  Review: Discovering Delilah - Book #2 Harborside Nights Series - Melissa Foster - July 2015 I had enjoyed Melissa Foster's Remington series, so when I read that Discovering Delilah was up for review -I was excited to read it. However, what I didn't expect was that I loved the book so much and now I can't wait to read Catching Cassidy. The other reason I didn't expect to enjoy it so much is that I am normally one to read and rave about GLBT books. I like them, but they don't normally rate as OMG stories, but Discovering Delilah definitely rates as a WOW story. The book starts off with Delilah and her brother Wyatt living in Harborside as they have moved there after their parents were killed in a car accident after Delilah's graduation. Delilah has been struggling and attending a grief support group where she meets Janessa. Janessa and Delilah become fast friends as Janessa understands Delilah and plays a huge part in the story with Delilah growing ...

    Review: Touch - Claire North - February 2015 When I first saw this book and read the blurb I expected a murder mystery as the cover looked creepy especially those eyes and it talked about killers on the back cover. As I started reading it though, I was in for a bumpy ride as this was one of those stories that you will find a weird read, but at the same time you will find it intriguing and addictive and you will not want to put it down as you want to keep reading and find out what happens next. The main character as we learn in Touch is known as Kepler - I am going to go with her as when I was reading the novel, I kept for some reason associating her with more of a female gender. Kepler though started out hundreds of years ago as a young boy who was beaten up and left for dead, until he grabbed the killer's ankle and next thing he knows he is in the body of his killer. So began the journey of what is known as Touch or Body-hopping and Kepler is one of many ...

    Review: The Heir - Book #4 The Selection Series - Kiera Cass - May 2015 The Heir by Kiera Cass , is set twenty years after the third book in the Selection Series which starred America Singer and Prince Maxon.  America and Maxon got married, then as one of their first duties as King and Queen - they demolished the different castes so that everyone could be treated as equal. At first this worked, but then as the years went by chaos erupted once again and it seemed that people still held the castes with prejudice and a form of punishment and torture. Now it's Princess Eadlyn's turn - their only daughter out of four children. I have to admit though that I loved America's strong-willed personality in the first three Selection books but Eadlyn - I didn't like her character at all - I found her to be a spoilt brat and quite rude and mean-spirited as didn't she see that her parents were under pressure. A New Selection has become and Princess Eadlyn will...

    Review: The Good Girls - Book #2 The Perfectionists Series - Sara Shepard - June 2015 After finishing all of the Pretty Little Liars books and The Lying Game series, I decided to move on to Sara Shepard's latest series "The Perfectionists" . I was hoping that it would have a few more books but with the way that The Good Girls finished - I can tell you that this is a 2-book series as the author couldn't really develop the series any further. At the end of book #1 our five girls Ava, Caitlin, Mackenzie, Parker and Julie have been arrested with suspicion of killing not only Nolan Hotchkiss but also their film studies teacher Mr Granger. The thing though is that the girls are innocent of both crimes, who is trying to set them up ? As the book goes along, we start to discover more people dying and disappearing and in exactly the same manner as the five of them discussed in their film studies class that one afternoon of who they would like to see die an...

    Review: Sugar Baby Beautiful - JJ McAvoy - August 2015 One of my most favourite authors that I find edgy and love reading is JJ McAvoy, so when I was given the chance to read the newest book by this author , I jumped at the chance and I loved it to bits. This was definitely one of those books that will send you spiralling down the rabbit hole and into a world filled with twists and turns that you never expected coming . The book starts off with three friends Cleo, Mark and our main female character Felicity. Cleo and Mark met Felicity in juvie when they were younger and now they are about to introduce her to the world of Sugar Daddies and Mamas. Felicity ends up attending a Sugar party and meets Theodore Darcy whom is taken aback by Felicity when he discovers her playing music.
