The V Games by Ker Dukey and K Webster

 HOLY SMOKES, BATMAN!  This series had me captivated from the first page!


There are three books in the V Games series - Vlad, Ven and Vas. Think Russian mafia. Think dark depravity.  Think women who are equally as strong as the men - Diana, I am talking about you!  Think twists and turns.  If you have all that going on in your head, multiply it by 5122554256 and you have what is going on here. 

This series starts with Vlad's story.  I don't want to say too much about the actual story lines and give too much away, but just know that Vlad and Diana are willing to put their families first and do what must be done.  Do Vlad and Diana love each other?  Of course not!  Remember, family first.  So, who do they love?  Wellllll, Vlad loves Diana's younger sister, Irina.  And Irina has always loved Vlad but knew she could never have him.  Those twists and turns happen and this book ends with Vlad and Irina together.



Now,  the series name is the V Games.  Think murder and mayhem where people bet on the players.  Not just on who will win, but who will kill who and more money for you if it's long and drawn out with anything dark and depraved going on before the last breath.  We get a hint of the Games in Vlad's book, but we get to see what really happens in the Games during Ven's book!  And once again, I don't want to say too much.  Ven's book picks up immediately where Vlad's left off and we see Ven realize he can have what and who he wants cause she was virtually dropped in his lap.  But, this being a story by this author duo, things are not that simple LOL  More twists and turns and we get a front row seat to the Games.  And holy smoke!  I could not stop turning pages.  And the winner was fantastic!  Ven realizes he gave up on his love and works to get her back.  Does she fall immediately back in bed with him?  NO!  She is strong and commanding and knows what she wants and deserves in life.  She has proven herself time and again.  Yeah, she and Ven get back together and I was happy for that.  The end of this had me jumping out of my chair (I was reading at work) and pacing for a few moments.  I sat back down and immediately started Vas's book


And oh my stars.  Vas was my favorite.  Yes, he is the son of one of the First Families, but an illegitimate one. So he grew up on the outside looking in.  He had a bit more softness to him than Vlad or Ven.  But make no mistake, Vas is not a softy.  He is just as ruthless -  he's a fighter and trains people for the V Games.  He has his sights set on someone we met in Vlad's book and was the center of the OH SHIT moment there at the end of Ven's book.  And watching Vas and her find their way had me turning pages and finishing his book before I went to bed.  Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I read this in like an afternoon and evening.  Thank heavens Hubs went fishing after work and I didn't have to cook dinner.

So, I definitely think you need to grab this boxset and read this series.  Start at the beginning because the story builds throughout.  Be warned though - this is NOT light and fluffy.  It is dark, gruesome and taboo and might make you want to throw up.  But if you can get through that, I really think you will love it!

Until next time...

Hello October!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've read a bunch of books, eaten some yummy foods, sewn a lot of quilt blocks and stitched a lot of stitches. I've also had a wonderful vacation to Disney with the WHOLE family! Let me just tell you, it was HOT there. Yes, I know it's Florida and it's supposed to be hot.  But ya'll.  I'm originally from south Louisiana,  I get heat and humidity, but this was overwhelming lol the heat indexes were upper 90s and hit 101. In mid-September. But we still had a marvelous time. We rode all the rides we were aiming for and ate most of the snacks we planned for. And we got in two of our traditions-Boston Lobster Fest and mini-golf!  I totally went off any eating plan while there.  Mind you, I am not really on an eating plan right now, but I didn't overthink food.  If I wanted the fish and chips from the England pub at EPCOT, I ate...

Crafty Round Up for mid-October

 Hi friends!!  I figured I needed to come share my sewing/stitching/quilting updates with you because it's been a while.  So, let's get started... First up is quilty goodness.  And it comes with a story.  Christmas 2021 I bought myself a block of the month subscription from Fig Tree Fabrics for her Manchester by the Sea Mystery BOM program.  If you are not familiar with Joanna and Fig Tree Fabrics, go check her out.  Her stuff is GORGEOUS!!!  I've bought her fabric forever for clothes for the girls.  Joanna does the block of the month programs and sends out fabric and patterns each month and you end up with a beautiful sampler quilt.  Manchester by the Sea was scheduled for April 2022 thru March 2023.  I got a beautiful envelope of fabric and instructions to make blocks each of those months and did not touch a one of them until we came back from Disney last month.  I'm a member of her BOM group on Facebook and have seen the fin...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
