Title: The Merciless
Author: Danielle Vega
Genre: Young Adult | Mature Audience | Morbid
Rating: 3.5 | 5

Synopsis: Goodreads

Review:
I am very impressed with Danielle Vega. I really enjoyed this, she kept me interested throughout the entire book. The beginning definitely reels you in, it’s one of those books where you don’t wanna stop reading until you finish. Because you need to know what happens next. All the characters, side and main are so intriguing. I love how to detailed it is. I didn't have trouble imagining the things being said and done, at some parts you sort of wish you couldn’t imagine it, that the Author wasn’t so detailed.. 
  • Sofia: I really don’t like the main character at all. I found her to be spineless, weak, easily manipulated, judgey, and a follower. Just someone I would not like at all. She was so desperate to make new friends and “forget her past” she couldn’t see what was right in her face. She’s easily pressured into doing things she does not want to do, and soon regrets it after. She’s the girl who doesn’t know how to say no. What I don’t understand is if I’m reading from the main characters point of view and I can see the signs of crazy from the people around her, how come she can’t? I just don't get it… UGH I feel as if it's missing something, and I didn't like or connect with the main character.
The book is gruesome, twisted, and fucked up. I don’t think I can count on all my fingers and toes the amount of times I said “what the fuck” because you will say it. Probably not those exactly words but something close to it. The book reminded me so much of a twisted Mean Girls. I don’t know if I recommend this book, because you should read the synopsis and definitely make your own claim. 
The book is like a  horror film. Is very entertaining, but like a scary movie there isn’t a purpose, moral, or lesson to the story. It was simply to entertain and scare. I didn’t find the book scary at all, just morbid. I won't ever be rereading this book again so personally it wasn't worth the $18 I spent. If you decide to read this: great, I hope you enjoy it! :)

Title: Stay With Me 
Author: Jennifer Armentrout writing as J.Lynn 
Genre: New Adult | Semi-Adult 
Rating: 5 | 5 shots ;)

Synopsis: Goodreads 

Review: 
I’ve always been speechless when it came to Jennifer’s books. Actually wait no, that’s a lie. A ginormous lie because if you’ve been on my blog long you know I love her books and I pretty much can’t stop talking about them, praising her, and calling her Queen. Because let’s be honest, she is. She is the Queen writer of all hot men, angst, and steamy steamy things. 
Captivated, bewitched, enthralled. I was grabbed by the collar and dragged in a delusion where this world became really all over again. Talk about being captivated, huh? Like all her books there was humor, wit, and charm. So much damn charm it can knock the panties off a nun. These characters were real and damn it seemed that way to me. It seemed so real. Her writing is exquisite and just gets better every time I read a new book of hers. I absolutely adore the characters: 
  • Calla: She’s like a cookie. She’s really soft and sweet both inside and out, but she has this layer of badassery on the outside where you sort of don’t wanna get on her bad side. I adore her character because of her strength through out the whole book. She was definitely put through the ringer and stayed a champ throughout the whole thing. Like a normal person, she complained but sucked it up and made the best of the situation at hand. And let me tell you there were ALOT of situations going on in this girls life. At one point I just raised by arms and was like “Ok, someone give her a break. Send her to paradise because she needs it.” I like that she’s a really relatable character, she’s flawed, beautiful, smart, and driven! She has such a beautiful character development through out. She grew to be a beautiful flower. She started off as this small little bud hidden in the shadows. Then she met Jax - bright, beautiful, protective and he built her up. Slowly she started to grow, then fully blossom. 
  • Jax: Jackson James, now if that name just doesn’t do it for you than I don’t know if anything ever will because that is freaking hot. He is freaking hot actually, beautiful BROWN eyes (Yes people, Jennifer Armentrout made poop colored eyes seem hot) dark luscious hair, and broad shoulders that are connected to the body of an Ex-Marine. I loved Jax, he is charming right off the bat and I just enjoyed the way he works. He’s so good to Calla, and their interactions are simply adorable. He’s very protective of her and not in a man cave kind of way, just safety. And the things you learn in the end are simply beautiful. 

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. I really really enjoyed it! The book seems a lot darker compared to the rest of the books in this series. The other were like unicorns compared to this, and I enjoy that about this book. It gave it realism. It has everything you expect from a Jennifer Armentrout book. It has the: wit, humor, steamy steamy, hot guys, cute couple, and happy ending. It’s beautifully written, and keeps you sleepless. I definitely recommend reading the Wait for you series from the beginning including the Trust in me novella. Hope you’ve all enjoyed this and happy reading! <3

Holy cannoli, y'all! It's finally here! We are so excited to bring you the Release Day Launch for K.A. Tucker's BURYING WATER! BURYING WATER is a New Adult Romantic Suspense novel, published by Simon & Schuster and it will blow. You. Away! Check out the excerpt, teasers, and giveaway then run--don't walk--to your nearest retailer!



Burying Water

Amazon ** Barnes & Noble ** iBooks ** Kobo ** IndieBound 

About BURYING WATER:

The top-selling, beloved indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.

Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him?

Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.

The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.


BW Teaser 3
This can’t be real . . . This can’t be real . . . This can’t be real . . .

The words cycle round and round in my mind like the wheels on my speeding ’Cuda as its ass-end slips and slides over the gravel and ice. This car is hard to handle on the best of days, built front-heavy and overloaded with horsepower. I’m going to put myself into one of these damn trees if I don’t slow down.

I jam my foot against the gas pedal.

I can’t slow down now.  (read more.. excerpt)

Title: Opposition (Lux #5)
Author: Jennifer Armentrout
Genre: Young Adult
Rating: 5 | 5

Synopsis: Goodreads

Review:

It feels like yesterday I was reading Obsidian for the first time, and falling in love with all the characters. Not one book in this series disappointed me, and I am grateful to Jennifer Armentrout for making these characters. Like the Harry Potter series, those books mean a lot to everyone. And I’ve never read that series (I know, you wanna linch me now) but these books are that important to me. It’s always bitter sweet when something ends and even though I am sad to see all the characters go, they deserve a break from all the chaos. 
It took me a bit longer than expected to finish this book. I was originally going to finish it in about a day, and I could of. If I didn’t hide it from myself and purposely leave the house so I wouldn’t read it. I just couldn’t bring myself to finish.. Like the rest of the Lux series, this is filled with passion, and action. What I love in this series is that the books always start off right from where the last one ended. The ending to Origin wasn’t necessarily a cliff hanger, but a jaw dropper. A what the french bull dog just happened! And honestly the rest of Opposition continued like that as well. So many times I found myself surprised and going “Uh, wait what?” or “Well that escalated quickly” which is always because Daemon. I don't know where, and I know you will agree with me on this but this book definitely took a turn into the steamy side of YA, because man did it start to feel a little New Adultish for me! I love new adult, so no complaints from me. 

The characters didn’t stay the same, they all grew so much and changed dramatically. Their lives took such a different turn then expected but they were all so strong. I love the passion and chemistry between Daemon and Katy. They’re so in love and it’s so beautiful to see them both mature.. Well sort-of ;) I love Dawson, Dee, and all the new characters that were added to their little bandit of badassery. I loved that the series left me with no un answered questions. Each characters fate, was told. We were given clarity for all of them, and got to see them. Over all, I’m in love with this series. I’m juggling emotions of happiness and sadness because I don’t want it to end, but I don’t want them to go through anymore than they already have gone through. This is my all time favorite series, and has such a special place in my heart. I hope you all check out the book, and enjoy! After five books of our beloved characters being in Danger, they finally get the ending they all deserve. Every single one of them..
