Unbreakable Darkness (Vigilant, #1.5)Unbreakable Darkness by L.M. Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am really enjoying each and every book in this series, this one included. They all seem to add to much to the series as a whole and yet stand out as a single book. I loved the main character in this particular story. He carried it for me and I really connected with him and his journey. The story was exciting and gripping from the moment you start reading. I struggled to put it down once I had started reading.
So much seems to happen in this book, I was swept away by it all and loved each and every moment. This is a really strong series I am thoroughly enjoying it all.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a sweet second chance romance with wonderful characters. The author has written a book that really gets the readers in engaged, in both the storyline and the characters involved. I connected with them the moment I started reading and wanted to find out if they got their happy ending.
The book is one of those that is easy to read as you get lost in the pages so quickly. I found myself reading it fast as I was caught up in what was happening and wanted to see how it would end. This is a well written story by an author who really knows how to deliver. I would definitely suggest picking up this book today.

This is definitely one of the better retelling of Cinderella that I have read. I was hesitant to give it a go at first but I am glad I did. The characters were brilliant, they really made the book for me. Their connection was instant and believable. I loved watching the connection grow as the story developed.
I thought the book was well written.  Easy to read but caught my attention. This is a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With as long as this series has been going for you would think that it would have started to get a bit old by now. And yet with each book added it just gets better and better. I always love jumping back into Logan’s world and thr characters surrounding her. Each book feels fresh and exciting.
This book is just like the rest of them. I was pulled into the story with ease and I could not put it down. I was desperate to see what was going to happen and just to spend more time with these characters. This is easily one of my top series and I would recommend everyone reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author is firmly up there with some of the best I have read. Each and everyone one of her books I fantastic and I don’t bother to read the description before picking it up. This book is easily one of the best of them all too! I loved it from the moment I started reading and I could not put it down. I made the mistake of starting it thinking I would just read a couple of chapters and ended up losing a few hours, finishing the whole book in one sitting.
I love how descriptive her writing style is. I can imagine everything so vividly. I loved the characters in this book. They were very much their own and yet worked so well together. The storyline was exciting and fast paced. I honestly loved everything about this book. I am already excited about whatever work comes next from this author.

I honestly think this series just keeps on getting better and better. It wasn’t a series I was sure I would like but I can definitely say it is one I am thoroughly enjoying. Each book is exciting and well written, with this one being just the same. I was pulled back into the authors way of writing and the characters being put before us on the page.
I really become fully captivated by the story the author is telling. It is so easy to imagine and I feel like I am there. With each new book I cannot wait to start reading to see what else is to come. This is a fantastic book and a brilliant series. I would highly recommend it.

This is such great addition to this series and it was so nice to be drawn back into the world of this character. I have found it so easy to get lost in her story and she is really a wonderful character. This whole series has been heartwarming and this book just rounds that off.

This series shows now sign of slowing down at all. Each new book is just as good as the last and I find myself pulled right back into this world. I always enjoy reading about Emma and the cases she works on. They are always fascinating and really easy to engage with.
This author has created an interesting and lasting series that has really caught my attention. I always can’t wait to read the next and in find them all to be exciting. This is another great story and I am looking forward to the next instalment.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Misfortune of Vision by Christy Nicholas is the fourth book in the Druid’s Brooch series. I would personally highly recommend reading this series in order as the characters and the storylines are interlinked. Reading out of order won’t give the same reading experience in my opinion.
As usual the author has created a wonderful story with such detailed characters. She draws you into Orlaghs world with ease and keeps the pages turning. This is a great series and one I would recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is completely outside of my usual comfort zone but it was something that caught my attention and I had to give it a go. It is the perfect eclectic mix of weird and relatable and it felt like there really was something for everyone within its pages. I really enjoyed the fact that I could dip in an out of this book, reading a poem or 2 here and there. It meant, for me, that it didn’t get old and I engaged with each entry I read.
This is a new author to me as well but I enjoyed the way the poems were constructed. You could tell that a lot of thought and effort had gone into each of them. Although not my usual type of book I would definitely pick up another book by this author.

What a surprisingly steamy yet enjoyable book this turned out to be. I was easily pulled into the story and quickly became engaged in what was happening. I wanted to see how the connection between the characters would develop over time.
I thought the connection between was strong. The book was carried on the back of the two of them and I thought they were a perfect fit for each other. The storyline was interesting. I wanted to find out more about what was going to happen, and I wanted to see how things would work out with the characters. This author always delivers on an entertaining book and this is just another one to add to her successful library. An enjoyable book I would highly recommend.

I loved this second book in the series, the continuation of these characters and their stories. I thought this book was even better than the first, and I was pulled back into the story straight away. I couldn’t wait to see what the author did with the story and what was next for the three friends.
This book is just as well written as the first and I found myself even more drawn to the characters than before. I really like how it feels like you truly get to know these characters with each passing page. I have enjoyed everything about this series so far and I cannot wait to read the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book from the moment I started reading. Wesley and Addison go through such a journey together to get to where they are and I loved watching it. Even after their years apart the chemistry between them was undeniable. I wanted them to find a way to make things work, even with everything between them.
I thought the author did an amazing job at injecting emotion into every part of this book. You really do feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster as the story progresses. This is a fantastic book and I would recommend it to any fan of this genre.

What a unique and interesting take on Romeo and Juliet – and a much better version in my opinion. Jace and Cyrus are simply amazing. I loved them individually, and their characters, and I loved the connection that was so easy to see between them. Despite everything being against them I desperately wanted them to find a way.
The story itself is exciting and well written. Although I knew it was based on Romeo and Juliet it definitely does not live in its shadows. This is a real page turned and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!

