Short, sweet and a little sad. It was nice to get a brief glimpse of Ethan's mind. I look forward to hearing even more!

I loved Lucid!! The more I hear about the ravens and Nara and co.'s powers the more I fall in love with this series! I have been up to my eye balls in vampire and angel stories, so I really enjoy reading something as unique as this series.


Nara was pretty awesome in this book, I liked the fact that she's learning how to defend herself and not just relying on Ethan, or whoever, to come save her all the time. She's a pretty incredible heroine, brave, smart, and kind. It would have been nice to see more of Ethan in this book but it was cool to get to know Drystan. I think he was a pretty cool guy and I'm really curious how he will fit into everything in the next book. And I am seriously on pins and needles here wondering what more Ethan knows!! I am also a little leery of that Danielle chick....cousin.....yeah isn't that convenient?!! Lainey seemed like a lot less of a self obsessed jerk in this book. She definitely seemed to be more of a true friend to Nara. I seriously CAN'T WAIT for the next book to come out, too bad it won't be here until the end of May :(

Artemis Fowl was a hard book for me to get through. I had trouble connecting to any of the characters, and I found the story to be a little boring. It was one of those books where I found anything that could distract me from reading to do just that. I also found myself skimming through a lot just to get through it as fast as I could. This book was just not for me....so on to bigger and better things.

This was a quick fun read. If you read and enjoyed Angel's Ink, then reading this short story about how Trixie got her start at Asylum should be good fun for you. And right now the ebook is only 99 cents, so you really have no reason not to pick up this book! Now on to the Bronx interview!

This short story was AWESOME! Jocelynn Drake has created an interesting world with the Aslyum books, and I can't seem to get enough! Both the Asylum Interview stories were quick reads, but very fun! I thouroughly enjoyed hearing how Bronx got his start at Asylum, it was a truly enjoyable story. I can't wait until the next book comes out!

Ok, did anyone else feel like you were playing a game of Clue whilst reading this? I kept thinking, it was the caretaker, Mr. Rogers, in the dinning room, with the candlestick lol. It was really a cleaver murder mystery novel. It was fast paced and it always kept me guessing. I thought I had it all figured out time and time again, until yet another twist happened and I was back at guessing yet again.

I really enjoyed the whole plot. The idea of someone taking a group of people who were guilty of another's death in ways that were unpublishable or unprovable by the standard system of law, and dispensing this vigilante justice. It's really an interesting storyline, maybe a little fantastic, but still quite captivating. There were never any lulls, the story was fast paced and always kept you on your toes. While I didn't really sympathize with any of the characters, I did take an interest into the mystery of it, I had to find out who did it!! It was a fun read and a nice break from the PNR that I have been drowning in lately.

3.5 stars

Ahhhh man. I was so excited for this book to come out. I absolutely LOVE Jennifer Armentrout books, and I really enjoy the Covenant series. For me, this book just fell a little short. Maybe it's because I have been in a reading funk this week, or maybe it's because my expectations were so high but either way, it just wasn't everything I was hoping it would be.

Am I completely alone in missing Seth a little?! Don't get me wrong, I love Aiden, I mean how could you not? But Seth is such a shithead instigator, and a welcomed comedic relief. I really enjoy his antics. He was mostly just an afterthought throughout all of this book. He was literally just in the back of Alex's mind. And Alex, wasn't the total smartass that I have come to love either. I get it, she's got a lot of heavy stuff happening and she's maturing, but I missed the smartmouthed trouble maker! It was nice to see Adien and Alex's relationship so out in the open in this book, but it's YA so naturally the steamy scenes were pretty tame. Bummer! Maybe I have been reading too many NA or Romance novels lately, but I was hoping for a little more.

I still love this series, and really look forward to the last book coming out in December. This was still a good read, it was just my least favorite in the series.

Wow. I have to start of by saying I started this book with some pretty low expectations. I have read a bunch of friend reviews on it, and it was pretty much split down the middle with people either loving it or hating it, there wasn't really any middle ground. I don't know what it was, but I couldn't put this down! I started Beautiful Disaster in the afternoon and I was not able to sleep until I finished it....which ultimately resulted in me being up until 4:45am devouring this. Any book that keeps me enthralled like that is well deserving of 5 stars.

