These characters were so awkward. I can’t believe how cute it was. I mean the whole beginning was a big stage of bad impressions. I liked how they started and it made the ending so much better. I love big men with beards. Dean was a good character he was nice when he didn’t have to be. He seemed genuinely confused about his next steps in life. I believe that him and Flora met at the perfect time. Neither understood where they were going but it lead them to something special. I think that creates a beautiful bond. When you’re not looking for it but it finds itself in your path anyway.

I love stories like this. The author gives you characters that seem unlikely but to perfect. I love stories that puts a person in a group of people that love and wish them well. The characters were all well written. The author plotted the details together so well. I was entertained from beginning to end.

The past should always stay in the past. The author made some valuable points in this story. Izzy has built herself so many shields its hard to find a soft moment. Her past was tough and you see that throughout the story. Kai has a hard yet soft personality. I do wish that the author would’ve given her more soft moments. The characters all sound great and the need for help is apparent in every word. I liked how the author built you up to the climax. Over all a fun story to read. The series of books have been a treat.

I’m crying. I can’t believe my eyes what I just read. This author really knows how to take you to another level of crazy. I have read many of this authors MC books and have loved them all. I was so excited when this story came out. I love getting a follow up on the other characters. I would like to say that Demon has turned into an amazing man. I love his and Hells relationship. The plot alone was enough to have me on edge. Then you throw in Vi and it’s down right amazing. She was so strong to think of her child before herself. It takes a strong person to make the choices she did. Yeah I need another book about Demon please.

I come from a large family but we have nothing on PJ’s family. We all have those members that you just don’t talk about. Most of the time it’s never the main crew. PJ isn’t so lucky. Lol! Her mom and dad had me in giggles. I loved the relationship between the characters and how they came together. Bonds with people that truly know you are the things that make up our core. I found her thought process scary yet funny. It was crazy being inside PJ’s head. Though I would like to go party with her. She seems like she would be a blast to hang out with. The man cakes were too much. I couldn’t handle them. I usually find one guy better than the other but not this time. I usually love the first book and follow up with book two because you just have to know more. In this case this second book has caught me more. I was highly entertained. There was never a dull moment in this story. The author kept the book from being boring by throwing in flash backs to keep you wanting to know what was next. So much excitement and danger.

Could you even imagine being so different that you fear yourself? I know I couldn’t. To be so young and frighten. Charlie has three choices. Lose control and do harm, go to training or give up her powers. I know what I would choose. It’s a big responsibility to have such great power. I was excited about Talon until the author introduced Jameson. Can we say Hot. Not only was he yummy but also a werewolf. I think he fit Charlie so much better than any other character. I really liked Tandi. Her character kept the book up beat and entertaining. The author put together this story nicely I just wish the theme was different. Everything always comes down to war and the end of the world. I still enjoyed the story though.

I’m not a huge fan of dogs. But this story was cute. There is a beautiful bond between a dog and its owner. Willow plays a big role in this story. I liked how the author included the dog throughout the story. I’m not sure I could’ve put up with Caleb’s issues. He was rude from the start. I liked how Ron was an open book. Kerry was super sweet and caring. I liked how smooth the story was. There wasn’t any parts in the story that felt unnecessary. Everyone had a part and played it well.

I can’t imagine living with what was done to Cassie. I don’t know if I am strong enough to move past such trauma. This story was all kinds of messed up. It was somewhat dark in what went on in the past and the events of the present. Ian I’m lost for words in him. All I can say is be prepared to lose yourself in dreams of him. I’m still thinking about him even though I’ve already finished the book. I just don’t see how the author focused on anyone else when the thought of Ian was there. Lol! I liked the flow of the story and how the author didn’t make Cassie weak. Yes, she had fears but rightly so. She didn’t let those fears rule her life. They triggered panic attacks but she got through them. I enjoyed the different personalities and how the author mixed the characters for the best action.

Can I just say that I am in love with this book. The characters, the plot and the author. Cole is hot not just handsome but stop you dead in your tracks hot. But what really hot me was that he stepped up to be a father. That he thought of his family before himself. Then there is Faith. My heart hurt for her. She had been through so much. She had finally had enough of being on the go. I was so excited after reading this story that I have to go back and read more. The author really captures your attention from beginning to end.

