What Would You Do to Remember

-
 

 This book was ok. I am still not sure how I feel about it.  I don't hate it but I also don't love it. It was truly a meh read to me. I'm going to go ahead and say this review will have spoilers!! If you want to see my thoughts without the spoilers skip to the last paragraph!! Let's get to it!
   So I couldn't really give reasons on why I was meh on this book without giving examples from the book. So I didn't like that the issues weren't big enough to warrant the actions of the characters. At this point in the story we know that the 4 horsemen have known Scarlett before this.  Everything they've accomplished til this point has been to get her back. Which... I guess. We don't really get any backstory on how everyone met our know each other. I almost felt like they were all in foster care or something with each other and bonded that way but I'm unsure. They were 16 year Olds when whatever happened, happened so I don't know who could have made enemies of them at that young of an age. They don't seem connected to like a mob family so that's out the window. They haven't been able to find Scarlett in the 10 years she's been missing but they know who had her. For some reason they can't try to help her get her memories back so they're torturing her because she's with the enemy. I felt like all this could be solved by a lie detector or by a conversation. Then Scarlett not believing that these obviously powerful and dangerous men could protect her from her delusional parents was also a bit bothersome. After being abused by my parents if I found some men who cared for me and have the power to protect me from them then I'd 1000% try to get them to save me.  Instead she goes along with her family (or so it seems) and looks to betray them.  I just need more information. The holes are still blaring and the simple solutions are being discarded for confusion. The spice couldn't even save this book. They're were definitely moments where I was like oh this is nice. But I mainly was like....--...--. 
   I'm curious enough to want to see what is going to happen in the next story. Hopefully we'll get done clarification on some of the questions the first book raised. If this one is still on the meh train though. I'll probably just have to live with the mystery. The spice was meh as well. I'd give it a 2 out of 5. The highlights to me were the individual moments Scarlett had with Prescott and Francis. The rest were boring... well minus the one with West. Overall I gave this a 3 but it's like on the lower end of 3. I'm not sure about recommending this yet. I'll have to see if book 2 makes up for some of the things missing in book 1.

Binder - ARC Review

Yall, I try not to be long winded when I do my reviews because I don't want to spoil you. Also I try to be a raving looney toon as well but this series is going to probably have the longest reviews I've written. When I say that I am head over heels for these characters, this world, the story. I truly am. Once again we are back in this world meeting so many new faces and some returning! I was so happy to see that Rogan was back! I knew it would throw an interesting wrench between Kara and Flynn and boy did it!! Rogan was just someone who was there briefly in the Prequel Breeder, but he was important to Kara. The fact that he disappeared after what happened in the prequel was investing to me and he always lingered in the back of my mind but never,  did I expect his return to be what it was!! I definitely hope we get a story on him! I just know he has an amazing story to tell!! Cal, is still a wild card for me. There are some people who have lived a long time in this series and Ca...

Daughter of No World's - Review

 This book was probably better than I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed the characters and the world that was built. It was very light on the romance but it definitely managed to shine through when needed. I also would like to add that it did feel like it kind of dragged at certain points in the story and I would have liked if some things were sped up a little. Other than that though things were nice. The story of Max and how he came to be how he was, was tragic. Of course that's the truth of some of the "heroes" of wars. I am interested in seeing how things continue in the next book. Not only with Max, but definitely with Tisannah and the order. I also want to say that I listened to this in it's audiobook form and this was it was um...interesting. You could hear everything with this audio. I mean everything. Every breath that the voice actors took, any noise in their background, page turns and everything. I have been spoiled with these full cast audios and...

Ruthless King - Review

  This was a spicy and fun read! I really enjoyed getting to know the Sokolov brothers! Their story was tragic and crazy but definitely worth the ride that we went on in this book! This book has what you can expect from an omegaverse book, muscle bound alphas with aggression issues, middle of the road betas and the soft spoken and often over looked omegas. The omegas in this world are pretty much subject to whatever the alpha's want. They are believed to just be bed warmers. I do like the idea that the omega's have power that can only be used to it's full potential if the alpha that bonds them actually cares about them. It makes the men have to actually try to care if they want power. Most of the omega's in this world do not have access to their gifts past puberty due to them not forming bonds that are forged with love. Of course this is something that most alpha's ignore and has been lost, for the most part, to the pages of history. Until vengeance brings these two...
