Emoji Review by Rebecca Dixon
I JUST finished ‘Pretty Dark Vows’ by Callie Rose and it was FREAKIN’ FANTASTIC 🤯! (FYI, I’m not affiliated with the author and there are NO spoilers! 🙌🏻)
You guyyyyysss… this was AMAZING 🤩!!!! And it’s not widely known (less than 250 ratings on Amazon at the moment!) But it is so, so, so GOOD! Like… so GOOD! 👏🏻🙌🏻
If you like Den of Vipers 🔥, by K.A. Knight… this is TOTALLY for you! If you like Demons and Debts by Kyra Alessy (another lesser known, fantastic series!)… this is ALSO totally for you 🙌🏻! This is a great cross between these two FABULOUS 💋 series and at the same time, is unique and really stands out as something special on its own ❤️🔥!
OK ✅! So this starts off with a FMC who is a stripper 🪩 👙📿 and is absolutely A-OK 👌🏻 with her profession. She’s sassy 💋, STRONG 💪🏻, and FIERCLY protective 👊🏻(and providing for 💰) her little sister 👩🏼. This is world FULL of GANGS 🔫 and she is working & living in Reapers ☠️ territory, just doing her best to scrape by! But it doesn’t take long for her life to get INTERTWINED 🪢 with the GANGS, despite her best efforts, and she is forced to approach THREE of the roughest, baddest, and HOTTEST 🥵 of gangsters for help! Except… what will they ask her to do 😮? What is she willing to do 😲? For their help?? 🔥🔥🔥
So this is an enemies-to-lovers 🥷✌🏻💘 contemporary romance Why Choose, centered around crime & gangs 🔫. It’s a seedier, steamy 🔥world… and I am HERE FOR IT 👏🏻👏🏻!
I was HOOKED from the very first paragraph! Riley is BOLD, FIERCE 💪🏻, and tells it like it is! She is not only smart, but street smart 🧠! It was refreshing to see her actually THINK 🤔 and SPEAK 🗣️ the things that I myself would have been THINKING and SPEAKING, if I were in her shoes! And she stays that way… the WHOLE BOOK 🥳🥳! FIERCE 🤜🏻 until the VERY end and I LOVE IT 👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻!!!
And the guys!! HOT 🥵 🥵🥵! DANGEROUS ⚠️! And UNIQUE 🙌🏻! I LOOOOOVE a Why Choose where the guys all stand a part form one another! I loved each of them in their own way… especially Logan, who reminded me of “D” in Den of Vipers ❤️🔥! I think he was my favorite, although I really loved Dante’s swagger 😉 and Maddocs authority 👊🏻!
And the STEAM 🔥! Is HOT 🥵 HOT 🥵 HOT 🥵! It’s actually JUST the RIGHT 👌🏻 amount! We can tell early on this author knows how to WRITE SPICE 🌶️🌶️! But it doesn’t dominate the book! The non-romantic plotline takes a big role… all the way to the very end!
Ohhhhhhh…. and THAT ending 😱😱!! Mother of all CLIFFHANGERS 🪨 & TWISTS 🌪️ !! I recommended this to my book bestie and she stayed up ALL night 🌙 reading it in one sitting… and she sent me msg after msg where she was going nuts over the book! I woke up 🥱 to alllll kinds of excited msgs 😂🤣😂!! Especially over that cliffy 🤯!! We were both SUFFERING because Book 2 wasn’t out yet 😭😭! But ✋🏻! Good news 🥳!! Book 2 JUST came out 🙌🏻! And speaking of… I’m off to read it now! 👊🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
So if you love an enemies-to-lovers 🥷✌🏻💘 with Den of Vipers vibes, FANTASTIC SPICE 🌶️ (but not as much as DOV,) a FREAKIN’ AMAZING cliffy with a big a$s TWIST 🌪️, a FIERCE 👊🏻 FMC that is proud, realistic, and smart 🧠, and ROUGH 🔫 guys that will make you SWOON 😍 and want to know MORE… give this a shot! It’s free on KU and you never know, it may be the Pretty Dark Vow that will SHOCK 😱 you too!
