Book 7: 2026
Loving A Vampire Is Total Chaos by Aura Hayes
New Detective Celeine is investigating a series of gruesome serial killings
Zavier is a 300 year old vampire who enjoys killing serial killers who the police, consistently, somehow fail to catch
Celeine doesn't know it yet but Zavier is her first big case, and also her Fated True Mate
Enjoyable fluff. Dark Romance. Some Explicit sex scenes. 53 short (ish) chapters
Sometimes the opening paragraph of a book just grabs you and says 'weeeeee all aboard da traaaain!'
"The Sound of grown men begging for mercy always brings a smile to my face.
Not sure what that says about me, but at three-hundred years old, murder at least keeps life interesting."
- Page 1, Chapter 1, Loving A Vampire Is Total Chaos by Aura Hayes
Book 6 : 2026
Robin of Sherwood: Sanctuary
(aka Richard Carpenter's Robin of Sherwood: Sanctuary by Paul Birch)
I have a deep fondness for the early 1980's British TV show "Robin of Sherwood". One of 22 official original novels feat characters from show.
T'was okay, but I wouldn't recc to anyone not already a fan of the show. Short - only 75 pages - POD issues, and often read more like a teleplay than a book.

Book 5 of 2026
Currently on chapter 5 of 28 of 'Kaiju Preservation. Society' by John. Scalzi - so far so freaking GOOD.
I really don't know how Scalzi makes each book he writes so very Scalzi and yet each one is so definitively different, but it is a breathtaking slight of hand every time.
Book 2 & 3 of 2026: Alpha Warlock's Kala West Series 2-3 of 5 by Auirella Skye [Reverse Harem, Modern Fantasy, Erotica(?)] Do not recommend. Books 2 and 3 = book 1 , just with more chapters Soooo not going to even glance at books 4 & 5 in the series. Cannot figure out if this is a Me problem of the way these books get published problem It's probably me? π€ #Books #Books2026FD #Books2026

Book 2 & 3 of 2026:
Alpha Warlock's Kala West Series 2-3 of 5 by Auirella Skye
[Reverse Harem, Modern Fantasy, Erotica(?)]
2: 11 chapts approx 1.5 hours to read. 3: 14 chapters 1.7 hours to read
DNF either - Book 2, skimmed last 2 chapts, and last 4 chapts in book 3 Because it was just bad (in my opinion) porn. Scenes, suspiciously almost an exact template of book 1
Do not recommend. Books 2 and 3 = book 1 , just with more chapters
Book 1 of 2026:
The Alpha Warlock's Claim - Alpha Warlocks Kala West Story 1 of 5
[Reverse Harem, Modern Fantasy, Erotica(?)]
Only 8 short chapts, with bare minimum of plot / world building, this feels very 'Minimal Viable product'. Characters are briefly intro'd, physically described, meet via some highly convoluted scenario, then have graphic sex. That's it. Took 45 mins from start to finish, my reading speed = 250 - 300 words per min