The thing that really has me flummoxed is why so many people thought Travis was such a douche. Was he possessive and overly jealous...definitely. But that's about all I can fault him for. I felt like, although he didn't come right out and say it, it was apparent how much he cared for Abby from pretty much the very beginning. And I'm sorry but in my opinion, him sleeping with all the girls in the beginning.....who cares?! He's an adult, and he made it clear he had no intentions of being in a relationship with these women. They were consenting adults that knew his reputation and still threw themselves, spread eagle, on his couch! I feel no sympathy for them. Travis wasn't perfect, it was apparent all along that he had some issues, but the love he had for Abby was truly undeniable. I just don't get it, I have read plenty if other books with male characters with these same possessive traits, and everyone thought they were amazing, I really don't feel like Travis was any worse than these guys! And I have to say, I felt bad for him through a good portion of this book. Abby was infuriating! I will admit that when he got the tattoos, I was a little like....whoa there.....pump the brakes! Too soon, Travis, too soon.

Abby...oh Abby. I wanted to shake you so many times! She fained ignorance so many times, just so she wouldn't have to come to terms with the fact that she did truly want Travis. She knew how he felt! She just didn't want to admit it because she thought she needed some boring, cookie cutter, preppy boy, so she could pretend that her past never happened and that she was a good girl. No man makes a bet with the hopes of winning a month of you living with him because you're such a good friend. You don't sleep in the same bed as a man continuously, cuddle with him, grind on him, and spend every free minute together because you want to be each others friend. It was so frustrating! Every time she would go on a date with Parker and come home to a waiting, and pissy Travis, she just couldn't figure out what was bothering him....WHAT?! Are you serious?! Ummm, he's jealous dumbass! Because he wants you....in ways that are definitely beyond friendly. Ohhhhh and then at the end of the bet, when she finally acts on her true feelings and then leaves him without a word!!!!!!! What a hypocrite!! She was so disgusted with the way he treated women in the beginning and then she pulls that garbage?! Knowing that he wanted more....she was worse than him! Ok....now that I have that out of my system lol. Really though,the last half of the book, Abby wasn't so bad, there were a few more times I wanted to shake some sense into her, but it wasn't as bad as the beginning of the book.....mostly.

Sheply and America were both great secondary characters. They added a little balance to the extremity of Abby and Travis. America was a prertty great friend to Abby. She held her tongue a lot and was supportive, but she also told Abby some hard truths, and that's not a fun task but it is what a real friend does. Sometimes you need to hear the truth, even when it's not pretty. Sheply was also a wonderful person. He put up with a lot from Travis over the years, and still had the guy's back. I also LOVED the Maddox boys! How could you not fall for those ruffians?! They were like the lost boys and Abby was their Wendy. She was this young girl who swooped in and was strong enough to take some of their shit and sweet enough to give them some of the mothering that they so desperately longed for. I also enjoyed Abby's past, it was a lot more colorfull than I could have even imagined! It was an exciting twist for sure!

This is probably one of the longest reviews I have ever wrote, but I just had to get it all out!! This book had its hooks in me from start to finish, and I really enjoyed every minute. It was worth being up until 5am and being exhausted today!! And that's really saying something! I will definitely be looking into other books by Jamie McGuire!

The Girl of Fire and Thorns is a hard book to rate. I feel like the first 35% of the book was about 2stars and the rest was a 5star rating. In the beginning there was so much self loathing coming from Elisa that it was honestly off putting. I get that she was over weight, it really didn't need to be said over and over again. You really couldn't go 3 pages without having it thrown in your face. It could have been done so much better than that. But the last 65% of the book was so wonderfully done, that I had to give this book 4 stars.

The plot of this story was unique and really interesting. It was also fast paced and kept me completely engaged. The setting was also quite glorious. Rae Carson really created a fantastic world in this book. Admittedly, at the beginning I was not Elisa's biggest fan. But once she was making her trek to Joya d'Arena she starts to grown on me little by little. Every time the situation called for someone to step up, she shined. Once her physical appearance wasn't all she could talk or think about she really started to grow. She started this book as a child concerned with inconsequential things, and ended it a brave, caring, righteous hero. There were so many other characters that were truly fantastic in this book. I really couldn't get enough of this story. I will definitely be reading the next book! I look forward to seeing what comes next.
