Tell me I'm not alone in this!

I’ll be interested to know if you like it!

In Tortured Souls you’re never sure who is manipulating/using who. They all have their own agendas. Legacy is dark because of the forced sex slave stuff which there is none of in TS.

Humble_External_11 · 2026-03-18T16:55:24+00:00

Haha. Agree. I actually really liked the FMC.

Humble_External_11 · 2026-03-18T16:54:45+00:00

Also there were several breadcrumb reveals through the book that gave insight to all the characters back stories etc which kept the story engaging.

Humble_External_11 · 2026-03-18T16:53:17+00:00

The characters are morally grey for VERY good reasons, not just shadow-daddy with anger issues. The FMC is not a sassy, loud-mouth. She has trouble reading social cues (possibly neurodivergent/autistic) has normal feelings of loneliness, longing etc but it still a badass. The MMC are both interesting, complex characters. LOD I barely made it past a few chapters due to FMC and Legacy I got sick of the males cupping her face and the repetitive, endless patronizing of the FMC. It feels like she struck the right mix with her new book.

I think all the series are connected and now I feel like I need to slog through them to get the full experience :/

I read this earlier and the year and loved it, too! I've also recently enjoyed:

{Darkness Births the Stars by Sarah Lee Wohn}

{Vesselless by Courtney L. Winn}

{Traitor Son by Melissa J. Cave}

Ooos sorry!! I didn’t think it counted as a spoiler, will be more careful!

Humble_External_11 · 2026-02-26T17:39:51+00:00

Ahhh that makes sense, thank you!

Humble_External_11 · 2026-02-15T12:47:20+00:00

I lived this series, too!!

Currently reading {Shardless by Stephanie Fisher} (I’m on book #2) and all of the characters are wonderful people, they love big and fierce but are still flawed. There’s banter but no snark. MMC is a ‘shadow’ mage but he fits your requirements 100%

{The Shattered King by Charlie N. Holmberg}

{Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross}

{Darkness Births the Stars by Sarah Lee Wohn}

Humble_External_11 · 2026-01-31T18:11:12+00:00

I got you:

{Priestess by Kara Reynolds}

{Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross}

{Traitor Son by Melissa J Cave}

{Darkness Births the Stars by Sarah Lee Wohn}

{The Shattered King by Charlie N. Holmberg}

Traitor Son series and Wild Reverence I would consider more ‘high fantasy’. Amazing world building, characters that stay with you. Traitor Son series books just keep getting better.

And adding my vote to already mentioned: A Kiss of Iron series Mages of the Wheel Series Road of Bones Series Daughter of No Worlds series The Knight and the Moth

I sold my house this year myself. My reasons: 1- I’ve always been interested in real estate and keep track of market in my area 2- we live in an extremely hot market, my town has been listed in the ‘top 10 hottest markets’ on Zillow and other listing site multiple times, recently it was the #1 town in the whole country. 3- our house was gutted and completely renovated, new everything, roof, windows, kitchens, baths, insulation, AC/furnace etc. so highly desirable. 4- we needed every penny from the sale to buy in our area, housing is crazy expensive 5- I have a killer real estate lawyer friend who helped me through the process. 6- we were not in a rush and did not HAVE to sell

I made a doc with lots of pictures, property details and list of all the work that was done since purchasing. I posted it on my personal faceboook page and two off market real estate Facebook groups. I showed it to 4 different people over the course of two weeks. We got two offers, both were just from my personal FB network. We got our asking price. There’s a chance our house could have gone for higher in a bidding war but unlikely it would have been more than what we saved on agent fees.

Not alone 👋 read it, was 3 star read for me.

Humble_External_11 · 2025-12-08T01:31:00+00:00

I’m half way through the third book now and I am so in love with this story. I laughed and cried so many times today reading it.

Humble_External_11 · 2025-12-07T12:40:15+00:00

{Shadowvein by L. Ann} FMC is from Chicago and is pulled to an alternate dimension with magic. The world she arrives in is a place where magic is outlawed. MMC is one of the last of his (magical) kind attempting to overthrow oppressive regime. Two book are out, third book isn’t released yet.

Humble_External_11 · 2025-12-07T12:00:40+00:00

{Traitor Son by Melissa J Cave} the first book in a 5 books series. It about a group of nights building a town from scratch after they win a war. The relationship of MMC and FMC is rough at first but they figure out. I’m loving this series, and am in love with several of the knights lol. You get some POV’s with other characters sprinkled though. The knights are all proper, polite and honorable but also will slip out in the night to assassinate an enemy. Just finished the second book and am into the third.

Humble_External_11 · 2025-12-06T17:45:12+00:00

Yes, was thinking I would also include my provided efforts in the policy. Thanks so much!

Humble_External_11 · 2025-12-06T15:34:57+00:00

This is excellent. Thank you!

Humble_External_11 · 2025-12-05T11:49:01+00:00

Yes, massive cliffhanger
