The Dominant (The Submissive Trilogy, #2) by Tara Sue Me

The Dominant by Tara Sue Me
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I think it is because I am in the life style that i found so many errors with this book, maybe if i was a bored vanilla housewife (not that there is anything wrong with being that) I would of thought this book was kinky & exciting.
Instead i found this book completely and utterly ridiculous.
I sighed, I rolled my eyes, I got angry, I considered poking my eyes out... maybe even smashing my kindle into my face so i would never have to read drivel like this again all while reading this book.
I would recommend this to no-one, I would recommend if you are given it as a gift, using it as a paper weight or doorstop.. do not waste a second of your life reading this!

I also recommend it as kindling..

Hard to Love by Kendall Ryan

Hard to Love by Kendall Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cover & title - four out five
Favorite Quote - “I’m sick of everyone thinking I’m Miss Goody Two-shoes, with my perfect grades, and days of the week panties. You know what? I have my Wednesdays on today—it’s Saturday—and that’s a pretty sad way of rebelling, huh?”
Favorite Character - Alexa

This was a really cute story, lots of emotions and micro dramas to keep me hooked. The book was far to short for my liking, I wanted more! The characters even with their faults appealed to me and i liked them all. I was so pleased with how everything worked out and the epilogue was the icing on the proverbial cake, fantastic stuff!

I would recommend this and I will continue reading all the books that this author releases as I have enjoyed them all so far!

One Step Too Far by Tina Seskis

One Step Too Far by Tina Seskis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found myself connected to Emily, it is such an interesting idea and she goes through so much during the story.. through so many emotions that i couldn't help but feel like i was living it with her.
I was deeply involved in the story, I think you really have to be, a hell of a lot goes on and things can change in a second. I ended up re-reading a few bits to make sure i was fully comprehending what was going on.
I was rather concerned about reading out of my comfort zone but i did not need to worry really, it was an interesting, gripping and emotion story. I would recommend it and i would read more in the future by this author.

The Elite by Kiera Cass

The Elite by Kiera Cass
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cover & title - 4 out of 5
Favorite quote - "It's the most wonderful and terrible thing that can ever happen to you," she said simply. "You know that you've found something amazing, and you want to hold on to it forever; and every second after you have it, you fear the moment you might lose it."
I sighed softly. She was absolutely right. Love was beautiful fear.”
Favorite character - Aspen

I wonder if it is wrong to admit though i did really enjoy the book I really did not like America? I did not like Maxon either actually now i think about it.
Considering i just admitted to not liking the main characters it is surprising that i rated it 4 stars but that is just how good it was!

“It wasn’t like I made his world better. It was like I was his world. It wasn’t some explosion; it wasn’t fireworks. It was a fire, burning slowly from the inside out.” 

I have not read the first book but i really wish i had now, i think that would of connected to the leads better and maybe help me understand more about the world that the book is based in.
The entire book i felt like i was on a see-saw. Aspen - Maxon, then back again. This sort of behavior normally would put me off a book completely, maybe even cause me to stop reading it but I could not put this book down!
It did not feel like a YA book, or childish, it was just right.
I would recommend it to everyone, but make sure to read the first book!

Ink (Paper Gods, #1) by Amanda Sun

Ink by Amanda Sun
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cover & Title - five out of five, cover love for sure.
Favorite Line - “They tell you you'll forget how it used to be. You'll get used to it, that it's better to move on. They don't realize you can't. You're not the same person anymore.”
Favorite Character - Tomohiro

“How do you win when you're up against yourself?”

I must start with this because i feel it is the most important part of my review. I felt too old for this book. I am almost positive if i was a teen i would of enjoyed the story more & rated it higher.

So, now that has been said, I liked this book & i thought the concept was rather unique. The book contained a lot of things to hold my attention, I was not "hooked" by the story but i enjoyed it.
It was a good teenage urban fantasy style drama, lots of things that at my age i found hard to relate to now, I would recommend it to females under the age of 18.

Damaged (Damaged, #1) by H.M. Ward

Damaged by H.M. Ward
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cover & title - 4 out of 5
Favorite Quote - “Being normal is overrated. Normal gets you what—the dolt husband with the 2.5 kids and the house with the dog? You seriously want that? I mean, one of those kids is going to be really funny looking, by the way, all cut in half like that. Who wants half a kid?”
Favorite character - Sydney

Okay, first thing.. i do not think the ending is a cliff hanger..

cliff·hang·er
/ˈklifˌhaNGər/
Noun
An ending to an episode of a serial drama that leaves the audience in suspense.
A story or event with a strong element of suspense.

