Review: Unhinged

 


Title: Unhinged 

Series: Malus Family 

Author: Emily Goodwin 

Release Date: Jan 20 




She used to hunt monsters.

Now she's married to one.

 

Wren Malus never expected to fall in love with a seven-hundred-year-old vampire...especially the powerful, dangerous man she was forced to marry. But Xavier Malus has become her protector, her partner, and the one person she trusts more than anyone in the world.

 

As the city edges toward chaos and old enemies close in, Wren fights to keep vampires, werewolves, and humans from turning on each other, knowing the fragile peace depends on her.

 

But when a deadly secret threatens everything she loves, Wren must choose between the life she swore to leave behind and the man she can't bear to lose.


Goodreads | Amazon 



*Unhinged is book 2 in the Malus Family series & Twisted must be read first.


Unhinged picked up right where Twisted left off - right in the midst of a life or death situation which is part for the course when you are a demon hunter married into a vampire Mafia family. 

Wren used to hunt the monsters in the world, but always under the Order 's thumb. But after her unorthodox marriage to a powerful vampire she realizes she might actually be falling for him. He has become her protector and the one person she could trust in the world. 

But chaos throughout the city is closing in and it all leads back to Wren and the Order but she just can't figure out how. 

I am loving this series from Emily Goodwin. And loving both Wren and Xavier and even Devon, Theo, Zeke and Mabel. I love Wren and Xavier's dynamic & them getting to know each other. And I can't wait to see what happens next with the series and all the characters. If you are looking for a dark paranormal series, I definitely recommend the Malus family series! 

4.5⭐ out of 5⭐.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds.

After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties.

Review: Bad Little Bride

  Title: Bad Little Bride Series: Girls of Greyson Author: Meagan Brandy Release Date: January 7, 2025 Degradation of the Desperate Daughter. That could be the theme song to my life.  Always second choice. Second best. Second born. Maybe that’s what possessed me to track down my father’s most formidable enemy, the infamous Enzo Fikile. He’s the nation’s most eligible bachelor, and the crime world I was born into’s biggest threat, but not because he wants to tear it down. No. This man wants to claim his place within it and if the whispers working their way around are anything to go by, he’s well on his way. And I just offered him a golden ticket, one he accepted with an unexpected spark in his eye. We signed our marriage contract that night, and the deal with the devil was done. I’m engaged to the man the rest of the world fears and there’s no going back. I expect to be tossed in a tower and left there, but my future husband has other plans. Dangerous ones. He wants the world t...
