Saving Wishes (Book one in the wishes series) by GJ Walker-Smith REVIEW!!!

Saving wishes (book one in the wishes series) by G J Walker Smith Review!!!

For Charli Blake, being seventeen is a tough gig. She's been branded a troublemaker, her reputation is in tatters and she's stuck in Pipers Cove, a speck of a town on the coast of Tasmania. Thankfully, it's temporary. Her lifelong dream of travelling the world is just months away from becoming reality. All she has to do is ride out the last few months of high school, which is easier said than done thanks to a trio of mean girls known as The Beautifuls. When Adam Décarie arrives in town, all the way from New York, life takes an unexpected turn. His arrival sets off a chain of events that alters her life forever, convincing her of one thing. Fate brought him to her. Saving Wishes is the story of a girl who doesn't quite fit the life she's living, and the boy who helps her realise why.

My Review

5*

I'm going to start this review by issuing a warning...This is one of the most addictive things that i've ever read....so unless you have unlimited time for the next week or two, i'd approach with caution! Walker Smith has created something with more magic and intrigue than Harry Potter and three leads that i defy you not to fall in love with! Between the obvious Adam and Charli romance and the adorable dynamic that she has with Alex (AKA the person who helped her believe in magic and co-creator of the fabulous La-La-Land) your in for an emotional journey of self discovery and a voyage to a place where magic and fairy tales are as much a part of every day life as oxygen and water. In the beginning my inner teenage self could definitely relate to Charli's desire to runaway from the small town she grew up in but as the story went on i found myself wishing she'd stay and learn to accept and appreciate the people around her. There was only really one character that i actively disliked and couldn't understand and that was Nicole. Everything about her annoyed me from the start...trust me you'll all agree later

On the whole, this book and series (because i find it impossible to judge this remotely fairly as a single novel) are amazing, magical, beautiful, charming and above all WELL WRITTEN! a thorough triumph!

FaCade by Ker Dukey & DH Sidebottom! SPOILER FREE REVIEW!!!!!

FaCade by Ker Dukey & DH Sidebottom! SPOILER FREE REVIEW!!!!!

WARNING! This book is Dark erotica.

This book contains situations that some may find offensive. If you are sensitive to graphic violence read with caution.

This book also leads into a second book. You will get answers but the story will continue into a final instalment. You have been warned. Enjoy.



You meet someone. You date. You fall in love. You marry.

The four simple rules of love....

Wrong! I'm getting married but I'd never met him before now, never dated him, never fell in love. I have no access to the memories of the most magical time of anyone's life.

My mind won't allow me to evoke the past, I can't remember those simple stages to lead me to the fourth .



I can't comprehend why I would have ever wanted to marry someone like Dante. I should never have passed the first stage, although, I may have seen him through the eyes of the woman I once was, this me that lives, breathes here now, can't understand how we made it to the next stage.

I'm not sure, without memories, how I know that this voice inside me, telling me I would never have chosen him, speaks some truth, I just know. He's controlling, arrogant, callous and violent, and utterly hell bent on humiliating and degrading me - Like watching me falter, watching me struggle to comply and be the woman he asked to marry, powers him- as though he wants to break me piece by piece. Fiber by fiber. Until all that's here is the shell he created from a soul that I once owned.



Now my memories are slowly returning. And they show me a completely different side to meeting him. Our dates, falling in love. The Dante haunting me in the shadows of my mind is loving, gentle and utterly enamored with me, nothing like the man with me now.

And this is what taunts me. My tender lover turned into a debauched, cruel sadist who is determined to consume my life, destroy my mind and murder my spirit.



I am, Star, and just like with some stars in the sky, the light you see is an echo, a façade, I am already gone

I am a no one.

Especially to him. To him I am the dark in his desires, the corrupt in his depravity.

The sin in his immorality

My Review

4.5*

Ok so even with the forewarning about this book and its cliff hanger ending I was still screaming at the end! Be warned it will drive you crazy and just when you think you are getting some answers... BOOM end of the book... I want to hate Dante I really do but for whatever reason I really can't 100% hate him! Its crazy frustrating when you love and loath a character... but that is Dante for me! I think he is such a fantastic character and because of his personality the whole book has a very addictive feel! I found I was needing to see how he reacted, would he explode? Would he apologise? I love how unpredictable he is! And Star well I just didn't know how I felt about her! At first I wasn't sure if she was going to annoy me or what but by the end I was starting to really like her! I love the up and down of the story but OMG I did not expect that ending and even though I hate cliff hangers I can't think of a more perfect way to end it. The whole story was so addictive I couldn't put it down, I just had to know what happened next! I cannot wait for Cadence! Such an amazing book, thank you Ker and Dawn for bringing this awesome book into my life!

Ten Below Zero by Whitney Barbetti! SPOILER FREE REVIEW!!!

Ten Below Zero by Whitney Barbetti! SPOILER FREE REVIEW!!!

WARNING: This is not a story about two happy people who fall easily into love. This is a story about two broken people who find one another - and don't necessarily like each other. These characters are blunt, rude, and at times annoying. They are broken and sheltered and vulnerable. 

This book has violence, sexual situations, and harsh language and is not recommended for those under 17. 

-- 

“In here,” he said, pushing on the skin above my heart, “you're ten below zero. And you’re closer to death than I am.” 

My name is Parker. My body is marked with scars from an attack I don’t remember. I don’t want to remember. I choose to live my life by observation, not through experience. While people are laughing and kissing and connecting, I’m in the corner. Watching them live. I’m indifferent to everything, everyone. The only emotion I feel with any kind of depth is annoyance, and I feel it often. 

