🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

How do you like to read? If a book has an audiobook, I’m all in reading along while listening. But add a soundtrack? Game over. That trifecta turns the story into a full-blown movie in my head, and I’m happily lost in it. @aecosbyauthor.bsky.social

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This book was too dark for me. But I still think you should read it if you’re a dark romance fan. CYRUS by @aecosbyauthor.bsky.social is a dark romantic TRAGEDY with raw depictions of depression, addiction, and self-harm. The MMC is an emotionally unavailable vampire with toxic relationships 💙📚

Quotes from Cyrus by A. E. Cosby:

“You haven’t known true ruination until me, little wolf,”

***

"Sinking his hand in their hair, he pulled them into a hungry kiss. Their lips on his own was like coming home. It sent sparks up his spine and caused a strange tightening in his chest. Fuck, was he dying? If so, then this was the perfect way to go."

***

"The anxiety that I’m failing at life doesn’t go away. Wondering if everyone would be happier…” he took a long shuddering breath, “…if I just wasn’t around anymore. Maybe they’d feel less stressed out. You know?”

***

“I’m wet because vampire or not, Cortesano to the King or not, there are ways to kill you, and fantasizing about them has me wetter than a waterfall,” Aida snarled.

***

“I’m surprised you’re still standing,” ... “Or maybe the sickest part of me wanted to see you covered in my insanity.”

***

“You have me on my knees, Bex,” ... “And I want to see all of you.”

My Review of Cyrus by A.E. Cosby:

Dripping with the most depraved facets of dark romance, where every character is morally questionable, and woven with the stunning paranormal imagery of the world found in their other works, author A E Cosby has written an engrossing and devastating tale.

Cyrus is a polyromantic tragedy with four significant characters and follows the actions that lead them to a sorrowful end. Intense chemistry between well-rounded personalities, including the secondary characters, and an unpredictable plot are only a small sample of how this book showcases Cosby's abilities.
Featuring heavy topics and themes, the author expertly conveys each character's emotions and feelings subtly while keeping the story written in singular POV. This impressive writing style is evident in the more intense scenes.
Aside from the serious aspects, this novel is deliciously filthy and practically sticky with the amount of bodily fluids depicted throughout. The spice, as always, is top shelf quality.

Cyrus is book one of the Blood & Hearts Duology and may be read before The Chaos Series. I must say, reading this first might make certain details in The Chaos Series even sweeter.

I had the honor of receiving this as an ARC and highly recommend it. It's the 4th book by A. E. Cosby that I've read and absolutely loved it and cannot wait to see what Cosby achieves next!

Blurb for Cyrus by A.E. Cosby:

Lost in the consistent haze of bloodlust, Cyrus knew relationships would never be in the cards. His mind was too unstable, his needs too dark and dire. He did everything he could to manage and control his life. What he didn't plan for was meeting three people of nearly extreme personalities and the connections he would form.

A werewolf addict with an instant sexual attraction.

A human with dark thoughts and a past.

And a Wielder who was just unhinged as he was.

Not understanding what he felt for them left him in a whirlwind of emotion. Sex, blood, violence. He was used to that. Emotions, relationships, love... That was new for him. The rollercoaster he rode on was never ending. As life takes a tragic turn, he wondered how he'd move on.

How do you survive when you risk losing everything you ever had but didn't know you needed?

Thankfully I'm in my living room ALONE.
Everyone else has gone to bed.

But the possessiveness is overwhelming and I like that she stood up for herself and reminded him she is NOT property.
I should take a picture of my teary eyed, snot nosed self lmao. But no. No I shan't.
Feel free to use that for marketing lmao
But okay I'm calm enough. I'm going to bed lol

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
