Review

Actual rating 2•5 ☆


I'm sorry A.S King, I'm mean it's not you honestly, it's me.

I just didn't like it as much as everyone else I think I'm in a book rutt. ......This will be my 3rd bad one in a row, what if this is it???? What if I have read all of my best books and I am forever doomed to read dog crap for the rest of my life ....*shudders*

Vera and Charlie are best friends, they have been for years......The thing is Vera is really mad with Charlie and hates him.........oh yeah and he's dead!!

The book flips between past and present, Vera, Charlie (yes while he is still dead) Veras father and a Pagoda......yep you also read that right too!

It was well written and kept you listening to the end but I got bored with it.

It reminded me a little like The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, I would possibly say if you liked that, you will love this.

"Hi, I'm the guy who reads your e-mail, and also, I love you . . . "

Lincoln O'Neil has a new job as an Internet security officer, he thought that it was going to be building firewalls and stopping hackers, unfortunately he turns out to be the company email stalker!

Lincolns job is to read all of the company emails that have been "flagged" as inappropriate and send them a warning, however he stumbles across conversations between Beth and Jenny and can't help himself.

I loved this book, it had laugh out loud moments, and also heartbreaking ones, I loved the fact that you were kind of in Lincolns head as you were reading the emails.

A good fun read 5☆

Review

Actual rating 3.5 *

What if you were going to see your parents for the last time before you were leaving the house?
What would you do?
Would you tell them that you loved them?
Or would you just run to catch the bus, as you actually don't know that this is going to be the last time you ever see them, you don't know that it is pretty much going to be the end of your life as you know it!

This is another end of the world book, but a nice short read (about 6 hrs)

Dean and his "friends" all end up being stuck in a superstore as the air is poisonous to breathe to certain people, this starts out as a great time and they have fun and play games, but it soon turns into something not so much fun.

I enjoyed the book, a nice quick 3.5* read and I will read the next one to see what happens to them all.

I didn't like it as much as the 1st book, but enjoyed it, it was good to find out what happened to the kids.

I will definitely read the 3rd one to see how everything wraps up and what happens to Dean and Alex.

Review

I couldn't get into this book at all, it is all based on the fact that you believe that "Ben" (not his real name) is a trained assassin and has regular assignments to bump people off. ......However he is only about 15yrs old, so I didn't!

This assignment happens to be a member of the government but there is one problem......His daughter Sam, queue YA love interest and backing out.

It's a shame really as it could have been a really good story, but I had no interest in any of the characters at all.

A disappointing 2•5☆

Book: Killing Sarai (In the Company of Killers #1)

Genre: New Adult

Type: Audiobook.

Book rating: ☆☆☆☆.5

Narration rating: ☆☆☆☆

Review

Actual rating 4.5 ☆

I was slightly nervous about reading this after reading the Dark Duet series, I like dark but not too dark. But I was pleasantly surprised as I really enjoyed this book, and I think I have a new book boyfriend in Victor….Yummy!!

Sarai has been captive for 9 years, she is being held in a house and as sex slaves go is being treated quite well by Javier, as opposed to the others in the compound.
Javier is a Mexican drug dealer and he was “given” Sarai when she was 14!

Sarai is sick and tired of all of the brutal raping of the other slaves there, and her opportunity comes to escape when an American Hit-man comes on the compound to talk business with Javier, she manages to sneak out and get into his car and hide.
Unfortunately Victor (the hit-man) knows that she is in the car straight away, but she manages to convince him to let her stay in the car and escape with him.

But the problem now is that she has escaped the clutches of one violent man, straight into the care of another, Victor is dark and dangerous…….and I LOVED him !!!!


This book kept me reading right to the very end and I was really sad to have it finish, but it left me wanting to read the 2nd one straight away.

A cracking 4.5 ☆ read.



Book: Dear Daughter

Book rating: ☆☆☆☆

Narration rating: ☆☆☆☆

Review


I really enjoyed this book, it was clever and very funny.

The audio is really good as it had breaking news flashes and incoming text messages with all of the music and using different narrators etc.

Jane Jenkins is in prison for the murder of her mother, but did she really do it ? Even she doesn't really know.

After being released she goes off on her own to find out as much information as she can, and also to hunt down her mothers killer.


The narrator for this was really good, and I loved the MC Jane / Janie / Rebecca!!


A really good 4* read

What can I say, I'm a sucker for a love story, and a hot man!

This book has both!

India has been in love with Lee since she was 5 years old, she tried to get him many times and he always turned her down, now he wants her.

Lee is a badass, he owns a security company and helps hunt people down, above and below what is strictly legal!

Oh yeah, then there is the missing diamonds, bar brawls, coffee making, hilarious characters and hot sex!

What more do you want in a book.

A funny, steamy 5☆

This book made me cry, especially the end, I was sobbing into my pillow.

This makes you take a good look in the mirror and give yourself a good talking to, are you really as nice to everyone as you think you are? Could you be a better person?

I hope I am ......
