Reader Question – The book where two besties are at a bar on Halloween, and she sees a long lost friend & weird things happen…

By Leave a Comment

Kendal needs our book help! Okay so the whole thing seems to evolve into a Peter Pan Neverland theme, and I could swear I posted some of these Reverse Harem Neverland fantasy books a few months (to a year?) ago. Maybe these are the same ones?

She asks:

Hello!

It has been long time! I’m really glad that you guys are still here. I need help.

I once again need you guys help with finding the title of a book I read awhile back.  This book may be confusing to explain so bear with me.  It starts out with a girl who goes to a bar on Halloween with her bestie one roommate (same person).  The main character sees, who she assumes, is someone who looks like a long lost friend of hers that disappeared. read more

FANTASY ROMANCE LOVERS!!! BOOK #5 IS UP FOR PREORDER! P.S. These book covers have me!!

About book #1:

I could save him, but he would ruin me.

The beast. The creature that stalks the forbidden wood. The dragon prince. He has suffered a fate worse than death. We all have. A curse put upon us by the mad king.

We are a kingdom locked in time. Shifters unable to feel our animals. Stuck here by a deal between the late king and a demon who seeks our destruction.

The only one keeping this kingdom alive is Nyfain, the golden prince to a stolen throne. The last dragon shifter. He’s our hope. He’s my nightmare. When he catches me trespassing in the forbidden wood, he doesn’t punish me with death, as he’s entitled. He takes me, instead. Forces me back to the castle as his prisoner. Seeks to use me. read more

FANTASY ROMANCE/REVERSE HAREM??? HAVE YOU READ THIS ONE YET? Joy & Aimee LOVE IT!!

Joy: OMG, Maryse!!! I just finished The Never King (Vicious Lost Boys) book one by Nikki St. Crowe! She took Peter Pan and the Lost Boys to a whole new level, and I really, really enjoyed it!

Tinker Bell married a Fae king and had kids!!! On top of that, she did something that was so shady and sinister that my mouth was gaping for about 2 minutes!!!

I have to admit that it was a bit of a slow start for me. It’s focuses on Wendy’s lineage and I wasn’t sure where it was headed. I’m starting book 2 today. I’m seeing a reverse harem in the making. There are a few scenes of debauchery, lol! Winnie is definitely unchaste. read more