A text message sent to the wrong number proves to be my undoing. 

His name is Everett, but I call him rude. He’s pushy, he’s arrogant, he crowds my personal space, and worst of all: he makes me feel. 

He chooses to wear all black, all the time, as if he’s waiting to attend a funeral. Probably because he is. 

Everett is dying. And he’s spending his final days living, truly living. In doing so, he’s forcing me to feel, to heal. To come face to face with the demons I suppressed in my memory. 

He hurts me, he fulfills me, he completes me. And still, he's dying.

My Review

5*

So my sister demanded I read this and I wasn't sure what to expect as she didn't give me any hints about the book at all so I had no idea what to expect! I'm not gonna lie and say I loved every word or even every page because I didn't... I didn't really like Parker until she started to feel it isn't because she isn't a brilliantly formed character because she is, it's because I wouldn't have tolerated her if she was real. But when her true personality starts coming through I think she is one of the strongest women characters I have come across and after that initial dislike I found myself really liking her! And Everett.... He is just awesome! He isn't your normal book bf and I think that's the appeal! I love that he is honest to a brutal point and I love his take no BS attitude! The story was amazing and I can honestly say that I did not see any of that coming! For me it wasn't predictable or unbelievable which are my two main things with books. I like it when they are unpredictable and believable, I don't like reading and thinking yeah that could never happen in real life (unless it is paranormal) So yeah by the end I loved both characters and thought the story was mind blowing! Its a very emotional story and whilst I rarely cry and haven't ever cried reading I very nearly did reading this! Whitney really did a fantastic job with this and I am so so glad she shared this with the world! Thank you Whitney!!!

BROKEN PROMISES BY KELLY ELLIOTT COVER REVEAL!!!

 AMAZON EXCLUSIVE RELEASE: DECEMBER 1, 2014

Jan 1, 2015 -- All Other Retailers

Pain.

Hurt.

Regret.

All of these are a result from broken promises.

Love.

Joy.

Happiness.

All of these are a result from finding someone’s way.

Love has two paths, happiness and heartbreak. Sometimes those paths intertwine. Sometimes we choose the wrong path. And sometimes we’re given the second chance to pick the right path. 

Which path will Walker and Taylor go down? Only time will tell…

Kelly Elliott is married to a wonderful Texas cowboy who has a knack for making her laugh almost daily and supports her crazy ideas and dreams for some unknown reason...he claims it's because he loves her!

She’s also a mom to an amazing daughter who is constantly asking for something to eat while her fingers move like mad on her cell phone sending out what is sure to be another very important text message.

In her spare time she loves to sit in her small corner overlooking the Texas hill country and write.

One of her favorite things to do is go for hikes around her property with Gus....her chocolate lab and the other man in her life, and Rose, her golden retriever. When Kelly is not outside helping the hubby haul brush, move rocks or whatever fun chore he has in store for her that day, you’ll find her inside reading, writing or watching HGTV.

***ELITE PAPERBACK LAUNCH DAY BLITZ***

When I won the annual Eagle Elite College Scholarship lottery, I was thrilled. After all, my grandma had just died and I wanted to take care of my aging grandpa -- he couldn't be a farmer in Wyoming forever. And graduating from Eagle Elite meant opportunity.

But I wasn't counting on meeting Nixon.

Nor was I counting on the rules of the Elect.

1. Do not touch The Elect.
2. Do not look at The Elect.
3. Do not speak to The Elect.

And worst of all? Don't discover the secret they hide, because in the end, you may just realize... it's about you.

*This is a New Adult Book, blood, violence, cursing, sexual references, and drug use. Not recommended for those under 17.*

Rachel Van Dyken The Bet SPOILER FREE REVIEW!

The Bet

.'I have a proposition for you.' Kacey should have run the minute those words left Seattle millionaire Jake Titus's mouth. It's been years since Kacey's seen her childhood friend Jake, but the minute Jake mentions his ill grandmother, Kacey is ready to do anything for the sweet old woman. And if that means pretending they're engaged for her sake-so be it.

But Kacey wasn't counting on Jake's older brother Travis still being there. She calls him 'Satan' for a reason: she's never forgotten the way he teased and taunted her. Yet when they meet again, Travis's gorgeous smile is a direct hit to her heart . . . and Kacey's more confused than ever. As the days pass, only one thing starts to become alarmingly clear-she never should have accepted Jake's deal . . .

My Review

4*

I found this book through Amazon recommending it and I am so glad they did! At the time I didn't really read any kind of Romance, I was more into Crime and Paranormal so I didn't really get why Amazon was recommending it but I downloaded the sample and gave it a chance anyway. After I read the sample I bought the book and spent the whole night awake reading it! I needed to know how it ended for my own sanity, and I defy anyone with a sense of humour to put down that book after reading about Grandma Nadine! Being in my 20s I was able to relate to the characters and found them immensely funny and realistic!  My favourite character by far is Travis, I just love his sense of humour and his mannerisms. They are just like the group of friends I have! I loved the story, I honestly didn't think it was going to go that way and I love that in a book... I mean what's the point in reading if you can predict the ending of the story? The only thing I would've liked to have was some of the book from Grandma Nadine's point of view.... The story didn't need it, the book was amazing without it, I would've just liked to have access to that woman's mind even if only for a paragraph! :) I adored the ending! To be honest I think it was this book that got me reading romance. It was definitely this book that got me hooked on Rachel Van Dyken!

Rachel absolutely adores hearing from her readers and here is where you can find her :)
