Lord of Eternal Night by Ben Alderson
"� that was pretty lame overall. got quite boring at times, had a questionable plot and no proper relationship development. will probably forget this book in roughly 24 hours."

Waiting for Derek by Izaia Winter
"4**** purring stars


First I wanna rant a little about the awful doing of the cover. There might be a story this cover would be fitting for but it’s certainly not this one. The cover looks grey and depressing and sets the vibe and content of this book totally wrong! I’m sure, with a different cover, this book would get the attention it deserves in my opinion. If this hadn’t been a recommendation I probably wouldn’t have looked at it twice.


The storytelling felt a bit choppy and rushed in the beginning. I guess to get the intro into the characters and backstories out of the way and the actual story going.

Regardless, I WAS GLUED TO THE PAGES and it was SO HARD for me to put it down every time I needed to.


Kyle and Kane are brothers, only ten months apart (but look and behave more like twins) and because of their tough upbringing they are super tight. In fact, they do everything together —even dating and having sex (not with each other, tho). They are both marines and still on reserve duty but mostly living civilian life. They are both Dungeon monitors in a big BDSM club and both Doms.

When they meet sweet, vanilla Derek, the new club photographer, they set their eyes on him, encouraged by the heated looks he’s giving them. With their experience in kink they see potential in Derek immediately but he has to figure out a possible interest in the lifestyle for himself. So they wait for him to do so, while they date� and he does.


Turns out he is a beautiful, affection loving kitten, exploring his submissive side for the very first time with them and right before their eyes. *meow


I don’t know what this is with my picks lately but this as well was pretty slow burn and tame for the first half of the book but the tension between the three of them was delicious.


And I really loved the grandma. So accepting. �

“Now, you boys can call me whatever you like. I’ll answer to Lily, Grandma, Grandma Lily, Mrs. Astor, Ma’am. I’m too old to care anymore.�




Despite me loving this story a lot I came to accept that overall I didn’t enjoy the writing- and storytelling style of this author much so I leave it a four solid stars.

*This book is part of a kinky series (the last one so far, actually) but I had no problems at all reading this as a standalone."
