Wicked Gods, an all-new Reverse Harem Paranormal Bully Romance by Michelle Hercules releases August 8th!

Since the beginning of times, there has always been two sides: Norms and Idols.

But never have the scales been so unbalanced as they are today.

I’m a Norm, which means, I grew up in fear of the Idols and their godly powers.

And now, I’m going to be surrounded by them, day and night. I’ve been offered a place at the prestigious Gifted Academy, an opportunity very few Norms get.

To survive, I must become invisible. But my hope to get through the academy unscathed goes down the drain when the most powerful boys in school set their eyes on me.

They hate me simply because I’m a Norm. If they knew who I truly am, they’d tear me apart limb by limb. But I’m done cowering away from Idols. It’s time for the Norms to fight back, and it all starts with me.

*Wicked Gods is a mature paranormal high school bully 'why choose' romance.

 
 
 
   

BREAKDOWN by Aly Zigada is a dark enemies-to-lovers age gap romance that readers are calling "captivating," "gritty," "phenomenal," and "a masterpiece." And it's now live—and free in Kindle Unlimited!

Blurb

An unforgettably searing and unapologetically honest romance about enemies, lovers, and the music that binds them.

Atticus Creed saved my life. His voice talked me down. His lyrics stripped me bare. His tattoos against my hidden scars made me feel beautiful. In turn, I wrecked him with a love that exposed his soul and lies that called to his vilest demons.

We were innocent then.

I’m not a broken girl anymore. Now I’m the woman who reigns over the corrupt record label he abandoned, and he’s a tortured musician who wants retribution as viciously as I want another taste of his lips. Inevitably, he will crash in my arms, and I will burn in his.

Depravity is all we know. It’s in the air we breathe, it’s in our sweat, it’s the music we make.

Boys versus girls. Those who have it all versus those who’d do anything to get it.

Caught between two worlds, I no longer know who I am.

I was one of the Chosen. Four girls, and four boys, destined to have it all: wealth, status, and a future. Now, I find myself on the other side looking for a way back in.

My father’s criminal case meant we lost it all. Forced out of our home, our city, our life, we started anew in a sweet country town called Arcadia.

Except after one day as “the new girl” I know there isn’t a single sweet thing about Arcadia High. Trouble brews amongst the student body. Love, lies, and betrayal. And when the consequences spill out the decorative gates?

These spoilt country kids won’t know what hit them after the city come to collect.

Lacey is one of the Chosen. She's wealthy, privileged, admired, and part of the popular crowd. That is until her family's status takes a tumble after her father is arrested for unwittingly taking part in illegal activities. Their fortune is taken from them leaving them no choice but to move from their lavish apartment in the city to a modest residence in the country.

With her old friends shunning her and the kids at her new school bullying her, Lacey feels all alone in the world. Even the brother she loves so dearly has quickly become a stranger. Her mother and father are miserable, and in just a couple of months, another shocking revelation turns her life upside down once more.

Good Girls by Max Henry is a new adult, bully romance filled with secrets, lies, and betrayal. The hero, Tuck, is a cowboy, and Lacey is a spoiled, shallow, little rich girl. Those are not the type of characters I usually look for in a book, but surprisingly, I enjoyed it all the same. Tuck is one hot cowboy, and in Lacey's case, there is a lot of character development throughout the story that turned her from a character that repulsed me to one I could root for and sympathize with.

On top of the fact that the characters are so different from what I generally prefer, I had never read anything from this author before.
Would I like her writing style? What about the romance? Would the plot keep me interested? Bully romance is my shit though, so I decided to give it a try despite my concerns.

Am I glad I did? Yes! Was it what I expected? No, but that wasn't a bad thing! It's somewhat different from the other books I've read in this particular niche, and that is something that's becoming harder to find with this subgenre's recent rise in popularity.

I enjoyed the author's writing style.The plot kept me intrigued, and the budding romance left me wanting more. That being said, the first half of the book didn't necessarily feel like a romance novel to me. It felt kind of like a family drama with a female main character. I'm not bothered by it at this point, because I know that there are going to be several books in the series. I also happen to like family dramas, so I'm content with watching as the overall story slowly unfolds.

I want to see more about her family after everything that transpired in this installment. I REALLY need to know more about the Chosen! What's going on with those assholes? How was the group formed? What does being Chosen mean? What's up with Christian, Libby, and Richard? The author leaves us with so many questions that it guarantees you'll be coming back for book 2 if you enjoyed this one. 

I recommend Good Girls to fans of bully romance with flawed characters that don't mind a slowburn. 

 
 
 

I knew the kind of guy Rhett was. I knew serious wasn’t his thing. I knew using the word love usually sent him running for the hills. I knew it, and I did it anyway. But he wasn’t that guy with me. He and I were different. I know he loved me. I’ve loved that man since I was fifteen years old. How could I not? Forget the abs, the tan skin, those pale, sexy blue eyes. Forget the fact that his voice sends shivers down my spine. The first time we kissed, I felt my whole world shatter and fall into place at the same time. I tried to pretend to be “that” girl. The kind that can kiss a guy just for fun, screw a man and not imagine a life with him. I tried. I failed. The hopeless romantic in me wasn’t having it. My heart should’ve known better — but my heart was no match for Rhett Bennett. When Rhett and I fell apart, I broke up with social media. I have to say, that breakup was a lot easier. No hashtags, no emojis, no memes to post. Some people use social media as their therapist. I’ve seen people post play-by-plays of their divorce, or explain every detail of their latest illness or drama. I probably could’ve attracted a lot more followers if I chronicled the demise of our relationship. It’s the stuff of soap operas. But instead, I broke it off with Facebook, banned Instagram, and boycotted Twitter. Today, Facebook and I are having one last romp. Relationship status update: Single. That’s it. That one little change. I have to start somewhere. Skye’s right about that. The one part of being single I have embraced is the diet. The single woman diet consists of basically any breakfast food for dinner, coffee, and alcohol. I’ve gotten so good at it, I no longer need a grocery cart when I shop. Quick tip, don’t get a cart at the grocery store, only buy what you can hold. It’s good for the budget and the waistline. Unfortunately, that rule doesn’t work so well at clothing stores.
