Reader Question… Solved! The book where she falls in love with him, she can’t leave their house, and he murders women…

By 8 Comments

Time for another Maryse’s Book Blog Reader Question! Cindy is looking for this book…

AND OMG this one sounds crazy, and kind of scary (or maybe A LOT scary). Psych-thriller? Dark read? Dark romance? Scary stalker? Horror? All of the above? Yes please!

She asks:

Looking for a book I read several years ago.

I might have several books merging into one in my brain, but I think someone will be able to come up with it.

The h falls for the H and lives with him (he may have kidnapped her, or for whatever reasons does not let her leave the house)…..

he is very wealthy……

he murders women….

I believe there is more than one book in the series….. and I think somewhere along the lines, the h gets pregnant.

Ring any bells?

Anyone have a different guess? Let’s make a list!! This is one of my favorite tropes.

Maryse: Almost makes me think of my beloved “You” series that I love so much. So I’ll throw that in as my guess (though a couple of details are a bit off from “You” but not by much – and since it’s a series… this questions kind of works). P.S. Here are my reviews of the first 2 books in the “You” series, and I CAN’T WAIT to read #3!!!

Robyn: Bloodstained Beauty by Ella Fields is in this category. I just read it too!

Cindy: It’s none of the books suggested so far….I feel we are close, but not quiet. I feel I read this around the same time the Consequences series came out from Althea Romig….. and for some reason I keep going back to Roman as the H’s name (although I could be totally off on that)

Cindy: I think it might be Roman by Kimber S. Dawn….I’m doing a re-read to confirm.

Maryse: Ohhhh! Let us know. This is a pretty awesome list already!

Kitty: Is it Mine or His by Aubrey Dark?

Niki: It’s been a long time since I’ve read it, so I’m not sure if all the details fit, but could it be the Consequences series by Aleatha Romig?

Maryse: OMG Niki!!! That one popped into my head too!!!!! But I don’t think he murdered anyone… did he? I’ll add it!

Cindy: It is Roman by Kimber S. Dawn!

Maryse: YAY!!!! Another one solved! I love when a reader question is solved!! Even if it’s by the one asking. LOL!!! 😂

Reader Question – The book about the girl that is saved by a guardian angel, and later, they fall in love | Maryse’s Book Blog

By Leave a Comment

Ash needs our book help! OMG THIS BOOK SOUNDS INCREDIBLE and poignant and so unique and almost… healing you know? Oh my, I imagine reading going in blind, and taking my breath away with that ending! And even though I know the whole story now, I’d still want to read this.

BUT! I caution you to proceed slowly as there are spoilers (which I have alerted to below). 😉

She asks:

Hey Maryse,

I have been looking for the book for a long time but I am unable to find it could not find it. And from the last time when your blog helped me with finding a book, I think this will be the best option here. I remember the plot of the book but nothing else.

Please help me find the name of the book; I’ve been looking for it for a long time now.

It’s about a girl who is saved by her guardian angel and as a result she sees dead people and the bridge to afterlife, and years later the guardian angel meets her in high school and they fall in love.

*spoiler alert*

The book ends with the girl dying and going to the afterlife which looks like a city, she meets her mother or father there and that couples wishing to have an afterlife together have to walk on a road that no one knows leads where.

A little girl shows her around and we later learn that she is the one in control there. They go to a tree where people disappear becoming a butterfly and thus are reborn.

Reader Question – When will Blaire 3 by Anita Gray be released?

By 4 Comments

A new Maryse’s Book Blog reader question for us to solve! And I think I did… sort of. 😉

Shaleen (and apparently many others) are anxiously awaiting book #3 in this dark read series. I hadn’t heard of yet, but now I have. HOLY MOLY. So I did some research…

She asks:

Hello Maryse

I hope you are well.

I wait for your blog post everyday. It’s become a place where I can express my feelings about books freely. Thank you for that. :)…

I was wondering if you know anything about when Blaire 3 by Anita Gray will release. I have searched Google but it’s still old stuff.

If you find out anything please let me know.

Stay safe 🤗

So far… the info is a bit vague. The author is still active on Facebook (so that’s a great sign!!), and most of what I’ve found is her response letting readers know that she’s still working on it.

Here’s what I found so far:

15 weeks ago (approx. June 2020), two readers asked when would Blaire 3 be released (while she was online) and she responded:

I don’t have a release date, but I’m working on it (just stopping for coffee 😉 ) <3

And then another reader said:

Blaire 3 is COMING!!!
She said that she is finishing the series before publishing… there might be more after 3🤔🤔🤯🤯

I haven’t been able to find where the reader got that info (maybe the author’s newsletter?) but the author did not dispute that at all, and in fact, was corresponding with all the commenters under this.

