Twisted Complications (Finding My Home Book 3) by Nikita Parmenter

 

There’s something strange going on at the academy. The longer they’re there the more dark and twisted secrets start to be exposed somehow they’re at the heart of it. Between the unusual courses, helping Atlas with his jobs and a dangerous mystery that could put all their lives at stake, they still find time for each other and Evers starting to realise that the guys were holding back, now they’ve said they’re all in there’s no stopping them.

She loves it, but that’s not the only thing they’ve been holding back on.

Their darkness might just rival hers and isn’t that a deliciously dangerous realisation?

I've been waiting for this book to come out since January. I initially thought this book wouldn't come out until sometime next year because of author's deadline with her other series but once she announced that she was working on it and there was a possible release date on Amazon. I got excited like christmas morning and birthday celebration wrapped up in one excited. Fast forward to release day and I spent my morning and afternoon reading. I just wanted to focus my time just reading this gem.  This book does not disappoint. The story continues nicely from the previous two books in the series. There are some typos, small grammer issue and a small discrepancy with the name of the secondary character's girlfriend. But other than that, this book hits on some many levels. The ending got me, I was shocked and shook! I can not wait for book 4.

 Brava to the author, Nikita Parmenter!

And as always Happy Reading!

Big Boned by Jo Watson

 

Can she be herself in a one-size-fits-all world?

 Lori Palmer is the new girl at Bay Water High, where students prize glossy hair, “beach” bodies, and thigh gaps above all else, which is so not her. She misses her old school, where her artistic talent was more important to her peers than a chia smoothie recipe ever was.

Uncomfortable in her own size-sixteen skin, Lori decides to survive senior year as best she can by blending into the background while she melts in the summer heat. But her plans go completely awry when she discovers popular jock Jake volunteering at her brother Zac’s school. When her brother befriends Jake’s sister, Lori is suddenly thrust into Jake’s unfamiliar world of water polo, parties, and stargazing.

As she grows closer to Jake, and her relationship with her mother starts to deteriorate, Lori’s old anxieties resurface and she throws herself into her art. It’s a wildly new direction for Lori, and through it she realizes that finding her voice might get her into a world of trouble, but standing up for what she believes in is as important as standing up for herself.

Lori is big girl who is struggling with her body. She hates the way she looks add on  her struggles to fit in at her new school with also dealing with her parents recent divorce. This book deals with alot of issues and somehow made it clear cut and not confusing to follow.

  It's written in British English, so the flow is different than most but once you get the rhythm it's easy to comprehend.  I will say there were times when my attention drifted and I got a little bored other than that it's a good story. And a really good read. 

Thanks Netgalley and Wattspad for the opportunity to read it.

And as always.... Happy Reading!!!

WITH THIS RING BY CARLA KELLY

 same story, different covers

Major Disaster...

It was clear to Lydia Perkins from the first that she was courting scandal when she became involved with Major Samuel Reed. This outrageously impudent officer kept deplorable company in dismal surroundings beyond the boundaries of polite society. Even worse, he was shamelessly, sinfully penniless.

To keep him company would ruin Lydia's already slim chances in the marriage mart. To listen to the shocking proposal he made to her would spell ruin to her good name. To run away with him in a mockery of marriage on a honeymoon journey through the wilds of England was the ultimate folly for a young lady whose family demanded she wed both wisely and well.

Could Lydia say "I do" and accept the Major for better or for worse, or would she risk losing the only man who had ever captured her heart?

This book was amazing!!!!!!! 

Seeing the heroine's growth from a shy maiden to a ball buster was so good. The hero hands down was absolutely one of the most charming and witty hero, I've had the pleasure to read from the very beginning to the very end. Ms. Kelly wrote a great read with such wit and feeling that I wish the book wouldn't end. *sighs* 

There is a lot I could say about this book but I think I'll let you find out for yourself.

And I Hope you enjoy it too

And as always……Happy Reading!!:)

Breaking Badger (The Honey Badger Chronicles)

 It’s instinct that drives Finn Malone to rescue a bunch of hard battling honey badgers. The Siberian tiger shifter just can’t bear to see his fellow shifters harmed. But no way can Finn have a houseful of honey badgers when he also has two brothers with no patience. Things just go from bad to worse when the badgers rudely ejected from his home turn out to be the only ones who can help him solve a family tragedy. He’s just not sure he can even get back into the badgers’ good graces. Since badgers lack graces of any kind . . . 