First off I love the cover art. The cover draws you in. Then you get into the book and fall in love with the characters. Chloe is a tough chick I mean the type of chick that you don’t talk smack to. Through the whole book I wanted more from her POV. Locke man oh man Locke. Makes a girl want to move to Australia to find herself a man lol. I really enjoyed this story because it shows that even though we don’t trust people we learn to. We give in when we find someone worthy of our trust. Even when we fight it. I didn’t like Trent and Eric. What they did to him was awful. Friends and family should always have your back.

Life isn’t fun when you shortcuts. You learn a lot about yourself when you take the road less traveled. Parker had empathy and it is a dangerous and powerful gift. She wanted everyone happy but forgot that happiness included going through all your emotions. I really enjoyed reading this story. The characters were young and refreshing. They’re just beginning their life journey. Though they will have many trials and tribulations they have each other to help. I hope the author continues this into another book. There is great potential for a series. All these kids with powers and someone is out to get them.

I love the different song for each chapter. The author got my attention fast with that detail. I also liked Magnum. He is a guy to be feared but also cherished. All these men are just big softies. I love it. This one is my favorite so far. The rawness when magnum speaks his feelings. The realness from the pain and fear. I can’t get enough of this series. This author has me hooked. I’m ready to be a character in a book so I can find my HEA. Even though it’s sad to lose people there is also beauty in it. You learn to let old ghost go and allow new things in.

Women can be the definition of the devil. The vindictiveness alone could kill you. Cappy finds his childhood friend and feelings that he thought long forgotten resurface. Em is a busy body. The type of person who has to be involved with everything and help everyone. Their reunion wasn’t all hearts and flowers though. Fiona is a spoiled brat. Her glee over Thomas and Em’s pain was too much. I understand a broken heart better than most. What she did was wrong on many levels. The author did really well with this story. I enjoyed learning about Cappy and Em.

When you’re the right of the mafia boss you don’t need much. Tick is a man who gets what he wants or he takes it. Through the whole book I was torn over liking and disliking him. How can a man be so soft and hard at the same time. Cyma was a little weak for my taste but she was a good character. The author is giving us so much in this series. The characters are well written and the story holds your attention. I really like how these men and women are coming together in unlikely situations. That you could be the one thing that a man built on a hard life gives up everything for. You could be the one light in his darkness.

Oh yeah this is going to be good. I really liked how this book went. I was actually hype at the end. Sadie has no magic in her and that makes her an outcast. I felt for her through the story because no one should be treated the way they treated her. But then you get to see all their mouths drop when Sadie turns out to be more than anyone thought. It sucks that she has to be powerful for people to accept her. I really like how the author set this story up and made the characters mesh well.

I definitely related to this story. You try to be strong so that no one sees the broken parts of you. You push yourself so hard that you don’t notice your fall. This story was so real. The author made you feel like this happened to someone. That at one point in their life they ran from love. That they thought they were better off alone. The characters learned from each other. The Grandmother was my favorite she kept it real through the whole story and never changed.

The Reason Why was a touching love story. You have two teenagers who have different views and different dreams. Bama lives with two guys who happen to love her. One a best friend the other a blooming love. I felt bad that someone was going to be hurt. Love triangles suck and are something I avoid reading about. No matter the outcome on the end. Someone still hurts. I liked Josh he was super sweet. Hunter was a jerk but I understood why he seemed so angry with the world. I couldn’t believe how Bama’s mother acted after she gave up everything to help her. No real parent would do that to the children they love.

I couldn’t let someone tell me when and how to live someone. Levi was overprotective and wrong for his interference. Luna is amazing for growing the way she did. She has been through so much pain and trauma. Her father was an awful man and he didn’t do right by his child. So much of this story made me sad but also happy. The outcome doesn’t always have to be good. It could leave you feeling heartbroken. The author pulled at your heart strings. Through most of the book you question the mindset. I liked how the author gave each character growth. They actually were involved throughout the whole study. I will have to check out more books from this author.

The characters had interesting past but it didn’t make them different. I liked Deirdre. She could defend herself and give as much smack as she got. Her and Vincent were fireworks together. Family means a lot to me but I have learned that you have to cut people off to make yourself grow. Especially if they were holding you back.

