#BookReview: A TORCH AGAINST THE NIGHT by Sabaa Tahir

I loved the first book in this series, An Ember in the Ashes, so getting my hands on the sequel, A Torch Against the Night, was like winning the lottery. I’d like to start off by thanking Harper Voyager for giving copies away to lucky winners at YALC and for everyone else in the crowd for not getting in my way while booklust consumed me. I was filled with adrenaline and shaking for quite a while after I got my hands on this beautiful book! If you’ve read the first book, you’ll know it ends with a lot of excitement, […]

#BookReview: BEYOND YOUR TOUCH by Pat Esden

First off, if you haven’t read the first book yet, check out my review of A Hold on Me to see why you should definitely read it! I stand by what I said about the first book: this is a great New Adult paranormal series, one that I recommend to anyone who likes paranormal and a wants to try NA, or vice versa. Again, Annie was flawed and made plenty of mistakes. Plenty. She was jealous and paranoid and let it get the best of her, but I could understand why. The one relationship she’d had before had resulted in the guy ditching […]

#NAAugust #BookReview: A HOLD ON ME by Pat Esden

A Hold on Me surprised, delighted and frightened me. Annie and her father travel the country hunting down antiques and selling them. Before Annie can go off to make something of herself on her own, her father starts exhibiting symptoms of dementia…after visiting an abandoned church. Annie hides this fact as long as she can, but it’s not long before she must return with her father to his childhood home in Maine and the family he left behind 15 years before after a mysterious accident claimed the life of Annie’s mother. There, Annie begins to notice strange things and uncover […]

#NAAugust #BookReview: SMUT by Karina Halle

Smut exceeded my expectations; where I thought I’d get a fun little contemporary NA, I got comedy, commentary and chemistry. (Yes, I had fun with that little alliteration.) I thought it would be a nice 3-4 star read, but Jamie, having read the book before me, said she bet that I’d love it. AND I DID. I mean, it wasn’t without its flaws, but it made up for those with the great bits. Smut starts off with a hilarious, cringe-worthy prologue, setting up one of our characters: Amanda, AKA Sir Pukes-A-Lot. An aspiring author, Amanda works hard to ace her […]

#NAAugust #BookReview: THE WALL OF WINNIPEG AND ME by Mariana Zapata

Trigger warning: there is reference to past and present domestic abuse in this novel. Talk about slow burn. This book took 673 pages for two people to fall in love, which is sooooo unusual and amazing. Told from Vanessa’s point of view, we first meet Aiden as the stoic giant who doesn’t care about anything about his performance. He doesn’t have time to care about people or pleasantries, and I detested him at the beginning. And then…slowly…I don’t know how…I fell for him. It was such a slow thing, sneaking up on both me and Vanessa, but it was so […]

#BookReview: YOU BEFORE ANYONE ELSE by Julie Cross & Mark Perini

I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. I thought it would be superficial fun, but You Before Anyone Else was incredibly deep and thought-provoking, while still maintaining a balance of fun and, well, sexiness. The story surrounds Eddie and Fin, two 18-year-old models in NYC. Fin is trying to ditch her good girl image, while Eddie is just trying to ditch his life. After meeting at a party, Fin takes Eddie back to her place to experience what a one night stand is like. And here’s where I thought it would be a simple love story […]

Snap Reviews: Pop Culture Contemporaries for the Summer of ’16

It’s summer. England is actually experiencing a brief summer. YAY! That means it’s time for contemporaries, and I’ve read a few recently to share with you. I’m keeping these short and snappy, as no one wants heavy in the heat! I’m also giving away my copies of three of the books to UK peeps, so be sure to scroll down for more info. 😉 If you love boy bands, read LOVE SONG! Ever daydreamed about dating a celebrity? Same. The book had two parts: the first half involved Nina jetting around as an assistant to Little Miss High Maintenance, while […]
