Let's Talk: Buy/Sell/Trade!

Image
     Let's Talk: Buy/Sell/Trade          BST groups have started to become a really big thing in the book world. With the coming of the Book Boxes and more people becoming invested in Special Edition books, the up tick in people joining these types of groups. There is of course the huge elephant in the room where there are those that prey on people who miss out on certain books flipping them for a big profit. This is something that is kind of an eye sore for most of the book world. It's even becoming a point of contention with some authors. We're going to dive into the good, the bad and the ugly that comes with being in these groups as well as talk about what I think the best practice should be in these types of situations.          As the world has become more online everyone is talking about FOMO. The fear of missing out has caused people to start buying and doing things that aren't necessarily needed just because it see...

Finding Her Luck Review

Image
       This was a short read and will be an even shorter review!! I liked this book!! It was spicy, it flowed and was interesting. The world that this book encompasses is such a mishmash of things. The people who our FMC come from seem to be very basic and prefer to live like things are from a more primitive time. Yet they admit that there are places where things are advanced and there is technology. So it's almost like they are Amish living on the edges of society. Then there are the Orki, which we find out are genetically engineered beings that were pretty much created to be killing machines. This world is just so fascinating!! I want to learn more!      This book was spicy!! Not like overtaking the plot kind of spicy but whew. Those scenes were definitely hot!! I'd give it a 4 out of 5. There was only a few but they did their job. Overall I gave this book a 4. Even though it was short and sweet it was a nice sweet. I didn't really want t...

Mist Guild Archive- ARC Review

Image
     This was a different take on vampires which is always refreshing. This was an ok read. There was some things I liked about this book but there was also a few issues. I'll start with what I liked! The idea of melodies is a different concept. Of course it has been explored but there has always been a mate type meaning behind it. In this story it doesn't have to be a mate. Any melody will have the same effect on a vampire. This is pretty much a built in issue for the characters to solve and I love that there can be so many different ways for this to be handled in a story. The idea of witches and warlocks who are changed into vampires feeling like a party of them dies due to their inability to feel magic like before was also a nice touch. Now onto the things I didn't quite like. The beginning of this story felt very disjointed to me. Nothing felt like it was just flowing well. It was like,  one thing happened,  chapter ended, next thing happened but...

Savage Fae Review

Image
  The way this book ended blew the other book out of the wayer!! We are on the brink of an internal war within one of the gangs and man, this has made things interesting!! We got some new reveals from the Gareth from the grave. My main suspects from the first book are the same. I still believe that the principal and Cindy Lou are involved with Gareths death. I've added rat guy as well Nightshade to that group after this book. I'm trying to stay relatively spoiler free in this review so no big time reveals but..omg. Finding out that Ryder was caught for doing something naughty previously was crazy!! I was very shocked! All the characters have begun to grow on me but none more than Leon Night! He's the sweetest little lion!! We get to get some more insight on him in this book and I was here for it. Actually we kinda got more insight on all the guys in this boom. They've all melted a little bit more for Elise. It's just been such a fun ride and I'm look...

End of The Month Wrap Up- September '23

Image
   We are here again with another End of the Month Wrap Up. It's crazy to say that I can't believe it again but we have burned through this month in a blink. I have gone on a trip and come back and here we are, at the end of the month once again!! I didn't do as much reading as I wanted to since I fell into a slump during the middle of the month. Still all of the books that I read were interesting in their own way. So let's see where all these books fell this month!       Favorite Character:   Avery- Avery from Wonder Light is my selection as favorite character of the month!! I loved that she decided to take some time for herself and do something crazy. Sometimes doing something different can be just what we need to shock our systems and can reset us. Especially when we you go through something traumatic. I also loved her location choice! Most of the places that she went to in this book are places that I also visited. Her personality was almost...

The Silence Lies

Image
    Hmm...I had high hopes for this book going in.  It's rare that you see someone write a female Don in mafia. So I was excited to see how this was going to be done and...I didn't like it. I didn't like it because it didn't feel like she had any power. She kept repeating it and those around her kept repeating it but she didn't believe it and neither did I. This also didn't have the feel of a mafia book. Like, everyone was so tied up in everyone that it didn't seem like she ever did Mafia things. It felt like an afterthought to send her to her clubs which apparently were always empty. She's never conducting any deals except when it comes to dealing with revenge. It just didn't give mafia. Luca and Levi getting together also felt kinda like outta left field. It was so random and abrupt that I literally looked at the book like wtf. Like 2 straight men just randomly kissed during an arguement. Then they easily kinda just flowed into being wi...
