Challenge Corner discussion

Have you ever heard of the old Celtic legends of the Fae—beautiful, magical, and deadly creatures that have a love of messing with humans just for kicks and giggles?

Welcome to my world.

What started out as a strange assignment, led to one of the most gruesome murder mysteries of our times. My friends and I are set and determined to find out who is killing off Fae and Witches alike.

Couple of problems in the way – I hate the Fae and the Prince of the Dark Fae is bound and determined that I work for him. He’s a rude, overbearing egotistical ass with a compulsive need to possess, dominate and control me. Oh—did I mention that he is absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous and he makes me feel things that I never ever wanted to feel for a Fae... every time he touches me or looks at me with those dangerous golden eyes he seems to pull me further in under his spell, despite my better judgment.

My friends and I can’t trust anyone and nothing is as it seems on the surface—not even me.

This series is a read of ALL books that are set in the universe of the Fae Chronicles. Here is the reading order:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Fighting Destiny
24%(view spoiler)[I hardly remember anything from this book. Man it’s been so long. But I am absolutely devouring this so far. I’m happy I don’t remember anything. It’s like reading this for the first time again. It’s been like four years or some shit. (hide spoiler)]
47%(view spoiler)[THE SEXUAL TENSION MAN. I am so here for it. Also, there’s no way Syn is just a normal old witch right? She’s gotta be something crazy. (hide spoiler)]
71%(view spoiler)[dying over here. 🤤🤤🤤 (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[oh shiz buckets. I am remembering how much I loved this series! Why did I wait so long to jump back in?! (hide spoiler)]

Taunting Destiny
23%(view spoiler)[HOLY FUCK FEST BATMAN. That was so hot. My gosh that chapter was so fucking long and it was nothing but sex! Lol.

I’m so happy she’s changing! She’s going to understand Faery and Earth. 😱😱 (hide spoiler)]
48%(view spoiler)[shit on a shingle. Her goddamn house was blown up. This is all wild! I’m starting to remember bits and pieces. I can’t wait for all to be revealed! (hide spoiler)]
73%(view spoiler)[oh shizzzzz. It’s about to go down. Syn is a fucking badass. But I can’t remember if she ends up needing help? I hope not. Because she deserves to kill all these fuckers by herself! (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[😱😱😱 oh. My. Gosh. STUFF IS JUST COMING BACK TO ME! And now she’s on her way to the Horde King. What in the world! SHIT IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN! She’s gotta kill him right?! 🤔🤔🤣😂 (hide spoiler)]

Escaping Destiny
23%(view spoiler)[Man. So much has happened! And only a quarter of the book is done. I’m happy she finally knows she’s preggers. Maybe she’ll stop being crazy. Lol. Also, Claire is a cunt. And Ryder better get his shit together before Syn makes a run for it. (hide spoiler)]
50%(view spoiler)[forgot to write a note here. Lol. (hide spoiler)]
80%(view spoiler)[Well shiiiiit. He better figure that contract out ASAP! I can just see Synthia being the badass she is getting away somehow. I remember what happens a little. But not at this exact moment. So it’s all a mystery to me. (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[wow this was so good! We learned so much more! I seriously love this series and can’t believe I waited so long to read again. (hide spoiler)]

Seducing Destiny
26%(view spoiler)[holy fuck balls! Did not remember this! I can’t believe she actually died! I totally forgot! And she had triplets! Waaaaah! I remembered she had a daughter. But honestly didn’t remember she had two boys. (hide spoiler)]
57%(view spoiler)[forgot to make a note at the 50% mark. Lol. Whoops! But anywho! They better go get Ristan! 😱😱 (hide spoiler)]
75%(view spoiler)[how am I supposed to go and read two other books before I get another of this series?! And then after that one I have to read SEVEN GODDAMN BOOKS before the last of this series. Jeeze. What the hell did I get myself in to?!
At least I know that the next book is about Ristan and Olivia. At least I hope it is. Because this shit is wild. 😱 (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[Well shit on a shingle. I'm so happy that this didn't end on a cliffhanger. I'll have an easier time reading the other books I think. But man this one was SO GOOD! Syn is such a freaking badass. And dude! The smut is so on point! (hide spoiler)]

Starting book 1 now!

Alaina wrote: "Starting book 1 now!"

AND?!?!?!?!?!

Demons dark embrace
28%(view spoiler)[totally skipped the first part of this entire book. It was all stuff that happened before. So I wasn’t really into reading it again. But it looks like the start of the next chapter is when Ristan is tortured. Poor baby (hide spoiler)]
50%(view spoiler)[Forgot to write notes here. Lol. (hide spoiler)]
77%(view spoiler)[I find myself skimming this book a lot. Which is super bummy because I seriously adore Ristan. According to my review from before I hated the way this was written. And that my friend is still the case. It’s annoying. (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[I am sticking with my original review and saying that I didn't like this as much as I liked the Fae Chronicles so far. This 3rd person POV but still knowing whose POV it is and then it switching POVs like every other chapter is annoying. (hide spoiler)]

On to Playing with Monsters. I'm not super hyped about this because I'm not really into finding out about this character. But I hope my mind gets changed.

