I Hunt Killers was a very interesting book. The beginning was a little slow for me, in the sense that it took me a little while to get accustomed to being in Jazz's head. After awhile I just accepted it and started to think maybe that's exactly what the author was intending. Why should I be comfortable inside Jazz's mind when even Jazz himself can't stand it half the time! It kept me constantly trying to figure him out. Which was exactly what Jazz was trying to do. It was like you were going through all the motions with him, wondering at the same time as he was if he was going to just pick up a knife and maybe do something naughty. There was also a bunch of dark humor that went on throughout the book, which was really nicely done. The "who done it" mystery didn't really come as a shock to me, but there was so much more going on with the story that it really didn't matter, I felt like it was clear that this story really was about more than that. I really look forward to seeing what the next book holds in store for Jasper.

This was a great read. It really surprised me. Slammed dealt with so much more than I had anticipated. I loved all of these characters, each one brought something unique and beautiful to the story. Really this was a great story about love, life, family, friends, growing up, and and dealing with all the things that could go wrong along the way. I really loved so much about this story, and I just noticed that there is a second book!!! So naturally I will be adding that to my to-read list.

I won a copy of Hidden from a Goodreads giveaway, thanks Goodreads! Honestly, this book was kind of hard to rate, there were things that I liked, but also a pretty big thing that I really didn't enjoy.

I guess I will start with the positives. I truly enjoyed the whole plot, it was interesting and knowing that this is only the first book in a series, I think it was setting the foundations for what will hopefully be, a pretty incredible world. The ending was especially well done, and ultimately made me decide that I would probably continue with this series.

Unfortunately the thing I disliked about this book was kind of an important part....the characters. Not really that I disliked them, some of them just seemed very flat to me. Like they weren't fully developed.They have all their basic features, but nothing really distinguishable or unique (personality wise). I had a hard time caring what the hell happened with Ebony because I had nothing invested in her, she was so one dimensional. Truthfully, I felt like a lot of the characters were that way. Jordan was the only one that I can really say stood out.

I think I would be interested in seeing where the story goes from here, I just hope in the next book the characters are little better developed.

This book surprised me. It kept popping up on my B&N homepage, right in the best sellers category, being compared to Fifty Shades of Grey. I ignored this for months. Then one day last week I went on a ebook buying spree and picked up a bunch of books, and noticed that this was only 99cents and said, what the hell. I read some love it and hate it reviews, not a lot of imbetween, and really didn't have any high expectations going in.

After the first 30 pages, I was not impressed, I put it down and ranted to my boyfriend for awhile about all these slutty romance books that have the same themes, you know the ones....the slutty millionaire, domineering bad boy that finds this shy, delicate, virginal, self conscience, hidden beauty and after a bunch of wild sex and drama, her magical vagina tames the rich bachelor of his scandalous ways and they live happily ever after. The Stranger, surprisingly, took all my rantings, shoved them back in my face and made me swallow every last word. I'm not too prideful to admit, I was wrong.

At only 133 pages, it packed a punch. There was of course some mouth watering sex scenes, I mean it is an erotic romance after all, but...there was more than just that. It took you on this women's journey of self discovery. It took things like cheating, lying and general sneakiness, which I usually find distasteful, and made you focus on the larger picture. This was a story about so much more than sex.


Kasie was a women who thought she had it all figured out, she had the things she always thought she wanted, the high brow college degree, a successful career, a safe and stable relationship with a well to-do man. It wasn't until one night of "letting her hair down" in Vegas with a stranger, that she started to question all the things she thought she had wanted. Throughout this story you see her constant struggle with the women she has made herself to be, she is now questioning everything. Even though I didnt always respect her decisions, The more i got to know her, the moe I could understand why she did what she did. I loved the dilemma this book brought to light...how do you find yourself and YOUR true desires amoungst what other people have expected and shaped you to be? I feel like is a struggle that almost everyone can relate to.

I throughly enjoyed this book and I already purchased the next installement, and really look forward to seeing what happens next!

Delirium was an interesting book. The whole idea of love being a disease that needed to be cured, was a really neat idea. Could you imagine growing up being told to be fearful of the very thing that makes life worth living?

Lena was the very embodiment of this idea. She knew nothing but what she had been taught all her life. Which really is quite terrifying if you think about it, aren't we all like that in a sense? We start life a blank slate, we then grow and learn from other people and our environment what things are wrong, or what things are right, which things are good, which things are bad. So really this world Lauren Oliver has created isn't so outrageous to me, and that is frightening!! To grow up not even realizing you are a prisoner, living a hallow life. How sad to even imagine it!

While I loved the whole idea of this book, some parts seemed to drag along at times. I found myself skimming through a few pages here and there because some of the stuff just felt unnecessary. I wanted to get to the good parts!! Some of the plot twists were fairly obvious, but I still found the story as a whole to be enjoyable. It was the first book in a series, so I'm hoping in the books to come that there is a little more action. I think this was a pretty good start though and I really love the whole world Lauren Oliver has created and I think things are going to get a lot more interesting in the next book! The end was so cliffhangery!! I want to see what happened to everyone!! And of course I'm wait listed at the library for the next books. *sigh*

Fracture was a pretty good read. It started out with a bang and kept up a steady pace. I liked the whole idea of Delany waking up from her coma with a strange new....awareness.

