Riot House ~ Review




Riot house was a short in the Bully Me anthology. I decided to wait for the whole book so I could read it all at once. I'm not a huge fan of cliff hangers.

This book is told from duel point of view which I really like. I like knowing what both characters are thinking and feeling.

The minute I started reading Riot House I was reeled in from the very beginning. I didn't want to put it down. This book features Wren and Elodie. Elodie is sent to Wolf Hall in America away from her father. He is in the military and is very strict.  Wren has been at Wolf Hall all his life and decided to make Elodie's life miserable.

Elodie has dealt with a lot growing up, and she's not going to let Wren and his friends take her down. Her father taught her out to defend herself and she uses it to her advantage.

I love how their secrets came out and they were both able to develop through the book. We learn a lot about the backgrounds and pasts of both of these characters. I was not ready for this book to end and I'm very excited for Pax and Dash's story!

I received an arc of this book and am leaving my honest opinion.

The Saint ~ Review



The Saint is the second book in the Haven Grace Prep series. I really enjoyed the first book, and was very excited to read this one! The Saint features Delaney and Knox. I would suggest you read The Sinner first as the two characters are brought up in the first book, and a lot of characters from the first book show up in this book.

Delaney is a good girl, who stays out of trouble. She goes to a private school. She is in the running for valedictorian. Her twin sister Tessa is the complete opposite of her. She is dating a guy who is friends with Knox. Delaney starts hanging out with Tessa and her friends and meets Knox. Know is the bad boy from the other side of town. He goes to the public school across the road from the private school.

Knox tries to tell Delaney to stay away from him. However feelings are mutual and they start seeing each other. Obviously things have to happen for it to be a good book. I couldn't put the book down. I wanted to keep reading to see what happened.

I really liked this book and can not wait for the next one in the series.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The Hunter by LJ Shen ~ Cover Reveal


Boston’s debauched elite is going up in flames, and it’s the Fitzpatrick family that

set it on fire.

The Hunter, an all-new dazzling and delicious contemporary romance from
USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen is coming May 11th and we have

the stunning cover!

Hunter

I didn’t mean to star in a sex tape, okay?

It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and

morning glory clouds.
It just happened.

Now my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and
morbid boredom under the roof of Boston’s nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan.
The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal

Pipelines, my family’s oil company.

Little does she know, that’s not the only pipe I’ll be laying…

Sailor

I didn’t want this gig, okay?

But the deal was too sweet to walk away from.
I needed the public endorsement; Hunter needed a nanny.
Besides, what’s six months in the grand scheme of things?

It’s not like I’m in danger of falling in love with the appallingly gorgeous, charismatic
gazillionaire who happens to be one of Boston’s most eligible bachelors.
No. I will remain immune to Hunter Fitzpatrick’s charm.
Even at the cost of losing everything I have.
Even at the cost of burning down his kingdom.

Ember by Emma Renshaw ~ Review



Ember was the first book I read by Emma Renshaw. I really enjoyed this book, and can't wait to read the next book in the series. This book is told from duel point of view. I like this books like this so you can understand what each character is thinking.

This book starts with Gunner hanging out with his friends and then a fire happens. He plays baseball and leaves his hometown behind. He has a hard time dealing with all that happened with the fire. 10 years later his mom asks him to come back. When he gets home he realizes he needs to be there for her.

Gunner meets Delilah. Delilah is going through her own battles. I like the connection between both characters and the room for growth between them. I had a hard time putting this book down, because I wanted to know what happened next.

Big Ben by Nana Malone Review


Big Ben had me captivated from the moment I started the book. From the funny banter between the characters to the more serious notes as well.

This book features Ben and Olivia (Livy). They meet in a closet when they are both hiding out from people. Ben is trying to get something important and has to hide it in Olivia's purse. As he tries to get it back he realizes she works for him.

They work together and Ben offers Olivia a better job to get his item he gave her back. He realizes he has feelings for her, and Olivia likes him too even though she has a boyfriend.

Ben protects Olivia trough some stuff and they become friends. I was rooting for these two, because I didn't like Olivia's boyfriend.

I really liked this book, but it ended on a cliffhanger, and now I have to wait to see what happens next!

Big Ben is now available for purchase!

Rebellion



Siobhan! Goodness. What a thrill ride with Harlow and her boys! I'm in love with
them all!-- Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

Rebellion, the shocking second installment in the all-new dark, reverse harem series The Sainthood- Boys of Lowell High from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is available now!