Felicia wrote: "Alaina wrote: "Starting book 1 now!"

AND?!?!?!?!?!"

Ha ha. I'll add comments today!

Ch 1 - 4: (view spoiler)[Ooo I like this so far. I love the sass and bantering. Oh, and I would totally be pissed after finding out it was a god damn test too. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 5 - 9: (view spoiler)[Y'all got jokes.. you two are TOTALLY going to sleep together and I approve this message. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 10 - 15: (view spoiler)[The amount of sass is amazing. I can smell the sexual tension between them. I'm sure she's half fae and I can't wait for them to hook up. It needs to happen soon because they are driving me crazy. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 16 - 20: (view spoiler)[Wait, what he's a vampire bitch now? Wow, she has the right to be pissed and he doesn't have the right to call her baby. It made me cringe. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21 - 22: (view spoiler)[

Hello sexual tension. I would like more. Thank you. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 23 - 28: (view spoiler)[HECK YES LEGOOO! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 29 - 33: (view spoiler)[Who is controlling her? Is it Ryder? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 34 - Finish: (view spoiler)[Uh what the fuck was that? What kind of ending was that? WHAT HORSE SHIT??!?! Was that Ryder? UGH! (hide spoiler)]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 34 - Finish: [spoilers removed]"

I don't remember the ending. Lmfao. But your comments are just killing me. Bahhahaha.

Felicia wrote: "Alaina wrote: "Ch 34 - Finish: [spoilers removed]"

Lol thanks. I'm hoping to dive into book 2 today!

Dooooo it! I am just meh about this Playing With Monsters one. Ugh.

Aww!

Yeah, it didn't do it for me. Waah, that sucks. But it was still okay.

Playing With Monsters
24%(view spoiler)[THE SEXUAL TENSION IS LITERALLY KILLING ME. IAM GOING TO DIE A TERRIBLE DEATH AT MY WORK DESK. WTF. (hide spoiler)]
47%(view spoiler)[okay. I’m about half way through and I’m fucking bored. The sexual tension isn’t doing it for me anymore. I want stuff to happen. The Awakening is taking forever to happen. Lucian is taking forever to do something about “having to kill the girl” and it’s all just boring to me. I need this to pick up.

And the fact that Lena is just okay with all the shit going on with her? Okay maybe not okay with it. But like seriously?! Her sister is fucking the guy who cheated on her. He was her fiancé and her sister is just boning him. Like that’s okay?! And no one gives a shit about her dad?! Like what is this shit? (hide spoiler)]
62%(view spoiler)[okay! This is getting a little better. And damn. I wasn’t prepared for the rape. Yeesh. I totally skipped the trigger warning at the beginning. Regretting that now. 😩 (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[Man, I'm interested in what happens because that was definitely a hell of an ending. But I find myself just not interested enough. But back to the actual Fae Chronicles next and I'm super stoked. (hide spoiler)]

OKAY TWIN IMA CATCH UP TO YOU. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

Alaina wrote: "OKAY TWIN IMA CATCH UP TO YOU. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER."

Lmfao, you might! I've started listening to Illuminae Files again. So, maybe. Lol.

Ch 1 - 6: (view spoiler)[Uh oh - what just happened and I hope she's okay. Maybe she used to much too quickly? Not sure. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 7 - 9: (view spoiler)[Oh god - a horny cookie monster reference? I'm dying right now. Also I want a cookie.. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 10 - 15: (view spoiler)[OH SHIT! He turned her little boyfriend into a vampire?!?! Well well... that is an interesting twist. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 16 - 19: (view spoiler)[I'm betting home girl is pregnant.. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 20 - 26: (view spoiler)[I mean.. she has a point. I also don't agree with the whole marrying Adam thing either. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 27 - 31: (view spoiler)[Sorry but I'm not digging this "relationship" with Adam. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 32 - 36: (view spoiler)[How do you go from hot ass sex to being awkward with Adam?!?! Fuckity fuck. I hate this. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 37 - Finish: (view spoiler)[Oh fuckity fuck. I'm maybe hoping that Ryder is him in disguise?!?! Maybe? I don't know. If not, she will have to kill him. (hide spoiler)]

23%: (view spoiler)[Yay! It's official! She's pregnant! I knew it! I'm so happy right now but I have a feeling some drama is coming my way.. because it always does. (hide spoiler)]

50%: (view spoiler)[My love for Ryder keeps growing - any chance I can take/claim him? Please? (hide spoiler)]

80%: (view spoiler)[Well, shit. This makes a smidge awkward. I'm wondering what the hell is going go happen next - please take it easy on me guys! (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Wow. I wasn't expecting so much to be revealed - ya know? I feel like I'm on top of the world (kind of). Definitely intrigued about the next book because I have no idea how it will top this one. (hide spoiler)]

This is what I get for not checking notifications when I log on. I had no idea you were still reading these. Lol.

