Forever Mine (Moreno Brothers #1) by Elizabeth Reyes

Forever Mine by Elizabeth Reyes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, at least I didn't cry. But I did get sick to my stomach and so mad at the main female character, Sarah, that I was shaking. I'm not sure which is better! LOL.

This is a GREAT story. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars from me is I felt the writing as a bit stiff. But I loved the story, the plot, the resolution and obviously I fell hard for the characters. I love passionate men, and Angel sure delivers on that front! Sarah was an idiot, but to her defense she never really had any good role models in her life, but at some point you think common sense and your conscience would take over! It did, but too late, lol. All works out, of course, tho.

I really do recommend this book to lovers of contemporary romance! It was well worth my time and I think it will be worth yours too! There are a total of 5 books in this series, The Moreno Brothers, and a spin off titled Fate. I plan on reading all of them!

Read it and LOVE it!

Storm (Elemental #1) by Brigid Kemmerer

Storm by Brigid Kemmerer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Excellent beginning to a series! Proper review to come.

Well I have to say, I am a huge paranormal fan. And there comes a time when you think that just about everything has been done and you are not going to see anything new and fresh again... Storm just blew that out of the water!

This is a new (at least to me) concept in paranormal, regarding the elements and where people fall on a pentragram shaped chart regarding their abilities to control water, air, earth, fire and spirit (or all 5 together). In this story we encouter a family of all pure Elementals (each at the very point on the star for a different element) who is the target of hate and jealousy. Enter an unsuspecting human named Becca who comes to the rescue of Chris being beaten to a pulp in a parking lot... Well, you can guess how it all goes, learning about who is what and who is "good", "bad", right and wrong.

It's a great book about family dynamics, feuds and ignorance. I can't wait to continue on with this series. There are 4 full novels and several novellas. If you are into Paranormal books, this should be on your MUST READ list!

Seriously, READ IT AND LOVE IT!!!!

Going Bovine by Libba Bray

Going Bovine by Libba Bray
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I haven't given a book 2 stars in ages. This started out so good with so much promise. the prose was great, the story had such promise.

The trip, the trip was terrible. Felt like total rambling with absolutely NO point what so ever. I learned nothing.

I hated the characters.

Bah.

Unless you are a DIE HARD Libba Bray fan, don't waste your time.

Freak of Nature by Julia Crane

Freak of Nature by Julia Crane
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Ok, sadly, I was disappointed in this one. I don't want to discourage anyone from reading it, but it didn't live up to MY expectations. The cover is gorgeous and for some reason in my mind that equals good book, lol. Clearly I need to adjust my perceptions!

This book was good. And it's going to be a series, so I'll read book 2 to see if it improves but if not I'll be dropping the series.

Julie Crane is an accomplished author so I know that's not the problem. For some reason the characters fell flat. I never invested myself in them the way I do in other books. It was an easy read, i read it in less than one day... It just felt like there were a lot of holes in the story and i was missing a lot of information. I liked Kaitlyn's character, and I loved Lucas, but i never felt like I REALLY got to know them.

Plus the end was just tied up way too neat. And even tho I love a HEA, it was just WAY too easy. Way too easy. And we never got to hear from her one and only friend, Quess, after she returns to the compound. Sometimes you need conflict to enhance the story.

Anyway, like I said, I'll read book two - because I have series' i adore that I didn't care too much for book one! I sincerely hope it improves!

If you read it I hope you like it!

Slammed (Slammed #1) by Colleen Hoover

Slammed by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok, yet another book where I can't write a review because I'M CRYING TOO HARD! Ugh. Tissues please!

Review to come.


For some reason, I've been putting off writing this review. I think it's because I don't know how to do this book justice with my words. This is a beautiful piece or writing and a fantastic book. I don't like tear jerkers but this is DEFINITELY WORTH IT. First of all, the story is amazing, second, the poetry (yes poetry) is amazing, and 3rd the writing is effortless and fantastic. This book introduced me to SLAM poetry. I ususally hate poetry, but I loved this type and this book actually inspired me to write a poem about my divorce. I've since written several more. There is no higher praise for a book than to say it inspired YOU to write something...

I'm not going to go into the story - you'll just have to read it yourself or check out the synopsis on your favorite book site. Just whatever you do - READ THIS BOOK! It will change you, I promise!

READ IT AND LOVE IT!

Feast of Fools (Morganville Vampires #4) by Rachael Caine

Feast of Fools by Rachel Caine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow - talk about action packed and surprises galore!!!!

This is the 4th book in the Morganville Vampire series. If you haven't started the series, be sure to go back and start with Glass Houses. This series is COMPLETELY differnt from any other Vampire series I've read. It's snarky and witty and I love it! I'm reading it along with 2 of my book friends and all 3 of us totally enjoy it.

Anyway, new players emerge in this book, plus Claire's parents move to Morganville (!!!) and a LOT of new information, good and bad, emerges to push us farther along the story. Major battle lines have been drawn. The most powerful Vampire in town is playing "the long game" and some of our characters will certainly be used as pawns in this dangerous game. Our friend Myrninn has been trapped by Bishop (the most evil) and we don't know what will happen to him!

This is a wild ride from start to finish! It won't take you long to get through it all at, because with every page you just HAVE TO KNOW what happens!

Either go start the series or,

READ IT AND LOVE IT!!!!

Reviews to come...

Well, I have finished Feast of Fools (Morganville Vampires #4) and Slammed and I need to write proper reviews on both of them. So watch for those if you are interested. Every person on the planet should read Slammed, just sayin. I'm working on Going Bovine today and will be starting Freak of Nature either later tonight or tomorrow. It's looks super interesting! Plenty more reads on tap for next week as well. Thanks for being a reader of my blog - I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
