Review: Follow Me Back - A. Meredith Walters

Review: Follow Me Back - Book #2 Twisted Love Series - A. Meredith Walters - June 2015 When I get into a bit of a reading rut which I felt in September, something that I love to do is go back through my Kindle and try and click on random reads - most of these have been sitting there for years and years. Sitting patiently, waiting to be clicked and read. Follow Me Back though it is Book #2 of a series, can be read as a stand-alone as it was very easy to understand. Follow Me Back is a great read if you want an angsty dark read but also a twisted love story of two people who shouldn't be together but they are despite the world telling them they are wrong, the heart wants what the heart wants - even if logic defies it. This book reminded me of what stories were like before the world became saturated with self-published and people hopping on trope trains. Back in 2012-2015, New Adult romance was the new genre created. It was filled with Angst, college-aged characters Emotions, and Ed...

Review: Wicked Fallout - Book #2 Pretty Wicked Series - Kelly Charron - July 2018 This book, I have had sitting on my kindle for years, and finally scrolling through I got a chance to read it as I am trying this year to make sure I read mainly my older books as joined in a #TackleYourTBR challenge on Instagram. I remember enjoying the first book, but this one was awesome and was such a great read. It not only made it my first 5-star read for 2023 but also my first 5-star read for a while as didn't get a high number of those last year. In Book #2 set 12 years after Book #1 Ryann has been serving 12 years in prison for the murder of 6 people which she committed when she was 15 years old. She has exhausted all her appeals, but now new evidence has come to light that she wasn't evaluated properly and that her prison sentence could be overturned and she is a free woman. With an exemplary record and no trouble, Ryann has managed to convince a lot of people she has changed her tune. ...

Review: Impulse - Ellen Hopkins

  Review: Impulse - Book #1 Impulse Series - Ellen Hopkins - January 2007 If there is one author that every teenager has to read, it is Ellen Hopkins. As someone who grew up in a sheltered family, reading was my eye-opener to the world and during my teen years I had a knack for loving the edgier topics and Ellen Hopkins was the go-to author. Looking at Goodreads, funny enough I read this book 9 years ago - give or take a few days. Back before I had been dedicated to writing reviews on what I read. So here, is a review I should have written 9 years ago but I have to admit reading this book now - I am a different person than I was 9 years ago. 9 years ago, I worked in the library and a job I loved, I was getting ready to go to America for the first time, I was single and my Mum was still alive. I was also 26 years old. Now 9 years later - I am no longer at the library, I have been to America twice, My Mum has passed away, I am in a committed relationship and have brought a house wi...
