Manic-ure: Burlesque Floral by Lovely Hello and Spider (Hades Abyss #1) by Harley Wylde



Lovely Hello is a newer-to-me website for nail wraps. And we all know that I love me some nail wraps. I chose Burlesque Floral because I am a sucker for the color red. The red on these nails is one of my very favorite shades of red. My nails are a little bit shorter than usual because I had to trim them down before they got so long that they’d break.


This week, I listened to Spider, by Harley Wylde, narrated by Umi Markkanen. It’s the first book in the Hades Abyss series of MC Romance.



Here’s my review:

MMC/FMC- Spider and Luciana

Genre- MC Romance

Heat- 3.5 volcanos

Series? Y

Safety? N because s. trafficking is discussed.

Triggers- Discussions of the following: SA, S. Trafficking of adults and minors, physical and mental abuse. Includes pregnancy loss, violence, sex.

Tropes- Marriage of Convenience, Damsel in Distress, Age Gap, Dysfunctional Family FTW, Pregnant Heroine, Traumatized Heroine.

What I liked- I thought the narration was excellent. Umi always does an excellent job with all of the voices. I enjoyed the story and the main characters (plus Teller).


I got an ARC of this audiobook on StoryOrigin. Anytime a Harley Wylde or a Marteeka Karland audiobook is on offer on StoryOrigin, I’m on it like pink on a flamingo. They both use Umi Markkanen as their narrator and I heart her.


Spider was a satisfying listen, relatively short and with steam. I recommend it if you like MC Romance and don’t want an audiobook that’s twelve hours long.
