Review
I was looking forward to reading this book as it has really high reviews, and I love to stalk 5☆ books.......however it was just a bit mehhh for me I'm afraid.
The story had promise, woman goes to the store to pick up some carrots for dinner, there is a robbery, and she gets shot in the head (well the bullet scrapes her head) and after that she can read minds.
There was a little humour in there, although it was never laugh out loud funny, and it never really got going, I was waiting for this big finale, but the ending was just all wrapped up with a pretty bow and a wink!
I'm sure that this will appeal to a lot of people, and my mum for one will love it, but I'm afraid I didn't so much, although I may just read the next book sometime when I'm bored just to see where they go with the story, as I'm struggling to see how they can make it into a series.

Sleep on a floor in a derelict house?
Struggle to feed yourself every day?
Are you underweight due to the lack of food you are eating?
Do you hate being unclean and smelly?
Do you want to be beautiful?
Then all YOU need to do is pop down to PRIME DESTINATIONS and we can solve all of your problems.
Small print …….Prime Destinations will insert a microchip into your brain and hook you up to another person so they can be you, the other person is an “Ender” (an old rich person who age is on average 100 yrs old). Here the Ender will leave their body wired up and enter your body, becoming you for a week/month/year……however long you signed up to rent your body out for. You will of course be paid well for this “donating” and we will also make you beautiful again. Your new body user will sign a contract to make sure that they use your body in the best possible way without damaging it at all
Come on down to PRIME DESTINATIONS to make your dreams of being rich a reality.
Callie is aware of Prime Destinations (the body bank for short!) Her and her brother Tyler are starving, and he is really ill, she finds that she has no choice but to donate her body for a time to get money to pay for her little brothers treatment, and to get enough money for them to maybe buy a home for them both…………This was a bad mistake, she knew it as soon as she leaves Prime Destinations, she knows it as soon as she starts to black out, she definitely knows it when she wakes up with a gun in her hand.!
Good book with a story that kept me engaged all the way through, a couple of good twists too that I didn’t see coming, I will definitely look out for the 2nd book in the series to find out what happens.

Another one on my favourite list, I absolutely love this series.
Yes it's silly, yes it's unbelievable but I love them.
I've already told my GR buddies that I'm moving to Denver, I had LOTS of volunteers to show me the way and come on the love bus haha!
This book is about Vance and Jules aka The Law.
In true Denver style Jules stands no chance after Vance chooses that she is his, and nothing that she does can dissuade him.
This book was a little bit different as near the end we hear the POV from all of the main characters which I loved, and even though this story was just as funny (and sexy) as the others, it seemed a lot more serious.
I can't wait to start the next book, and move onto some of her others to see if they are just as good.

I really enjoyed this book, I was slightly worried as me and PNR do not seem to get on very well, however I was slightly in love with the authors other series and I hoped that this would be as good………..and it was phew!!
Layla lives with the wardens, who are gargoyles and protect the world from Daemons, trouble is although Layla herself is half Warden, she is also half Daemon too !!!
Ms Armentrout tends to write her hot men HAWT, Zane didn’t sound like my cup of tea (although I’m sure I probably wouldn’t kick him out of bed if he farted!!) but Roth PPHHEEWWW!!!! He was smoking hot
Zane is a warden, Roth is a daemon, queue the love triangle, however it wasn’t a roll your eye type of triangle as one of the people involved Layla can not even touch!
I can’t wait to read the next book in the series to find out what happens as the book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger!

Okay I'm going to say it........I DIDN'T LIKE THIS BOOK!!!!........Phew, that was easier than I thought!
It could have been really good.....but it wasn't, it was dull, dull, dull!
Katsa is graced, you know this because she has 2 different coloured eyes, graced people are basically gifted with types of superpowers, not flying and stuff, but fighting, mind reading, weather watching??, things like that.
Katsa is a fighter, a great fighter and nobody can beat her, she lives and is being raised by her uncle, who also happens to be the King.
She does all of the Kings dirty work for him, torture, maiming that sort of thing!
She does not agree with what the king asks her to do, so she has formed a secret council, that basically keeps an eye on all of the seven kingdoms in the realm.
Still with me ??............
Someone from the council brings a mission for her to go on, and then she is off all guns ....umm arrows a blazing!
Here we meet Po, I think we are supposed to swoon here.......go ahead I'll wait.......
Okay finished?
Po joins Katsa on the mission and this is where the fun starts, be prepared for an intense ride.......Yawn!!
The usual YA love starts, but in this instance Katsa does not want to marry, doesn't want to be tied down to a man.......Girls Unite.!!, I'll just wait while you burn your bra, as this book is full of feminine rights **pumps fist in the air**
Katsa and Po?!?! It didn't work for me at ALL, it doesn't really state the age of them but we know they are young, and depending how young they are meant the sex, although a small mention was a bit icky for me.
I think this is a love or hate book, sorry but I hated it!!

I can’t really be bothered going into much detail about this book, it would have been a 2 and a half star, but it picked up about 80% in, so I am going to be generous and give it another half, because that’s the kind of gal I am!!
I will however give you the complete story in images.
Once upon a time there was a girl called Tate who moved in next door to a boy called Jared ……… this is their story.
Then …….
Then…..
And a spoiler that I won’t show because I’m not a complete Douchebag like Jared.
I didn’t like him at all, Tate was a doormat, and I wanted to kill all of his friends, apart from that it was mehh!!
A poor 3* read!
