Anger Bang by Avery Flynn Purchase on: Amazon, iBooks
Add to: Goodreads
Synopsis:
Sometimes the only answer is to just bang it out.
Like today, for example. I’m in actual hell at my sister’s over-the-top reality TV wedding and up until now, I’ve been able to handle it all. The horrible bridesmaids. My relentless mother. Even the awful eighties fashion to fit the retro theme. But when my sister nonchalantly mentioned that she never even wanted me at the wedding—the producers insisted—ouch doesn’t fully express how much it hurts.
So for the first time I don’t think. I just do. And as a shy paleontologist who plans everything, I probably should have taken a moment.
But here we are.I’ve just asked the best man, who my sister absolutely loathes and who can’t stand her right back, if he’s up for a little naked revenge with me. The cameras are filming every horrifying second, and the whispers have begun. (Did I mention that the music happened to stop just as I asked him?)
But then his mouth quirks up, and he does the last thing I expect.
Review:
Anger Bang was an adult romcom that was so much fun! With moments that made me laugh out loud and others that had me gasping or smiling so huge, I adored this book. The narrator made this story play out like I was watching a movie! The characters were easy to click with, the storyline was a blast, there were deeper moments I adored, and the steamy scenes were so hot! I loved the dirty talk! Plus, it ended with an epilogue that looked 3 years into the future! If you’re looking for a spicy adult contemporary romance to listen to, definitely add this one to your tbr!

Synopsis:
A king by day. Shadow by night…
The Great Betrayal changed everything for the Allied Realm. Long ago, the kingdom’s noble houses rose up against the goddess... and for their treachery, the firstborn of each noble family was cursed.
One with perilous beauty.
One with destructive knowledge.
One with insatiable bloodlust.But the royal house Mortara received the worst affliction of all. For while the king exists during the day, he fades into nothingness at night...until his twenty-first birthday, when he will be lost to the shadows forever.
Now an acolyte has arrived at court. Like all the second-born children of the Allied Realm, she’s destined to serve the goddess and become a Seer...only Cerise Solon has no gift of foretelling. In fact, she has no magical gift at all.
Instead, she’s surrounded by courtiers and priests―smiling sycophants whose hearts are filled with secrets and lies. And at the center of it all sits His Majesty Kian Hannibal Mortara, with his haunting eyes, sharp tongue, and an unerring ability to send her pulse skittering at the worst possible moments.
Falling for him is unthinkable. Because the king is the last of his line, and as the specter of his twenty-first birthday―and the full force of his curse―approaches, the kingdom holds its breath.
But there’s only one way to save a dying king... and it lies with the one person who’s hiding the biggest secret of all. Cerise.
Review:
The Half King was a new adult romantasy set in a fascinating world. With a shadow daddy, a fierce heroine, and lots of adventure, this book was so easy to devour. Each of the characters stood out, and I was interested in learning how their world worked. And trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together. There was a twist I didn’t see coming that played so interesting into the story. Especially with what we learned in the epilogue! But unfortunately, I was never able to connect to any of the characters. And that greatly affects my enjoyment of a book. So, if you adore romantasy with some spice, here’s hoping you end up loving this book more than me!
