Pretty Little Savage - Review

-

 



This was definitely a very dark read. It's not as dark as some of the other books that I have read before but it definitely went there. In this book we meet Avalon and Dean as they encounter each other at school. Avalon is allowed into this school for the rich and connected thanks to her academics, despite having "bad behavior". We immediately see that she is someone who doesn't give a care about anything that the rich and connected care about. She is definitely a tough girl. Which is something that Dean and the Sick Boys of the school are not used to. As she navigates this new school, dynamics and relationships though her past won't quite leave her alone. I enjoyed reading about how she and Dean get closer to each other. Even though the road there was paved with a lot of mistrust and craziness. This story still managed to keep me interested and engaged with the characters. Avalon is definitely someone who would benefit from some form of therapy or a healthy outlet. Hopefully she gets more of that in the upcoming books in this series. I also enjoyed the relationship that the guys had with each other. 

This spice in this book was very short but worth it. This has a slow build up since these two literally are at each others throats almost from the beginning. I'd give it a 3 out of 5. Overall, I give this story a 3 out of 5. I enjoyed it but I also wish that we got to see a softer side to Avalon. It's nice to be a badass but at the same time, it takes someone really strong to tap into those emotions when you need to. I hope we get to see some of that in the next book. She doesn't have to have a complete meltdown of her character but a little softness would be nice. I hope that the rest of the guys are also getting books in this series because they are all interesting characters. Though again this book is filled with PARENTS BEHAVING BADLY. Like whew. Where did they find this surplus of bad parental figures? I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dark romance.

Tempt Me - Review

 The next series that I decided to take on in my re-read sessions was the Wolf Hotel series by KA Tucker. This series was one that I devoured when I originally read it so I wanted to see if it still hit the same as then! This first book definitely has taken advantage of the naive virgin trope and really let it go full tilt. We meet Abbi as she is going through one of the worst moments in her life. She just found out that her fiancé cheated on her. Of course she comes from a super religious background meaning that they feel like it's ok for the man to do this while she must remain chaste. I mean all the things that young adults get into are things that she was forbidden to do, whether it was drinking, partying or wearing and talking about certain things. Our girl is oblivious. So when she runs into the one and only Henry Wolf, who has done just about any and everything, she is intrigued and curious. I liked that the FMC wasn't someone who fell into her upbringing heavily and did...

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...

Reflected In You - Review

  Wow. I almost don't know how to feel after reading this book. I mean Gideon and Ava are definitely running me through the emotional ringer with this one. I mean they are constantly on a roller coaster themselves! One day they are madly happy then the next day they are close to hating each other. Most of it honestly, is communication. They both have bad communication skills honestly. They feed each others hurt. Yet they are great when they are great. I mean there is a scene in this book where it's almost picture perfection. Then we get instances when one lashes out subconsciously at the other. The issue stemming from the fact that one is very close lipped about something. Which by the end of the book, it makes sense....my LORD, was I stressed while reading this. The amount of times that I stopped and just yelled at one of the other about what the heck they had going on. Like my goodness! I almost don't even know how we got to where we did by the end. The whiplash was real....
