Our Wicked LiesOur Wicked Lies by Glede Browne Kabongo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this thriller. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning by the characters. They made the story feel realistic and gave life to the story. This is an engaging, fast paced story that I had a hard time putting down. This is a well written story that the author’s attention to details made the twists and turns exciting and the feeling of wanting to know what will happen next. Alicia thinks she has the perfect marriage until she finds some emails between her husband and another woman that he never sent. Who is she and why did he never send them? Someone knows the truth but sometimes things come at a cost. This had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. This is a great thriller that I would highly recommend.

I enjoyed this sweet romance story. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I have enjoyed every book I have read by her. One of the things I enjoy most is her ability to pull me into the story from the beginning and her attention to details give a realistic feel. This book is no different. This is a well written short story that I read in one day. It is a story about Hannah who was dumped a couple of days after Valentines Day. It is a day that holds nothing but bad memories for her until Kyle walks into her life. Will he change her feelings about this day? What does fate have in store for them? I enjoyed watching the characters grow throughout the story. They made the story come to life on each page and just made the story for me. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I enjoyed this young adult adventure story. This is a great story for any young adult who is looking for adventure and they will find it in this book. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first book before this one to help get to know the characters better but can be read as a stand alone. This is a well developed story that took me on an entertaining, fun adventure and fantasy. The characters bring the story to life and make it engaging. I enjoyed how they were not only paranormal but also creatures. This is a fast paced story that pulls you into a magical world of friends and enemies.

I enjoyed this historical romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet so far.

This is a dark romance box set that I enjoyed. This is a collection of three stories about Lexi and her journey from dark to light. Each book is well written, engaging and page turners. Lexi is a character that is connectable but also she brought the stories to life for me. The story was an emotional roller coaster but that just added to the stories. Lucca is everything she thinks she needs and wants but is he really that good for her? I highly recommend this box set. I am glad I picked it up and so will anyone who enjoys dark romance stories.

She has never had a relationship like the one she has with Andrew, until now. What will happen to her when her world comes crashing down with one photograph?
