I absolutely ADORED this book! From beginning to end, I was hooked on the plot, the drama, -and the angst between these characters! Before I knew it, was finished and I just sat there staring at my book hoping for more to suddenly appear. I cannot wait for the next book!!
Hello Lovelies! I’m back with another Illumicrate unboxing today! This box was a bit late but it’s here now and I could not be more excited!
The Book:
In the Ravenous Dark Cover
Stencil Sprayed Edges
Art Print
Author Letter
Exclusive Endpaper Art by @lilith_saur
The book this month is absolutely STUNNING!!! First off, I could not be more in love with the book pick itself. A dark, polyamorous romance you say??? HELL TO THE YES!!! Add on the stenciled edges, exclusive endpapers, and one of the prettiest art prints I have ever seen and this has GOT to be one of my most favorite books I’ve ever gotten! I can’t wait to dive into this read!
The Items:
In the Ravenous Dark Bookmarks
The Beautiful Mason Jar Glass by @thatslovelydearshop
Dread Nation Sickle Key Ring by @palaceofresin
Gideon the Ninth Magnets by @_saintdri
Monthly Enamel Pin by @stacey.mcevoy.caunt
Nevernight Book Organizer by @rosdottir
Book of the Dead Book Pot by @chattynora
As far as the items go this month, I think Illumicrate did well for the most part. A majority of their budget had to have gone to the book pot, so with that in mind, the other items were better quality than I would have thought.
While gorgeous, the book pot isn’t my favorite they’ve ever done. I love the Egyptian mythology theme, but their Forgotten Fables and Folklore book pot is still my favorite.
My favorite item BY FAR is the Nevernight book organizer! I am not ashamed to say that I’ve already put it to good use, housing some of my books! My least favorite item has to be the key ring. It’s not awful, but it’s not my fandom and you run out of enthusiasm for them after a while!
Next Month’s Box (May):
I’m excited for next month’s (this month’s lol?) box. I love me some stenciled edges so I’m looking forward to those. I am also looking forward to the Addie LaRue and City of Brass items!
Overall, I did enjoy this month’s box. The Nevernight item made the box pretty much worth it items wise, but what really sold me was the book! It’s probably my favorite pick from Illumicrate so far this year, not gonna lie!
Hello Lovelies! As some of you may know, I am a personal assistant to the lovely Miranda/Morgan Bridges.

As this is a completely new start, we have some ARC team spots open for her first book, A Bride To Be Broken. If you are interested, please use the sign up form below!
“I wondered if this time, maybe he’d actually kill me.”
🔥 Have you pre-ordered your copy of Ignite Me yet?!🔥 Title: Ignite Me Series: Watch Me Burn Book: 4 Release Date: 10th March 2021
Blurb We’re going to be okay. We’re broken, but we’ll rebuild. If we can all get along, long enough to deal with this shit. Who decides to get involved with so many guys and thinks it’s going to be smooth sailing? Spoiler alert, it’s not. The guys are totally going to start killing each other soon. Lukas and Jensen can’t seem to figure their relationship out. Skeeter and Marco might kill each other one of these days. If it gets any worse, I might just kill them myself. With the Devils and Psychos working alongside each other, things are calmer. Well, other than the Psychos recruiting some newbies. Oh, and Satan’s Soldiers are back in town with a new leader, so that’s just wonderful. My guys keep showing me every day that this is real, and I’m so in love it’s gross. Family has become everything to me, but I wish they’d let me handle my own shit. It’s a shame there’s no hope at saving my sister from my revenge. She dug her own grave. I know I said red was my colour, but I’m getting pretty good at wearing orange. Don’t cross me, it’s goddamn simple.

