New Review! Monster in the Moonlight (The Moonlight Duet #1) by Jamie Schlosser 5 Cranky Stars

Monster in the Moonlight (The Moonlight Duet, #1)Monster in the Moonlight by Jamie Schlosser
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Cranky Stars


It's not often you read a story about someone who's ill. They are usually young and full of life with a grand future. I wish that could be said for Hannah. She was diagnosed with an unknown condition so while she's young she certainly doesn't have much time. She has a great life with great parents on their maple farm. Life is good for her expect her impending end. It's not until she meets a mysterious stranger named Ellister. He makes her feel whole and alive. He takes away her pain he gives her some hope. Ellister isn't what everyone thinks he is. He isn't some random stranger on the farm from the bank. He's there for Hannah and not in the way you think. He finds he has some admiration for Hannah and sets out to find a way to save her or at least make her last days full of love and light.


This was such an interesting story. It also has some little ties to another series set loosely in this world. My face lit up when i realized the little connections. My heart broke for Hannah she had such a good life and for Ellister who after years finally found his mate. I can't wait to read the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm not crying you are. Someone must be cutting onions. This is a mix of a happy cry and a sad one. This book picks up where we last left Ellister and Hannah. They are still trying to find a way to prolong their happily ever after. Yet this jump won't be easy. They find themselves jumping from different times where they meet number two and Envy. Envy is a false king who thinks he's all that and a bag of chips. He convinces Ellister to jump him to a different time and it's here things go south.


I love these two and I'm very happy with how it ended. Seeing the farm once more even if it's a different life than the one Hannah previously lived its all happy because she has Ellister. I'm sad to see these two go but Jamie Schlosser really wrapped this duet up with a nice bow. It really has something for everyone.

New Review! Tristan and Isabel: Apartment 11F (Wreck Me #3) by Aly Stiles

 

Tristan & Isabel: Apartment 11F (Wreck Me #3)Tristan & Isabel: Apartment 11F by Aly Stiles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Cranky Stars.


Tristan is being reintroduced back into normal life outside the prison walls. He's not sure how he'll make it. He's the most hated man in town. He's sleeping on his sister's couch and her roommate is a girl he once loved but pushed away. You know how that whole I'm not good enough for you song and dance goes. Isabel is making great strides in her life with the exception of her idiot boyfriend Pierce. First she's skeptical about letting Tristan in their home but slowly she comes around and sees the man he once was.


This poor man has been through it. Prison is no joke and even if it was 4 years that's a lot time on the inside. This book has a major secret that not even isabel knows that will have you blindsided. Pierce is a tool plain and simple he got his. Pretty good book with lots of heart and struggle.

Darby Adler is a woman on a mission. This poor girl cant sleep or even eat because death (not literal death she knows that person) is knocking on her door. She has a vendetta to settle with someone she was once close with. She is now in cahoots with Aemon. You see girl cant catch a break!!


Someone is killing witches and Darby and crew need to find out who or why before it gets way worse. Darby has a sneaking suspicion who it is. She finds herself in a pickle but boy oh boy is revenge is going to be sweet.


I will always have a girl crush on Darby. I want to take her on a nice vacation and feed her tacos. Can i also say I'm kind of sweet on Aemon. I'm always excited to read these books because I know I'll enjoy it and have a good time.

New Review! Perfect Problem (Mason Creek #20) by Cary Hart 4.5 Cranky Stars

Perfect Problem (Mason Creek, #20)Perfect Problem by Cary Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Cranky Stars


I love when first loves work out for people fictional or real its so cute and awesome. While Vanny and Jase may have got lost along the way they still loved each other fiercely. When the woman that brought them together has passed they find themselves in contact again. They both want answers but both are cautious. Vanny has been living her life while Jase has been out on adventures because Mason Creek isn't home with her. They navigate the waters and find themselves back to each other.


I really like this series and seeing past Mason Creek families was like coming home. There is just the right amount of drama and sexy times and a girl who tries to get in the way. Another comfort read from Cary Hart.

New Review! Taken by a Sinner by Michelle Heard 4.5 Cranky Stars

 

Taken By A SinnerTaken By A Sinner by Michelle Heard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Cranky Stars


If you love mafia men who will burn the world down for the woman they love Michelle Heard is for you. Theresa didn't start out loving or heck even liking Nikolas. He was king of the mafia and she wanted nothing to do with that life since her father died. Her mom was marrying the former head of the mafia who happens to be Nikolas dad. Yeah it's complicated. After much head butting and hating each other one arranged marriage and some tragedy love prevails.


This book had some action in the form of violence and sexy times. I will admit i didn't like how physical Nikolas was with Theresa at first. I know it's the whole macho mafia man thing but he could have tried. Her tormentor needed a slower death that's for sure. All in all another winner from this author.

New Review! Darkness Falls (In the Light of Day #3) by K.A. Graham 4 Cranky Stars

 

Darkness Falls (In The Light of Day book 3)Darkness Falls by K.A. Graham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Cranky Stars


Did I want a Stacey book? Not really I hated her and didn't think she deserved redemption. Did K.A. Graham give it to me anyway? Yep she did.


Just like previous books it was gritty, sex fueled and full of revenge. Darkness Falls is Stacey and Chris' story. It's their fall from grace to their falling in love. Its how they became friends with Quinn and Micah and eventually Devin and Jackson. It's their redemption arc and I'm not mad about it. I actually enjoyed it. Kudos to you making me kind of like a hated character. Just a little not a lot.
