Review: If You Could be Mine – Sara Farizan

*I received a free ARC of If You Could Be Mine from Algonquin Young Readers via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* If You Could be Mine is a very sweet story about two young Iranian women. They have known each other their whole lives, as their mothers were best friends as well. When they were six years old, Sahar realized she really loved Nasrin, and she even told her mother. Her mother quietly told her never to speak of that again, and that this is just not natural at all. When Sahar’s mother dies and she finds herself alone with her father, she spends a lot of time studying, because she wants to be able to go to […]

Blogtour Review: Gravity (Mageri #4) – Dannika Dark

Blogtour, Review and Giveaway! *I received a free ARC of Gravity from Enchantress of Books Blogtour in exchange of an honest review * In Gravity, Silver has to make some tough decisions in order to make sure the people she loves will stay safe. And she is ready to walk the walk! I have to admit I was a little frustrated with Silver because she did what her blackmailer told her to so very easily. While I can understand why she did it, I would have loved to be surprised by Silver – in that she told someone close to her what was up, so she could spare herself and others some heart-ache. Of course, there was a lot of […]

Review: Head over Heels – Cindy Procter-King

*I received a free ARC of Head over Heels from Amber Quill Press LLC via Netgalley in exhcange of an honest review* Head over Heels is a contemporary romance, featuring Magee (whose name we’re told how to pronounce several times…) and Justin. The story starts with Justin’s girlfriend Tina breaking up with him, because she wants marriage, babies and the whole package after dating him for six months.

Review: Lust for Life (WVMP Radio #4) – Jeri Smith-Ready

Review: Lust for Life (WVMP Radio #4) – Jeri Smith-Ready

Lust for Life is the fourth and last installment in the WVMP Radio series. I kept it unopened on my kindle for a very long time, because this is another series I just don’t want to end! The ending, however is absolutely perfect! There is still mystery, surprises, love, friendship, loyalty, courage and romance. Lust for Life is really action-packed, but there are still some tender moments between Ciara and Shane. They are both still training with Control, even if they don’t like having to do that at all. Jim is in retirement after he tried to kill Ciara, and strange things are happening at their favorite bar. The story starts with a huge bang! There’s an anonymous bomb threat […]

Review: Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) – Katie McGarry

Review: Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) – Katie McGarry

Pushing the Limits is the kind of book that makes me feel both lucky and happy I’m a reader! I was totally immersed in the story from the first sentence, and it only kept getting better and better! I fell in love with both Echo and Noah from the very start, and they never ceased to amaze me! These two broken teens, struggling with demons from their past, with trying to reclaim normal, had never talked to each other before they were forced to work together. They both needed something the other could give, but none of them were giving freely at first. Pushing the Limits really is a story about just that – pushing limits, giving the best of […]

Review: The Other Side of Us – Sarah Mayberry

Review: The Other Side of Us – Sarah Mayberry

When I picked up The Other Side of Us for free on amazon, I thought I’d get a light, slick romance. Something hot that would just take a couple of hours to read, then be forgotten… What I got was a profound story about two broken characters, a beautiful narrative about hope, fighting for your life, and love. I fell in love with both Oliver and MacKenzie, they were both trying to patch their lives back together, and their first meeting really didn’t go well. However, they were both willing to look past that first meeting, and when they started to get to know each other they realized that having someone they could share their doubts and dreams with was […]

Review: Tight Quarters (Strangers on a Train) – Samantha Hunter

Review: Tight Quarters (Strangers on a Train) – Samantha Hunter

Tight Quarters is the fourth story I have read in the Strangers on a Train series by different authors. It is quite different from the other books in this series, because the characters, Reid and Brenna, both have something difficult to deal with. Brenna has difficulties just boarding the train, and when Reid follows her all the way to her berth, she almost flips out. She uses her key to open the door, then close it behind her. When Reid then proceeds to open the door with his own key, she hides in a corner, and has no idea what to do. For just one person, the berth has more than enough room, but put a bulky ex-cop in there […]

Review: Fall of Night (The Morganville Vampires #14) – Rachel Caine

Review: Fall of Night (The Morganville Vampires #14) – Rachel Caine

Fall of Night is the 14th book in The Morganville Vampires series, and though I love this series, I didn’t think it could surprise me anymore… But I was blown away completely, and could have never seen the impact coming! The ending was so awesome I wish I could now be a fly on the wall in Rachel Caine’s office (or wherever it is she’s writing) so that I could know sooner what will happen next! Fall of Night starts with the almost-rising sun over the horizon, just outside the city-limits of Morganville, where Claire is waiting for her dad to come and pick her up. She has snuck out of the Glass house to avoid a teary goodbye with […]
