Review


NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

 
It can’t end like that ?!?!?!?!?!

 
This little beauty didn’t end on just 1 cliffhanger oh no, it sucked me straight in and ended on 3 of them!

I actually shouted OMG on the bus haha!

Billy Dent is back and in NYC  - “Welcome to the game Jasper ma boy”

All of the gang are back and a couple of new characters, some I liked, some not so much J

Howie is still hilarious, Connie is still mostly very sensible, grandma is still a racist mad woman, and of course Jasper who is still Billy’s son and hears in his head regularly.

If you get the chance to listen to the audio definitely do it, the narration is perfect and Billy Dents accent will make you shudder.

I really can’t go into a lot as it will spoil the surprise but a couple of pointers, if you liked the 1st book you WILL love love LOVE this one but, it has a lot more gore in this one.

This has moved from being a YA book to nearer an adult book with a teenager put in the middle.

There is suspense, surprises and a lot of laughs, read it you will not regret it.

 

Ahh the feels, review to come

Review



I received this audio book for free in exchange for a true and honest review.

After going to Vegas for a friend’s bachelor party and drinking more than your average village, Cal wakes up with the mother of all hangovers!
He also seems to be naked..........and not alone!!!

Unfortunately it also isn't his wife that is naked in the room with him, Cal must decide what to do!

He actually is very honest and instead of the usual “what happens in Vegas” straight away tells his wife, who subsequently dumps him for cheating and asks for a divorce.

All of Cal’s friends (after telling him what an idiot he is) know that he never would have done anything to jeopardise his relationship with Shelly, he is head over heels in love with her and have to watch as he sinks lower and lower when he ends up having to sleep on a friends couch after being thrown out of his home.

After apologising over and over again to Shelly, Cal refuses to give her a divorce until she allows him 8 dates (weeks) to prove to her that their marriage is worth keeping and how much he loves her, and to gain her trust back.

I was pleasantly surprised with this book as cheating is not something that I take lightly yet I was quietly rooting for Cal to woo Shelly back.

Narration was excellent, I didn’t feel a need to speed up/ slow down the story and I could clearly distinguish all of the voices.

A great 4 star read.

This is book #2 in a series (note to self, check the book 1st doah!)

The characters in this book had been well established in the previous book however it did not stop my enjoyment of it.

Narration was very good and the characters all had their separate voices that were easy to distinguish.

This is a paranormal book which usually isn't my thing but I thought I would give it a try after I had just started the EIT series and hoped that it would be similar, which it is .....sort of.

The book was creepy enough to keep me entertained and I'll probably seek out the first book to read sometime.

This is a stand alone book told from Sarah's pov.

She goes from living on the street to working as a nanny for a family of 2 children, unfortunately both parents die and they leave in their will that they wanted Sarah to adopt them, so she does.

Sarah was a perfect parent, I mean PERFECT, we all love our kids but Sarah loves "her kids" more than anyone ever loved their own.

The love aspect in the book is lovely albeit creepy at times, I felt that the man was more of a stalker than a love interest sometimes.

The story is very light and fluffy, and reminds me a little of a Disney movie.

The speech in the book is very strange, there are no uses of contractions at all (new word for me wahoo!)

"Hello Sarah how are you today"

"Hello, I am very well thank you for asking, how are you"

"I am also very well, I am just going to get a cup of coffee, would you like to join me?"

"I would like to join you very much, thank you, you are very nice to ask me"

And so on....

Narration was good, I didn't feel the need to speed up or slow down and could clearly distinguish all of the characters.

I love these books so much!
JLA just has a way of sucking you in and making you care so much about the characters.

Roxy works in Mona's bar (owned by Jax from book #3) she has a best friend called Charlie, he is now in a care hospital after a horrific accident (caused by a homophobic douchecanoe ) he doesn't even know when she is in the same room with him anymore, he hasn't spoken for 6 years, and yet every week Roxy visits him and takes one of her painting for him.

Painting is Roxys life and she is brilliant at it, there is one thing, one person that she paints more than anything else......Reese Anders!

She has been in love with him since she was 15 and it has never faded, they even got together once, but he was very drunk and passed out before they did the deed.
After waking up in the morning and telling her that he regretted having sex with her, she doesn't mention the fact that they didn't actually get that far and hasn't spoken to him since!

This book had it all, angst in spades, hawt sex and a bit of a thriller to boot, I highly recommend this series. 

I'm so glad that I read this one and the next in the series instead of jumping straight into Night Huntress #5.

This book tells the story in between and we finally get to hear Spades story and how he ends up with Denise,
and also how she ends up being a shapeshifter.


Also the usual gang are there, with some extra Vlad for some spice.

I'm loving all of these books and I'm so glad I was bullied recommended to read them by my little Chickadees, thanks girlies ♡♡

This book probably need to be read quite close to the 1st as there is no real recap from it and it just dives right on in there so it was slightly confusing for me, luckily I was reading as a buddy read so we were able to remind ourselves on things/people.

The colours got quite confusing too at the beginning however by the time I had got a third into the book I was hooked again.

I can't wait until the 3rd book to find out what the hell went on and how Iris is going to be able to fix this mess she has gotten herself into!

This is the last book of the Stagedive series and I'm sad to say goodbye to all of the characters.

Lizz finds out she is pregnant after a one night stand with Ben, bass player of Stagedive.

Ben is not the relationship type at all so he has to come to terms with the fact that he now has responsibilities, this also gets rammed into him by all of the other Stagedive boys.

All of the other boys have settled down and it is up to Ben now to man up and look out for Lizz, she is in love with him after all, even though he doesn't know it! 

If you haven't read this series
1. WHY, GO AND READ IT NOW
2. GO AND READ IT NOW!!!
