Vernon Reid’s virtuosic — and intentionally idiosyncratic — musical personality has earned him a devoted, dare we say, cult-like following. A stripped-down, blacked-out iteration of the Living Colour guitarist’s Totem Series, the Reverend Vernon Reid The Darque is one of the few axes brazen enough to contain the guitarist’s anarchic, Bad-Brains-meets-Mahavishnu-inspired chops. Originally unveiled at Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning concert, this high-performance electric guitar is built upon an ergonomically slim korina body, which brandishes a spotlight-ready satin poly finish. The Vernon Reid The Darque’s 3-piece korina neck feels like absolute greased lightning, and its 22-fret, 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard provides an ample launching platform for high-level finger aerobatics. A trio of Railhammer Vernon Reid humbuckers infuses this solidbody electric guitar with a massive miscellany of scorching-hot tones, which you can shape with dedicated Volume, Tone, and Bass Contour controls. Vernon Reid’s whammy mastery is undeniable, and his signature Reverend is equipped to oblige him, thanks to a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Pro double-locking tremolo. Players with an intense desire to subvert musical barriers will find Reverend’s Vernon Reid The Darque to be a first-class collaborator.

Stage-ready looks and pumped-up playability
The Vernon Reid The Darque flaunts a thin, aerodynamically contoured korina body, which is covered with an eye-catching satin polyurethane finish and given an attention-grabbing, blacked-out aesthetic. You’ll appreciate the effortless playability afforded by this guitar’s 3-piece, Medium Oval korina neck, which features a satin finish for an agile, low-drag feel. Finally, you also get a blazing-fast 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, which is crowned with 22 nickel-alloy frets and emblazoned with a kaleidoscope of mesmerizing inlays.

Vivid tone from versatile electronics
Players who demand hot, fat tones but also require a flexible sonic palette will appreciate this guitar’s Railhammer Vernon Reid pickups. Arrayed in a triple-humbucker configuration, these pickups vaunt a cutting-edge design, with rails under the wound strings for tight, clear lows and poles under the plain strings for smooth, soaring highs with zero hum. You’ll dig this solidbody electric guitar’s Bass Contour control, a passive bass roll-off that tightens your low end and revoices your pickups. Reverend’s proprietary custom jack plate, Pure Tone jack, and 10% pots and caps round out the Vernon Reid The Darque’s robust features.

Ready for mind-bending pitch pyrotechnics
Anyone familiar with Vernon Reid’s playing knows that the man seriously knows how to work a whammy. For that reason, the Vernon Reid The Darque comes outfitted with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Pro. This low-profile double-locking tremolo allows you to shriek, squeal, and flutter with absolute impunity. Are you someone who treats bar-to-body dive-bombs like an Olympic sport? Well, the Vernon Reid The Darque can take it, and your tuning will snap right back into place when you let go of the bar. Countless guitarists are die-hard Floyd Rose devotees, and we’re pleased as punch with its inclusion on this Vernon Reid signature guitar.

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best. To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn! The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL. THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo. The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters. Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes. I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo
