Former paralegal Rhonda Campbell left the law behind when she swapped legal pads for latex. Now, as Mistress Kali, she runs the most exclusive BDSM dungeon in Atlantic City, where pleasure pays the bills and fantasy is always in play—until a longtime client is smothered with a French tickler. Talk about a safe word fail.
Enter newly relocated Detective Jason Dee, fresh off the gritty streets of Philly and itching for a real case—because so far, New Jersey’s biggest offense seems to be overpriced cocktails. When he finally lands a murder investigation, his prime suspect is a whip-smart, leather-clad domme who’s as infuriating as she is intriguing.
With a killer on the loose and tensions rising, Rhonda and Jason must combine their expertise in sex and homicide to crack the case—before another victim is tickled to death.

Unclaimed Mail from Fun Delivered - Bvlgari Serpent Ring!!!!!
My mom opened a few more packages from our Fun Delivered box of 100 small packages, and we were in for a real surprise. First up was a pair of knock‑off Gucci sunglasses. They weren't fooling anyone, but my mom still looked cute in them.
Next, she opened a package of stair grips. Not the most exciting item in the world, but definitely practical and we might use them on the steps at my office.
The most exciting item this batch was a Bvlgari Serpent ring. I'm not convinced it's real, but unlike the Cartier Love Ring we found a few weeks ago that arrived in a tiny plastic bag, this one came in a velvet box along with a branded jewelry pouch. If it turns out to be authentic, similar rings can be worth thousands of dollars.

For now, we're treating it as a mystery. At some point, my son is going to take our growing collection of luxury mystery finds including the Tiffany necklace, Cartier Love Ring, and now this Bvlgari Serpenti ring, to a jeweler or pawn shop so we can find out whether any of them are legitimate. Until then, it's fun to dream.
Check out the video below and let us know what you think. Could this ring be the real deal, or are we getting our hopes up again?

Unclaimed Mail from Bup Boxes- Memorial Pillow Case & Nail Polish
Today my mom opened the last three packages from our large Bup Box, bringing an end to a mystery‑box adventure that lasted well over a month. We definitely got our money’s worth out of this box. From power washers to clothing, it kept us entertained for weeks.
For her first package, my mom pulled out a memorial pillow case. If you recognize this man in the photo, please send me a message. I'd love to help reunite them with their keepsake.
Next up was a hair clip, which was simple but cute. The final item from the box was nail polish, an overstock item rather than unclaimed mail. And with that, our giant Bup Box adventure comes to a close. Now it's time to move on to the next mystery box!
Check out the video below to see the final three packages and help us identify the owner of that personalized pillowcase.

Unmasked is FREE on Amazon
Years after a near-fatal car accident almost destroyed
his career, Erik Patko has finally returned to the Broadway stage, starring
alongside his famous parents Lord Justyn and Lady Rebecca in a revival of the
classic musical Opera Ghost. Even his girlfriend Priscilla joins the chorus
after her college graduation, but instead of soaking up the accolades, Erik is
tormented by his leading lady and growing more and more dependent on opiates to
manage his anxiety and depression. When a masked vigilante fighting hate crimes
in the Theatre District enacts vengeance on his tormenters, Erik fears his
addiction is causing him to bring his character to life on and off the
stage.
Unclaimed Mail- Seat Belts & T-shirts
We’re back with another batch from the 100 small packages box from Fun Delivered. (Check them out of Shark Tank!)
The first package contained replacement seatbelt parts. Next up was a kids’ T‑shirt, which was cute and in great condition.
Finally, I opened an adult‑size American Outlaw T‑shirt. It was actually pretty nice quality and looked brand new. Not something I’d personally wear, but someone out there will definitely love it.
This box has been one of my favorites so far. Its a great value for the money. Personally, I feel like I get better items in the small packages. If the large items aren't something I can use, they are hard to sell because they often cost more to shit then they're worth. Small items have good resale value and are easy to package. Getting 100 packages for roughly $175 including shipping makes each one under $2. Plus, its lots more to open!
Check out the video below to see everything I pulled from this round of packages. With nearly 100 little mysteries to work through, there’s still plenty of chaos ahead!

Michael's Mystery — Flowers, Flowers, and More Flowers
I was super excited when I stopped into Michael's and saw they had their mystery boxes again. These boxes are only $10 each and are usually packed with clearance merchandise worth far more than the purchase price. Since I never seem to learn self-control when mystery boxes are involved, I grabbed four and brought two of them to my mom to open.
My mom picked the first box, and it was packed to the gills with silk flowers. We found poppies, sunflowers, roses, and several other floral varieties mixed throughout the box.
There was only one non-flower item in the entire haul: a George Washington costume. Completely random, but that's part of the mystery-box experience. As luck would have it, one of my kids' friends was looking for that Halloween costume, so we'll be passing that along.
While an entire box of flowers might not sound exciting to everyone, they'll definitely find good homes. Several of my crafty coworkers make wreaths and floral arrangements, so they'll be thrilled. I'm also thinking some of the flowers might be used to decorate hospital rooms or donated to local nursing homes to brighten up residents' spaces.
When you look at the value, this was still an impressive haul. Most of the flower bundles had price tags of $9.99 or more each, and the George Washington costume alone retailed for around $75. Not bad for a $10 mystery box.
Check out the video below to see just how many flowers were stuffed into this thing. 🌻🌹🌼📦

After her terrible adventures in the Silent Woods, Na’ya’s world seems to have returned to normal… that is, except for the nightmares that keep haunting her. What she needs is the power to protect everyone, and she has the perfect solution—she’ll turn into a dragon, once and for all! With help from Ailis and Jasper, everything seems to be going according to plan. But what’s that dark shadow slithering around the spell-casting range?