Enemies to lovers are some of my favourite books and this one is right up there with the best of them! I thought the characters were a perfect match for each other and the attraction between was real and believable. The connection they had was not only strong but I thought, at times, highly entertaining. They pushed each other really made me buy into them.
I loved the pace of the book. I thought it was so easy to get into and it kept my interest from start to finish. The author has created a strong series that, right now, I can’t get enough of. This is an amazing book and I can’t wait to finish the others.

I have learnt to expect the unexpected from this author and his books and this one is no exception. I think this book has to be my favourite of them all so far. I was riveted by the story unfolding in front of me, and the way it was developed so perfectly. I kept changing my mind on what I thought had happened, never really able to settle on an answer leaving me open to be surprised as the story developed.
I thought the book was so well written. The characters were brilliant. I bought into them just as much as the story itself. The whole book had me gripped and I read it all in one sitting. This is another example of why I enjoy this author so much and I urge everyone to add this to their TBR piles straight away!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ouroboros by T.S. Simons is the third book in the Antipodes series. I would definitely recommend reading this series in order so that you get the full experience. I think this book has to be my favourite of the series so far. I really got into this book and found myself getting completely lost in the story. There was much in this book, it had such an attention to detail and so much going on.
I really enjoyed getting to see more about these characters and the journey they are on. Even more so with this book it felt like I was going on the same journey with them, even with it being a dystopian future. I could imagine everything the author was writing and I felt immersed in the book as a whole.
This is a brilliant series and this book is excellent. I would highly recommend reading them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I started reading this book I didn’t realise it was based on a true story so did not expect the depth and the emotion I found. This book completely took me by surprise in the best possible way. I was completely captivated by the story and this family that you are reading about. I felt completely connected to the characters and felt like the author really reflected what they must have gone through. The emotions I felt when reading this book where immense but so fitting.
The writing style worked perfectly for this book. The author did an amazing job at portraying the time and the journey the family must have gone through. And even though it is not something you can truly imagine, they really made it feel like you were there with them. This is an incredible story, and one that I cannot recommend highly enough.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a dark and intense story that I have to say surprised me. There are a lot of triggers in this book, so if you watch out for that then definitely read this boom cautiously – but so read it. The connection between these two characters was so strong and real that it easily carries the whole book. You believe in their connection and their journey.
I think the author does an amazing job with the way she tackles mental health. It is the perfect portrayal while still keeping the story momentum. This was an amazing book that I thoroughly enjoyed.

What a highly entertaining book this is! I wasn’t sure what to really expect when I started reading it but entertaining and funny was not what I would have said. It is a grrt murder mystery story that is combined with witty humour, interesting characters and a strong plot to go with it. I read this book so quickly because it was such a good read. I was hooked by what was happening and wanted to read more. I would highly recommend this book!

It had been a while since I had read this book so I couldn’t wait to experience it in a different format. And what a great way yo dive back into it this was.

For me, everything about this is perfect and I think everyone should have a listen today!

This author is one that never fails to impress. I never hesitate to start reading a book she has written because they are all so good, and this is just another one to add to that list. I loved the story between the main characters. They were exactly what each of them needed and I loved the way they developed.
The story was emotional and well written. I was fully invested in what the author had written. I always enjoy how varied her work is. No two books are ever the same which is why I think I like them so much. This is another great story by an author who should be on every ones one click list.

Something About Aimee (Girls from the Street Book 1)Something About Aimee by S.E. Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What I loved the most about this book is that the characters really are worlds apart from each other. Their situations couldn’t be any more different and yet somehow it worked – without either having to make great changes to their personality in the process. I enjoyed this because I connected with the characters right from the start and would have hated for them to have completely changed by the end of the story.
The storyline was pretty good too. I was caught up in what was happening, and the emotions that ran through the book. I thought the author did a great job of making you, as the reader, become invested in what was happening. Overall, I thought this was a highly enjoyable story and I look forward to exploring more of this authors work.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Liminal Space by T.S. Simons is the second book in the Antipodes series. For me this is a series that really does need to be read in order so you can fully appreciate what is happening.
I found this book to be just as detailed and well thought out as the first book. I really love how it makes you think about what it is trying to do. It really helps to draw you into the story even more. Even after reading this book I’m really not sure what I would do if I had the chance to do things over. It is one of those questions that I don’t think you would truly know the answer to until you had to decide.
This book in detailed and comprehensive and a really great read. I would highly recommend this series!

Although not my favourite book by her this story is exciting g, fast paced and filled with so much drama it will keep you on your toes. The author has packed so much into this story, there really is never a dull moment.
I enjoyed the overall premise of the book. I could easily see what the author was trying to achieve and I think she managed to write a strong book. This is a good start to a new series and I am looking forward to the next book.

This is an emotional and complex story, more so than I thought it would be as I was expecting a typical romance book when I started. But this book has a depth to it you don’t find with most romance books and pull that I hadn’t thought would be there.
The characters completely make this book. They are so well written. They each have their own story, their own voice, and I wanted to listen to all of them. I was invested in the book and the outcome and I couldn’t wait to see how things would resolve. This was a surprising read but a good one nonetheless.

This is a fun and entertaining romance story with some truly brilliant characters. I loved the connection between the 2 main characters and the banter they had between them. I thought they were so well matched and fit perfectly with the feel of the story the author seemed to be going for.
I always have a soft spot when any part of a book, or the characters, involve the UK, so for this to involve a Scottish lead, I knew I couldn’t resist. I thought the book was well written. It was easy to connect with and easy to read – I read it all in one sitting without realising I was flying through it that quickly! This is a great story and definitely one to add to the list.

I enjoyed the mix of British and American. It was entertaining to read and kept the book feeling revived. I thought this was a great re-imagining by the the author and I am looking forward to the next book.
