One Day (Vintage Contemporaries)
One Day (Vintage Contemporaries)

Review:The movie version was not horrible but you really should read this book before seeing it. It was familiar in a number of ways but different enough in key respects that you really cannot just complain about it being another predictable romance story. Read more

Bound to Me
Bound to Me

Review:I did enjoy this novel, however, I felt like chunks of history or backstory were missing and there could've been more character development of, or really, relationship development between, the H/h. I thought about only giving three stars, but there was enough plot there to make me glad I read it despite its flaws.

Speaking of, there needs to be some additional editing for missing & duplicated words. There are also many instances of words being flipped around in a sentence, with this... Read more

Free to Kill (Katie Freeman Mysteries Book 1)
Free to Kill (Katie Freeman Mysteries Book 1)

Review:The ending felt a little rushed and I wish there would have been more clues to help lead us to a conclusion. Also wish there was more tie in with the epilogue. I’d love to have a book on Katie’s background. Read more

Finding It: A Novel (Losing It)
Finding It: A Novel (Losing It)

Review:Finding It was predictable and frustrating, but not in good ways. I was excited to get Kelsey's story because she seemed like such a fun, confident character in the first book. However, it becomes very clear from the beginning that she's very troubled and is running away from her problems. Kelsey has taken off to Europe for a gap year of sorts. She says she wants to gain new experiences to become a better actress, but she's just boozing around and sleeping around to avoid her problems. Then she ... Read more

Keeping Her: A LOSING IT Novella

Review:After being disappointed in my re-read of Losing It I wasn't sure I would actually read Keeping Her (the reason I re-read Losing It in the first place). I didn't care for either of the characters in the first book, but I thought I have it might as well give it a try. I was surprised to find that it was much better than the first book.

Keep Her Safe: A Novel
Keep Her Safe: A Novel

Review:This book really threw me off guard. I figured out the main plot point 50% in BUT I will admit there was a key point I missed and that’s what basically made my head explode. If you’re looking for a just romance type of read I wouldn’t recommend this just because it barely touches the topic. The same thing with avid mystery/thriller book readers they might find the story lacking that “whoa” effect. Besides that I really like the pacing of the story. I really liked how the author provided us with ... Read more

Losing It

Review:full spoiler free review @ http://myriadinklings.wordpress.com
I definitely enjoyed this book. It is nothing to hype up about, but definitely did like it. I really liked the main couple. The romance and drama was good as well. Overall, it was an enjoyable read, better than average, but not the best book out there. Also as a side note, this is a new adult genre book, so there is some mature content that younger readers will need to be aware of before picking it up.
I would recommend this bo... Read more

Pray for Silence: A Kate Burkholder Novel
Pray for Silence: A Kate Burkholder Novel

Review:I enjoy reading books about the Amish way of life and I also enjoy mysteries. I found this series of books to be a great combination of both of these. I thought it was well written and very suspenseful. I intend to read more books by this author. Read more

S is for Silence: A Kinsey Millhone Novel
S is for Silence: A Kinsey Millhone Novel

Review:Wow, I liked the introductions to characters during the telling of the plot. Don't like the description of the actual intercourse section about sex, always preferred the imagining of what was to come, but it did keep me guessing to the very end. Read more

The Witch of Portobello: A Novel (P.S.)
The Witch of Portobello: A Novel (P.S.)

Review:As someone who returned to my church and faith after years of soul-searching, I felt strong enough in my personal beliefs to wade through this story about a controversial subject. I love books that take you on a journey, out from the armchair and out of your comfort zone. The Witch of Portobello does exactly that with a unique format of various characters narrating each chapter, creating a sort of soulful alchemy focused on the main character. Unlike the literal excursion in The Alchemist, this ... Read more