I was not left with the feeling of suspense.. at all.

I found this book rather frustrating.
I did not manage to "click" with Sydney, she had a few plus points but not enough that I liked her. I really dislike the fact the author did not know her characters name, it constantly changed throughout the book - this drove me nuts.
I kinda thought her friend Millie was a bit of a bitch.. not my idea of a friendship for sure.
I found the way the relationship was "handled" rather stupid. The back and forth, on, off.. whatever.. it did not work for me most of the time.
In the end i did want them to be ok, the relationship to work out, for a bit of positive but in the first book of a series like this i realize i was expecting too much.
It was a quick read and that was a plus, if it had dragged out I would of rated it lower than i did. I also did not want to stop reading so that shows the story wasn't half bad. I will read the next in the series.. to see how things work out and if the writing improves.

Would i recommend it? I really do not know. It wasnt bad but.. I just do not think i can tell someone to spend their money on something i am so undecided about.

Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X, #1) by Richelle Mead

Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was unsure what to expect when i started this book, the main reason I wanted this book was the author. Every book written by Richelle Mead which i read i have enjoyed and this book is no exception.

The story is based in a futuristic dystopia, it liked the concept as I am a huge fan of dystopia. The world itself seemed really interesting, i looking forward to discovering more about it in future books.
I found the characters engaging, flawed & complicated. Mae was my type of protagonist, I enjoyed her a lot. I thought the secondary characters held their own and added greatly to the story.
The story its self kept me guessing, held my attention and entertained me. I was absorbed in the story very quickly.
The writing sucked me in, even though i felt somethings could of been explained sooner or even better a few times, I still found myself a part of the story.

"No one ever expects the knife"

I would recommend this book & I am already looking forward to the next books in the series.

The Accidental Demon Slayer (Demon Slayer, #1) by Angie Fox

The Accidental Demon Slayer by Angie Fox
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I did not really enjoy the majority of this book, I found it all a bit scattered.. disjointed.. unbelievable.. at times even down right silly. I realize the story is a fantasy.. so it is allowed to rather farcical but there were times when i actually shook my head, put the book down and considered not continuing at all. Lizzie is not even an interesting or funny character.. i found her very annoying.
The dog was however funny and i liked him.. he was probably the only plus in the entire book.

Dare You To (Pushing the Limits, #2) by Katie McGarry

Dare You To by Katie McGarry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cover & Title - 4 out of 5
Favorite Quotes - “How many more of us are faking the facade? How many more of us are pretending to be something we're not? Even better, how many of us will have the courage to be ourselves regardless of what others think?”
Favorite Character - Ryan

“That must be love: when everything else in the world could implode and you wouldn't care as long as you had that one person standing beside you.”

This book, completely blew me away. I knew i was going like this book, I hoped i was going to love this book.
This book, much like the first in the series was magnificent. I fell in love with the story, I fell in love with the characters & I loved the feelings that me book produced in me.
The story was fantastic, I was completely engrossed in it, I did not want to stop reading it - ever.
I smiled, I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I went through so many emotions during it I thought my head might explode!
The books in the series are like light rays of hope to me, they make me believe in a happy ending no matter what... and i love that. Bravo to the author.
I encourage anyone and everyone to read them.

Soul Stripper (Soul Stripper, #1) by Katana Collins

Soul Stripper by Katana Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cover & Title - five out of five. Love it completely.
Favorite Line - "Coffee is a lot like people. In many ways, its deceiving. The sweetness that you smell as it brews is more often than not a fallacy."
Favorite Character - Monica

I was rather nervous about reading this book, it had some awesome reviews already but I have read and really enjoyed another Succubus based series, I was worried it would be a copy. So I started this book with my fingers crossed and i hoped for the best.
I really had nothing to worry about, it was completely different! The set up, the story, the characters all new, interesting and totally captivating. Once i started this book last night I was hooked from the get go. It was like a dirty mystery with a paranormal twist. The sex was H.O.T, i loved the way the author wrote it, I felt like i was right there too. The mystery element had me guessing right up to the end which was just fantastic, I love surprises.
I would recommend this book and i am REALLY looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Unbeautifully (Undeniable, #2) by Madeline Sheehan

Unbeautifully by Madeline Sheehan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cover & Title - 4 out of 5
Favorite Quote - "Rainstorms were unpredictable, they were riddled with surprises, messy and wet; they were something you had no control over."
Favorite Character - Ripper

"Nothing from here on out would ever again be the same."

