Sick Boys - Review

-



Well, this book took me all over the place and sometimes, I didn't know if I liked it or not. The story itself was ok. We meet Penelope who is on the hunt to discover who killed her sister. In doing so she ends up running into the Sick Boys. So, ill start with the things I didn't like and we'll finish up with what I did like. Firstly, the spitting. Omg, its my one thing that I hate. I cant stand spit and there is a ton of spitting in this book. In mouths, on body parts, in faces. It was a lot. The next thing was how they immediately went to the name calling and our FMC was immediately hot for it. Like....we aren't even going to warm up to it or nothing huh. Just raw dogging the word slut, and whore was wild. Definitely took some getting used to. I guess I prefer for there to be some kind of relationship first before they immediately go to the derogatory words but home girl said she liked it so I just rolled with it. The characters themselves felt pretty childish at times. Though I guess this was slightly more realistic then some of the other books. The college aged students weren't out here wilding with cold blooded parents who let them do whatever. Although it lent a very strange vibe to what was going on. Then there comes the whole reason everyone is up in arms. Part of me understands why Penelopes sister felt the way she did but another is like...come on now. That was a bit of an overreaction. It just made it seem like she had no faith in her family whatsoever. Like she just put everything on the guys and when things didn't go her way she jumped. Very strange reaction. The fact that the guys were also with Eve was kinda...weird too. Like, that thought would always be in the back of my mind if I was Penelope. Now for the things I liked. Even though it took some time we finally got to see Penelope give as good as she got! She finally seemed like an equal yo the guys who could back up what she was preaching....by the end. The story was engaging. Even though it had its moments, I still enjoyed the characters and the story telling. It kept me wanting to read even through all the spit. 
   The spice was there honey. That's one thing you definitely did not have to worry about. I give the spice a 4 out of 5. Overall, I enjoyed the story and the way that it was told. I would probably recommend this book to anyone who enjoys spicy poly romance. I'd give this a 3.5 out of 5.

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...

Bride of Brutal Hearts - ARC Review

 This book....whew. So, let me start with the things that I enjoyed. I liked the world set up. Even though things are heavily skewed in the favor of the vampires, there is still a lot of cool lore in this book. The Godstars and the craters, the magic system and runes, everything was laid out nicely for us. The way that the King of Dawn and Dusk were set up was also a nice different thing that what I was used to. Now, let's jump into some peeves. I don't really care for extreme power imbalances and this one is extreme. From the fact that Nessa starts out completely powerless to where she ends up in the end of the book. I could almost scream at how frustrating this is. I mean, the back and forth that she has in her mind where she is just all about sharing her body with them but also morally disliking them was low key exhausting. I felt for her but also girl what? Then everything that begins to unfold later one almost threw me for a loop. Like I don't know whether or not I lik...
