For a while now, I’ve been sharing my Books of the Week, my favourite spicy, dark, and addictive reads I couldn’t put down. But it’s time for an upgrade.
I’m turning that weekly feature into something bigger:
Jess’s Book Spotlights.
Each week, I’ll be highlighting not just my own favourite reads, but also brilliant books from other indie authors, including free deals, 99p steals, new releases, and dark gems you might’ve missed.
This is your space to discover something bold, binge-worthy, and impossible to forget.
🖤 What You’ll Find in the Spotlights:
Free books in dark romance, fantasy, mafia, reverse harem, and taboo
99p/99¢ deals that are too good to scroll past
Brand new releases from indie authors who write with heat and heart
And yes… the occasional spotlight on my own worlds too
If you like your books messy, intense, twisted or tender, these roundups are for you.

Zayn
I never expected to find my quiet neighbour standing on my doorstep covered in blood and begging me for help.
How could I refuse her when those blue eyes looked so scared? The fear only made her more attractive. I knew that I wasn’t a good man, so I saw an opportunity and I took it.
A small price for clearing up her mess.
She was mine for the next three months, at my service to do whatever I wished.
Lilian
It was only a matter of time before I snapped. The blood, the mess, the body. I didn’t know what to do.
Go to the cops or the dangerous man next door. Be his toy or go to jail. It was an easy choice.
I thought I picked the lesser evil, but maybe I was wrong.
It turns out that Zayn lives up to his reputation, and now I’m completely at his service.
Maybe there’s a heart in there somewhere, or is his soul completely blackened?
I was soon going to find out.

Devil’s Pass by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti
This is a Novella prequel to Sinners Playground (The Harlequin Crew Book 1)
Ten years ago, The Harlequin Boys broke my heart.
I thought my life was complete with them at my side, the five of us against the world, having each other’s backs no matter what the cost.
I’d fight for them until my dying breath.
It’s just a shame they didn’t feel the same.
Once upon a time, my imperfect world shone bright with the light of four boys I would have killed for.
This is the story of how they destroyed me.
I really enjoyed this Novella and it has me super excited for the first book in the series coming out.
Rogue is a brilliant character and I can already tell that she’s going to be really hardcore. She’s already been through a lot and I think the events of this Novella are only going to make her stronger.
The four boys are great. Each one seems to have their own personality and I loved the relationship they each had with Rogue. You can’t fault their reasoning behind their actions, however harsh it was. I’m looking forward to getting to know each of them more in the main book.
The storyline was brilliant. They did everything to protect her, but she doesn’t know that. I can already imagine how the main book is going to go. She doesn’t know the truth behind their actions and hates them for what they’ve done. They eachoce her but want to protect her from Luther’s threats.
I can ready tell that Luther is an arsehole, and if he’s in the main book, I can imagine he’s even more of a dick 10 years later.
This was a brilliant prequel and introduction to this new series. The characters are ready great and I’m looking forward to reading the main book and seeing what has changed in 10 years.
My rating: 5/5*
