Review: Crash Into You (Pushing the Limits #3) – Katie McGarry

Review: Crash Into You (Pushing the Limits #3) – Katie McGarry

*I received a free ARC of Crash Into You from Harlequin Teen via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.* If you thought Isaiah was the best bad-boy out there in Pushing the Limits, you’ll adore him in Crash Into You! Of course, bad boy is relative, it has to do with the way people see him more than anything else! Rachel doesn’t really care all that much about appearances, though, especially because it seems like that is the only thing that matters for her family. And her four brothers aren’t really any better than her parents when it comes to that. This might become a very gushing review, because I was so excited when I got an e-mail telling […]

Review: The Iron Traitor (The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #2) – Julie Kagawa

Review: The Iron Traitor (The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #2) – Julie Kagawa

*I received a free ARC of The Iron Traitor from Harlequin Teen via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Iron Traitor bears it’s name very aptly! And it completely and utterly broke my poor, poor heart. But in a good way. Yeah, my heart can actually be completely be shattered in a good way, it seems, I had no idea that was even possible until I finished The Iron Traitor. Please forgive me for starting with the end – there’s one of those cliffhangers where you just wonder what you just read – and how the heck that can be the last page of the book! But for once, I actually wasn’t upset about the cliffie. Ethan and […]

Review: Targeted (Deadly Ops #1) – Katie Reus

Review: Targeted (Deadly Ops #1) – Katie Reus

*I received a free ARC of Targeted from Penguin Group Berkley via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Targeted is an extremely fast-paced romantic thriller, with awesome characters, an exciting plot and some very hot and steamy scenes as well. Sophie and Jack has a lot of things working against them, especially that little detail from Jack’s past, the one where his name wasn’t Jack, and he was Sophie’s first boyfriend. And the only boy she’d ever loved. When Jack is sent to Miami to find out more about a medical company that seems to be involved with drug and arms trafficking, he doesn’t want to go at first, because he feels that seeing Sophie again is the biggest […]

Review: Life in Outer Space – Melissa Keil

Review: Life in Outer Space – Melissa Keil

*I received a free ARC of Life in Outer space from Peachtree Publishers via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Life in Outer Space is a hilarious story about Sam and his nerdy, outcast friends, and their life in highschool. The jocks never miss an opportunity to torment Sam, but Mike, Adrian and Allison always have his back. He’s contemplating moving fast-forward through his life until his forties because everything sucks so much. The popular kids picking at him in school is one thing, but coming home to the big wall of silence between his parents, and his mom’s tears makes it difficult for him to actually be home, too. A self-professed movie-geek, straight A student and great friend, […]

Blogtour, Giveaway and Review: The Holdout – Laurel Osterkamp

Blogtour, Giveaway and Review: The Holdout – Laurel Osterkamp

*I received a free ARC of The Holdout from IFB Blog Tours in exchange of an honest review* Welcome to my stop on The Holdout Blogtour! I’m sharing a review and some of my favorite quotes, and let me just start by letting you know I really enjoyed this story, even if I’m not a huge fan of reality TV, it was nice to kind of see the other side of what happens and how people can get really caught up in things when they are far away from home, living with strangers and being filmed at all times. The readers meet and get to know Robin quite well, and the story switches from flash-backs from her time on the […]

Review: The Next Best Thing – Kristan Higgins

Review: The Next Best Thing – Kristan Higgins

*I received a free ARC of The Next Best Thing from Harlequin HQN via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Next Best Thing is the story about Lucy, the young widow and Ethan, her brother-in-law. Yeah, that right there is a little weird to me, but not so much that I couldn’t overlook it. Ethan is a very decent character, and Lucy has been a widow for a long time. Also, she got to know Ethan before she met Jimmy. There were some other things I had trouble with, though, so I didn’t enjoy The Next Best Thing as much as I thought I would when I read the blurb and requested the ARC. In some ways, it […]

Review: Friends to Lovers (Aisle Bound #3) – Christi Barth

Review: Friends to Lovers (Aisle Bound #3) – Christi Barth

*I received a free eARC of Friends to Lovers from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Friends to Lovers is the kind of love story I love to read, two people are best friends, hang out with each other all the time, get along, have the same interests and then… there is more feelings than they thought they had for each other. Gib and Daphne have been friends for several years, and for all that time, Daphne has hidden her true feelings for Gib, because he’s truly not the kind of guy who’d ever have a real relationship with a woman. He’s more the love them and leave them kind of man, and that’s OK since […]

Review: The Cutting Room Floor – Dawn Klehr

Review: The Cutting Room Floor – Dawn Klehr

*I received a free eARC of The Cutting Room Floor from Flux via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Cutting Room Floor is a fast-paced mystery that’s frankly quite creepy in places. At the same time, the way it’s written, with comparisons to movies, and actual scenes, director’s notes and fade-outs really appeals to me. The characters are well done too, and it’s Dez who is narrating the whole story, even if it seems as if Riley is the actual main character. Tricky that, right? And I actually really love it when there’s a narrator who I just know will be unreliable. It makes the story that more interesting in my opinion. So, The Cutting Room starts with […]

Blogtour, Giveaway and Review: In Harmony (Fenbrook Academy #2) – Helena Newbury

Blogtour, Giveaway and Review: In Harmony (Fenbrook Academy #2) – Helena Newbury

*I received a free eARC of In Harmony from IFB Blogtours in exchange of an honest review* In Harmony is a pretty amazing story in several of its aspects. I loved that it focused so much on music, I could almost hear it when Karen and Connor played, and it’s something I’d buy if it existed for real. I really enjoyed Karen, she started out feeling awkward and different from her friends, and she really only had her cello on her mind – which is understandable in some ways. However, when she starts to open up to the world around her, she makes some pretty amazing discoveries. Although In Harmony is the second book in the Fenbrook Academy series, I […]

Blogtour and Review: Sanctuary – Pauline Creeden

Blogtour and Review: Sanctuary – Pauline Creeden

*I received a free ARC of Sanctuary from IFB Blog Tours in exchange of an honest review* When I read the blurb for Sanctuary, and the bio Pauline Creeden has on her web page, I was intrigued! I don’t read a lot of Christian themed stories, but the few I have read, I have appreciated, and I thought I’d enjoy the inclusion of biblical stories in a young adult dystopian. Sanctuary is about a main character whose name is Jennie, she is nineteen, and at the beginning of the book she’s quite self-involved, as a lot of late teens can be. Even after aliens arrive at Earth, with most of the water poisoned, and one third of the population dead, […]
