Review: How to Kill Yourself - C.V Hunt

    Review: How to Kill Yourself - C.V Hunt - October 2012 Have you ever A) brought a book because the cover was awesome and B) continued reading a book till the very last page because it was the weirdest thing you have ever come across ? For me , I fell in too both categories as I have a thing for covers and the pink hair attracted me. Second of all, I have read a lot of books - more than most people and I have to say that How to Kill Yourself by C.V Hunt was the MOST WEIRDEST Book I have ever read and at the end of it I was still like Huh ??? ok what the hell just happened. Even at the end of this novel, I still really didn't have an actual clue of what had happened. The novel starts off with this chick having bad drugs and her hand going black and dying , so bad she has to have it amputated but she doesn't want to , she just wants more drugs . Then it flicks to her waking up in a hospital and her hand is gone and she meets a Vampire in a ghost like town ....

Review: The Stranger Within - Melanie Marks

Image
  One of my favourite things about Amazon is the fact that I get to discover a whole new range of authors and alot of Indie authors. One of them whom I enjoy is Melanie Marks.   Review: The Stranger Inside - Melanie Marks - May 2012 As usual with trying new authors and buying books from Amazon, you never really know what you are going to expect and whether or not you will enjoy it. That to me was my experience with The Stranger Inside. However, once I started reading it I knew I was in for a ride as the main character Jodi suddenly became Kenzie and I was like hmmm - do we have a case of split personality, is that was this book is about ? We then learn that Jodi's dad has died and she has gone to live with her mum and stepfather. We also discover that something went down three years ago with Jodi and her Stepbrother which weirdly enough , this is the second book in the last week or so that has featured this storyline. The story then starts to take two ...

  Today's VBT# stop is Addison Moore's new book out "The Solitude of Passion".   Review: The Solitude of Passion - Addison Moore - August 2013 Once upon a time as most of these books go there was one girl and two boys , the two boys were the best of friends and they both equally loved the girl more than anything in the world. The downside though of course, unless you believe in sister wives is the simple fact that the girl now a woman had to choose whom she would marry. One of the boys now Men would get her hand in marriage, the other would have to stand on the sidelines and settle for whatever came his way. In The Solitude of Passion - that girl was called Lee and the two boys were called Mitch and Max. Fast forward to adult age and the one who won Lee's hand in marriage was Mitch. Pregnant with Mitch's baby, Lee wishes Mitch would stay home but when business calls - Mitch takes off to China. Lee waits but tragedy strikes and Mitch doesn'...
