My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author has done it yet again. Every time I pick up a book by this author I think there is no way she can possibly create something as good as the other books. And every time I am proven wrong! This book was absolutely brilliant. I was pulled straight into the story and could not stop reading until I had finished. I always find this authors stories to be so vivid and imaginative. I was fully invested in Adrijana’s journey and couldn’t wait to see how everything would play out.
This is such a well written and exciting story. I would highly recommend it to everyone!

What a brilliant start to a new series. I was hooked on this book from the moment I started reading. Aly and Luca were so addictive and captivating.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For me this was an unexpectedly enjoyable read. I hadn’t really been tol taken in by the description but, having read previous books by this author, decided to give it a go and I’m glad I did. I found the story to be well thought out and interested. The characters were diverse and intriguing to read about. They all had their own part within the story.
I enjoyed the fact that even thought it is a dystopian novel the prevalent theme felt to me like family. It gave the book a different feel from others I have read of this genre. Overall I thought the book was enjoyable from start to finish and well worth the time.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into this book. It is a new author to me and with such a vague description it almost felt like going in blind. For me this book was all about the characters. They are what initially oulled me into the story and they are also what kept my interest the most. The author makes it so easy to believe the characters and their story. I found myself completely absorbed by them.
I really enjoyed this story. It is what I expected but it was well written and a great read. This is definitely worth your time.

I thought this book was a great follow up to the first one. It had been a while since I had read book one so I went back to read that first and I am glad I did. I think that I got much more our of this book for having done so.

This is a fantastic and well written historical fiction book that really grabs your interest. It can be read as a standalone but I think the series is well worth your time.

It was a quick read and a great way to pass an afternoon.

Slick Running (Satan’s Devils MC #3) AUDIO BOOK by Manda Mellett – Review by Kerry Baker

/0 Comments/in /by

A book by this author never fails to completely grab my attention from start to finish, and it seems the audio books are just the same. Although I have read most of these books this is only the second audio book I have listened to. It took no time at all for me to be completely immersed in the story. I found myself making excuses to plug my headphones in so I could jump straight back in. The story translates so well into the audio version, losing none of the excitement you get from the actual book. It was so easy to imagine the characters and the events of the book. This is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend to everyone.

This is such a well written story about family and exploring the past. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed how relaxed the book felt, while still providing a depth to it. It was quite a quick story and it felt complete, like a story well told. I found that I really became invested in the main character and her journey – from the death of her husband to everything she goes through. The book was well thought and a really enjoyable story. This was a great way to kick start 2022 and I am looking forward to discovering more this authors work.

I was so excited to get to read another book in this series, especially one about this particular character. I had been looking forward to her story from the moment she was introduced.

I could not stop reading this book, I had to read it in one sitting. It was as entertaining and witty as I expected and is a book I thoroughly enjoyed. If you haven’t read this series yet I would urge you to do so immediately. This is a brilliant book from start to finish.

It is always hard knowing you are reading the final book in a series but this book is the perfect t example of an ending done right. Although the book can be read as a standalone I would definitely recommend reading the series in order. It had to be said that the author has certainly saved the best book until last. This book is easily my favourite out of the series and has just been so well written you get lost in the story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to go back and enjoy the whole series again.

What a story to read in the current climate. A book like this has never quite hit so close to home and I have to say it made for a much more interesting read. This book is aimed at the YA audience but the author has done a fantastic job of creating a story that resonates with all ages. I had no trouble at all connecting with the story and the characters. I really became invested in their story. This is the kind of book that you have to read in one sitting because you umhuatbhave to know what happens. I thought this was well written and so exciting to read. I would highly recommend this book.

<span;>This is a book that I had already read but and intrigued to see how it works translate to audio book. With such a complex story I wanted to really immerse myself in it and the audio version did just that. It really helped to elevate the imagery and the whole experience. Hearing the story play out made me feel like I was part of it even more and I felt engaged in a different way.
<span;>The story still felt exciting even though it were familiar and I think that credit has to go to the narrator. I become so invested in what they were saying I almost forgot I knew they story. This is a fantastic audio book and any fan of this genre should pick it up today.

Unlikely to Stay (A Parker Lake Novel Book 3)Unlikely to Stay by Ashlie Knapp
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unlikely To Stay by Olivia Sherwood is the third book in her Parker Lake Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although the others are definitely worth a read.
Brant is familiar with the feeling of not being wanted. After his parents died he was moved from one place to the next, never finding permanence. Not until his foster mum adopted him and gave him a home.
Determined to make something of his life he attends college. However the debt he is left with afterwards forces him to take a job in a small town. But the three years he will do in the small surgery will cover all the loans. And then he is out of here.
Or so he thinks. Then he meets CC. She is independent but lacking stability. Raised by hippie parents she basically brought herself up. They are both looking for completely different things in life. And yet they can’t seem to stay away.

I found this book to be really enjoyable. I really liked both Brant and Colleen. They were fully believable as characters. Their stories were relatable which really helped to be drawn into their journey. The writing was easy flowing and carried you along without issue. A great book and one I would recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a well written and fast paced book. From the moment you start reading the author has your attention. And for me I think that is all because of the main character. She is so far removed from what you would expect from a heroin. The struggles that she is going through and the gritty past she has make her so perfectly flawed that it really adds to the depth of this story.
I honestly enjoyed this book far.more than I expected I would. It is a cleverly written thriller and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

This is definitely quite an odd book to read as there is no set storyline to it. The author just seems to meander through the book with the help of a few characters. And yet it works. You don’t really miss not having that typical structure. You find yourself caught up in the story anyway and wandering along with it. I enjoy the range of different characters in the book and how they all felt unique. This is a strangely enjoyable read that I would recommend.
