Unknown series - Wendy Higgins

Published Date: August 8, 2016

Genre: Paranormal/New Adult

Synopsis: Amber Tate believes the worst thing she’ll suffer in life is dealing with the unrequited love she feels for her brother’s best friend, Rylen Fite. She also believes war is something unfortunate that happens places far, far away from her rural Nevada town. She’s wrong on both counts.

When an unknown organization meticulously bombs major cities in the United States and across the globe, a trickle-down effect spreads to remaining towns at an alarming speed—everything from food and water sources to technology and communications are compromised. Without leadership, the nation is split between paralysis and panic, but Amber isn’t one to hide or watch helplessly. She’s determined to put her nursing skills to use, despite the danger, even if it means working alongside the man she can never have.

In this first installment of NY Times bestselling author, Wendy Higgins’s debut New Adult series, a frighteningly realistic apocalyptic America is brought to life, entwined with searing romantic tension that will leave you eager for more. 

Published Date: February 9, 2017

Genre: Paranormal/New Adult

Synopsis: Being on the run in the desert means food and sanctuary are hard to come by, but Amber Tate and her crew are not about to give up. Not after having so many of the things they love brutally ripped from them by an unknown enemy who sent their world into the apocalypse.

Survival takes precedence, but once safe shelter is found, their guards fall and the emotions they’ve been holding in are finally released. Anger, insecurities...lust. In their tight quarters, Amber, Rylen, Tater, and Remy can't escape it. The past must be faced, and passions run even stronger in the darkest of times.

In the midst of unrest, their worlds are rocked again when they discover the truth about the war that’s ruined their lives. They thought finding out the enemy's identity would give them the edge; instead it’s revealed terrifying dangers they never thought possible.

Published Date: December 5, 2017

Genre: Paranormal/New Adult

Synopsis: USA Today and New York Times bestselling author, Wendy Higgins, brings you the gripping, sensual conclusion to her apocalyptic trilogy.

Amber Tate never dreamed their heart-wrenching escape from the enemy’s attack would lead them to the most beautiful place she’s ever seen, marred by one ugly fact; it’s under enemy control. Like everywhere else in the world, Elmendorf military base in Alaska has been captured, and it’s time to take it back—all of it—one base, one city at a time. After losing so much, Amber clings to the only precious person she has left and vows to sacrifice everything to help save the Earth.

Remy Haines is a lover, not a fighter, so when she finds herself in enemy territory, expected to feign allegiance while gathering intel for the rebel cause, she’s never been more out of her element. Tensions only increase when her feelings for Jacob “Tater” Tate won’t go away, and the enemy’s leader takes an interest in her. She’s torn between what her heart wants, and what she knows she should do. As for what her body needs…well, it’s always had a mind of its own.

Anything Wendy Higgins makes me fall in love with books again. Which is why when I got offered the opportunity to read her newest series, Unknown, I took it. 

I am so glad I took the chance because Amber Tate (Pepper) and Rylen Fite are my new favorite book couple... Granted my favorite book couples is probably a hundred by now. I feel as though I grew up right next to Amber, Remy, Rylen, and Tater. They have wormed their way into my hearts just as the aliens did. 

Conspiracy theories should not be theories. I believe in them and so that means they shouldn't be considered theories. I loved the series because they brought to life the Paranormal world I wished existed. Minus the creepy characters and the aliens. But I kind of fell in love with one of the aliens as what they did was just pure sexy. 

That should feel so wrong but it doesn't. 

Thank the heavens for Wendy Higgins for bringing to life some of the sexiest books yet making it seem so wrong to think that. I love her books and if you are a paranormal fan as I am with a few hints of romance, this is the series for you to try.

Trust me on this and you won't regret it.

Lighter - Gia Riley (Begin Again #1)

Published Date: February 16, 2015

Genre: New Adult

Synopsis: What do you do when you can't save the one you love? 

Sophie can’t survive without control. Growing up with an alcoholic father, she craves the discipline of gymnastics. Feeling lost on a brand new college campus, she lets loose for the first time in her life. But with freedom comes consequences. Is one night everything she hopes? Or will she become her own worst nightmare?

