Started reading Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead

 Hello Bookies,

Well I finally started my next book. I've literally only read four pages of this book. So far I have a main character, which I'm assuming is a succubus, and she is full of attitude. I think I like this character already. Also we start the book with her dreading an assignment she was given. I guess to help a thirty something year old man in helping them finally getting some spicy action. So far that is all I know. I never read what the book is about and I tell myself that I should. Yet, I still don't do it. One day I will learn my lesson. I guess the only way we are going to learn about the book is to read about it. Oh, I almost forgot. The cover of the book I have is completely different than the one on goodreads. If there is a way to change the version you are reading, I still haven't figured it out since they updated the website. Eventually I will figure it out if you can. 

So until next time....

Almost done reading The Problem with Forever

 

Hey Bookies, 

I'm almost done with the book and I have to say I got to a point that put this book to four stars. Also I have to say is how dare you Jennifer L. Armentrout. You made me get attached to a character only to do that to them. Even though I kind of had a feeling it was going to happen, but still how dare you. Anyway there is a part in this book I was hoping would play a little bit more into the story. I kind of expected the character Paige to do anything possible to break up Rider and Mallory. There was a perfect opportunity and it wasn't taken. It would have added so much more drama to the story. Of course I guess the author thought we went through enough trauma in that section of chapters. But the book is getting four stars. I teared up a lot towards the end. But we have our first four star and it proves that Jennifer L. Armentrout is still one of my favorite writers. I do recommend this book. I do have to remind that there are trigger warnings with this book, so feel free to check up on those before reading this book. It was just so nice to watch the characters grow and move past their childhood trauma in their own ways. Helping each other along the way. It's a good concept and it's told in a nice way where it doesn't really focus on the trauma, but you know that it's there. Especially when Mallory has episodes of flashbacks or when something happens and it puts her head back in that place. Loved the book. Highly recommend.

So until next time...

About halfway through The Problem with Forever

 

Hello there Bookies,

Well, I'm quiet enjoying this book. The deeper story is that we have these two young adults that are trying to live life after being removed from a terrible situation that they were in for thirteen years. That was pretty much their entire lives. The story is told through the girl's point of view. Her name is Mallory and she had to go through intensive therapy to get past her situation. She even ended up getting adopted by a loving family that were also doctors that had taken care of her when she ended up in the hospital with some major injuries. I will not say what the situation they were in but it is a trigger warning with this book. This book does talk about child abuse and SA. Like I said these kids didn't grow up in the best environment and this book basically talks about how they coped with it after no longer being in that situation. With Mallory being adopted by doctors, she was provided with the best. She got the help she needed and was very loved by her adoptive parents. Now the other person focused in this story wasn't as lucky. Mallory was mostly protect by a boy that was her age in the situation and his name is Rider. Rider ended up at a group home until he found a foster family to take care of him until he turns eighteen. He works hard but he is also living on the rough side of town. Rider grew up thinking that he wasn't worth anything and that nothing was expected of him other than the bare minimum. Like I said, I really like the concept. The book so far is a solid three stars. I will have to read if it will gain that one star to be the first four star in this journey. But we will just have to find out.

So until next time....

Started reading The Problem with Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout

 

Hello Bookies,

Well we have another Jennifer L. Armentrout book to read. I have tried to read this book before as an Ebook, but I kept forgetting that I had it. So I'm trying the physical copy way. This book is a YA and I feel like I've been reading a lot of YA lately. As we all know I haven't found any YA that has really gripped me since I came back from my reading hiatus. Maybe this one will be it. Who knows? But I haven't started the book yet, but I will be sure to update when I'm about halfway. Unless something interesting happens or it's taking too long to read, I'll update you then.

So until next time....

Finished reading A Beautiful Dark

 

Hello Bookies,

Well I finished another book. It was an interesting concept but one I've kind of have seen before. It went exactly how I predicted with a bit of a twist in the end. Also how it ends leaves you on a cliffhanger and that isn't fair. Looks like I will be getting the second book just to see what happens with our main character. The author planned it this way. How rude. Anyway, our main character is a special girl but I feel like if I explain the story in more detail, it is just going to be one big spoiler. So if you want to learn anything, you are going to have to read the book yourself. I will have to say that this book is about two stars for me. Like I said it was really predictable the moment I started reading it. It does give similar vibes as the series called Fallen. So if you liked that series, you will like this one. They don't really have the same storyline but they have kind of have a similar concept. You got good versus evil and a girl stuck right in the middle of it. There is a twist at the end that I didn't see and it's like right at the end. You basically learn the twist and then get left with a cliffhanger. But the story still got two stars for me. It didn't really grip me until the very end. For the longest time I thought that they had the great reveal and the story should have ended there. The book was really dry and boring until you get to the last few pages. My thoughts the whole time is that what more can you do after the great reveal and then the ending gave me my answer. I do recommend this book to those that like the Fallen series or the Hush Hush series. I do believe that this book is a YA with a bit of supernatural in it. Feel free to check it out.

So until next time....

Halfway through A Beautiful Dark

 Hey there Bookies,

I'm halfway through the book and I'm still getting Fallen series vibes. The book isn't exactly like that series, but I still get vibes from it. Anyways, I have learned that this book is a YA I think. Our main character is 17 and things get weird after her 17th birthday. Two mysterious guys show up that are complete opposites and pretty much turn her world upside down. She has no idea what is going on but she knows that these two guys know more than they are telling. After too many weird things that happen that are completely unexplainable, she confronts one of the guys asking for answers. Now she has to figure out if she wants to believe in the truth and find out more or try to pretend that everything in normal. But how can you continue to be normal when you are told some life changing things? I still have half a book to go through and I have no idea what else you can do after the big reveal in the middle of the book. But I guess we will just have to find out.

So until next time...

Started reading A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies

 

Hello Bookies,

I'm on a new book already. I have tried to read this book before my hiatus but couldn't because I was just so overwhelmed with all that was going on at the time. Anyway I don't know anything about this book. I only read two chapters already and I'm already getting like Fallen series vibes. So it's making me think this is going to be about a girl being special and two fallen angels are going to be fighting over her. That is my prediction. I guess the only way we can find out is by reading the book. Wish me luck.

So until next time....