*sighs* This series is such a complete mind fuck.
I loved this book as much as i loved the first one, it just as the first did, left me reeling. Complete spent. It was a rollercoaster ride and i loved every second!

"We existed in a world where words weren't needed"

I recommend having the tissues ready for this one. It is fast paced, high emotion, high drama and the sex is HOT.
Prepare for the ride of your life ;)

The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay

The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cover & Title - 4 out of 5
Favorite Character - Nastya

I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck. I am pressed so hard against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I am still able to lift my feet to walk.



I started this book with high expectations, ridiculously high. I have been putting off reading it for ages because of how much praise it had received, I didnt not want to be let down.
I finally got some free time to pick it up, a train journey (Glasgow to London). I could tell right from the start... i would say maybe from even the first page that this book was not going to be a disappointment. I started this book & i did not put it down, I am glad i could concentrate on this completely because everything around me faded once i had begun.
The story is not clear, it is not fast paced & it is not what i expected. Yet i absolutely loved it!



I can see why so many people rated it five stars but never wrote a review. It is a seriously hard book to review without spoilers so i am not even going to summarize it just in case i ruin it.
What i can say is, do not read this in front of people if you do not want them to think you are insane. Have tissues handy also.
Be prepared to laugh, smile, cry & maybe even weep. Expect your heart to hurt afterwards and for you to feel like your life has changed slightly.


Beautiful, heart wrenching, moving & mind blowing!

Favorite Line -
“It’s about the dream of second chances,” he says finally. He hasn’t raised his eyes from the paper on his desk and I feel him looking at me without looking when he uses his grandfather’s words. “The narrator doesn’t respect the beauty of life and the world around her, so it crushes her into the ground and once she’s dead, she realizes everything she took for granted and didn’t see right in front of her while she was alive. She’s begging for another chance to live again so she can appreciate it this time.”
“And does she get that chance?” she asks Josh while I desperately focus on the poster of literary terms on the wall and wait for absolution. When it comes, I barely hear it.
“She does.”

I would recommend this book & I would read more by this author.

The Stranger (Just One Night, Part 1)

The Stranger by Kyra Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"His eyes don't just move over me, they consume me."

Hot hot hot! The chemistry between them was amazing! Straight off the bat i knew i was going to love them together.

"I bend my head and softly bite his shoulder; I suck on his neck, I want to devour him even as he consumes me"

The sex scenes just get better as the book goes on!

"You're a concealed weapon. A pistol hidden inside an Hermes handbag"

Kasie is such an interesting character, i loved her! You can just tell there is so much depth to her, so much more to discover.. i cannot wait to read the next book!

"What a seductive little liar you are"

I was so shocked by the ending, i was left desperate for more!
I cannot wait to read the next book.. to find out what happens..
Amazing. Loved it!

I would recommend & plan on reading more by this author.

A Shimmer of Angels

A Shimmer of Angels by Lisa M. Basso
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cover & title - four out of five
Favorite line - “What would angel lips taste like? Sunshine? Marshmallows? Or something altogether different? Maybe buttered-popcorn jelly beans.”
Favorite character - Kade

When i started this book i was wondering if it was going to be too young for me, if i would be able to read a book aimed for reader much younger than myself. I was pleasantly surprised with it. Yes i did feel it was clearly a book for children or young adults but this did not stop me enjoying it. The drama and content was interesting and a different take from the other angel books i have read.
The protagonist did get on my nerves a bit in the beginning but by about half way through i was on her side and forgave her crazy teenage drama.
The love or romance part of the story is very minor so i think it could be enjoyed by males to and not be classed as too girly ;)
The ending was a complete surprise and left me wanting more!

I would recommend this book and i plan on reading more by this author :)

My Lord Immortality (Immortal Rogues, #3) by Alexandra Ivy

My Lord Immortality by Alexandra Ivy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cover & title - 4 out of 5
Favorite line - "You will not lose me, Amelia. I intend to devote an eternity to loving you" She tilted back her head of offer him a tearful smile. "Only an eternity?"
Favorite Character - Amelia

Actual rating - 3.5 out of 4, i rounded up.

I started this book not realizing it was a historical paranormal romance (what a genre, ha!) and since i never read historical books (by choice) i was seriously worried i was going to hate it. Strangely enough i didn't, i guess this is because it wasn't too historical. Another strange thing was enjoying a book with no nookie in it! This book was a seriously case of good clean fun but not in a bad way :)
The story is in a series but i read it as a stand alone, i think anyone could :)

I would recommend people who enjoy light romance & historical paranormal
