Only read it for a challenge and not a book that I would have even looked at.

I'm so glad I did, it was brilliant, I highly recommend it.

Once you get past the techie talk at thee beginning it turns into a funny thriller set in space!

This was an ok read for me not brilliant but not terrible.

World building was also nice and easy for a non Witch book loving person like me.

This definitely pulled me out of my comfort zone, and I like to do that because sometimes you find an absolute gem of a book, unfortunately for me this wasn't one however I did enjoy it.

Ivy and winter had some really good banter between each other and I love the fact that she was a lazy Witch, something that I would totally be.

I'm not sure if I would rush out to buy book 2 but I may get round to reading it in the future.



🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Hot Stuff Stars

Well if sexy firefighters are your bag, then this little beauty is just the thing for you!

Combust is about the 2nd Malone brother Grady, we saw the first Grant (The Cop) in [bc:Cuffed|31314066|Cuffed (Everyday Heroes, #1)|K. Bromberg|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1502979299s/31314066.jpg|51987291]

Even though this is book #2 in the series, they can all be read as Standalones.

Dylan McCoy is a songwriter, she has done very well for herself and made quite a name for herself in the music business, she even now writes songs for a famous rockstar, who she was involved with for a couple of years........that was until she found him in bed with someone else!

Nursing a broken heart she decides to get away from life for a while, this is going to be difficult, because she is still under contract and still has to work with the rockstar and pretend everything is "Hunky Dory" with their love life (because of said contract)

After speaking to her brother he convinces her to go and stay at his best friends house for a while, so she packs her things and sets out for Sunnyville.

Grady is a firefighter, he is a kind, sweet man who has his own problems to deal with, but being the nice guy that he is, lets his best friends sister room at his house for a while.

When Dylan and Grady meet, well they immediatly hit it off and become friends, but there is an underlying attraction between them.

When that atraction is unleeshed, well lets just say that it is good that Grady is a Firefighter, cause it is SMOKING 🔥🔥

Dylan is very insecure about herself, her rockstar boyfriend Jett cheated on her with a gorgeous stick thin model, and Grady, well Grady has his own scars, some you can clearly see.

I loved this story, the characters were wonderful people that had been dealt shitty blows.

There were a couple of lump in the throat moments, and also a time where my heart was in my mouth!

🎧🎧Excellently narrated by the perfect dreamteam duo Andi Arndt #SexyVoiceQueen and Sebastian York #SebYes this is one that you should add to your TBR.



⭐⭐⭐⭐ Memory Lane Stars

I really enjoyed this one, as it was set in the 80's for part of the story, it conjoured up a lot of memories for me, like Woolworths, and Pick 'n' Mix.

The story was good and the characters were very well written.

Stephen King fans will see a slight nod to The Long Walk (A short story that was then made into a movie Stand By Me, which is awesome if you haven't seen it)
And even the King himself has said that 'If you like my stuff, you'll like this' Which is very high praise indeed.

Told in a duel timeline 1986 as a child, and 2016 as a teacher, Eddie is still coming to terms with the fact that him and his friends found a body in the woods, a murder that has never been solved.

They all played games as children, and one of these was communicating with Chalk Man figures drawn on the floor, each friend was represented by a different colour.

One day Eddie receives an envelope through the door with a drawing and a piece of chalk, and this gives him enough courage to try and get more information about the unsoved crime.

Growing up myself in the 80's, this book gave me great pleasure being reminded of certain things, and the story was very well paced.

🎧🎧Narration of the audio book was great, Andrew Scott and Asa Butterfield really brought the characters to life.
All of the charaters had their own voices, and i was never wondering what person was talking, or who was who🎧🎧

🌹this book is part of #SundaySwap with my blog partner and I..... we recommend books to each other that are a little out of our comfort zone, curious to see what she thought of the Horror book that i gave her 😂
