Withered Rose by D.E. Chapman
Beast/Roman (H29), an alpha transformed into a kludde after rejecting a gold-digging witch’s advances, enjoys being a beast who terrorizes the townspeople. He furiously rejects omega Belle (h) when he scents her as his fated mate. Belle never expected when she came in search of the kludde that she’d find her fated mate, as she’s been happy until now with the alpha she’s already bonded and claimed by, Gaston (H). Beast wants nothing to do with her but the pull of the a fated mate is strong. Lovely and imaginative BATB reimagining. Ultra-hot and steamy Omegaverse with some dubcon, MF, MM, knotting, knotting, biting, claiming, ABO dynamics and more. Ends on a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more.
Looking forward to the rest of the anthology too!

The Wolf's Secret by Stephanie Mirro
Overall Score ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heat Level 🔥🔥🔥
Yall. I have waited FOREVER for this story (no fault of Stephanie's.) And holy hell was it worth the wait! I just finished this enthralling story about a lunar witch and a wolf shifter who are fated mates. Problem is witches and shifters are mortal enemies. What could possibly go wrong? It only took me 4 hours to read this, as I could NOT put it down. The Wolf's Secret is a quick and easy, sexy read that will have you demanding more!

The Wolf's Secret - I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to see if there will be more set in this world. I was immediately invested and could not put it down. I was on the edge of my seat throughout waiting to see what was going to happen next between Rose and Liam. I would love to see more with some of the other side characters.

Review for The Wolf’s Secret by Stephanie Mirro: A Lunar witch, an alpha of a nearby and rival pack, a prophecy that can make or break everything, and more. This story has everything one needs in a supernatural romance, including a HEA… for now. It is book one and has a semi-cliffhanger ending. Though not a dun dun dunnnn end of the world table flipping ending. Even so keep an eye out for the next book. Like any of Stephanie Mirro’s stories, it will be worth the wait.

I am only reading/reviewing Stephanie Mirro's story; The Wolf's Secret.
This is my introduction to Ms Mirro's work, and I enjoyed it, a lot. She made the characters quite real. The story is basically about witches & wolf shifters hate each other. And Rose, our heroine, escapes an incredibly evil Witch Coven leader, & she falls mutually hard in love with her fated mate, the Wolf pack's leader Liam. Along the way there are lots of twists & turns, but this isn't going to turn into a big spoiler! I am really looking forward to the rest of this series & hope that I am given the chance to read & review it.
The only thing I didn't like, is the villain from the Coven was so evil, it was a bit hard to read that part. Fortunately, it was fairly brief, & HEA saved the day!
Also, as an fyi; there is lots of hard core sex. That doesn't bother me (though it often seems a bit odd in paranormal fantasy, lol!), but if you don't want explicit sex scenes, you may want to be aware.
Good stuff. I'm really picky about 5 stars, but this came close.
I received a copy of this long (a good thing) story at no charge and I'm leaving an honest review.

I read The Wolf's Secret by Stephanie Mirro, part of this huge anthology. This was a very sexy read (be warned - but if that is your jam, you'll be quite content with this read!). I enjoyed the story and plot elements aside from the romance parts. The world was easy to submerge myself in, and the story was easy to follow if you've never read a shifter-wolf-witch PNR before. A hot romance between sworn enemies was up front and center with a villain and a few other antagonists in the background. It was an easy read, well-paced, and will definitely appeal to readers of this fated mates anthology.

Review for Wolf Secret by Stephanie Mirro. Wolf shifters haven’t been a favorite of mine for some reason, but since I am a huge fan of this author, I had to follow her here. I am happy with the result! Rose and Liam are such a great couple, and while I wasn’t happy with how Rose dealt with her secrets, I think it was worth it in the end. I love this author’s writing, and I loved this book. Now, I can’t wait to see what Rose, Liam, Mal, and Caleb are going to get up to next. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

Next full moon before h can tell him she is witch, OW tells him. Witches and wolves are mortal enemies. H acts rash and rejects her and tells her to leave. He leaves. Ow takes tonherself to hunt h down.

She is captured by that evil coven leader same night.
Next day H is like omg. What did i do. And goes aftee h. He express his remorse and is ready to grovel, but h is already all in.. so there is no long grovel, as h does not let him.
Ow gets banished and they get hea.