stalk·er A person who stalks : a person who pursues someone obsessively. Stalkers is a taboo romance collection jam-packed with captivating stories.
I highly enjoyed this anthology. It gave me all of the dark, taboo romance feelings I was looking for and there were a wide variety of stories to enjoy. Obviously, I enjoyed some more than others but they were ultimately all really good. This anthology definitely got me interested in checking out some of these authors’ other works!
When the Light and the Dark Collide… Who will Maintain the Balance within the Veil
For hundreds of years, magic users have grown up with the misconception that their magic has no true origin; that they were simply gifted more than mere-mortals.
This control of the narrative has suited the Fae, for their existence has been hidden; their kingdoms beyond the Veil secure. There has been a tenuous balance within the realms and for thousands of years the Fae have been secure in their traditions…their rule.
That is, until the uprising of a dark queen; because as with all things bound by nature, with unbalance comes destruction.
Until the prophecy of change was whispered throughout the realms there was an ever present sense of desolation.
Now? There is hope.
********
Hudson Jacobs has no idea of the changes that are about to take her life by storm. No idea of the plans put into motion by those who know of her existence and wish to not only protect her, but solidify the prophecy by any means necessary.
The only question is, will her destiny ultimately protect her or destroy her and those she holds dear to her heart.
When the stakes are darkness or light, life or death, will Hudson embrace her new life or will the tenuous Veil between the mortal and Fae Realm, destroy her before she gets that chance? .

Her teen crush is now a ruthless killer and powerful mafia heir. Will one life-altering night unite or destroy them?
Bennett Mazzone grew up ignorant of the truth: he is the illegitimate son of the most powerful mafia boss in New York. Until it suited his father to drag him into a world where
power, wealth, violence, and cruelty are the only currency.
Celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Sin City should be fun for Sierra Lawson, but events take a deadly turn when she ends up in a private club, surrounded by dangerous
men who always get what they want. And they want her.
Ben can’t believe his ex’s little sister is all grown up, stunningly beautiful, and close to being devoured by some of the most ruthless men he has ever known. The Vegas trip is about strengthening ties, but he won’t allow his associates to ruin her perfection. Although it comes at a high price, saving Sierra is his only choice.
The memory of Ben’s hands on her body is seared into Sierra’s flesh for eternity. She doesn’t regret that night. Not even when she discovers the guy she was crushing on as a teenager is a cold, calculating killer with dark impulses and lethal enemies who want
him dead.
Understanding the risks, she walks away from the only man she will ever love, stowing her secrets securely in her heart. Until the truth becomes leverage and Sierra is drawn into a bloody war—a pawn in a vicious game she doesn’t want to play. As the web of deceit is finally revealed, Ben will stop at nothing to protect Sierra. Even if loving her makes him weak. In a world where women serve a sole purpose, and alliances mean the difference between life and death, can he fight for love and win?

Just as I was starting to lose my anger, it returns full force, slapping me in the face. “I don’t want your dirty money!” I hiss, prodding my finger in his chest. An amused grin spreads across his mouth, and I want to scream. “I run several successful legitimate businesses. I assure you my money is about as dirty as yours.” He has an answer for everything. It’s infuriating. “You truly have no shame,” I seethe. How dare he invade my privacy like this. He has no right. “Next, you’ll be telling me you know my bra size.” His eyes lower to my chest, and I scowl, wanting to wrap my arms around myself to deprive him of the view. But I won’t give him the satisfaction of letting him know how much he is getting to me either, so I don’t move a muscle. “You were definitely a B cup in Vegas, but I’m guessing you’re a C cup now.” He steps a little closer, and though my instinct is to fall back, I stand my ground, refusing to let this asshole intimidate me again. Bending down, he presses his warm mouth to my ear. “I would need to conduct a physical exam to make an accurate assessment.”
I push him away, glaring at him. “You’re a pig.” His lips pull up at the corners. “I don’t remember you complaining in Vegas. In fact, I distinctly remember you begging me to suck harder on your nipples as I plowed my cock into your greedy pussy.” “Get out!” I bark, pointing at the door. “Just go.” He winks, and I invoke every shred of willpower I possess not to lunge at him and gouge out his eyeballs. “Until tomorrow.” He gives me a curt nod before exiting my kitchen, and I slump back in my chair, relieved he is gone but a little disappointed too.
