Where Fools Have Tread

I have NOT been good at keeping up with my top author's latest releases...for a while. It's hard keeping up when you just keep adding more authors to the list and keep adding more ARCs to your other list and have to work for a living (boo). Anywho, here's Jennifer Cody's "Where Fools Have Tread." It's set within the Murder Sprees and Mute Decrees series, but its also a part of the multi-author series Tales From The Tarot.

["Dec:
I’ve never really had much in the way of direction in my life, until I walk into an eerie shop where a strange man charges me more than I should pay for a tarot reading of one card. Next thing I know, I’m graduating school to be a domestic servant and find myself employed by someone else’s weird uncle in the strangest mansion. Everyone is great even if they’re all a little… off. Except Thoren. He’s a thorn in my side, and I hate how he treats me like it’s my job to clean up every little thing he drops on the floor. (My ass is not what he’s looking at because… what?)

Thoren:
I’ve known since I was eight the path I would take in life. Protecting the world from itself has always been my calling, and I do a damn good job of it. So what if I take my pleasure wherever I can find it? I’ve earned every second of my leisure with the hours, days, and weeks of work I put in on every assignment. If I happen to find pleasure in teasing the new butler… well, Dec seems to like it just as much as I do, no matter how often he tries to hide in the cleaning closet. (I wonder if he has a maid costume because… yum.)

Where Fools Have Tread is an MM paranormal romance with a human butler who finds his calling serving a household full of paranormal protectors and a gargoyle with resting bitch face who takes delight in teasing him."]

What utter crack! I loooove all of the new characters and lure and possibilities! So many HEAs in progress (and soooo many quirks to find mates for). 

And so many silly paranormal fighting fate. Because Thoren was not pleased to discover that he had a mate..at first. After he got to know Dec (rhymes with Reese), he wasn’t sharing.

And neither was Dec. He didn’t have hopes and dreams for the future, just a place to be, and he found a family, a mate, and a home. 

PLUS all of the references to Darcy and his future…I’d say poor Darcy, but he secretly wants a mate so…

Trigger Warnings: lost, grief, self-harm, disability, self-doubt, and more.
