NICE! I enjoyed this book so much, the story line was fantastic and the characters were perfect and easy to fall in love with. Riley, this poor girl has been through so much, with her parents, her past and now her present with someone is terrorizing her. I am so thankful she meets Xander and he can’t seem to stay away. On the other hand Xander is going through a recent break up and I like the fact that when he heard Riley, he just knew she was the one for him was so sweet. There was so much going on holding my attention, with trying to figure out who was trying to hurt Riley and then who had sabotaged Xander’s last mission. I was kind of expecting, but still completely surprised to find out who the killer was chasing after Riley. The fact that the killer was following along with a book that Riley was reading made the story that much more intense. I could not stop reading and now that Riley and Xander have their ending I can’t wait to see what comes next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!

Fantastic story! I loved everything about this book, the characters, the story line and especially all the drama and romance! Sandy and Jacob’s relationship is the cutest and sweetest, I love how they interact with each other and the love they show. I love that this is an interracial love story, I pictured Sandy as a beautiful Haitian woman and the way she is described, she deserves only the best when it comes to love. All of the characters that make her doubt herself and her relationship with Jake really started to make me mad, Carol, from Jake’s work, the hostess at the restaurant and even her ex boyfriend, the points they made or the things they said were uncalled for and obnoxious. Her ex boyfriend, it is easy to see he just said the things he did because he was jealous that she moved on without him. I was so happy to see Jake squash all her doubts and repeatedly show and tell her that he loved her the most. This couple is just fantastic and I really look forward to see what comes next, maybe Jake’s baby brother.

The Graceful GhostThe Graceful Ghost by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!

Nice short and sweet read perfect for young girls or any age really. I was sad for poor Lauren, she seemed to be at war with herself. She loves dance but feels she shouldn’t be doing it anymore as a punishment to herself. On one hand she is mad at her dad for leaving, on the other she thinks it’s her fault for his accident. She also seems older than her years for wrestling with her feelings of staying in the dance school or leaving but wanting to do what is best for her mom, not herself. The character of Grace is great in helping Lauren realize her dreams and helping achieve them by stopping the bullying that is going on from another dancer who is jealous of the attention Lauren is receiving. I really enjoyed watching the sweet friendship of Lauren and Katie grow and, seeing the bully of the school, Allison, finally come to realize that the way she had been acting was only hurting herself in the end. This book has such sweet moments and nice lessons to be learned.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a fun retelling of Cinderella. This book was giving me Pride and Prejudice vibes and I was loving it. I like how two friends devised the plan to trick everyone to see how they would treat each of them based on their status. Melinda however was not too sure about the identities of each man. Melinda is smart, independent and a little on the rebellious side. It’s sad to see she has to suffer with her cousins and Aunt who treat her like Cinderella was treated, but she found ways to get around her orders. I like how Kaye, her childhood friend fell for her, and she thought she was falling in love with the poorer of the two men… Such a nice short and sweet story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!

Loved it! I really enjoyed this book and all of the characters. The story was great, there was just enough drama to go along with the romance for Joel and Em. Em is a fantastic character, she is independent, smart, funny, beautiful and she totally deserves Joel. My heart broke for Joel, I can totally see why he thought he didn’t deserve anything good in his life, but agree with his friend and business partner Nate, that he is a fighter and deserves everything good that has come into his life if not to make up for his crappy childhood. Em is perfect in the way that she reacted to finding out about Joel, she was in shock and left with her father but told Joel she would talk to him the next morning once she could wrap her head around everything, Joel being broken took that another way and leaves. I hated her dad for even butting in, in the first place and the way he didn’t even try to listen to Joel’s side of the story. Their story is sweet and I am actually kind of upset there wasn’t more to end on, I was hoping for an epilogue of some sort but in the end still an excellent read, and worth it.

Daddy’s girl by Belinda Williams is the third book in the Freshwater series. This book is another great addition to this series and I think probably my favourite so far! I loved Emily and Joel – there were such loveable characters that I found myself completely behind them from the moment I started reading. They were fun and had such chemistry, it really was entertaining to read about them!
The book, as with the previous ones, is well written and engaging from start to finish. It is a quick, easy read that will pull you in and keep those pages turning. This is a great book and one I would certainly recommend!