AHHHH!! HERE!! I FOUND IT! On March 3, 2019 she posted this:

I’ve had hundreds of emails/messages/comments on Facebook/in groups, and I think it’s time to address things.

BLAIR3 is coming. I’m confused as to why some think it’s not. 🤔

As some of you might know, I’ve been unwell this past year and my partner isn’t doing much better. But that hasn’t stopped me from working as hard as I possibly can (I plough through 14 hour days 7 days a week, nonstop to market/manage/write/edit/adult with my house and my family). I’ve brought BLAIRE’S WORLD with some incredible authors (which I had no creative influence over, and had the support of the manager, Elizabeth Peters, who allowed me to just write) and soon will come BLAIR3. I do not have a release date. After BLAI2E and having to pull the title from pre-order publication because I felt it wasn’t ready, I’ve learned a valuable lesson; do not set release dates when you aren’t 100% ready. It’s not fair on the readers.

Another issue I’d like to address from certain comments: I’ve said this before, and I’m going to say it again, I cannot write on demand. Yes, there are some incredible authors out there who can – some even push out a book each month or bang out 100k word titles within days – but that is not and will never be me. I’ve tried, but it blocks me, and then I can’t write anything at all – worse than that, the stress makes me very well and my health comes first over writing. So, from all these lessons, I write when I can and when the characters speak to me – and the great news is, for months now, Blaire and Charlie have been doing more than speaking to me. They’re screaming at me. I stay up all night writing. Often, I wake after 4 hours of sleep and keep writing. Their story is unfolding in the most dark, delectable way. (Trust me, when this comes, you’ll be glad I took my time and didn’t rush it for the sake of demand; I’m fighting to ensure it’s better than BLA1RE and BLAI2E). It’s dark, emotional, full of action – and things you will not expect. Hell, it’s full of things I did not expect.

When BLAIR3 is ready, it’ll be a quick release. At the most, you guys will have to wait 4-6 weeks from the publication announcement. I want to get it to you all as quickly as possible.

Until then, please be patient with a girl who’s trying her best. Your support is what keeps me going. You should absolutely read BLAIRE’S WORLD while you wait. It’s an incredible series that turned out better than I could have ever imagined – a certain book even focuses on Charlie’s brother 

Enjoy, guys, and I thank you for your patience.

Anita 

Also… on March 7th 2020… talk of potential movie news for this series? The author posted:

BLAIRE fans! I have some pretty neat news!

Taleflick (a story curation company) asked if they could enter BLAIRE in a competition that could potentially put me in touch with movie producers… EKKK! (I’ve attached their emails to the image so you can read them 😇)

The competition goes live next week, and then you must cast your vote! I’ll keep you all updated on how and where to vote. As you can imagine, I’m uber excited

Would you like to see BLAIRE turned into a movie?

P.S. For those of us that haven’t heard of this series, here is the series reading order (and extras) – and a whole spinoff of the series called “Blaire’s World”!

Anita Gray – Blaire (The Dark Romance Series) Reading Order – Maryse’s Book Blog

By Leave a Comment

DARK READ/DARK ROMANCE ALERT!! This series was brought to my attention when Shaleen asked a reader question about when book #3 would be released. I found the answer (well pretty much) 😉 AND I went down a “Blaire” rabbit hole reading all of the enthusiastic reader comments PLUS finding out there’s an entire spinoff series for it.

“Bought. Conditioned. Sold to the enemy.

…You’re going to need a strong stomach and a strong heart to follow my story, because take my word for it, it’s no fairy tale.”

So now that it’s on my radar, I will be stalking book #3 and announcing it as soon as I know PLUS, I thought I’d go ahead and post all the books so far. 😉

About book #1:

Bought. Conditioned. Sold to the enemy.

My name is Blaire. I’m head of security to a man who controls the Russian underworld in Europe. His name is Maksim and he’s my master. He bought me ten years ago and conditioned me with brutality to worship and protect him. And I have protected him. I’ve slain everyone who has tried to do him harm. Everyone but a man he loans me to; a man who threatens to break me and everything I believe in.

You’re going to need a strong stomach and a strong heart to follow my story, because take my word for it, it’s no fairy tale.

SERIES READING ORDER

AND!!! Here’s a sort of… spinoff of the series, while you wait for #3. The author says:

“If you don’t know what BLARIE’S WORLD is, let me explain: BLAIRE’S WORLD is a series of standalones, written by a mixture of bestselling and new authors, deriving from The Dark Romance Series, Anita Gray’s #1 International Amazon Bestselling Series. The genre theme is going to be dark, mafia related – total panty-dropping-badass stories that I hope you’ll enjoy as much as I will.”
