Amanda Aggie - This Wicked Fate (1)

This Wicked Fate (Realm of Monsters #1)

Publication Date: May 31, 2023

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance

🔥Arranged Marriage
🔥Mad King
🔥Monstrous FMC
🔥Inspired by Brave
🔥Touch Him and Die
🔥Can’t Sleep without You
🔥Who Did this to You?

For fans of The Witcher and Brave, this fantasy romance, featuring a fierce heroine and a druid with Golden Retriever energy, is both steamy and swoon worthy!

I’m the Princess of Solaria, a realm full of beasts that could make the Devil cower. Except that title means nothing, because I’ll be dead by the week’s end.

Like my sisters before me, the moment I turned twenty-three, my father announced a gauntlet. A fight to the death, where the most ruthless of the land could try to claim me as their bride.

Desperate, I entered the gauntlet and fought for my own hand. Only the mad king is a twisted monster who loves to play tricks, and now instead of wearing a crown, I’m a prisoner, set to be executed for defying the king’s tradition.

I start to fear that things can’t get any worse, but I’m quickly proven wrong when I’m shoved into a cage with a man I’ve never met before. Who knows why he’s in chains… but if he can lend me a hand, we might have a chance to escape this wicked fate.

Trigger Warnings: Gore, steamy scenes intended for those 18+ years of age, monsters, animalistic behavior, blood, murder, dismemberment, and violence.

REVIEW

Amanda Aggie has written a stellar fantasy, with an incredible storyline.

A rip roaring Fantasy, with a fast paced plot. Vivid imagery and detailed world building made for a enjoyable reading experience. The characters are some of the best I have read so far. I have to say Eva one of my favorite FMC of this year. Strong and likable, I really enjoyed her relationship with her inner Beast.

touch HIM and die ⁣

swoon-worthy and squishy love interest⁣

a dark and dangerous world ⁣

mild spice⁣

fight to the death games⁣

beast/shifter romance⁣

About the Author

275130719_420441066497468_6981442446862619359_n (1)

Best known for her #1 Amazon bestselling series, Dark Halos, Amanda Aggie writes steamy dark fantasy romance. She’s a wife, a mother to two beautiful tiny humans, and has a stellar caffeine addiction. More importantly, she writes choking-hazard fantasy romance that will have you laughing out loud, swooning, and biting your nails all in one sitting.

Almost all of her books take place in the seven realms of Hell, which she’s often described as, “If Hell and Wonderland got together and had a baby.” You’ll find creatures of all kinds—fae, demons, dragons, witches, and more—along with morally gray villains, and steam. So, grab you some pearls to clutch before you enter the seven realms, and get lost in the chaos.

Alchemy of Moonlight, By David Ferraro

Hello Lovelies

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for

The Alchemy of Moonlight by David Ferraro. This tour is being hosted by TBR and Beyond Tours.


Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Publishing date: May 30th, 2023

When Emile’s aunt declares he must marry or be disowned for being gay—he runs away to hide as a servant in Count Montoni’s mansion. In their service, Emile tends to the family who all suffer a strange affliction on the full moon. And after overhearing suspicious family arguments, he finds a body on the estate, drawing the attention of a handsome doctor as well as the count’s charismatic nephew, Henri.

Before Emile can sort out his affections or unravel the growing Montoni family mystery, his identity is revealed and his aunt comes to collect him.

When she arrives, Count Montoni forces everyone to depart to the remote Udolpho Castle—where there are no witnesses and no chance for escape. There, Emile realizes that he will have to risk his life to find the love he deserves—and survive the Montoni family.

Content Warning: Mentions of dead bodies, homophobia

REVIEW

Alchemy of Moonlight, By David Ferraro is fun queer spin on 18th-century Ann Radcliffe’s book, The Mysteries of Udolph.

A suspenseful gothic paranormal romance. We follow Emile St. Aubert, who’s father has passed away and his aunt is insistent that he change his romantic preferences and marry a nice girl and settle down. Taking his future into his own hands he goes undercover and joins the working class as a servant at Chateau le Blanc,a crumbling castle, for the affluent Montoni household. There Emile will find a handsome doctor, a not so trustworthy count, along with strange happenings and macabre murders. Dark family secrets and yes please we have…. Werewolves ! 🐺

This was such a fun read, I loved the characters and love triangle and rival suitors along with the decadent gothic setting.

The perfect book to start the month of June off🤎


David Ferraro grew up in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, where he was raised on a steady diet of comic books, horror movies and YA novels. He graduated with a B.A. in English and creative writing from St. Cloud State University, and currently resides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with his boyfriend and a very spoiled tortoise. He is represented by Eva Scalzo of Speilburg Literary. His debut “The Alchemy of Moonlight” is set to be published from Page Street Kids in Spring 2023.