Kipton's one year away from graduation. He's never thought beyond a one night stand until meeting his sister’s new roommate. Finally setting his sights on the girl he can't resist, he's more determined than ever when she won't give in to his persuasions. He's always gotten the girl, and he's not about to give up without a fight. 

Will Sophie be able to salvage her dreams and wage a war against her own vices? Can she finally let love in? Or will history repeat itself causing her to self-destruct?

Lighter isn't your typical college romance. Darkness suffocates, dreams are dashed, and battles are lost. Love takes on a whole new meaning.

HOLY CRAP, HOLY CRAP, HOLY CRAP, HOLY CRAP. 

I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. 

Sophie with the broken home finally escapes that to college. New life, new home, new friends, new stories to unfold. Gia Riley brings the tears to my eyes when we look into Sophie's life. She has had no control over her body but when she finally does, she runs into Kipton.

Heart throb Kipton is full on book boyfriend style.

Although I felt bad for Sophie and her awful life, I think that I just got tired of it all after a few moments. Everything else was fantastic except this portion which brought my mood down like 10x than it should have. 

3.7 out of 5 stars.

ARC: Ruin - Clarissa Wild

Published Date: September 20, 2016

Genre: Romance/New Adult

Synopsis: Maybell Fairweather was the girl of my dreams.

Always smiling brightly, she kept going, despite the names her classmates called her behind her back.
She was full of curiosity and independence, the extent of which I could only be jealous of. Even though she had all odds stacked against her, she knew what she wanted from life and pursued it, no matter the cost.

She was completely my opposite in every way.
Perfect, even though she couldn’t see it.
Perfect … until me.

Because this is the story of how I ruined her.

He will be my RUIN.
She will be my RUIN.

Clarissa Wild continuously astounds me with her writing skills and Ruin didn't disappoint like I thought it would. There were parts in the story that really blew my mind and before I got to the end-word of Wild's life, I kind of figured out that this book was based off a true story. (If you follow Clarissa on Facebook/Instagram/Etc).

Whenever authors give you a more outstanding look into their lives and how they felt and what exactly inspired it really got me in the guts.

I was expecting some supernatural thing from her because of the cover but don't underestimate the power of Ruin.

I know I probably say this a lot but it was heart-breaking as much heart-mending.

5 out of 5 stars.

Fighting Silence - Aly Martinez (On The Ropes #1)

Published Date:February 23, 2015

Genre: New Adult/Romance

Synopsis: Sound is an abstract concept for most people. We spend our lives blocking out the static in order to focus on what we believe is important. But what if, when the clarity fades into silence, it's the obscure background noise that you would give anything to hold on to?

I've always been a fighter. With parents who barely managed to stay out of jail and two little brothers who narrowly avoided foster care, I became skilled at dodging the punches life threw at me. Growing up, I didn’t have anything I could call my own, but from the moment I met Eliza Reynolds, she was always mine. I became utterly addicted to her and the escape from reality we provided each other. Throughout the years, she had boyfriends and I had girlfriends, but there wasn't a single night that I didn’t hear her voice.

You see, meeting the love of my life at age thirteen was never part of my plan. However, neither was gradually going deaf at the age of twenty-one.

They both happened anyway.

Now, I'm on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.
Fighting for my career.
Fighting the impending silence.
Fighting for her.

Every night, just before falling asleep, she sighs as a final conscious breath leaves her.

I think that's the sound I'll miss the most.

Each book in this series can be read as a standalone.

This is one book that I can vouch for without having any incentive behind. Aly Martinez brings a whole new perspective into books with the characters -- So damaged and yet so perfect. I took a chance on the boxset because of the many great reviews. 

Till Page and Eliza Reynolds are definitely a book couple that I can love. 

Like I said, Martinez gives us a brilliant perspective into new things. One that I definitely did not expect. 

Just take a chance and read this book.

Till is finding for himself and his family. A beautiful soul inside and out -- Especially when he is looking to get Eliza back. What Till wants, he gets.