Twisted Secrets (book one in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series) by Amy Mckinley was a great read! Amy Mckinley has quickly become a favorite author, each book I read from her just gets better and better! I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect going into this novel, but I didn’t expect the whirlwind adventure and thrill I got from this! Full of romance, and suspense, and thrilling secrets and events, I hardly wanted to put this book down. The characters were amazing in this, and so was the chemistry. It had me breathless and longing for more! I can’t wait to dig into the next installment of this series!

I enjoyed this time travel story that is full of action and even some romance. This is the second book in this series that can be read as a stand alone. This is a well written story that brings page turning adventure. The characters are connectable and engaging. They bring the story to life and fun to read. Will and Maggie go through alot in this book. They are really great characters that I found myself fighting for. I won’t say too much about them as I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens to them. One is sentenced to hang and the other is sent home. Will one get saved so they can reunite or will fate have something else in mind?

I enjoyed this young adult story. This is a new author for me, I look forward to reading more from them in the future. This is a mystery story that is shorter and fun to read. The characters are a group of eighth graders who raised some money for a charity but the story changes when the money is stolen. As a group they try to find out who is behind it, will they solve their mystery? They made the story entertaining and even a few laughs. This would make a great story for any young adults who like mysteries. I truly enjoyed this book and I would highly recommend it.

Happily, ever after is a collection of stories written by different styles of authors and I love reading these types of collections because this is were, I find new authors and interesting characters. The books are easy to read and I can get through a couple in a coffee or lunch break. I defy anyone who does not either find a new author or a great story within this collection. I had a few favourites within the collection but my favourite was Don’t Worry, I still hate you by Marie Skye so I decided to review this book: –

Don’t Worry, I still hate you – Marie Skye
What happen in Vegas stays in Vegas they say, well I can tell you that is bull because who’s the last person you want to see to become your roommate. Yep, you guessed it the mistake from Vegas.
This is a fun, full of chemistry story which will have you routing for the main characters although at times its rocky and you’re not sure where they will end up. The story is a quick read and for the length well-constructed and you don’t feel cheated with this being a novella. I have read a few of Marie’s books and they always deliver and this one does not disappoint.

At Once: Adams Brothers: Book 2 by Mindy McKinley. Gabi and Mason stole a piece of my heart and I’ll likely never forget them especially since I’ll be adding this one to my read again list.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Murder at Lolly Beach is the second book in the Eve Sawyer mystery series. Even though this is book two, you can read this as a stand-alone book but you will also want to read the first book as well. The plotline held my attention. There are some twists and turns which caused me to be at the edge of my seat during parts of the book. I thought I knew what was happening and then BAM I was blown away. I was not going to put this book until the very last word. Eve is a college journalism student. She can find a good story almost anywhere she looks. She was looking for some relaxation at the beach. She found some new friends, but she finds a story that needs her attention. I highly recommend this book. You will not be disappointed when you start reading this book. I can only hope that Jane Suen will keep this story going.

I couldn’t put this book down because you never knew what was going to happen next or what hilarious thing was going to be said next. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series just to see how much more drama could pop up. Great first read by this author!

Without a doubt, my favorite part of Havall 16 is A.J. Ullman’s writing. His characters, storyline and unique style really draw you in. Reading his work felt so fluid I sometimes felt like I was tuning in to one of my favorite T.V. shows instead of picking up a book. The dystopian sci-fi and social commentary of Havall 16’s themes were also an added bonus.

Having read ‘Murder Creek’ the first book in the ‘Eve Sawyer mystery series’ and thoroughly enjoyed it I was looking forward to this second novel and I was not disappointed. I liked being back with our heroine, Eve Sawyer a journalist student as I fell in love with this likeable and relatable character in book one. In this story Eve is on a summer vacation but instead of a fun time she has a mystery to solve. Eve’s best friend Cassie’s boyfriend chef Blake Conway is attacked at his crêpe food truck and then Cassie’s beach house is broken into. Blake had been stirring up the locals with his plastics ban campaign. ‘Beach Beat’ reporter Jake Thorne takes Eve on as an intern and agrees to mentor her as they try to discover who’s behind these crimes. As Eve and Jake investigate they uncover many suspects and learn some dark secrets, and meanwhile a killer is still at large in the small town. I was hooked from page one and was kept guessing until the very end due to all the plot twists and turns in this cozy mystery. This novel is an engaging and enjoyable read and I’m looking forward to more Eve Sawyer mysteries.
