My lil old man dog isn’t feeling good so I’ve been up since 2a. He’s asleep now but if I try to lay down he’s going to wake up and be uncomfortable. So im just up.

I love him so much and I am so tired. I have to be up in like 3.5 hrs to go to work. 🫠🫩

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Omg. This book was absolutely incredible. It was the perfect blend of heavy, tense, hot, dark and spicy.

I love the characters so much.

The Dual POV/Timeline was done so well that I was never confused. I felt so many emotions reading it! I def rec it!

Check CWs!

I am unreasonably obsessed with this book. I have 15% left & am so upset about it.
Luckily it’s the first in a series but the next one isn’t announced yet.

I’m losing sleep over this, & crying at work reading on my lunch. Already 5⭐️

House of Rayne is a USA Today Bestseller! 🥹🖤

My first sapphic romance and my first fully trad published novel — and y'all made it a bestseller. Thank you, thank you, thank you 😭

The book House of Rayne by Harley Laroux sits on a blood-spattered white sheet in a foggy room.

We should do something virtual! Probably not the reading in silence together part but we can do a call where folks pop on and talk books

I went! It was cool. There were 7 people inc my and my partner. One person had similar book tastes as me so that was cool.

I think I wanna go again. It’s bimonthly

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This was such a fun read! I def rec it if you’re looking for a gay smutty adventure. The MCs are so loveable and there is a side couple(?) that I need a spin off about bc I love them.
