REVIEW: You Can Make Me by RL Merrill (Carnival of Mysteries #28)

  YOU CAN MAKE ME Carnival of Mysteries - Book Twenty-Eight by RL Merrill Release Date: September 13, 2025 Review A fascinating read. My first in this shared world, and though i would have benefited from having read earlier works, I was able to keep up just fine. It was a unique premise that was a big mind-bending. It’s a bit of a bleak and dark start, but along the way, hope is found, and this couple finds the second chance they deserve, all while finally putting an end to the killer who has been terrorizing so many. There are some wild magical, mystical aspects to this story. It was imaginative and detailed. The characters were really interesting and beautiful, and I loved the friends and family that surrounded them.

That prediction came true when he ignored instructions fr...

  THE POSTER BOY Love the Game - Book Three by EM Denning Release Date: September 16, 2025 Review EM scored with her first-ever hockey romance! When Marek is outed, he makes the most of it by becoming the media favourite. Embracing his sexuality publicly and hoping he’s giving hope to some kid out there. But not everyone appreciates his patience with the media. Especially his closeted teammate Jay, who is beyond annoyed by Marek before they even meet. Marek is a sweetheart who wants to be liked, so Jay’s ire is difficult for him to deal with. But I love that he’s not a pushover to him either. What starts as butting heads becomes delicious hookups and turns to sweet understanding and acceptance.  So much fun! Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis One goal to make a career. One kiss to derail a life. Marek Myers is an up-and-coming goalie, but he's also not out. At least, he wasn’t. Because one kiss with the wrong man slams Marek out of the closet and into the spotlight. ...

  READING BETWEEN THE LINES Shadowy Solutions - Book Three by Nicky James Release Date: March 6, 2025 Audio Release Date: March 24, 2025 Review Diem’s world contains a lot of darkness. He has to fight to make it through each day. But now he has Tallus, you batters him with happiness, love, and affection. I’m not going to lie, Tallus annoys me.  If I met him in real life, I would leave the room.  A bit childish and purposefully naive. But I can see why he works for Diem. Diem gets stuck in his own head, and Tallus prods him out of it. This time, they’ve got themselves mixed up in a twisted case in the small town of Port Hope. The suspects are numerous. The town drunk, a dark book club involving some teenagers, and a teacher who is a little too unconcerned with the questionable behaviour of his students. Along with some unhelpful small-town police. Through twists and turns, Tallus and Diem make strides in both the case and their relationship. It’s a gripping story, and real...