The Lycian’s Queen By Rebekah R. Ganiere
What an interesting start to a series. I love that River does not act like a typical Omega and fights for what she wants. I didn't enjoy her mother, but I understand why she protected her. Even when she had to face she was an omega and reject unwanted advances, she pushed forward and started the life she wanted. Ares is so protective and I truly enjoyed his perspective. He wants River to be normal and submit. Instead he listened to others and courted River and let her move things forward. Another great moment was them meeting again at the art show, what he was willing to do for her. The descriptive writing helped draw you into the word and develop connections with the characters. It is definitely a good mystery, specifically who attacked her when she found out she was an omega. Overall, it was a great start to a series, but be prepared for a big cliffhanger. I highly recommend you meet River and Ares. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Review For The Lycian’s Queen By Rebekah R. Ganiere
Wow! I love the start of this new series. It is jammed packed with action, drama, and suspense. It was a quick read for me but not because it is super short, but because I loved it so much. I loved how it drew me in from the very beginning. I love that River is feisty and strong as well as able to protect herself. Ares is such a protective alpha male that definitely has strong chemistry with River. It is extremely well written and developed. The descriptions are vivid and paint the picture of what is happening throughout the story. It had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation. I just had to find out what was going to happen. This does end in a major cliffhanger and I am super excited to see what happens next. This is absolutely a must read and definitely doesn’t disappoint

I love anthologies and this one has some great authors. So far I have read - The Wolf's Secret By Stephanie Mirro. And this story was a riot. It is the beginning of Liam and Rose's story. It introduces the way they meet and fall for each other. But of course things do not go smoothly and their is some trouble along the way. Made me laugh and smile and groan in this steamy story. Good story and great characters to fall in love with.

Great set with so many great authors - Will update as I read more
The Lycan's Queen - Rebekah R. Ganiere - I adore this book, and can't wait to see where this series takes us. River had a horrible incident in the past and has been dealing with the fall out. Ares is one potent Alpha male. Neither is perfect but they work on themselves and find a way forward. It does end with a big cliffhanger.

It is a shame this anthology was so poorly edited.
Rejected Wolf Queen by Eliza Gayle: This STEAMY paranormal can be read in an afternoon but is spoiled by the author's inability to retain POV. 3*
Cloaked Ties by Aliyah Burke: Another STEAMY paranormal that can be read in an afternoon, this one addresses the abduction and abuse of children. 4*

A good collection
As with all collections the stories vary. Some were excellent and I will look to other books by those authors. This is a good collection of looking for new authors of paranormal books mainly shifter stories.

February 23, 2023
Somebody take an English lit class.
I tried, I really did. I bought it so I forced myself to read the first few pages of each story...But. When you read a Synopsis like this??? " Shay Winters is a fighter from Earth. She is also a vaunted, award-winning singer whose vocal skills gave the troops hope to survive in a situation that was almost hopeless. " I just wanted to laugh. Most of the stories appeared to be part of something else maybe a series , it was quite confusing. All the I, I's and me, me's ( there are other Personal pronouns and nouns available) and the convoluted storylines literally made me cringe. More does not mean Better!!! Too many characters and ridiculous plot lines are a total turn off. I'd hoped to find a new author but alas, Nope. Hone your craft , EBooks are like Bad Tattoos, once they're out there you can't get rid of them even if you eventually write something memorable.

My Review is for The Lycan's Queen Rebekah R. Ganiere
The Lycan's Queen is the first book in a brand new series the Alpha Kings by author Rebekah R. Ganiere. I love the plot of The Lycan's Queen so much. A few years ago I read a book about werewolves and I have been looking for another book like it but alas I have not found it until now that is and The Lycan's Queen is it.
I love this story of a girl and her wolf and mating. I love all the big twists that keep popping up one after the other in this world especially that big one at the end there. Oh, what a great twist to this wonderful little story. I loved The Lycan's Queen from the first page but I fell even deeper in love with it after that twist. I can’t wait for the next book to continue this amazing story.
The Lycan's Queen drew me in with its plot of a girl and the mystery that surrendered her. I knew from the start that her mother and her clan were hiding something big. They were hiding it from everyone even River herself. What are they hiding? Who is that mysterious man who has just walked into River’s life?
The suspense of The Lycan's Queen kept me on the edge of my seat wanting more. The more I read the more I wanted to read. The Lycan's Queen pulled me into its world with this mysteriousness that surrounds it and River. I can’t give The Lycan's Queen the praise that it deserves as I don’t have the words to describe how much I love this world and the people in it.
Grab your copy of The Lycan's Queen the first book in a brand-new series and hang on for a thrilling ride!