5 out of 5 stars.

The Wrath of Cain - Kathy Coopmans (Syndicate #1)

Published Date: October 27, 2016

Genre: New Adult

Synopsis: *Mature Audience Only due to graphic sex and violence, a sexy Alpha Male and language.* 

Watch the Wrath unfold! Clubs. Mafia. Drugs. Murder. And the man they all know as Scarface, will leave you guessing in book one of this brand new series... 

Eloped at the age of eighteen. Separated at the age of eighteen. Disappeared at the age of eighteen. This is what happened to Calla Greer. Her perfect life was shattered on her wedding day when she caught her husband Cain with another woman just hours after they said I do. With her heart broken, she moves across the border to Windsor, Canada to get away from the nightmare she stumbled upon. Hell bent on going to college and fulfilling her dream of becoming a lawyer. 

After six long years of still being married, Calla returns to Detroit to have Cain sign divorce papers. 

Only Cain has changed. 

He’s bitter, angry and for a good reason. 

At least that’s what he’s been telling himself for the past six years. 

Cain Bexley had fifteen minutes to destroy his marriage to protect the woman he loved. 

He did the only thing he could think of to make her leave. He jumped in bed with a woman. Life at home was a lie. Lives were at risk. People are not who they seem. 

Not even Cain’s dad or Calla’s parents are who they say they are. When Calla shows up begging for a divorce. He shows her exactly who he is and no way in hell will he sign those papers. 

What happens when six years later she returns? The only woman he has loved. A woman who has changed herself! When all the lies surface will she be able to forgive everyone she has trusted in her life or will Calla turn to the man who destroyed her?

Fair right? I think so and I am going to tell you why.

This book started off great. Really great for a matter of fact. Then it got to chapter 2. Dang it. Dang it all.

The Wrath of Cain is a hot and steamy book but I am sorry, how he lost his temper with the main girl drove me about insane because she did nothing wrong and he claims that he did everything for her. Even breaking her heart. So what the heck? You break a girl's heart for her? Why can't she just be young and in love.

No... She has to face the wrath of Cain in the matters of fighting for love.

But then, it got good again near the end. No, not because it was nearly over but because I really liked the whole concept of facing your demons. Your evil. Even if it will drive you to the brink of insanity. So, all I am going to say is that you should read this if you are able to keep up with the ups and downs of the storyline. Through thick and thin.

My rating is a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

ARC: The Other Place - Elizabeth Roderick (The Other Place #2)

The Other Place
Elizabeth Roderick
(Other Place #2)
Publication date: July 5th 2016
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult

Living in Justin Flaherty’s mind has never been easy. Unfortunately, things are about to get much worse…
At eighteen years old, most guys are chasing girls or dreams. Justin, on the other hand, wants to draw and be left alone. He’s been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but it’s more than that. He’s in tune with the Dark Energy that surrounds us all, and can see how it controls people’s actions. Sometimes, the Dark Energy will give him visions, to help him on the road to enlightenment.
When his mother hooks up with a Baptist preacher named David who believes Justin’s schizophrenia can be cured with prayer, Justin knows he has to get out—or risk involuntary commitment in a religious facility.
After a brush with incarceration, Justin takes off to San Francisco, where his drawings are not just noticed, but admired…
Justin’s bizarre and beautiful drawings create a stir in the art world. Meanwhile, he’s homeless, couch surfing, and trapped in a continuous battle with his mental illness. His salvation is a girl named Liria Czetski with a shady past. They’d met a year ago, and she’s appeared in his visions ever since. It turns out Liria has been sharing those visions, something that is a surprise to everyone but Justin…
When secrets surface, Justin is forced to realize that being a genius has a downside. Surrounded by people who want to exploit his talent, he must fight not only for his career and freedom, but perhaps for his life…

Goodreads / Amazon

Review: To be honest, I don't know how I truly felt about this book... Because I didn't read the first book, I couldn't connect with the characters and the plot line had gone awry when the Dark Energy takes him places that is existential to everyone else. 

