Review: Ransom – Rachel Schurig

Review: Ransom – Rachel Schurig

*I received a free ARC of Ransom from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* My Ransom Review: Ransom is the kind of story I just love to read! There is a rock star and a girl who has fallen in love with him – but it’s not your typical fangirl falling for a guy she doesn’t know at all, apart from through his music. It also features a friends to lovers part, which is one of my favorite contemporary romance tropes. I always enjoy reading about two close friends who realize they want to be much more than friends, but who are afraid to take the first step because the friendship is so important to them. Daisy is a […]

Review: Searching for Perfect – Jennifer Probst

Review: Searching for Perfect – Jennifer Probst

*I received a free ARC of Searching for Perfect from Gallery Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* My Searching for Perfect Review: Searching for Perfect is about Kennedy, who is trying her best to stay professional, even if that means she cannot even flirt a little bit with the sexy rocket scientist Nathaniel. Fate, however, seems to have decided otherwise, and Nate is ready to everything he can to make Ken’s perfect and cold-ish façade crack so that she might fall for him too. Second in the Searching For series, Searching for Perfect is a quick, fun and sexy read, it’s got a straight-forward plot, with likable characters and just enough intrigue to make it difficult for […]

Review: Tease – Amanda Maciel

Review: Tease – Amanda Maciel

*I received a free ARC of Tease from Hachette Children’s Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest and unbiased review* My Tease Review Tease is a hard story to read, for several reasons, one being that it is about bullying taken so far the victim takes her own life. The other thing that made it hard to read is that the whole story in Tease is from the point of view of one of the young girls who bullied Emma until she could no longer take it. And while I think it’s both interesting and courageous to write a book about bullying from that point of view, I think it also made it harder to actually connect with the […]

Review: The Siren (Original Sinners #1) – Tiffany Reisz

Review: The Siren (Original Sinners #1) – Tiffany Reisz

My The Siren Review The Siren is both quite horrifying, strangely beautiful, enticing, beautiful, scary, hot and delicious all the while making me feel slightly guilty for enjoying it so much! The prose is nothing short of amazing, and I think that is what made me love it so much, because even during a scene that disturbed me a little, the writing was so beautiful I still loved it. And Nora, she is definitely a heroine in every sense of the word! One thing I really loved in The Siren is that Nora is an author, and Zach her editor. And I have to say I enjoyed the e-mails going back and forth between them, with Zach telling her to […]