★ “Belle's not going to let this go; I just know it.” ★
—>>> This is a review for Withered Rose (Twisted Tales) by D.E. Chapman in this anthology. The determination of Belle even though she was rejected by what she recognized as her mate, the willingness of Gaston to support Belle in her twisted quest (albeit, admittedly, not initially, obviously, because she already had HIM as her Alpha and fated pair, duh), and the Beast pushed past his limits by, well, just everything happening lately on his turf. I cannot wait to read what happens next in this most wicked version of this Belle & the Beast tale!
Please take note of the author’s statement: “Warning: This monster romance is intended for mature audiences with its foul language, sexual scenes, and graphic violence. There are MM scenes in this book and depictions of dark scenes that may not be suitable for everyone. This twisted fairytale Beauty and the Beast retelling isn’t for the faint of heart. Be advised this is a reverse harem where the main character ends up with more than one mate at the end of this story. The completed extended edition of this twisted tale will be released in 2024. That means this story ends with a cliffhanger.“

The review I never thought I'd write
Before I accepted this ARC, I read the author's warnings. I'm not a big fan of the Omegaverse, and non-con/dub-con sex is not my jam. And I HATE cliffhangers with a purple and green passion. The rest of the blurb sounded good, though. Dark romance, yeah. Menage, including MM - I'm down with it. Shifters, beasts, witchcraft - it's all good. But the other stuff? Ordinarily a hard pass. But author D E Chapman issued a challenge I took personally, and so I read Withered Rose. And I'm giving it 5 stars!. Because this story makes sense, in the context of its setting. The characters' actions make sense, because of where, and what, they are. because the emotions are REAL, the conflicts are honest, the sacrifices are purposeful...
...And that $%^% cliffhanger? It's a non-issue. There's more to come, yes, but the author ends this book exactly where and how it makes perfect sense to end it. Challenge accepted. Withered Rose wins.

I absolutely loved this book and was so sad it ended and now I can’t wait for more!
This was definitely a little out of my comfort zone but I don’t regret it one bit but will say it’s not for the weak 😂 it’s naughty , dark, and some would say sick but I’m not ashamed to say I loved every second of it.
I love that even though this plays off of beauty and the beast ( my favorite movie) the book is so different which gives me the ability to kinda disassociate between the two so it doesn’t completely ruin my love for the movie with dirty beast thoughts.
Would recommend this to anyone who loves to ready extremely naughty twisted kinda feels illegal books or anyone who just wants to see what’s on the dark side.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Reveiw for DE Chapman's Withered Rose
I want more!!!!
This is a cliffhanger!! Belle and Gaston, yes Belle and Gaston are mated. Belle is a determined omega and Gaston has her back no matter what foolish idea she comes up with. The Beast is a beast and he likes it. There are beastly servants and bad magic involved in this omegaverse romance. I loved it but it ends in a cliffhanger and I want more. You will love this book. There is a small bit of blood and gore as the Beast hunts for those that are his.

My review for The Lycan’s Queen.
From the start I was hooked. River is so much more than she seems and boy can she kick butt. She may be small but she is a surprise to everyone. Her mom though is scary. She may love her daughter but definitely is one female not to cross. And that was just the beginning of the story. There are plenty of surprises throughout the book. And they don’t stop. Add in a hot beyond alpha male and things start to get tense. This is the first book so there is so much more waiting for us in the next one.

I am leaving review for The Lycans´Queen from Rebekah R. Ganiere
River is omega. She learned it the hard way, when si was attacked by Rouge lycan. She rejected him, but since then she lived in hidding. When she went to meet her sister fated mate, she also met her otherhalf. But she is scarred, because he is Lycan, and they are dangerous and ruthles... Can Ares show her, that not every story about monsters is real? Can they find they happilly ever after?

Great collection of paranormal reads with plenty of action, drama and suspense. Great characters and excellent world building, the stories are fast-paced and entertaining. I liked it.
