Review: Butcher & Blackbird

Butcher & Blackbird Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Will this book is not for the faint of heart, this was a riveting read from beginning to end. If you cannot stomach, some gruesome anime done by the serial killers, then I suggest you to opt out of this book. However, this book had me rooting for both characters from beginning to end the side characters also play a major part without being overwhelming to the story, I found myself, not wanting the story to end well it is a slow burn. I found that the time gaps did not leave us missing information which also helped with the pacing of the book which I quite enjoyed. This book had me laughing out loud at a few points. The spice in itself was dark and sexy, I seen quality true dark spice written so well in such a long time. Thank you Brynne Weaver for such an amazing book. I cannot wait for Leather and Lark.

Review: Next of Kin

Next of Kin Next of Kin by Hannah Bonam-Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chloe had to grow up quickly. This is typical when your parents aren’t able to parent anymore. She knows what it’s like to go through the foster system with a parent who isn’t able to keep clean. When she unexpectedly finds herself in the position to adopt her baby sister, she doesn’t hesitate. She doesn’t want the same rough childhood for her baby sister. Warren built a tough shell around himself due to his rough childhood and foster care experience. He doesn’t need or want anyone close to him. All he needs is his brother. When CPS pairs Chloe and Warren together to meet the requirements of having custody of their respective siblings, they butt heads immediately. Will Chloe be able to break down Warren’s shell? Will Warren let her?

Hannah Bonam-Young is so good at making beautiful love stories where you believe the couple will be together forever. This story didn’t rely on angst to make it compelling. There were no dramatic fights. Just two people working through their issues and sticking together. Every time I read one of Hannah’s books, I am left with the thought “I believe in love again”. I recommend this book to seasoned romance fans as well as those looking to try out the genre. You won’t be disappointed!

Review: Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies

Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies by Catherine Mack
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At first I thought I was going to really love this book as the FMC was quick to make me laugh and I seemed to hate the MMC as much as she does.

However as the book went on it quickly became confusing and I found it very difficult to follow the book due to the use of footnotes in the story and trying to change pages to figure out what was being talked about. In my opinion the foot notes in the story didn’t need to be there and could have just put in the story in parenthesis or as an additional sentence.

This coupled with a lot of characters being thrown in at once with little to no background provided about them in the main text, but instead putting it in the footnotes didn’t allow the book to read in a way that made the story run smoothly.

Review: Broken Bonds

Broken Bonds Broken Bonds by J. Bree
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fabulous story that I devoured. And I am already on book 4 now. Its so hit and miss when it comes to indie title but this one was a total win!! I loved the feel of the story and the magic that this world has. It was easy to follow and a very quick read. Totally recommend this one!!

Note: This one is closer to high ya to low NA but as a warning since I have already read book two and three and almost all of book four. I wanted to make sure you knew as a reader that the rest of books get very spicy and on the line of being vulgar with some of the sex that goes on. Book 4 is the worse at crossing that line for me.

This dark academia story is one of the best that I have read in a while. I loved the concept and just need more. Where is my movie?! I can not wait for Sept. for the next one to release!!! I say that although this was sold as an adult title it could be read as a ya title. Just be warned it gets a little gory. MUST READ
