Review: Reboot - Amy Tintera

    Needing a change of reading materials ? Wanting to move away from Romance and Supernatural stories ? Check out Amy Tintera's new release and stay tuned as it has already been rumoured to be a creation in film.   Review: Reboot - Book #1 Reboot Series - Amy Tintera - May 2013 Needing to move away from the world of Romance and New Adult fiction which not to say is awful but it's whats cluttering our bookshelves ? Try Amy Tintera's debut novel Reboot - set in a world which was a cross for me between The Hunt Trilogy by Andrew Fukuda and The Generation Dead Series by Daniel Waters. All around the states , children are dying everyday from either deaths of gunshots or dying of the disease KDH. What's happening though to the children after they die is the shocking thing as their bodies are rebooting after dead. The longer it takes for their body to reboot , the more skilled they are at becoming the much-needed assassin. For Wren , she died 5 years ago...

Review: Parallel - Lauren Miller

    Do you love reading time-travelling books of sorts ? Wanting to read a novel that will keep you thinking ? Check out Lauren Miller's new novel ...... Review: Parallel - Lauren Miller - May 2013 One of my favourite things about book reviewing is getting the chance to read and review books before they are available to the public :). Have you ever read a book that you thought was really weird and odd , confusing at times -well most of the time but in saying that you couldn't put it down and you just had to continue reading it with the hope that it would either change or later on make sense ? For me that book was Parallel by Lauren Miller. Unsure what to expect, the novel started out like a normal story with the main character Abby in L.A filming a movie and hanging out with her newfound friends for her 18th Birthday. Feeling tired, she headed to bed and from that night she soon found herself bouncing around in different scenarios and parallel universes Whe...

  In the mood for a murder mystery? Have you been enjoying the Jacob Striker series by Sean Slater? Ready for Book #3 ?   Review : The Guilty - Book #3 Detective Jacob Striker Series - Sean Slater - March 2013 Are you a fan of murder novels ? Love the fast-paced action packed ones rather than the slow murder mysteries that divulge too deep into the forensics side of things ? For me, when it comes to my murder mysteries I need them to be gripping otherwise it's like BOORRING. I need to be kept entertained throughout the whole novel. Sean Slater is one of those authors that though his books may be chunky, he has managed to pull of a fast-paced and gripping serial killer tale. All of his book are based around the main detective called Jacob Striker and his police homicide team. In The Guilty, they are sent to a scene of an abandoned building and a bomb site . Interrupted the killer has escaped along with the victim , has the victim been killed or has the kill...

Review: Taking Chances by Molly McAdams

  Looking for a new book to get stuck into ? Did you love Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire and From Ashes by Molly McAdams? Get ready for another New Adult to add to your ever-growing reading list: Review: Taking Chances - Book #1 Taking Chances - Molly McAdams - October 2012 Wow , what is it that makes Molly McAdams books so addictive ? As like From Ashes, that was a book I could not out down , I just had to keep reading it even though certain characters frustrated the heck out of me, Taking Chances was better in the way that only slightly did a few characters annoy me and if not for the OMG twist in the book that I so did not ever in my life see coming, it would have been the one I thought she should have landed with. Taking Chances tells the story of Harper , an 18yr old who is just starting college. All her life she has been home-schooled on a Marines base and now for the first time in her life , she is free to be her.  Once she arrives at her dorm, s...
