Ebook Review: Bloodstained Chrome (31 Days of Trick or Treat 2026: Bikers & Mobsters) by E.C. Land

 

Blurb: 

The beast inside me never needed anyone until her...

Primal

I don't play well with others. Solitude suits the lion clawing at my insides. Especially when she's in the room.

Sibley is an anomaly. Older than time but hauntingly pure. She's been waiting for her mate, and she's convinced that I'm him. But I don't do destiny and I'm not interested in forever.

So why can't I get her out of my head and out of my space?

Because the ruthless predator inside me knows the truth. Every time she looks at me, the hunger grows. No matter how high I build the walls, the ancient tether between us just gets stronger. And a beast can only ignore his nature for so long.

Eventually, I'm going to stop running. And when I do, no one will stop me from making her mine.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -

I enjoyed this story. Both Sibley and Primal were blind to their true connection, and it was entertaining watching them dance around each other. A blast from her past brought danger to Sibley's life, and I loved how she was willing to do what was needed. Her belief in Primal came through as he rescued her. The difference in abilities within the MC and the others coming into the club house made for a fun read.

I received a copy through 1852 Media, and this is my unsolicited read.

Blitz: Titan Mage Havoc and the Frigid Flame by Edie Skye with an excerpt and a giveaway

TITAN MAGE HAVOC AND THE FRIGID FLAME

by Edie Skye

GENRE:  Harem Fantasy Action Adventure

BLURB:

IT'S INDIANA JONES WITH MORE ASS (and GIANT ROBOTS!)

Titan Mage Orion “Rion” Havoc has a reputation to match his name—and that’s exactly what the captain of the airship Indigo Gryphon is looking for.

The world of Haven is an adventurer’s paradise, brimming with mysterious ruins, ancient artifacts, and dangerous secret powers the Arcane Index’s combat archaeologists just can’t help but unleash. Fortunately, the Index has a protocol for that, and it involves giant mechs called titans—and their pilots, the titan mages.

***

When mousy archaeologist Mery Arkady hires the Indy for an expedition to the lost city of Aeterna, Rion fully expects danger and derring-do. He even expects her to have more secrets than she’s letting on.

What he doesn’t expect is to be joined by Sanja Grimes—a rough and tumble titan mage, a vigorous partner in rank and in bed … and the one who got away.

Nor did he expect their shared academy rival Nepherik Damian Oldershaw to show up, suspiciously interested in Mery’s expedition and as vicious as he is vindictive.

Even in an adventure that takes them through monster-infested ruins, sky pirate territories, untamed jungles, and lost cities, their greatest threat might be from their own pasts.

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with Amazon bestselling author Edie Skye in this brand-new action-adventure fantasy series. If you’ve ever said “I like the Indiana Jones movies but I wish they had more ass,” this just might be the story you’ve been waiting for.

WARNING: Titan Mage Havoc is a fun mecha fantasy adventure where the hero saves the day and gets all the girls. (So don’t read it and then complain about the spice. Y’all know exactly what you’re getting into.)

EXCERPT:

“Your chief’s here!” Nova said brightly.

“My chief?” The woman startled again. “What time is it? Gouda usually barks when—”

She half-stepped, half-stumbled down the ladder, which was when Sevas noticed the bed positioned beside it, and the loaf-shaped white and fawn dog snoring next to a chewed-up wooden bat. The dog wore a leather eyepatch over an eye marred by an X-shaped scar and clenched an inert alarm clock in its teeth. Also chewed up.

“Gods dammit, how’d she even reach it—” the young woman muttered, then swung to face the hatch. Her eyes landed on her visitors right before she would have crashed into Sevas. She jerked to a halt with a disconcerted “Eep!” and her face froze as she re-processed the situation.

 He shook the thought of his previous view from his mind—even as he noticed her bare, slim midriff, and shook that from mind, too. Gods, why was he noticing such things? He was about to fill the pause with a reprimand about the state of the workshop, but then her brain restarted, and the thing it chose to blurt was:

“Gods, you’re gorgeous!”

It seemed he wasn’t the only person on this ship with a mouth faster than his brain. The young woman clapped her hands to her face, as if to shove her words back in, and Sevas glanced back to Rion and sighed. 

“Yes, it’s a known issue.”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Edie Skye wrote Titan Mage as a joke and, in doing so, discovered that while she really likes writing smart stuff, she also likes writing smut. Pretty spicy smut, too, ‘cause if you’re gonna do it, you might as well do it hard.