Even though Delany was pretty whiney throughout most of the book, I was still hoping things would work out for her in the end. I LOVED Decker! He was so sweet. You could tell how Decker felt about Delany from the very beginning, unfortunately Delany was not to quick to figure it out. Troy was an interesting character to throw in the mix. He was anything but boring. This book kept my interest from start to finish, it was a relatively quick fun read!

This book surprised the hell out of me! It reminded me why I liked this series in the first place. I needed that. I swear after the last book I considered just being done with this series, but I'm so glad I gave it another chance. Destined for an Early Grave had everything I had been missing from this series since the first book, and much more!

I loved what I got from all the characters in this book! I had been starting to think for awhile now that Bones was not the strong badass I remembered from the fist book. Well I guess he has always been strong and what not, but the past few books I felt like he took a lot of shit from Cat, and his blinding all consuming love for her kind of softened him up. And I'm sorry but Bones is someone I don't want being all passive, even if its with Cat. Well this book gave me what I had been missing for awhile, Bones exactly how I wanted him. He still had overwhelming love for Cat, but he seemed more himself. He was jealous,angry and fearsome, and I felt like he finally stopped coddling Cat. Thank god. And Cat was better for it. Cat was her usual snarky self, which always amuses me. I also loved this blossoming friendship between Cat and Vlad. Oh Vald, why are you so awesome?! Seriously I couldn't get enough if him in this book. Even the new ghostly addition to this group was a nice development.

I really enjoyed pretty much everything going on in this book. The humor was back with a kick, I laughed quite a few times. The story line kept me interested and, as I said before, the characters really did it for me. This book has officially renewed my love for this series, and I will be continuing on with the next book because of it. I just hope that the things I love continue to shine through in the following books.

I have to say, One Week Girlfriend was a pretty good book. It was nice to read a NA book where the girl wasn't a virgin and the guy wasn't a man whore. I liked that, a lot. It was a nice change of pace.

Fable and Drew both had some screwed up families. But this story was mostly about Drew. I figured out what was going on with Drew and his family turmoil pretty early on. But I think it was meant to be rather obvious. It was horrible. I think this story was more about Drew healing, letting go of the past and finding a way to let someone else in.

In comes Fable. She was amazing. I loved her pretty much instantly. She was such a strong and caring person. It's truly admirable the way she takes care of the people around her, especially her younger brother. She was a guarded person too, but underneath the tough exterior, she clearly cared a lot about people. I can definitely see why she would be such a good thing for Drew. Although I am curious how much being with him would benefit her. Besides the fact that she wouldn't be so lonely. I think we will get a clearer picture of that in the next book though, which I really look forward to reading when it comes out. This book ended on such a bittersweet note, and I'm curious what the future holds in store for these two.

I have to start by saying that as a child I was raised by my Grandparents, and my Grandpa had a deep love for westerns and comedies. I have watched countless western movies with him, and eventually developed a taste for them. This was the first western themed book I have ever read and it was pretty great. Putting all the sex aside, and believe me this book was chalk full of sex, it was a pleasently surprise how comfortably I slipped back into the world of gunslinging ruffians. It was something I didn't even realize that I had missed until I started reading this book.

I loved the whole idea of the Hell's Eight. This band of brothers that stuck together throughout the years and established their own community together. I only wish we would have got to know them all better. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they each had a book describing them more in detail individually. Kind of like a Lords of The Underworld type of thing. I would definitely be on board for learning more about these dangerous men.

Caine and Desi's story was one of hardship. But being that it's the "Wild West" I wouldn't expect anything else. It was hard to read some of the things that poor Desi had endured, but it did make it that much sweeter to see all that she had gained. I really liked how Caine had a special place in his heart for, I don't want to say it was taming wild horses, more like harnessing that wildness. And I loved how much that played into how he handled his wild wife.

I don't know what the problem was but I had an ebook library loan of this book and there was a TON of errors in it. Usually things like that really don't bother me, but this one was so bad. Words were broken up and it constantly had me rereading things just to make sense of it. It was quite annoying. This was still an enjoyable read though, and I definitely see myself reading more about these mysterious men in the future.

I enjoyed Pandemonium. Truth be told, I liked it even better than Delirium. I liked how each chapter alternated between the past (right where Delirium had ended), and the present (months later).

I also thought Lena grew up a lot in this book. She was borderline annoying in the first book with all her whining. But having gone through the loss of her "old live" and everyone in it, and also having to learn to survive in the wilds, it really matured her. She was a very strong character in this book, and I liked her so much more for it. There were a bunch of new characters in Pandemonium, which was awesome. I really liked, pretty much all of them, Raven, Tack and especailly Julian. Even though I was still missing Alex, I couldn't help but to warm up to Julian. He was just as confused as Lena was in the first book. It was quite nice getting to know him.

I found that the plot twists were, yet again pretty predictable, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the story anyways. I can't wait to read the next book!! Seriously, I really don't know what's in store for the next installement....and I like that! I look forward to seeing how everything works out!
