So Much Pain

            This book continues right where the previous book left off, almost without a hitch. I will admit that there were some people that were brought up that I had completely forgotten about. I wish that books had like a glossary or somewhere where they give a synopsis of what happened in the previous book. I was able to remember some things and things started to click. I do feel like this book was definitely more jambled than the previous book. In the first book you had the feeling that there was a definite destination and that the author had things planned out for how she was going to get us there and the reveals were happening at just the right time. However in this one, I felt adrift and like there was not a clear destination for this book. Clearly there was still the big bad that was Ravena and then the two Noblesse who left at the end of the previous book and the trauma that Isolde was dealing with when her father tried to murder her.

Vampires Love Harder

   This book was hot from start to finish!! My first 4 star read of the year for sure!! The story dragged in some places but it was heart wrenching and kept me coming back for more!! The idea of being reincarnated and finding that love again in every life is amazing and I feel for both Valtu and Dahlia (this time).

He will more than likely be reluctant to love again even though finally this incarnation of his love is a little harder to kill. There is also still the threat of the guild. Even though we know that Valtu and Solon have vowed to avenge those wrongfully used by

New Year, New Book Challenge

 2022 Book Challenge          Well another year another book challenge, this year I will again be trying to complete my book challenge for GoodReads. Last year I had a challenge of 100 books. I was very surprised that I didn't manage to make it. For a few years prior to this I was able to complete my challenges and there was way more books on my challenge then. Many people are always commenting on the fact that they don't want to do book challenges because they read for pleasure, well even with this challenge being something that is big on my radar, I definitely still read for pleasure. I do try to complete it and maintain my integrity with the reads that I do choose. So in other words, the challenge makes things that much more fun and interesting. I'm going to continue to use my blog here as somewhere to post the reviews that I have for those books in the challenge. At the same time I also want to use this blog to post more interactive things and try to make things that mu
