Hope you’ve had a good week!
So this post is meant to show what I’ve read etc but I have been so ill for over a week that I haven’t read anything!
I haven’t been as ill as I was for years and it hit me for six! I totally lost my voice for 7 days, it was so painful! Luckily it has started coming back so I can get by at work tomorrow!
So…nothing read so I thought I would show you a March book haul! It’s only small as I was on a no spend! A free ebook, a pre-order and an arc!

‘My fatal flaw is the desire to fix broken things that don’t want or care to be fixed. I’m drawn to them like vultures are to carcasses.’
BLURB
Dark. Deadly. Irresistible.
Cameron Mortem has a problem―he can’t stop killing his partners. Officially labeled clinically insane, he’s also one of the most lethal assets in the Dark Forces, a brutal underground military operation built on obedience, survival, and silence. But an experimental drug has fractured his control, making him a liability whenever someone else is on the field. As punishment, he’s thrown back into the Under Trials―a merciless boot camp designed to break the weak and sharpen the ruthless.
His one directive? Don’t kill the new girl.
Emery Maves narrowly escapes a death sentence after her own brutal crimes, only to find herself forced into the same violent world. Assigned to Cameron, she’s expected to survive the Trials and her partner’s unstable nature. But Emery quickly realizes there’s more to Cameron than bloodlust and body counts. Beneath the madness lies a terrifying allure―and a strange, dangerous tenderness.
As the Trials push them to their limits, Emery must navigate the brutal demands of the Dark Forces while resisting the pull of a man who could just as easily kill her as protect her. And Cameron must fight the one urge he’s never been able to overcome.
Their bond is intoxicating, chaotic, and born of violence. And if it doesn’t destroy them both, it might just save them.
I must admit I was a bit obsessed by this. Not quite sure what that says about me!
It was dark, savage, gory and a bit addictive!
Cameron Mortem is damaged, so damaged. He is a soldier on experimental drugs that make him basically half rabid animal! ‘He is what I imagine chaos looks like.’
Emery is thrown into a situation that she isn’t prepared for at all. Trials for the Dark Forces and a partner who has killed all his previous partners.
Brutal military unit Violent trials Explosive chemistry Really raunchy, spicy schexy times A fast paced story full of suspense Tortured main guy who is actually delish!
This book was relentless and that flippin ending nearly finished me off!
In the city of Dividium, the law is simple: commit a crime, and your punishment is a life sentence in Endlock.
Raven Thorne is Dividium’s most notorious bounty hunter, living on the edge of society. But when her younger brother, Jed, is sentenced to Endlock, Raven will do anything to save him—even if it means getting herself arrested.
Now trapped in a prison where danger lurks around every corner, Raven must use all her cunning and strength to protect Jed—and herself if she is to complete her perilous mission. But there’s one obstacle she never expected: the prison guard who stirs something deep inside her. The man she should hate. The man whose true motives seem impossible to pin down.
In a world where trust is a weapon and love is a liability, Raven must decide if she will risk everything to tear down a vicious system.
Bounty hunter, Raven, sets up a crime to get into Endlock Prison to try and save her brother, Jed.
Before she commits her crime, she has a chance encounter with someone who she had instant attraction with, Vale. And guess who’s also in the prison…….
I really enjoyed this book, I listened to it in a day so you know that’s the mark of a great read!
~ The rich prosper, the poor suffer ~ Absolutely vile hunts ~ Dystopian type read ~ Fight for survival ~ Found family ~ Morally grey, protective prison guard ~ Secrets ~ Insta attraction/lust/love
I liked the ending because it leaves the door open for book 2 but not with a massive cliffie! When is this being released?!

Hope you’ve had a good week!
I know in my last update I said I wanted to read my 6th book of March….but it didn’t happen!
What did happen was that I caught the virus my son had and I was fit for absolutely nothing! I crawled to my desk to work from home, logged off early and flopped into bed each day! Then on Thursday I lost my voice and it’s still not back! I think I may have laryngitis!
But I did manage to squeeze in the small last part of my audiobook!
I always keep track of my books read in the year but, for 2026, I decided to keep track of my monthly reading stats as they help me understand my reading habits and to try and help me stay motivated.
March turned out to be a surprisingly strong reading month!
The graphic below has a page count error, am guessing because they were user added? The correct total was 3300 but, as I listened to 100% audio, I have only left the time listened below!
📖 Books read: 6 🎧 Listening time: 96 hours 42 minutes ⭐ Average rating: 4.42 🎙️ Format: All audiobooks 📚 Genre mix: All fiction, primarily romantasy
