Buffy’s back (sort of), bitchezzzz! via GIPHY From what I’ve read on Goodreads, Slayer (Slayer #1) closely follows the Buffy comics and picks up shortly after the ending of […]

The Suffering Tree by Elle Cosimano: The Review, the Controversy

October 15, 2017 2 Comments Regina

“It’s Dark Magic Brings Him Back.” The name and the cover of this book were not appealing to me. I did, however, think that the dark synopsis was original, therefore intriguing. I did not want to be lame and judge a book by its cover, so I started reading it. Long story short, I could not put this book down. This novel was a refreshing departure from the market-driven YA books that I have been […]

Blog Review Tour: Under the Influence

May 11, 2015 0 Comments Christy

Under the Influence was a great read that had unique and interesting characters. I really liked Dalton. When things got tough he did what he had to do in order to insure wrongs were made right. Both he and Spencer came from less than desirable backgrounds. Their young lives were rough. Spencer by far lucked out when she was placed with a good family. Eventually Dalton was placed there too. It was then that Dalton […]

Release Day & Review: All the Rage by Courtney Summers

April 14, 2015 0 Comments Christy

All the Rage is written by a new to me author. The synopsis sounded really interesting so I thought I’d give it a try. For the most part I think the book was okay. It didn’t really blow me away. At times it was slow going. The suspense aspect was good, but I was easily able to figure that it out pretty easily. I found Romy to be quite a strange girl. I can’t really […]

My thoughts… First I’d like to thank Courtney Cole and Badass Marketing for the opportunity to read and review an advance copy of this book before release day. I truly appreciate your trust in me with this “secret” project. Well, I call it secret since not much has been released about it. Now onto my review. WOW! I’ll say it again. WOW! What an amazingly, wild, mind fucking ride. This story is intense, and gritty, […]

REVIEW: Take Me On by Katie McGarry

July 1, 2014 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… Take Me On is part of one of my favorite YA series. It’s well written and very enjoyable. I really liked West in the previous book and was happy that Take Me On was his book. I also really liked Haley too. She’s a very strong heroine and I think her and West made a great couple. I enjoyed sinking into their world. Even though I really enjoyed this book it took me […]

REVIEW: Happenstance by Jamie McGuire

May 28, 2014 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… This is one of those auto-buys. I honestly did not read the synopsis for this novella. I’m a big fan of Ms McGuire’s work. I absolutely loved Beautiful Disaster & Walking Disaster. So when I heard she had a new series coming out I knew I had to read it. Right away I was drawn into this story. Easter, who’s first name is Erin is one of three Erin’s in her high school […]

REVIEW: Red at Night by Katie McGarry

May 15, 2014 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… What a great novella. It’s a beautifully written short story about two high school seniors who come from different backgrounds. Way different. I found both Jonah and Stella interesting and I enjoyed slipping into their world. Even though they’ve been aware of each other for years, they’ve never been friends. That all changes in the most unlikely place. Once I started reading I couldn’t put this one down. It had me experiencing all […]

I love reading stories that draw me in and don’t let go like this one did. It’s truly mesmerizing. The characters are rich with emotions and I thought both Blue & Wilson were interesting characters. I really enjoyed getting to know them. Blue […]

A beautiful and well written love story. One that touches my heart […]

REVIEW: Find You in the Dark by A. Meredith Walters

April 10, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I’ll be honest… I sort of went into this book blindly. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into it. A couple twitter pals recommended this book so I thought I’d give it a try. Things started off great. I was enjoying the first few chapters, but then things started to change for me. Clay started acting irrational and I had a hard time accepting his behavior. I’m hoping this isn’t to spoilerish, […]

The characters and the situation they were faced were realistic. I just loved this story overall. The hero is Isaiah. He has been a secondary character in the first two books. I was so excited to get my hands on this one because I […]

Review: Sia by Josh Grayson

My thoughts… Sia. I really liked this one. It held my attention from the beginning until the end. I think both the main and secondary characters were very interesting. I loved Sia. (love her name) She wakes up on a park bench and has absolutely no idea who she is or how she got there. She’s forced to spend a week living homeless on the streets. She befriends a homeless woman named Carol who helps […]

Blog Tour & Review: Hated by Mercy Amare

September 3, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Hated is the final book in the Rock Star trilogy by Mercy Amare. I have to say that I’m a little sad that this series has come to an end. I’ve really enjoyed spending time with not only the main characters, but the secondary characters as well. This one starts off with Stephan and Scarlett being newlyweds. I don’t know why, but I had forgotten that Stephan and Scarlett tied the knot at […]

Excerpt: “You’ re so hot, and sexy. I just… I want to lick you.” I have no idea why, but I laugh. Hard. “You want to lick me?” “Yeah!” Ty nods. “Can I?” “Where?” “Right here,” he answers, motioning around us. “I don’ t care who sees.” I laugh. “No. Where would you lick me at? Like on my body.” Ty smiles. “Anywhere you want.” Hmm… I’ m liking this. “How about everywhere.” Ty looks […]

Review: Barely Breathing by Rebecca Donovan

July 23, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This is book two in the Breathing Series. I really enjoyed it. It was a really quick read for me and I’m loving this series. This book mainly focuses on the relationship between Emma and her mother Rachel. Emma wants to try and see if they can salvage their torn relationship before she heads off to college after she graduates. Right from the beginning I couldn’t understand why Rachel wanted Emma to call […]

My thoughts… This is the first book by Author Rebecca Donovan that I’ve gotten the privilege to read. I’ve read many reviews and tweets about this series, so I decided to take a chance on it. The synopsis drew me in and I couldn’t wait to get started. The loved the main characters as well as most of the secondary characters. I really liked Emma’s character. She’s a lot stronger than you would think she […]

Review: Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover

July 10, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This book was amazing. I loved it so much! Holder has got to be one of the best heroes I had the privilege to read about. Losing Hope is written in Holders POV. I know that seems to be the new thing these days. Authors writing a companion novels in the leading males POV. I’ve heard some negative things about this as well as positive. Normally the deciding factor for me is if […]

Review: Falling Into Us by Jasinda Wilder

June 23, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I loved this book. At first I was a little worried that this book wouldn’t live up to the first book. Sometimes that happens. The more I read though, the more I learned that Falling Into Us is just as amazing as book one. The story is told from both Jason & Becca’s POV. Both are secondary characters in the first book entitled Falling Into You. I loved getting to […]