Everything changed the night he betrayed me, and now, the game has entered a new level.

Galen did me a favor, reminding me the only person I can count on is myself, and I’m more determined than ever to avenge my father’s death and avoid the destiny Sinner has  mapped out for me.

Saint is used to calling the shots, but there are new rules, my rules, and if he wants me in his life, and in his bed, he’ll toe the line. They all will, because I can’t pull this off alone, and they owe me. I’ll enjoy making Galen grovel, seducing Caz, frustrating Saint, and keeping Theo at arm’s length, because they deserve it for failing me.

Sinner thinks he’s in control, but forcing me into initiation plays right into my hands. War has come to Lowell as rival gangs battle The Sainthood for ultimate power, and I enjoy rebelling from the inside, placing more obstacles in Sinner’s path while I exact my revenge.

But I’m not some innocent thirteen-year-old anymore—I have blood on my hands and lethal enemies on my tail.

I’m playing a dangerous game, especially where my heart is concerned, but there’s no turning back. I haven’t come this far to walk away empty-handed, and the more secrets we uncover, the more we realize how far-reaching the betrayal and corruption extend, and there’s no choice anymore.

The Sainthood must be taken down, and we’re the only ones who can do it.

Excerpt

Things with Theo were always complicated yet simple. Difficult yet as easy as breathing. Our relationship now is no less complex, but I know I need to fix things with him. It’s no different from Galen in that regard. I can’t cause a divide in the group with me, Caz, and Saint on one side and Galen and Theo being frozen out on the other side.

But even if I do patch things up with them, I still don’t see how it ends up working out. There are too many barriers to unity, especially with Theo.

I remove my hand from Caz’s. “Hey, could you give us a minute?” I gesture toward Theo.

“Sure.” He kisses my lips. “I’ll grab us a table.”

Theo lifts his head, his eyes finding mine, and I hate the anguish I discover there, because I know I’m partly responsible for it. I step toward him. “Hey.” I peer into his beautiful hazel eyes. Green is most prominent today, but his pupils are ringed in a layer of brown and amber, and I could stare at his handsome face all day. Tentatively, I reach out, cupping one side of his face. “You doing okay?”

He shrugs, looking away, and I tilt his face around with my fingers. “Don’t do that. Please.”

“It hurts so much to look at you sometimes,” he admits, his voice cracking a bit.

“I know.” I press my forehead to his, and my heart beats wildly out of control. “I’m sorry if I hurt you with Caz in the car.”

“It’s not that,” he says. “I just miss you, Lo. Miss the way we were.” His hands land on my hips.

“I miss you so fucking much,” I whisper. Tears sting my eyes, and I’m horrified. I pull back, because I can’t break down here. “Can we go to the park tonight? Just you and me. Like old times?”

His eyes turn glassy, and a soft smile graces his lips. “I would like that. We are long overdue a talk.”

I nod. “You hurt me, Theo, and I’m not sure I’m ready yet, but I want to try.”

“I want to try too, because I want to fix things with us.”

“Do you think we can?”

He shrugs. “I don’t know. I think I’m even more confused than I was back then.”

“Because of me or someone else?” I gently inquire.

His eyes pop wide. “Is it—”

I shake my head. “I don’t think it’s obvious.”

The door opens, and Caz pops his head out. “You guys coming or what?”

“Always so impatient.” Theo punches him in the arm, but he’s smiling. “We’re coming.” He reaches back, and I take his hand, letting him lead me inside.

Rebellion review





Siobhan has done it again with this book!


Rebellion is book two in The Sainthood series. This book continues from Resurrection, so you need to read that book first.


This book follows Harlow, Saint, Galen, Caz, and Theo. Harlow is in love with the four boys. Something happens to Harlow at the end of book one, and in the beginning of book two she has to decide if she can forgive the four guys and work with them to try to take down the Sainthood. Can their bond be fixed by what happened to her?


This book has so many great moments. We go back in time with Theo and Galen to find out what happened between Harlow and them when they were younger. We find out a little bit about Caz's family life too. Saint is learning how to share her, because he's never felt anything like what he feels for Harlow before. All 4 guys are in love with her, and she's in love with the four guys!


This book is great, and now I can't wait for the next one. I loved every minute of this book. It was one of those books you can't put down, but at the same time don't want it to end.


I was grateful to receive an arc and am posting my honest review.
