general, and how each relationship has been both threatened by a lack of it and, then, strengthened through honesty and effort.⁣
⁣
All that to say, I loved this book. I love this series! I'm so glad we're getting some more of this world, and I can't wait for it. 🖤⁣

So, I might have reviewed this book on here alread So, I might have reviewed this book on here already, but considering Luck of the Devil is out tomorrow (!!!), it seemed absolutely worth the read.⁣
⁣
(Also, I love it. I love it so much.)⁣
⁣
Mori is looking for love. He had it once, and lost it, and having seen Cal and Harlow find their fated mates, he's desperate for his own. Too bad the hot, fragile guy who just walked into his club definitely isn't for him, though.⁣
⁣
Except... River has a secret. He's not nearly as helpless as he appears; he just needs Mori's help to find his brother – and he knows tricking him is the only way to get what he wants. Despite the betrayal, will they finally come together?⁣
⁣
I think this story is possibly my favourite one of the series. River is suuuch a perfect match for Mori (and Mori's sulky dorkiness is incredible in response!) and they've got amazing chemistry. The pacing is great, too; there's other stuff going on, so while their relationship is of course integral to the plot, the hidden identity stuff isn't dragged out to the point where it's annoying.⁣
⁣
Also, River. I just love him. I think he's my favourite of all the mates, and Harlow might have Oscar as his bestie, but he and River are fated best friends. Probably.⁣
⁣
Outside of the relationship/character stuff, there's some good worldbuilding in this one as we scale up for the finale. I like how River fits into it all, because I wasn't certain at the end of Devil May Care how that would be the case, but that end fight situation is a lotttt of fun.⁣
⁣
Look out for:⁣
💧 possessive/jealous⁣
💧 both of them will kill you⁣
💧 ropes⁣
💧 hidden identity⁣
⁣
Give it a read before Luck of the Devil comes out tomorrow!⁣

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣ ⁣ Ah yes just give me 300 mor ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣
⁣
Ah yes just give me 300 more pages of Harlow being his best self thanks.⁣
⁣
The second book in @larktaylor's The Reckless Damned series, this one centres Harlow (my fave of the brothers, obviously) and his relationship with Oscar's best friend, Bailey. Although Harlow feels that fated bond between them, what's a demon to do when he's outright rejected?⁣
⁣
Stalking is definitely not the answer... right? 😏⁣
⁣
Despite the twists and turns the story takes, this definitely feels like the softest book in the series in terms of the relationship. Harlow and Bailey have a lot to work through – Bailey especially – and it's a nice steady build that I really enjoy reading.⁣
⁣
Also, I think I was pretty sick the first time I read this because some of the emotional stuff hit wayyyy harder on the recent second read. I loved, too, that we get more info about hell, and a bunch of stuff that I think settles better now that I know how it fits into the overarching plot.⁣
⁣
Plus, Harlow and Bailey are the sweetest!⁣
⁣
Check it out. Only five more days until it's all over! 🖤⁣

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣ ⁣ Okay, OKAY so Not All Himbo ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣
⁣
Okay, OKAY so Not All Himbos Wear Capes was a spicy, spicy book but I re-read it before I read this and THIS ONE???⁣
⁣
🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶⁣
⁣
Oof.⁣
⁣
Wolfgang needs to find his sister, Violentia, before she does anything... unwise, and he needs an assistant to do that. Enter Simon, a sassy little drama queen who's ready to match Wolfgang beat for beat. They're a perfect fit... but their quest to find Wolfgang's sister will lead to them uncovering a whole lot more than they expected.⁣
⁣
Just like the last book, this is a great combination of spicy and funny, and is packed full of kinks. I looooove a character who is creepy/off-putting/smooth to everyone else but is actually a massive dork, so Wolfgang is obviously my fave. Simon's not one to back down, either, which makes him the perfect fit for this murder family.⁣
⁣
I love, too, that Xander and Butch are around for this, AND that we get a look at the rest of the siblings. (I cannot WAIT for Balty's book, which is not something I would have said after the first one – I feel like he might just be the real himbo here.) Oh, and Simon's mum. She's iconic.⁣
⁣
Look out for:⁣
🔪 fated mates⁣
🔪 will kill for you⁣
🔪 size difference⁣
🔪 age gap⁣
🔪 praise and degradation⁣
