Review: Down London Road

Down London Road by Samantha Young
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

I have pushed this book off for about a year. I started it awhile ago and I didn't like the narrator for the audiobook. Her Scottish accent is off.. or I dunno it just bothered me. But I started it today randomly and it was really good.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first book but I still enjoyed it. I got sucked into the story to the point that I didn't even notice the narrators voice. I had Jo pegged all wrong and I honestly feel bad about that because I hated her in the last book. Like seriously hated her and it turns out she is this totally amazing person, who just went about dating and finding a secure life the wrong way. Who hasn't made those kinds of mistakes?.. Well I've never dated someone because they had money but you get my drift. Plus she actually cared for Malcolm.. she wasn't just using him and she never asked for money so that changed my opinion of her completely.

Cam was totally lovable. He was sweet, charming, and he really took an interest in Jo and Cole! He was so amazing with Cole and that was just adorable. I think it would be hard to take on a 14 year old but Cole does it perfectly. The whole think with Blair kinda pissed me off. It's cool if you are friends with your ex as long as you freaking tell your current GF that you are and especially if they come over in the middle of the night. I hated Jo's inner struggle thinking that it was just her insecurities. I feel like she was completely justified in her jealousy. Damn the guy was once in love with the girl and he freaking texted her while he was at lunch with Jo, after they hadn't seen each other in days and he just saw Blair the night before.. So I kinda hated that part of the book. It made me think less of Cam for not communicating with Jo a little better. He wasn't doing anything wrong and everything else he did was basically perfect so I still love him.

There was a whole freaking shit ton of drama. Jo's life has not been easy. She's had to deal with an abusive father, a drunk mother, and she's been taking care of her brother. So naturally there is a lot of drama. It was almost overwhelming. If it wasn't for the hot sex and Cam being just a babe, I probably couldn't have liked the book as much. OH and Joss and Braden were kinda awesome too. :)

Review: Colin: A Serial Killer Romance

Colin: A Serial Killer Romance by Stella Noir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well... I should have expected this being as the title says "A Serial Killer Romance" but I didn't. I enjoy a darker romance every once in awhile but I like them mixed with really hot dark sex. This book didn't have that. SO I was a little disappointed by that. It was just straight serial killer mixed with a little insta love.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the book. Colin was one of the best written characters I have read in awhile. They did a phenomenal job writing his mind. He had the mind,body, soul of a killer. He thought he was a monster but that he couldn't do any better. His mind was completely broken and it was honestly beautiful. Which I know sounds messed up but it's true and it's hard to explain because I don't usually read these kinds of books. But I believe he was perfect. There wasn't a flaw in his character the whole book. There was always something broken in his mind. Even at the end, when he had the girl, he wasn't instantly healed.

Avery, I absolutely hated. She is what ruined the book for me. I understand that she had to be little bit desperate and she would have to have a few problems to be able to accept a killer for a lover. But she was just unbearable.

I was completely impressed with the writing and the development of Colin's character. I've never read anything by this author and it was given to me by the author through one of my GR friends. But I have to say that I am going to look for some of her other books because I really was impressed with Colins character. I so did not think I would love the serial killer but I did. Not in the I want you to be my husband love, but the your character was so perfectly written that I want to know more about your mind, love.

The book is twisted and also very creepy, but defiantly worth reading!

Review: The Winner's Kiss

The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed listening to this book. I love it when a book completely throws me and this one did that. It went in a direction that I didn't see coming. I mean obviously the ending was what I was expecting but the journey there was something I wasn't expecting.

Through out the series I have gone back and forth on my feelings toward Arin. The last book was hard for me to like him because we knew that Kestrel was actually doing something amazing and completely selfless. She was risking her life and Arin blew up on her and had written her off. But then again what else was he suppose to think? In this book I loved Arin 100%. He was perfection. He never once gave up.. even though he had plenty of reasons to.

I refuse to give any spoilers away and Im not sure how to get around them. So this is going to be short and sweet. I loved this book. I loved Arin and Kestrel. I loved how their relationship progressed and I freaking love that Arin fought for her and vise versa. It was a difficult and emotional journey. There was lots of fighting and lots of loving and understanding. Oh and a tiger named Arin too :)

Review: Until You

Until You by Penelope Douglas
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I wasn't a huge fan of Bully. I hate Jared. I think his excuses for treating Tate like shit are complete garbage. I enjoy a good love/hate relationship as much as the next girl but this just isn't that. When you have a love/hate relationship the hate is mean of course but there is always the undercurrent of teasing. Jared straight ruined Tate's life for no reason but that he was fucked in the head. He WANTED to hurt her. I just can't get over that. I thought maybe by reading the story from his POV that I would think differently but really it made me hate him more. Because even in his mind he wanted her to cry. He wasn't thinking that he wanted to punish her because he secretly loved her, he just wanted to cause her pain. I know that later he realized that he has loved her the whole time but still. While he was actually doing the horrible things he was just thinking that he fucking hated her. I also think that Tate gave in WAY too easily. Um if a guy ruined a couple years out of my life I would NEVER ever give him another chance. Geez and later on when the tape got out and they found out that Jared wasn't the one who sent it, she effing apologized to HIM! ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!? He has tormented her for years. She should not apologize for not trusting him right away. I understand that he realized that he loved her and did a complete 180 but what the hell else should she think?

