Ephemeral - Addison Moore

Ephemeral by Addison Moore

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


Stopped at 39%.  I did not like Laken, the plot and storyline was overly complicated and confusing.  The girls were obnoxious, I couldn't relate to any of the characters.  This book glorified cheating boys and the need to win back their love.  Just wow... I don't even know.  I tried so hard to finish this book.

Ruin - Rachel Van Dyken

Ruin by Rachel Van Dyken

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


I bought this book because it was recommended by Amazon as a book I might like, the 5 star reviews sold me on it... I have only ever given maybe 1-2 (if that) 1 star review, and I hate giving poor reviews.

Okay, honestly, Kiersten is socially awkward to the point it is painful.  Her roommate makes it slightly more bearable.  Then you add in the roommates strangely over protective cousin.  This is Kiersten's posse.  Kiersten meets Wes, cliche popular and rich college football quarterback.  Their conversations were so awkward it made me uncomfortable to even read them.  I didn't understand any of their relationship or why the attraction was so strong.  Kiersten was weird and Wes was like a stalker (even referred to himself as one)...

I got almost halfway through this book, I forced myself to keep reading, but once I hit that spot around halfway I just couldn't do it.  I didn't believe the relationships, the dialogue and script was extremely basic, there was no depth to anyone or the story.  Just weird in my opinion and not for me.

Smash Into You - Shelly Crane

I just want to say Shelly Crane is amazing, read all of her books... They will suck you in!

Smash Into You by Shelly Crane

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Here's why I love Shelly Crane... within the first page of a book I know if I want to read it or not, her books come off strong and addictive, they captivate you from the start and keep your attention through to the end.  This book was a fantastic and fast read.  Jude is a young guy on the run from "Biloxi" for reasons unknown.  He meets Marley a girl with her own problems, they were meant to cross paths and their story is unique and real, it's raw.  I loved these two characters together, the plot was great, the depth was real. 

I read it in a day and can't wait to see what Shelly puts out next.  A great read!

Forever Too Far - Abbi Glines

Forever Too Far by Abbi Glines

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


So I loved the first two books, couldn't put them down.  I was so disappointed in this one!  It took me weeks to get through... Abbi Glines is an amazing author no doubt.  I feel like this book lacked any depth and was just written to get readers interested in the Woods/Della and Grant/Harlow series coming out.  There was a lot of action going on with these other couples to kind of grab your attention and I really want to read the Woods series now but that's all I got out of this book.  I'm so happy Rush and Blaire got their happily ever after but didn't really see a need for this one.

Never Too Far - Abbi Glines

Never Too Far by Abbi Glines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I literally couldn't put the book down.  I read it over the course of a few hours, completely abandoning my children for the day.  I'm really addicted to these characters so I'm sad it ends after Forever Too Far.

Okay, so this book has both Blaire and Rush POVs.  It starts with Blaire back in Alabama and she ends up deciding to go back to Florida.  She doesn't want to but she has to do what is best for her and we all know Woods and the boys pay well at the country club so she can save up money fast!  She's determined to stay away from Rush but he is determined to rush in (pun intended) and make her love him.

Rush is like perfect amazing swoon boyfriend in this book... He messes up a few times but he's quick to beg for forgiveness.  He gets torn between his family and Blaire... but YOU WILL FALL FOR HIM if you haven't already.  He's just perfect in this book.  Abbi Glines can do one thing really well and that's make you swoon over a bad boy.

Fallen Too Far - Abbi Glines

Why did I wait so long to read this?

Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


So I wanted something different than the common paranormal, more mature than a YA, and a bit more young adult than 50 Shades (I read all of these types of books)... This fit the bill.  Blaire is 19 and Rush is 24... I honestly didn't care for Rush in the beginning but started falling for him when Blaire did.

There's sexual content, it's graphic!  I hadn't been expecting that.  The story was really good though and Abbi Glines knows romance!  Blaire is your typical hurt and sad "poor girl" working her way through life with the hands she's dealt.  Rush is your typical pretty, privileged, work for nothing, "rich boy" that's used to getting whatever he wants.

This book was super addictive, I read it in a day and eagerly bought number 2 and am almost finished with that one!  Yes the storyline is the typical rich boy falling for the poor girl.  These types of books sell though and if there's nothing wrong, don't change it.  The plot thickens and there is a storyline that's more complicated added to the basic concept.

Not the most in depth but I give it 5 stars because of the addiction factor... good easy quick read for someone who wants to take their mind of things for a few hours!

Incendiary - Amy Bartol

Incendiary by Amy A. Bartol

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I'm a big fan of the series, I devoured the first three books. It took me awhile to get into this one. I'm with the minority here but I think there was good and bad in this book. I'll start with the good, there were new characters added including someone for Russell which I had been hoping for. We get to know Evie's dad and his entourage. Brennus makes a good villain and the love story between Evie and Reed is good as we all love Reed by this point!

What I didn't like... This seemed to be a repeat of past books. Nothing new happens it's Brennus trying to get to Evie as always. Zee, Buns, and Brownie were barely in this book and those are characters I've come to love. There were times when I thought Reed could easily kill Brennus but instead it would turn to dialogue between the two and nothing was accomplished. Another man is thrown into the love quadrangle or whatever you want to call it... Xavier. Evie has enough love interests between Reed, Russell, and Brennus. She doesn't need another man to complicate the story. We are all Reed fans!

I just felt this book was a "filler" novel. It didn't bring anything new or substantial. I will read the final book because I am a fan of the series and I'm hoping for an excellent ending.
