Fall With Me (Wait for You)
Fall With Me (Wait for You)

Review:Each one of these books gets better and better. I loved Roxys character in the last book and am so glad she was given her own story. Her and Reece are smoking hot! What's not to love about a sexy cop and a sassy artist? Read more

A de Vincent Novel (de Vincent series) - Moonlight Sins
A de Vincent Novel (de Vincent series) - Moonlight Sins

Review:When I started reading Moonlight Sins, I didn't know what to expect. I started the book only to be engulfed in a world where they made their own rules and where nothing is never has it seems.

When you first meet the three De Vincent brothers, you can already tell that something dark is always hovering around them; probably all the skeletons they have hidden in their closets. De Vincent is a wealthy family that always seems to have tragic stories related to it.

In this book, you fol... Read more

Obsession (Arum)
Obsession (Arum)

Review:I enjoyed the book, humour and stubbornness in spades but I kept getting whiplash with both character's in the I form. I would have to repeatedly stop to backtrack and figure if the "I" was talking about the him or her and it continually disrupted the flow.
As this was the first book I've read in this series it was hard at times to understand the backstory but that was easier than all the "I" sentences for both character's.
I'll check the samples close to see if other books are written t... Read more

Wicked (A Wicked Trilogy) (Volume 1)
Wicked (A Wicked Trilogy) (Volume 1)

Review:This is another book I found on my Facebook feed. I enjoy the supernatural books and this one did not dissappoint. The chemistry between Ren and Ivy was hot. Good thing I read this book when I did as it has a cliffhanger and can't wait for Torn to come out to see where it all goes. Tink is hilarious and who does not love a story about 2 people that should not be together. 5 stars!! Read more

Book 1) (Skulduggery Pleasant (Paperback)) - Skulduggery Pleasant (Skulduggery Pleasant

Review:Way much better than Cats- albeit i've never seen it.
And yet - a spunky heroine and sassy skeleton dynamic duo. What could go wrong? ... A few things - but it mostly goes right!
Good for 9yo's aaaaand 9yos at heart. Read more

Johnny Tremain (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)
Johnny Tremain (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)

Review:I enjoyed the book once the story got beyond Johnny's immaturity. Historically, it was mostly accurate. I did feel that John Adams wasn't adequately portrayed, but then the book wasn't about him. The relationship between Rab and Johnny was interesting was treated in depth. The girls, Cilla and her little sister lacked an adequate portrayal. It was good as far as it went but I would have liked to see more development of them. The shallowness of the Lyte family was apparent as was Mr. Lyte's greed... Read more

My Brother Sam Is Dead (Scholastic Gold)
My Brother Sam Is Dead (Scholastic Gold)

Review:I think the language - based on what my 5th grader is telling me, is a little unnecessary. She is reading it as a school assignment and is a high-level. We're not prudes or uptight by any means, but it almost seems as if this isn't a "historical novel" as much as an "introduction to curse words" in the eyes of the young reader. Maybe if I actually read the book, I would find differently - but the point is that the 5th graders are the audience, and what are they taking away from the experience... Read more

Endless Love: A Novel
Endless Love: A Novel

Review:I too thought this book was "my little secret!" How wonderful to hear from others who feel the same way. One of the few books that have truly broken my heart - I felt changed after I read it. My ideas on love, family, relationships,and madness - all were altered by Scott Spencers' suberb, unduplicable writing stye. His prose is superb in a multi-faceted manner. He creates vivid, realistic characters combined with stunning figurative language. The intensity of his emotional and physical descr... Read more

A Billionaire Small Town Love Story (Kinds of Love Book 3)
A Billionaire Small Town Love Story (Kinds of Love Book 3)

Review:There are certain authors that become your go too because you know they will suck you in and keep you interested throughout the story. Krista Lakes is that author for me. I loved this story! Bonnie & Dylan meet in an unlikely way but are instantly connected. They just click. You can feel their passion towards each other coming from the pages. And cute little Tyson just completes this book. The suspense kept me intrigued but the connection between these two kept me turning the pages late into... Read more
