Review: Kill With Me - Melody Adams - August 2020 This book had caught my attention on Booksirens as it boasted as a "modern-day Bonnie and Clyde". For those who don't know, Bonnie and Clyde were one of history's most famous female and male duos for killing and crimes.  The book starts with Bonnie killing a Judge and then after her crime, she turns and sees Clyde who had his plans for the Judge. He then proceeds to have his way with Bonnie and kidnaps her and slightly blackmails her. He plans to make her his own and his partner, but his weird mind means that he has to break her first and torture her to submit to him. I have to admit that I had hoped to see more of the crime aspect rather than the sexual / relationship side which is what this book focused on. It should be read with an open mind and if dark romance and R18 rated books aren't your styles, then you won't enjoy this book as it is a twisted dark read as bordered slightly on a case of Stockholm Syn...

At least that’s what I tell myself for packing up and hitting the road with America’s newest and most popular rock band, The Oppressors. The lanky tattooed men are suspicious. Before I stepped on the bus with them, they’ve always made me nervous. Something’s not adding up, though. There are strange events I’m noticing around them. The hazy, vacant stare of the woman in their dressing room. And the blood on her shirt. The beat less sound of Liam’s heart when I lay my head on his chest. I don’t think it’s safe to be close with the band, and most certainly not fall in love with one. So why do they make me feel like I’m a part of them? Their close-knitted trio. What happens when I figure out what I’m dying to know? This is a dual POV steamy vampire romance standalone that centers around bonds of love a...