Specifically, she likes to spin fun (and funny) adventure fantasies about badass women and the equally badass dudes who want to do them. Vigorously. There’s action and monster-punching galore, sometimes with airships and mech upgrades, sometimes with monster girl gamers, but always with a substantial side of harem and fun-for-all-involved graphic spice. (Which is to say, it’s super NSFW. Unless your workplace is, like, really cool.)

Cover Reveal and Preorder: Eternal Embrace (Eternal Desires #4) by Vanessa Fewings

Eternal Embrace

Series: Eternal Desires Book 4

by Vanessa Fewings

Release: November 4, 2026

Publisher: Vinci Books

Goodreads: https://t.ly/qQGts

Bookbub: https://t.ly/GfljQ

Genre/Tropes:

Dark Paranormal Romance

Vampire Romance

Forbidden Love

Vampire Fantasy

Blurb:

A dark gothic vampire romance filled with forbidden desire, dangerous immortals, obsessive love, and seductive supernatural intrigue.

He was everything I should have feared.
And everything I could never resist.

I told myself I was stronger than this, that my work, my duty, my reason would keep me grounded. But Jadeon… he shattered every certainty I had. A creature of darkness. A lord among vampires. And yet, when he touched me, the world burned brighter than the rising sun.

He warned me to stay away.
I didn’t listen.

How could I? When every instinct, every reckless, aching part of me demanded I go to him, to understand him, to save him… or be ruined by him.

I am an investigator. I deal in truth, in evidence, in the cold clarity of justice. But there is nothing rational about what binds us. His world is a seductive abyss of velvet shadows and whispered sins. And the deeper I fall, the more I risk losing everything I once believed in.

Everything I am.

Because loving him is not just dangerous…
It is annihilation.

And now the balance has shifted. The hunter and the hunted. The mortal and the immortal. Lines blur. Power fractures. And somewhere in the darkness, a choice waits, one that could cost him eternity…

Or cost me my soul.

Eternal Embrace is a dark paranormal vampire romance perfect for readers who love dangerous immortal heroes, gothic obsession, forbidden love, and emotionally charged vampire fantasy in the vein of Interview with the Vampire, A Dowry of Blood, and Empire of the Vampire.

Eternal Surrender

Series: Eternal Desires Book 3

by Vanessa Fewings

Release: October 7, 2026

Publisher: Vinci Books

Goodreads: https://t.ly/Ggy3Q

Bookbub: https://t.ly/-FaOq

Genre/Tropes:

• Dark Paranormal Romance

• Vampire Romance

• Gothic Fantasy

• Forbidden Desire

• Obsessive Anti-hero

Blurb:

A must read for vampire fans.      

Moments of joy and heartbreak, of love and denial, of trust and betrayal.

A completely new and fresh take like no other

 

A dark gothic vampire romance filled with fractured immortality, forbidden desire, enemies bound together, and deadly supernatural intrigue.

We have always hated each other.
We have killed each other.

And now… we are trapped together, breathing through the same skin, craving through the same veins, imprisoned in a single living body.

I am William. That’s what they call me now.
And I am not alone.

Jadeon’s fury coils inside me like a blade. Orpheus’s darkness pulses like a second heart. Two ancient enemies bound by a grotesque mistake of blood and resurrection, our minds bleeding into one another, our desires tangling in ways neither of us can control. Every thought is a battle. Every heartbeat, a war.

And London is dying.

Something is poisoning us, something ancient, merciless, and unseen. Vampires are falling, their immortality unraveling into ash and agony. No one is safe.
Especially not us.

She is the only light in this suffocating darkness.

Inspector Ingrid Jansen, brilliant, relentless, devastatingly human. She sees me… all of me… and still reaches closer. She stirs something dangerously fragile within this fractured soul, something that feels like hope… or ruin. Because to love her is to risk everything, not just my life, but what remains of my sanity.

Hunted by the ruthless Stone Masters and racing through a London that shifts from glittering elegance to depraved shadow, we chase ancient secrets that may undo what we’ve become… or damn us forever.

Who survives?

A dark, seductive descent into fractured immortality, forbidden desire, and a city on the brink, where even monsters fear what’s coming next.

Eternal Surrender is a dark paranormal vampire romance perfect for readers who love obsessive immortal anti-heroes, gothic fantasy, forbidden desire, and emotionally charged vampire fiction in the vein of Interview with the Vampire, A Dowry of Blood, and Empire of the Vampire.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I found this to be interesting as to the strength of Jadeon and the outcome. The addition of Paradom and Sovereign raised the stakes in this world. Jadeon wanted the best for everyone (or so he thought), but the support system, even when in doubt, was what pulled this together. His relationship with Ingrid made me happy despite his trying to separate them. This an intense journey, and I look forward to the next in the series to see how things progress after the latest revelation.