Sleeping with monsters
27%(view spoiler)[Hmm. I’m not sure how I’m liking her not knowing who she is. It’s kind of annoying. But it’s been hot so far. 🤷‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]
54%(view spoiler)[THERE SHE IS! I was getting tired of her being her sister. 😩 But shit. Poor Kendra. Being tortured and raped my the devil and his minions. (hide spoiler)]
76%(view spoiler)[well. What the shit. I want to know what he is! Lmao. I’m glad Benjamin is back though. I forgot all about him. Whoops. Also. Lucy is fucking crazy. Yeesh. And I think Kendra has switched sides. I think she’s on Team Lucy. (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[okay. I’m super confused. I mean I guess I get that she didn’t have a soul so she’s not real so she can’t die? I guess that makes some sense. But wtf. Lol. (hide spoiler)]

😂😂 I’m just finally catching up on series reads that started in April and March.

Hopefully I can get all caught up to where you are over the weekend. I’m also hoping to finish the king series. Then I will dive into flock.

I hope you like Flock more than I did. I mean it was good. But also, just meh at the same time.

I can't wait... lol

Dragon King
26%(view spoiler)[Okay. Now that we’re to where this happened in the other book I’m hoping it get better. Because that beginning but was a bit much. It took like 20% just to get to the camp. Bleck. Please book. Get better for me. 😩 (hide spoiler)]
50%(view spoiler)[my gosh. I am so torn. I want to like Blane. Because he is sometimes sweet. But he just is so set in his ways. And Fyra is a fucking Cunt. With a capital c. Fucking bitch. Ciara should just end her ignorant ass.

Also. There’s no way this wedding is for her and Blane right? I mean he’s still fucking tying her to a pole and being a dick. I wish she’d fucking fight him more. But no. Her mind goes all gooey and she just fucks him and then gets mad again. Like bitch. Just don’t fuck him you stupid ass. (hide spoiler)]
81%(view spoiler)[oh. So we’re gonna get an I love you at the end of this damn book. Blame is still refusing to acknowledge his feelings. 🙄 and where’d the climax of the story?! (hide spoiler)]
100%(view spoiler)[okay. So that ended differently than I had anticipated. I mean. I knew Kerrigan was a bad guy. He had to be. But I was not expecting Blane to have already figured out his motives. And Ciara almost died. Yeesh. On to the next! (hide spoiler)]

Oh Holy Knight
23%(view spoiler)[hmm. I thought I had no idea who Callaghan was. But I remembered as soon as the story started. But meh. I don’t really care about this book. Just reading it because it’s got information on the rest of the goings on. (hide spoiler)]
51%(view spoiler)[bahahaha. She’s a badass. 🤣😂 (hide spoiler)]
72%(view spoiler)[poor girl. I hope he doesn’t actually use that against her to get have to have sex with him. (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[well that was interesting. I’m now into the next book of theirs. I’m actually happy this novella gave us a glimpse at these two. Because I wasn’t excited to read an entire book about them without knowing them. (hide spoiler)]

25%: (view spoiler)[What the heck is going on here? I'm on the edge of my seat right now. (hide spoiler)]

50%: (view spoiler)[Still loving this! Everything is flying by for me right now. (hide spoiler)]

75%: (view spoiler)[

This is me the entire book. What the fuck. (hide spoiler)]

100%: (view spoiler)[Is this book dipped in cocaine? So freaking addictive - I couldn't put it down! I seriously need the next book STAT! (hide spoiler)]

becoming his monster
22%(view spoiler)[well shit. That was a rather entertaining start to the story. Poor Lena. She just has been dealt bad hands one after another. (hide spoiler)]
49%(view spoiler)[well that was sexy. But I also feel like even with everything that’s been revealed so far that this book hasn’t really had anything happen? Am I crazy. Also. I love Spyder. Lol. And I hope with all hope that they actually have a threesome. 🤤🤤🤤 (hide spoiler)]
73%(view spoiler)[noooooo! Not Vlad! He’s so sweet! Even if he is the king of vamps. Omg. Also. This is getting really weird. 🤷‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]
Finished(view spoiler)[WELL! If that wasn't a fucking cliff hanger! WTF! I want to know what Lucian is! WTFFFFFFFF. Also, this was kinda a weird way that the story line went. But I'm okay with it. (hide spoiler)]

OHHHHH! You're on to Ristan's book now! Honestly I skimmed the like first 25% of the book because it starts kinda where we already were with Syn's books. But it's obviously now in his POV. Still meh.
