Customer Reviews
A spicy mystery
Know what you are getting into though, the ML is high-key toxic and actually pretty terrible but the spice is fabulous.
The Awakening of Ivy Leavold
Wonderfully written from the perspective of the lead female, letting us into her thoughts and feelings with such warmth. Steamy and hot. Story is good as far as it goes by itself, but it does end in a cliffhanger so additional books will be needed to finish the story.
