L.K. Reads: “The Perfect Marriage”

I hate this book. I previously had zero plans to review it—in fact, I had planned on penning a comparison review of Frieda McFadden’s hit thriller The Housemaid and the recently released film adaption by the same name (what can I say, I’m a sucker for Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney).  But then, last Friday...

L.K. Reads: “Dead of Winter”

Andddd we’re back, with another (long overdue) book review.  I’ll be honest, while I set a lofty goal for my 2025 reading list and even planned out most of the books I wanted to read in advance—well, things never quite turn out the way you hope.  Most of the books I actually read this year...

Writing, and Why I Love to Hate It

I didn't have a great idea for a post today. I don't want to keep posting previous things, and all my energy so far has been going towards either finishing my last few books before 2025, decorating for Christmas, and keeping my cats from eating everything they deem remotely tasty (this week, it's been puzzle...

Character Profile: Lucianna Cross

An unholy vow shattered Lucy’s humanity, leaving her a shell of her former self. She kills without mercy or remorse, and reaps sadistic pleasure from tormenting her victims. Her disarming beauty and coquettish nature are nothing but an illusion built to conceal the monster underneath. Name: Lucianna (“Luci”) Cross Alias: Lady Red Gender: Female Age:...

Character Profile: Julian Rimmer

Charismatic and quirky, Julian knows how to charm just about anyone, and likes to play his actions off as harmless mischief. Lame puns and a simple smile are enough to win over most, yet beneath the sweet facade lies an even deeper secret. At his core Julian is little more than a self-centered degenerate, masquerading...

Character Profile: Emily Lyn

The protagonist. Taken from her family as child, she has only the faintest memories of her past life, and was forced to adopt the ways of monsters in order to survive. Emily is hostile towards outsiders and cruel, more concerned with self-preservation than the wellbeing of others. Through the years she’s managed to rely on... Continue Reading →

L.K. Reads: “Crossed”

Okay, full disclosure: I am a slut for dark romance. Nowadays, who isn't, right? BookTok is flooded with some of the most salacious literary recommendations in bookstores , from dark comedies like Butcher and Blackbird to sexual thrillers like Haunting Adeline and Her Soul to Take. It's hard to believe that just over a decade... Continue Reading →