He travels in between dimensions and though his mind cannot comprehend most things, his words pour out into drawings that are vibrant and beautiful. 

So without too many spoilers, this book is good yet confusing if you don't get the full background of the story from the beginning. So it will be a 3 out of 5 stars.

Author Bio:
ELIZABETH RODERICK grew up as a barefoot ruffian on a fruit orchard near Yakima, in the eastern part of Washington State. After weathering the grunge revolution and devolution in Olympia, Washington, Portland, Oregon and Seattle, she recently moved to a small cluster of houses amidst the vineyards of California’s Central Coast.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in Spanish from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, and worked for many years as a paralegal and translator. She is a musician and songwriter, and has played in many bands, rocking some instruments she doesn’t even know the real names for, but mostly guitar, bass and keyboards.
Elizabeth writes novels for young adults and adults; short stories; and memoir which is way more interesting than it should be. Her stories are about love, death, gang warfare, and madness; her characters tend to be of the type that society generally shuns: addicts, convicts, and the mentally ill. She believes if people get to know these characters in stories and in real life, they’ll find them more likeable than they originally thought.
She applies Hunter S. Thompson’s Gonzo method to fiction writing. It often gets a little heavier than what she had in mind, but she chalks it up to forced consciousness expansion.

The Problem with Forever - Jennifer L. Armentrout

Published Date: May 17, 2016

Genre: Young Adult/Contemporary

Synopsis: For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory “Mouse” Dodge, it’s a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.

Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day.

It doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she’s not the only one grappling with the lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s life spiral out of control, Mallory faces a choice between staying silent and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.

I try to hook people onto their book style/personality but I think that this is a book that everyone needs to read. Mainly because it brushes on such a sensitive topic that is not very well known to other people. It is sensitive and may trigger some alarms into the system. I teared throughout this book because it really did make me learn something about myself and others. I couldn't help my heart as it got torn into pieces throughout this book. 

Silence is often noted off as weird but to those who use it, it can be used as a shield and/or weapon. Mallory Dodge really makes your heart pound with the anxiety that she feels. Nightmares don't just end and they will continue to plague you. It is something that you will need to battle. She used her silence as her shield because she didn't want anyone or anything breaking that barrier. 

Tearful, heart-moving/melting/breaking, Jennifer L. Armentrout brings the story of a silent girl, a broken boy, and how everything can change in a single moment. 

You tore my heart to pieces all while making me fall in love with you as a writer. 

If you don't know Jen as a writer, you have too. She broaches on all topics from romance to contemporary to heart warming stories as well as hard to approach topics. Like this one. When you first meet Mallory Dodge and hear the horror stories of what she endured makes your heart break. The reunion of the characters, Mallory and Rider, your heart bursts. 

I told you that I was ready as soon as I heard Wendy Higgins say that this was heart breaking, warming, and everything. I knew that this book just had to be great. I feel as though my heart couldn't take anymore but damn, Jen. Everything just broke my heart. 

Expectations are a huge thing to hit on in this book. Why? Everyone holds these expectations for you, sometimes low, sometimes high. But you just have to break them down, which is what happened to Mallory, Rider, and all of the sub characters. 

This plot didn't necessarily hit home for me personally but it definitely could trigger some bad memories for others. I felt that this book ultimately opened my eyes to things that I didn't see before. So with a 5 out of 5 stars, I urge you all to read.

Review: I loved this book. Words cannot be spoken as to how much I enjoyed reading this. In fact, it was one that I devoured within a day because I couldn't put it down. 

June and Evan will make your heart pound and your insides warm with the romance. Though, the book felt rushed on my part. But only because I hadn't read Until November. Which was purchased after reading this novel. 

If you like the Lolita type girls, June will be your next favorite MC heroine. She makes Evan feel safe. While her arms are his home, his are her castle. Their hearts soar together and their love is inevitable. 

4 out of 5 stars reaches for this book. It's sexy, funny, and lovable. Are you ready to meet June and Evan? 

