A Twisted History

Image
    I currently am unsure of how to feel about this book. The FMC is smart but dumb at the same time. She's privileged, which allows her to make silly mistakes. She's computer smart but also.... kinda technology stupid? Does that even make sense? As the daughter of a mob boss she's had the ability to do what she wants, when she wants,  however she wants. She's smart enough with computers that she wrote a crazy code that is the crux of the problem in this book and yet.... she didn't think to ditch her phone when she was hiding from her dad? Like, he still had your number, he can still track you. Then on top of that she also kept her car. Which pride wouldn't allow her to just dump. I get it, it has sentimental value but girl,  your dad and everyone in your world will know its you as soon as they see your car. So instead of getting a different car, she drives that one around after her dad attempted to kill her. Then is surprised when she's tracked ...

Let's Talk: Special Book Editions

Image
                       Welcome to my Ted Talk, lol just kidding, welcome to my blog where the love of books is the main thing that I promote here! Today we are going to talk about Special Editions!! I've just gotten into the world of special editions and how they can be so easy to turn a SE from something that is amazing to something that can get you torn apart. Books are something that  is very sacred to those who love them so when Book Box companies decide to take these on they take on a big undertaking. There are so many different things for them to consider when trying to make a good SE! I truly tip my hat to them! So I wanna know, what do you do with your SE's? How do you decide on displaying them? Do you read them? I need to know the deets!!               So, I'm going to answer some of my own questions. First, I never was a big collector after the ebooks came ...

End of the Month Wrap Up- July 23

Image
   Another month down!! Can you believe we are already closer to the end of the year then the end?! I sure can't believe it. This month is going to be action packed! I have some ARCs that I will be reading and this month marks the beginning of me bringing back my blog post!! I'm going to try to spend more of my down time having some nice topics for us to discuss!! As for now, I'm going to go ahead and give you fine folks a recap of the month of July!!        I   really enjoyed all 10 of these books! Everything has flowed for me this month with these reads. They all called to me when it was time for me to read them. But time for the big moment, time to pick the books in these categories: Spiciest book, Best Storyline, Favorite Character, Author of the Month and Book of the Month. Spiciest Book: Glitch- This book burned me every time I turned the page! It was nice and I felt very connected to Ara when I read this book since I am a big gamer and I...

Completing the Circle

Image
     I just finished the third book in Alpha Compound series by Anna Fury, Wide Awake. This book was about Brady, Conner and Carmen. I didn't really connect with this book like I feel like I connected with the others. I guess maybe it felt insta lovish? Especially since they were essentially being intimate almost from the time they met.  Like I have no issues with that in a book but I feel like I didn't get a chance to enjoy them getting to know each other.  The other books in this series flesh out the relationship between the characters a lot better.  Again I think that's because Carmen was joining an already established mating. I did enjoy learning more about the omegas and getting more info on the other packs.  I really want to see if we get a series on some of them.  Especially Tyler since we see them interacting with Mitchell's pack the most. There was some plot movement and set up but I feel like it all happened on the tail end o...

Control is Key

Image
      Control is key for Rice and her men in this second book of the Shadowblood Souls series.  They've lived their lives as experiments not knowing the extent of what they could do. As new powers develop they try to learn control. I enjoyed seeing Riva and her men essentially try to come to terms with each other.  There is still a lot of hurt and pain for each of them to deal with and it's not that everything isn't rushed and swept under the rug. Riva actually tries to figure out her feelings for each of the men and ends up being with at least 2 of them by the end of the book. We see a lot of prejudice from other shadowbloods due to them being half bloods. They seem to have all the strength but none of the drawbacks. I loved that we got to see how that was dealt with and how they are going to go on moving forward. The cliffhanger that this book left is on is insane!! Like I was hoping something like this would happen but at the same time I'm sh...

Dragons!! Oh my!!

Image
   I want to start this review by saying that I liked this book. A three star from me is average.  Like I don't hate it but it's probably not one that's going to be super stand out in my memory. With that being said, I have this book a 3. Mainly because I have some issues believing some of what happens. I like the storyline and seeing Jenna have to reconcile with the fact that she's actually what she's been trained and conditioned to kill. The relationship she has with her brother dives through this whole story. It's beautiful. I can completely relate to her with her love of the sea as well. I live on the coast so seeing,  smelling and just being near the ocean has been ingrained in me since birth. But.... after she meets the dragons and everything that happens after is.... not as believable for me.  So this will have spoilers just FYI. Skip to the last paragraph of you want to avoid spoilers.       So, why do I say it's unbelieva...

Parental Drama

Image
      This book is the first in a series for the Ardelean Wolves and it is a slower paced book than I'm used to. It's heavily plot driven without letting that stop you from enjoying the book. There is spice in this book but it definitely takes a back seat to everything else happening.  We have Thalia whose life is being threatened because of a political stance by her mother. She had her whole life uprooted as she is protected by Cade, a former military man. We get a front seat to seeing how she starts to fall for Cade but insecurities are rampant in her mind. She feels that they are later validated when she finds out that one again politics is taking advantage of her life. It's not enough to stop the feelings that she's grown to have for Cade and they eventually get back together. I liked Thalia and could relate to her when it came to having insecurities about yourself despite what others may say. Her thirst for knowledge and her ability to accept pe...