Mads knows her teammates aren’t about to forgive the cats that were so rude to them, but moody Finn isn’t so bad. And he’s cute! The badger part of her understands Finn’s burning need to avenge his father’s death—after all, vengeance is her favorite pastime. So Mads sets about helping Finn settle his family’s score, which has its perks, since she gets to avoid her own family drama. Besides, fighting side by side with Finn is her kind of fun—especially when she can get in a hot and heavy snuggle with her very own growling, eye-rolling, and utterly irresistible kitty-cat . . .

Felt like I was jumping from one storyline to the next to rapidly. Lacks the strong character building of early works. And as a fan of Ms. Laurenston’s work, her characters this time failed to grab my attention and keep it. I was honestly wondering if this was somebody else’s writing because it just read so different. But that’s not why you are here, is this a good read or worth it? Its not good but its an okay read. You might have to force yourself to get through it. Has some fun and entertaining moments but not enough to really engage. Well I hope you enjoy it better than I did.

And as always Happy Reading!!

Is Reader's Slump even a thing?!

 Yes, it is!

    So, I've been in a reader's slump. Nothing's grabbing or keeping my attention. In the last four days, I've reread three books and started eight. 

    This slump sucks because I don't know, if its because I'm waiting for a book to come out or I've read myself into a corner. And I hope its not the corner one because that would be sad and it means I would have to pause on the reading till my obsession with books kicks back in. Plus I do have a couple of books that I have to review in the next couple of weeks. Books, I was very excited to receive but now don't even grab my interest. *le sigh* Now if its the waiting for books to come out then again I will have to stop reading because my obsession/ focus is on this one or in my case several books that will be coming out in the next couple of months. Since I am not a writer, I don't which block is worst, writer's or reader's? But I do know they are both very annoying. I have been pushing through.

     I did finally get a book that grabbed my attention and kept it till the end. So Yay!!! but I do hope this slump doesn't stay around long cause I'm tired of it already.

Well, as always Happy Reading!! …..Lucky!

Den of Vipers by K.A Knight

 Disclaimer: 18+ Reverse Harem Romance. Warning this book contains scenes and references of abuse/assault that some readers may find triggering. Along with graphic sex scenes and violence. This is a dark book.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel—The Vipers.

They run this town and everyone in it. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses.

Yes, sold me.

They own me now.

I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant. These men, they look at me with longing. Their scarred, blood-stained hands holding me tight. They want everything I am, everything I have to give, and won’t stop until they get just that. They can own my body, but they will never have my heart.

The Vipers? I’m going to make them regret the day they took me.

This girl? She bites too.

   

   This book was exactly what I needed. Some times you just need a dangerous read to mix in with all the happy and regular reads. The story was filled with action, revenge, suspense, and bloodshed. Throughout the story you fall in love with each anti-hero even though you know what kind of activities they dabble in. But the heroine was definitely the star of the story. This is a very dark mob/criminal activity romantic reverse harem book but it's a really great read definitely a five-star book.

Hope you enjoy it, too! 

And as always Happy Reading!!!

A Reread: Stray (Shifters #1) by Rachel Vincent

     

 I thought this was going to be an okay read but it surpassed it. Really was a good read. I enjoyed each character. The heroine, no words can describe how much I adored this girl. She's a fighter and I think that's might be, what I love most about her.

"The moment the door opened I knew an ass-kicking was inevitable. Whether I’d be giving it or receiving it was still a bit of a mystery."

The story:  

     Faythe is not your typical college student, she's a werecat. And trying to live her life the way she deems, but her dad/alpha and obligations to her pride are making it hard for her to do so. Until an attack but after a stray attacks her at school her, forcing her back home and into the overprotectiveness of her pride. But what they don't understand that she is stronger than she looks.

"You can pretend you're one of the guys all you want, but that means I outrank you. We all outrank you. And no tomcat would get away with punching me."

This book is highly explanatory. You'll understand it quickly at times you might actually want her to shut up but it helps understand it more. The fighting could have been more climatic but hopefully her other books are.

AND AS ALWAYS..... HAPPY READING!!! :)

HAPPY NATIONAL BOOK LOVERS DAY

 

I hope you get to enjoy a book today.