Excerpt 1

Seeing Evan again is taking a toll on me, I can’t sleep and my mind is in a constant state of turmoil. I wake up in the middle of the night from dreams of us. The memories of him, of us are too much. Some memories have the ability to heal. The ability to light up the dark because the beauty of the memory is so bright you’re still able to bask in it.

But the memories of us are killing me slowly. They remind me that for one moment I had everything while reminding me it’s gone. It’s the realization that we’re done that’s killing me. The realization that I can see him but can’t touch him that he exist but he’s not mine is agonizing.

Excerpt 2

He’s beautiful his body is a work of art I want to touch him, I want to know what It feels like to have his bearded face against my delicate skin, I want to know if the rough edges I now see are smooth to the touch.

“June.” My name in his course tone gets my attention but when our eyes meet its not anger he’s looking at me with, its raw, powerful, hungry possessiveness.

The Opportunist - Tarryn Fisher (Love Me With Lies #1)

Published Date: November 14, 2011

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: Olivia Kaspen has just discovered that her ex-boyfriend, Caleb Drake, has lost his memory. With an already lousy reputation for taking advantage of situations, Olivia must decide how far she is willing to go to get Caleb back. Wrestling to keep her true identity and their sordid past under wraps, Olivia’s greatest obstacle is Caleb’s wicked, new girlfriend; Leah Smith. It is a race to the finish as these two vipers engage in a vicious tug of war to possess a man who no longer remembers them. But, soon enough Olivia must face the consequences of her lies, and in the process discover that sometimes love falls short of redemption.

I think that I have been hiding under a rock officially. I haven't read this book until now but I devoured this book. To be Olivia, is to be the craziest and yet the most perfect thing on Earth... Let me tell you why.

She is snarky. Smart. Beautiful. Avoids men.

Well the last part didn't work out so well. 

My heart was officially broken within these pages and I loved every single moment of it. The main reason I loved this was because there so much love that countered the lies within this. I just can not handle all of the feels. Goddamn it, Tarryn!

Okay, here's the thing. I read F*CK Love first and I have no hate against it. In fact, it broadened my eyes to take a chance on authors who are well-known but not to you. The book just sounded so good and I knew that I needed to get this book. 

Oh for the love of deceit that pours from these pages. The malicious attempt to get the attention of one man. The big man on campus. Because I mean, what is a book without the hot shot alpha male on campus that is the ultimate heart breaker? NOTHING. I swear it. There is nothing.

Though Olivia felt it in every vein of her body and soul, she knew he was trouble for herself right from the start but she just got sucked in. He was the hurricane of her life. Hell, he was the hurricane of my life too. I added him onto my book boyfriends list.

"I have finally accepted that there are consequences to every action. I earned them and they are rightfully mine. There is no time to make bad decisions. Every step is precious. The definition of living is mine." ~ Olivia

Oh Tarryn and your words of wisdom. You say that you are one of the most messed up people in the head yet you give us beautiful words on paper and you ultimately voice them through your characters. I fell in love head first with this. 

The way that the book ended will officially tear you apart. Get ready to 1-Click Dirty Red and read Leah's story.

I rate this a solid 5 out of 5 stars.

ARC: The Burning Offer - Aubrey Parker (Trevor's Harem #1)

Release Date: February 2, 2016

Genre: New Adult

Synopsis: The anonymous invitation that someone slipped under my door promises $1,000. Just for meeting a man downtown, in a public place, no questions asked. 

There’s no catch. I’ve checked. A banker vouched for the offer, the funds, and the wealth of my unknown host. I just have to show up. And given what’s gone wrong in Miami, I’m desperate for money. 

A man I can’t stand I can make more than I ever imagined, Daniel Rice tells me, if I agree to take part in a competition. 

But Daniel doesn’t impress me, with his tailored suit and silver cufflinks, with his big hands and callous manner. If Daniel is Trevor Ross’s right-hand man, I don’t even want to hear about Trevor’s little contest. 

It doesn’t matter how rich Trevor is. Daniel is a brute and a bastard, and for some reason he seems to hate me. 

Everything in me screams to run away, no matter how much I’m secretly drawn to Daniel. 