Im sorry but I can't get into this relationship. It is totally fucked up. He freaking ruined years of her life... I don't get it. Im going to read the next book because so many people recommend this to me and I am hoping that Madoc isn't as big of a jackass and Jared is. I seriously doubt it, but I have hope.

Review: Blood Obsession

Blood Obsession by L.E. Wilson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh Aiden. I love you. Seriously, he was amazing. I still haven't read Blood Hunger, but I do have a copy of it now, so I do plan to read it. But as of right now I don't see Nik being any better than Aiden. He was just yummy. He is British and has a fantastic sense of humor. He is my ideal man. Sure he is possessed by a demon but ehh.. worse things could happen.. right?

So Aiden wakes up in grain.. literally covered in grain silo and he has no recollection of how he got there. He runs into Grace, who is spying one some random guys in suits, and finds out he is in China of all place. I liked Keira from the last book. She had to be a strong character to be able to deal with Luuk. But I LOVE Grace. She was weird and quirky and hellloo she had a pet hedgehog, named Mojo! She gets in all this trouble to save her Mojo. Anybody who puts their life on the line for an animal is perfect in my book. Anyways.. so Aiden decides that he is going to stay and help her get her Mojo back.. even though he has no clue what her Mojo really is... That is when I knew I was in love with Aiden. Well that and then later on in the book he carries Mojo in his sweatshirt hood... Sigh. Thats's just awesome.

So Aiden and Grace have the suits after them, but they later find out that they also have the demon possessed humans after them as well. There's a lot of things that happen here but I hate spoilers and I am trying my hardest not to give too much away. But eventually Grace ends up in Seattle to talk to Aiden's friends and their mates. Aiden follows and finds out that Wanno (which is the demon inside of him) is really in there and that Leeha is able to call him to her... Scary right? That can only lead to trouble.. That girl needs her head readjusted :)

I loved everything about this book. There wasn't one time during it that I was like "I hate that, or I wish that had been different". There aren't a lot of books that I feel that way about. There is just enough action, just enough romance, and just enough humor. Oh and the werewolves are in it to, did I mention that? I feel like I should have. They are funny guys.

Review: Prick

Prick by Sabrina Paige
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Okay.. this book was sooooo corny... but I loved it. I am not a huge fan of the step brother romances. I honestly don't get the appeal. Wait that's a total lie. I get it, but I just think that it is over played and usually the books end up being way to cheesy for me... Like I said this one was corny towards the end but it wasn't too much.

I went into this book thinking I was going to hate it. I honestly didn't think I would finish it. But really they were never related while they were together. Their parents were engaged.. but eh who cares they weren't related so whatever. Ive never had a problem with it being taboo but just in case that is one of your hangups.. it's written to where they aren't actual step siblings while they are together.

What made the book awesome--- Caulter and Kate. Kate was a priss with attitude. I was afraid she was going to be TSTL character but she wasn't! YAY. I actually liked her quite a lot. Especially since Caulter was a douche bag at first.. Kate gave it right back to him though. I absolutely loved the love/hate thing they had going on. I also loved that we got Caulter POV. I am 100% sure that if I didn't get his thoughts, I would have hated the book, because he would have just looked like a total Prick. But because we knew what he was actually thinking, he was easy to fall in love with.

Review: Blood Vengeance

Blood Vengeance by L.E. Wilson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book! If you are looking for a sweet vampire mating, then this is not your book. This book is kind of dark. I will be honest and tell you guys that I didn't read the first book. It wouldn't let me buy it on amazon for some reason? I have no clue but I read this one anyways. Even though it's not the first book.. I really didn't get lost. I am sad that I don't know all of Nikulas and Emma's story but I know how it ended so that will just have to be good enough for me.

In this book we have Luukas (side note: I love how his name is spelled) who has been in captivity for 7 years. He has been stripped of his master vampire powers and has been repeatedly tortured and denied of blood. We find out that Keira is the witch who has made all of this possible. She took his powers and helped the evil vampire Leeha. But Keira didn't want to do any of those things. She was blackmailed into doing them and in the end she tries to help Luukas as much as she can. But when rescue comes Luukas is half crazed and tries to kill her.. but he can't because she is his.

Through out the book Luukas is struggling with a darkness in his mind. He goes back and forth on wether he should kill Keira or not and he does not believe in the fated mate fairytale. He tries everything he can think of to prove that it isn't true. This is the only real issue I have with the book. I know he was struggling with insanity but I hated that he constantly thought about killing her and how once his mind was better he would be done with her.... it just formed a negative opinion for him in my mind. There was one point in the book.. well I really can't tell you with out giving things away but he almost let her die when he could have saved her from all her suffering. I tried really hard to look at things from his perspective but it was hard for me because he didn't start to treat her well until the last chapter of the book.

I am really excited to get into Blood Obsession and see what is going on with Aiden!
