Like a moth to a flame is a new gothic dystopian dark romance! The book is set in a future world with new technology, where the gorgeous FMC Lilith Sinclair is sold to MMC Killian Cross by her father.
The world the author creates is fascinating and exciting. The plot was very catchy, full of twists, lies, and surprises. Lilith was a complicated character with her set of problems and emotional issues. Killian was equally a complex character. Their dynamic was one of enemies to lovers, and it was most definitely a dark romance. I won't go too much into details as to what I didn't like or didn't enjoy of the book because I don't want to spoil the plot to anyone, but there where some points of the book where I found the decisions of some of the characters a bit tiring. However, overall this book was a solid 3.75-4 stars for me. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good enemies-to-lovers dark romance!

Well this was such a sweet ending for Calder and Sutton.

Well this was such a sweet ending for Calder and Sutton.
To recap... Calder is a member of the Irish mafia, and Sutton is the daughter of a politician. We start right where the first book ended and events develop really quickly for the first couple of chapters. (view spoiler)[and then we start getting time jumps. I honestly feel like the author was trying to represent angst and roadblocks in their relationship but honestly maybe it went a little bit too overboard for me. I already felt like it was too 'insta-love' at the beginning and now we get three years of time jumps (hide spoiler)]...more
This book was definitely better than the last two. I truly enjoyed reading about Kingston and Jazz. I am kinda sad that this is Rating: 4.25 Stars ⭐️
This book was definitely better than the last two. I truly enjoyed reading about Kingston and Jazz. I am kinda sad that this is their last book, but I am sure we will see more of them in the next book, which will follow Bentley.
This series was quite interesting to me because it is supposed to be a dark romance with dark elements (which it is) but at the same time they are fighting for good (view spoiler)[(against the prostitution ring and their parents) (hide spoiler)]. However this was a great ending for the couple and I absolutely loved their HEA. I wish we would have gotten a little bit more of a look into the future, but their ending was very sweet. And I have to say it... Belle is just the cutest ...more

This book was definitely better than the first one. It answered a lot of unanswered questions from the first book, and the characters felt more relatable and real in this book.

The first thing about this book that drew me in was the cover. It is so pretty!
Anyways, moving on to the actual book. This is the first book of 3 and it does end in a cliffhanger. The author does write at the beginning of the book that it is not a standalone, so I won't dig too much into this book for feeling a bit incomplete.
Let's start with the positives. I liked the FMC. Jazz is a badass. She talks back and she most definitely fights back with all her might, but I felt she was too forgiving on many things. Personally I would not forget half of the shit they do to her, but it is bully high school romance so I guess it comes with the territory. As for Kingston, I liked him at times and at others I wanted to strangle him. It was a rollercoaster of emotions with him for sure.
As for the things I didn't like about this book... basically there were a lot of unanswered questions for me. Again this is due to the fact that it is not a standalone so I won't judge the book to harshly for that. However, I wish we would have seen more of Kingston and Jazz together, and that more things would have been revealed earlier.
Overall, this book did get me hocked on the series, and I will be reading the next 2 books to find out what happens. I would give this book 3.75/5 stars overall, and 1/3 for steam.

Christiano was a great MC. He was strong and dominant and very very dark. If you like reading mafia romances where the hero is a true bad boy, this book is definitely for you. Arielle was a surprise. I really liked her and her personality, but I have to admit I like him more. There is just something about bad boys in mafia books.... Their love is a bit of insta-love for an arranged marriage in the mafia but it wasn't too overdone. They fit together very well and I really liked reading about how they interacted with the other characters in the book from A.J. Wyatt's Cosa Nostra Series (which I haven't read but I will run to do so now)

This was definitely darker than I thought. Still, while I love the Camorra Chronicles and Cora's writing, this book just felt a little bit off for me. Like the magic of the previous books was not there, but it was an enjoyable read after all.
Twisted Cravings follows the younger of the Falcone brothers, Adamo, and his love interest Dinara. They meet at the illegal races of the Camorra, and start falling in love with each other. Dinara has a complicated childhood, with her dad being the packman of the Chicago Bratva, and Adamo has some addiction problems. They start sharing their stories and Adamo helps Dinara with some issues of her past.
Things I didn't like ⬇️: (view spoiler)[There were several things I didn't like about this book. Firstly, I felt like there were so many killing scenes which I understand by the concept but please can we get some actual character development without that? Secondly, I didn't like how the relationship between Adamo, Dinara and the Falcones was written. It seemed like Remo and Nino had such an important role but they don't really appear much IMO. Also the rest of the family barely has 3 scenes... I understand that Adamo has a difficult relationship with his family but it came across as distant family members that get together once a year. The importance of family and how close the Falcone brothers is sooooo spoken about in previous books that it just makes Adamo seem like the distant cousin. Also, WTH is all that with Gemma. Obviously Dinara didn't have anything to do with Gemma's family tragedy but it just seemed like they moved past the issue like no big deal! (hide spoiler)]
Anyways, this book was okay. It didn't wrap up the Camorra Chronicles for me. I feel like an epilogue that closed all of their stories or an anthology is needed tbh.
As of the writing of this review, this book is available on KU...more
