#booklovers – Book Reviews by the Reluctant Retiree

I’ve discovered a wonderful tool called Linktr.ee, and it’s opening up a whole new world of possibilities for sharing the books I feature here on the blog!

Until now, most of my book links have pointed to Amazon, but I’d like to give you more choices. With Linktr.ee, I can now connect you to multiple retailers and help you find the books you want in the format you prefer.

Looking for an ebook? A paperback or hardcover? An audiobook for your next road trip or while you’re busy doing other things? There are lots of possibilities!

And here’s something that surprised me: Linktr.ee offers links to retailers and services such as Spotify, Walmart, Target, and many others! That opens the door to more ways for you to find your next great read.

📚 I Want to Hear From You!

Not everyone reads the same way, and I want to make finding your next book as easy as possible.

I’d love for you to tell me which services you use!

Do you read ebooks on Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play Books, or another platform? Do you listen to audiobooks on Spotify or another service? Perhaps you prefer buying your paperbacks and hardcovers from a particular bookstore or retailer.

Whatever your preference, send me a message and let me know!

Here are three things I’d especially like to know:

Ebooks: Which app or service do you use to read or purchase ebooks?
Audiobooks: Where do you go to find and listen to audiobooks?
Print books: Where do you prefer to buy your paperbacks and hardcovers?

You don’t have to use all three formats. Just tell me what works best for you!

I’ll do my best to include your preferred services when they’re available for the books I feature. While not every book will be available in every format or through every retailer, I want to give you as many options as possible.

After all, we may enjoy our books in different ways, but we all share a love of a good story!

Help me help you find your next great read. Send me a message, tell me what you use, and let’s make Book Reviews by the Reluctant Retiree an even better place for readers to discover their next favorite book.

Happy reading! 📖❤️

Love made him dangerous.

Devotion will make him unstoppable.

Dark Night of the Soul

War of the Brotherhood Book 1

by Michelle Miles

Genre: Dark Paranormal Romance

Love made him dangerous. Devotion will make him unstoppable.

For centuries, Kincade survived by control.

Forged by the Brotherhood, he learned to bury his humanity, suppress his instincts, and become exactly what they needed him to be—a weapon. Darkness was safer than feeling. Obedience was survival.

Then she changed everything.

When the woman he loves is taken, restraint shatters. The careful balance he’s fought to maintain slips—and the Brotherhood sees their opening. They want the monster he used to be. The weapon they never quite lost.

To save her, he may have to become exactly that.

As ancient secrets rise and factions fracture, the line between protector and destroyer begins to blur. Every step closer to her pulls him deeper into the war he tried to escape—and toward the darkness he swore would never rule him again.

Because this time, love isn’t his weakness. It’s his point of no return.

Dark Night of the Soul is a dark paranormal romance set within the War of the Brotherhood—a high-stakes spin-off arc in the Dream Walker universe. You do not need to read the previous Dream Walker books to enjoy DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL. This spinoff is designed to stand on its own.

Perfect for readers who love:

* Dark, emotionally intense paranormal romance

* Immortal antiheroes and devotion-driven stakes

* Secret orders, hidden wars, and found family

* Love that becomes defiance

Content Note: This book contains dark themes and intense scenes, including violence, injury and blood, torture / forced restraint, psychological trauma, and situations involving coercion / control. It also includes threats to a loved one. Reader discretion is advised.

“Dark Night of the Soul by Michelle Miles is everything dark paranormal romance should be—intense, emotional, and completely consuming. I devoured it.”

— Michelle M. Pillow, NYT Bestselling Author

Available in eBook, paperback, and audio!
