Believe in Me - Review

Image
 I liked this book but it definitely didn't hit for me like the first one did. There were moments where I was like...that's a cringe thing to say. Then the ending for me was just not it. I didn't like that Renee is a doctor who knows how to manage these types of situations she found herself in at the end of the book only to be acting a whole fool. It makes sense that she has never experienced this before but you'd think she'd be equipped with the tools she needed to handle things a little better. I felt like it was very out of character for her and I just kinda felt thrown out of the story. Other than that, I think this book really did a good job of displaying growth. Both of these characters had history's that kind of inhibited them from being the best that they could be and luckily with each other they were able to overcome them. Even though they had their rough patches, their love was strong enough to survive the mistakes that they both made. I really enjoyed...

Split - ARC Review

  Whew, I have to come down from the information dump that just happened in order to be able to actually type right now. My goodness! There is so much happening right now that it is actually kinda crazy! I'll give a brief synopsis on where we are with everyone Titus (hate), is on the move and bringing the war to fruition with the North. He has so many secrets that no one really knows everything. One thing we do know is that he is definitely a pawn for Mother. Mother (hate x2), OMG we know who she is now and her relation to known characters!! Of course we still don't know exactly what went down to get everyone and everything to where it is now. If everyone didn't know already, we have 1 million percent confirmation that certain characters have been around since the surge originally happened (big gasp). Kara, we are still in limbo with what is truly happening with her and the babies. I am on tenderhooks here waiting to see how this plays out. Our badass FMC is still doing the...

Queen Takes Rook - Review

Image
 We are back again with Shara and the guys and this time she is gearing up to make her move against the Triune. Everything is not all grand with things with Mayte as Shara prepares to leave. She ends up encountering Ra's minions once again. Again Shara is able to prevail but not before she has to make a promise that brings her to tears to make. Even though she doesn't want to do it, for the good of everyone she knows she must. After finally returning home and getting a chance to hang out and recharge with her guys, she begins to make her big move. A lot of layers gets pulled back when she goes to New York to confront her first Queen. There are so many reveals here that if you weren't ready, you would almost get drowned in all the information that comes here. It was sad and yet satisfying to read. As a mother myself you can really feel for the characters during this sequence in the book. You would do just about any and everything for your child. Here we see that displayed in...

What Lies Within Masks and Shadows - Review

Image
  This book was a struggle to get through. I really enjoyed what was going on with the story but it just felt like there was so many unnecessary pages that I had to slug through. The FMC continued to waffle and really made me want to shake her because ma'am the way that you were ok with something one second and now it's a problem is insane. I really wanted her to be able to get over the situation with her ex-fiance. I feel like there is something else at play there with how that situation is playing out. Another thing that was kind of meh for me, was the fact that Alora was said to have fighting skills and even after months fighting and training with the Dragons, she still seems like a damsel in distress when it comes to getting into fights. I feel like her and Garrick have the potential to be THE power couple. Though if she can't seem to fight without using her power though then what even is the point? She uses these skills against Garrick (even though she loses) yet she c...
