I’ve been in the trenches, broken and defenseless Why does feeling helpless feel like home? Can’t come to my senses, wide awake and restless Why does feeling helpless feel like home? Like home
Why does feeling alone seem to feel like home I guess feeling this low’s the only thing I know Can’t control my mind, its got a mind of its own I killed all my brain cells, I guess I’m dying alone I like the guy in the mirror but I ain’t liking his tone
He’s been pushing me down when I’m just trying to grow Helpless in my home, somebody pray for my soul I say, “I’m fine” but I’m lying and it’s starting to show
I’ve been in the trenches, broken and defenseless Why does feeling helpless feel like home? Can’t come to my senses, wide awake and restless Why does feeling helpless feel like home? Like home
I try to run from the pain but it still keeps up Seems what’s in front of the mirror just won’t speak up I cry for help in this hell but it don’t mean much Reruns I’m feining, they treat me like I don’t need love
A broken home, a cornerstone of a dead man Caught me red-handed, I live like the undead can I’ve said prayers still sin never was blessed, man Then life hit me with the left hand
I’ve been in the trenches, broken and defenseless Why does feeling helpless feel like home? Can’t come to my senses, wide awake and restless Why does feeling helpless feel like home? Like home Like home

My 2 cents –
I feel like this is so very relatable. The I have been there sort of thing.
So I healed a magic wolf in my ER, got kidnapped by the sorcerer who owns him, and discovered I’m the only thing standing between Chicago and literal darkness.
He materializes out of a blackout like he owns the dark — storm-grey eyes, zero warmth — and gives me thirty seconds to prove I’m not the reason his city is tearing itself apart.
Most infuriating man I’ve ever met.
Except then he stays up all night protecting me, steps between me and everything trying to kill us, and somewhere in a tunnel with shadow monsters scraping the walls, his hand steady on my arm, I stop pretending I don’t feel it.
So we complete a bonding ritual beneath the city and seal the breach bleeding Chicago dry.
And the enemy we thought we’d stopped used our bond like a beacon to find us.
The thing powerful enough to save this city just painted a target on both of us.
If they break one of us, they break both.

The only way to get this is to go to Raven Foxmore, author’s Page to sign up for her Newsletter. It is however free.
This is an interesting little read. Worth picking up. The premise has appeal. It has well written Characters.
This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.
This is a busy time for me due to Fae Corps Publishing. Anthologies and getting ready for kids week. Serena has a volume I thought I had published already that will be releasing on November 14. The Crypt’s Secrets got a minor delay because I was sick when I finished writing it. It is back on track and available to pre-order.
I am currently working on putting together the Kids week anthology. I will be making this a yearly thing. The spring anthology call has been released for those who are interested.
Tuesday tunes will likely make a return this week. I will do a gallery post for drawtober on Thursday.

John Mowbray, the future Fourth Earl of Rothesay, has known Samuel since he was a boy and Samuel played with his older sister, Rose. Boisterous and outgoing, John wishes for nothing more than to bring Samuel out of his shell.
And if he has to fight a Duke to save the man he loves, so be it.
Get lost in this sweet but steamy LGBTQIA+ Regency romance!
My Thoughts
*Preorder. Releases October 8th. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC copy for an Honest review.
The first book was hard to put down…this was even better. I literally finished reading it with no break. The characters are so relatable. I enjoyed the read.
