Review: Volition - Lily Paradis - January 2015

After a string of books that didn’t quite capture my interest this morning, I found myself scrolling through my Kindle, searching for the next potential gem. That’s when the cover of Volition by Lily Paradis caught my eye, featuring the iconic Empire State Building. Something about it stood out, and without knowing anything about the book or the author, I decided to dive in blind. What followed was an emotional journey filled with heartbreak, unrequited love, and the difficult choices that life and fate sometimes demand.

Volition tells the story of Tate McKenna and Jesse Elliott, two souls seemingly destined to be together but constantly kept apart by circumstances and timing. Their relationship begins in childhood, but tragedy strikes, and the two are separated. Years later, they reconnect as teenagers, but their timing is once again off—Tate is in a relationship with Casper, and Jesse begins dating Jasmine. Despite their feelings for each other, life pulls them in different directions, and they drift in and out of each other’s lives, always close but never truly together.

Now in her twenties, Tate is trying to escape the tangled web of emotions surrounding Jesse and Jasmine. She flees to New York, hoping for a fresh start, and on her flight, she meets Hayden Rockefeller—yes, one of those Rockefellers. Hayden is charming, persistent, and immediately interested in Tate. But while Hayden offers her the promise of a stable, loving relationship, Tate’s heart remains tethered to Jesse.

As the story unfolds, Tate must grapple with the push and pull of her emotions. Can Hayden prove to her that he is the one who will truly love her and meet her needs? Or will Jesse reappear in her life and rekindle the unresolved feelings between them?

What makes Volition stand out is its raw, emotional depth. It’s not just a love story; it’s a tale of navigating life’s messy, often painful realities. The book delves into the complexity of love triangles but doesn’t fall into the usual clichés. Instead, it explores the idea of fate and destiny taking unexpected turns and the sacrifices people make to find happiness, even when it comes at a cost.

If you’re a fan of edgy New Adult romances with heartfelt, relatable characters, Volition by Lily Paradis is a must-read. This indie gem pulls you in with its emotional intensity and leaves you reflecting on the nature of love, loss, and resilience.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