This whole story was about acceptance but the only acceptance you need is your own. I don’t see how people go through life worrying about what other people think of them. People will judge you no matter what you do. So why not live as yourself? I don’t understand the cruelty people display over finding out someone is gay. Florian was looking for someone to love every side of him but he was stuck in a miserable life. The fact that he felt that he needed acceptance showed me more about him than anything else. I don’t normally read Male on Male stories. But this one was a nice read and I didn’t feel forced to accept anything other than what I believe.

My jaw is unhinged. I’m stunned into silence. This story will move you in so many ways. Judy’s life is beautiful and tragic. I could not think of what I would have done in her shoes. She was a child with adult responsibilities. Helena must have been in so much pain. To know that she wasn’t there for her daughter. As a mother we pride ourselves on raising our children and being there for their needs. So it’s hard to believe Helen didn’t die in that accident. Or maybe she did and what was left couldn’t get it all worked out. I hurt for Helen and Judy. For the time they lost together and the times they were together. Mental health is something that we need to start taking more serious.

To be abandoned by the person you love is painful. To know that they left without a goodbye is even worse. I hurt for Jaxon and Emily. The author was really cruel to us. The plot of this story was so mean. To give you so much love and then yank it way. The writing was a little shaky with the conversations and how believable it was. This is a book that could teach young adults a lesson about drinking and driving. So many lives lost by that action alone. Hopefully the characters have learned their lesson. I’m looking forward to the next book because we will see how much Jaxon really loves Emily.

Honesty is my number one policy. I don’t care what the story is as long as it’s the truth. Little white lies hurt too. The author showed us what could happen if you run into your soulmate after years of pain. I really thought that Nathalie lacked something. Not that she didn’t feel but she just seemed too mellow for all that she had been through. Jase was a douche for withholding the truth even if it seemed like the right thing at that moment. Could you imagine keeping such a big secret and telling someone you love them. When that don’t truly know all of you. I liked this story and hope we get another one. It was somewhat of a cliffhanger. The author did really well with building the characters though some still need some growth.

Vampires are awesome. I love stories like this. It isn’t normal it isn’t a classic. Its different than any vampire book I have read so far. I really love when authors just take something and spin it into something unbelievable. Alex and Elizabeth are amazing in this story. The attraction undeniable. I liked that they had powers. Some parts were just ok but mainly I liked the interaction between the characters. The villain chick was crazy and made the story really good. Every story needs a good villain. I definitely recommend you reading this book because of the cliché.

Blinded by Betrayal was full of action and emotion. Every encounter with a character brought you something filled with either fear or excitement. I really liked the main character Sloane. She is one bad mamajamma. She didn’t play any games. When things started off bad I didn’t know what she would do. But what she did do surprised me. She took off and made something amazing for herself. I really liked the direction the story went. She did this on her own without a Male lead. The author really made you felt the betrayal in this story. It comes out of nowhere and your left feeling uncertain. Like what just happened. I like this author. I’m use to more laid back books but this one had me on edge.

Stupidity should never be a redeeming quality. Blindly following what other people want with no regards to your needs crazy. I don’t know how Glynnis survived the way she did. Who trusts someone that they hardly know as much as she did. I’m truly upset that the lead character was so awful. Is that how some people truly are? I rated it four stars because the author wrote an interesting story. The moments where we find out about the axe murderer and Corin are my favorite parts. I really liked Corin. He wasn’t traditionally handsome or build with muscle. He is a normal guy if a little stalker-ish. I actually liked how he wrote everything down. I makes you feel better and it almost takes a weight off of you. He was super adorable for being shy like there are no shy guys anymore. I thought he was very alpha male when he went after Glynnis. I liked the story but could do without Glynnis. The story was really well written and I would read more by this author. Hopefully all the leads have actual personalities that they developed from learning about themselves and not what others think their personality should be. Also we need to redefine the term best friend. Because Kenley was not it.

Wow! I couldn’t imagine living a life so chaotic. To always be on the move. Marla is a terrible parent she didn’t do her best to care for her child. Veloura had so much stacked against her. I was really sad reading this story and couldn’t stop thinking that this could actually be someone’s life right now. It’s scary and truly sad that parents can’t chose their children over others. The author played us by writing this story this way. I wasn’t expecting hearts and flowers. But I definitely wasn’t expecting so much pain, confusion and betrayal. Being a teen is hard enough. I really couldn’t put the story away because the author wrote it to keep you wanting to know what would happen next. You needed to know how these characters lives would turn out.