So why am I still here? 

A proposal I can’t believe Daniel is like an addiction, chipping away at my resolve, piece by piece. 

Just get into the limousine. Just get on the private plane. Just fly to an airstrip at the foot of the largest, most luxurious estate I’ve ever seen. Just stay the first night, then another. Tell no one where I’ve gone, or why. 

At each stage, they offer more money, easing me into the competition with all the other girls. 

I just wish it was only the money keeping me here. 

An offer I can’t refuse I only need to stay here in this place to make all that I need. I don’t even have to “participate” like the other girls do. 

There are twelve of us, but alliances were forming before I arrived. There are the three hired men, each one hotter than the last. There’s Trevor. And Daniel -- who the rules say I must stay away from. But I can’t. 

Daniel tells me I’m his, not Trevor’s or anyone else’s. He says he owns me. I hate the way he talks to me. But I can’t resist him, no matter the penalty. 

The rules say I can leave whenever I want. 

But for some reason, I don’t. 

Desperate times call for desperate pleasures.

I immediately fell in love with this book. Words cannot explain how well this book was written.

When I first read Aubrey Parker with The Boss's Daughter, I wasn't impressed very much. But then I read The Forbidden Muse and The Second Chance. I started falling in love with her at every turn that she gave her readers.

The Burning Offer is definitely one of the nittiest and grittiest books that she has ever given me. Though... I fell in love with how I was on my toes. Bridget is one of my favorite characters from The Inferno Falls series but we didn't get much of her throughout the three books. 

Now that Trevor's Harem has released, I know that we are going to love her. When Daniel was introduced... Dear Lordy, I think I may need some new panties. I just picture this beautiful creature when I think of him. 

When the other men are introduced... Well, I knew that I was going to love this book in general. Oh, holy hot men. They just sound attractive and Daniel, he definitely knows how to drive you crazy. When I was reading this book, I absolutely thought that Trevor is a freak for even thinking of doing this with women but whatever works to find your perfect match.

I finished this book within the day and it is definitely one of those books that you just cannot put down. If you aren't into the whole erotica scene, this book isn't for you. But it is definitely filled with romance. The forbidden kind of course. What's better than that? 

Lights, camera, action. Those words can all describe what is going on and what is to happen in this series. I gobbled this book up and I wish it didn't end so soon. Like why, Aubrey? You hook me and then you sink me. I need more of Trevor's Harem so I hope that I can get more soon. Especially in 2016. Maybe next month? I rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

And she just happens to have a seriously feisty, extra-hot best friend on the rebound. Randy’s more than happy to be Lily’s spring board back into the dating scene. 

Casual sex is only casual until those pesky things called emotions get involved. Once that happens, someone’s bound to gets pucked over.

Oh my puckin' god. This book literally has made my January. I haven't had the pleasure of reading the original two but I just immediately felt the connection of Lily and Randy. Like their love radiated from the pages of my kindle and I could not get enough.
I feel like I laughed more than I have in a while. Maybe it was Lily's antics or maybe Randy's thoughts but I knew that I could not get enough of them. It is so hard to pour my love for this book into words.

The thing that bugged me that most was that these stories are all stand-alones but this book was a good enough to want to go back and read the firs two. These are the stories that I am willing to add to my bookshelf in paperback.

I've had the pleasure of reading Pucked Over and I knew that I was just going to fall in love with them as a couple. Any person that gets themselves into casual sex... Well needless to say, you will need to read this book to get your information on this book. 

No spoilers because those are saved for the bad books ;) This is something that you just cannot rate bad because well Randy is sexy as hell and you just kind of fall in love with Lily's strong and loud personality.

Oh, but if I could get a man that can handle a woman as Randy can, that would great, thanks. What if the future brings our book boyfriends to life? I would definitely be on the show, Hoarders. Yikes... But, not ashamed.

I just can't put this book into further and greater words so I am going to go ahead and rate this a great 4.7 stars out of 5 and this is a book that you will need to 1-Click. Also, just because Helena is amazing as a person and you cannot get enough of her.
