February Wrap Up

I didn't read as much this month as I did last month, but it's still pretty good. In my defense, I got Sims 4 and my life will never be the same.

1. Lover Mine

I gave this book 5 stars. So this month I continued my binge read of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, so the next 4 books are on this list, so I'm gonna get through them pretty quickly. I loved John and Xhex.

2. Love Unleashed 

I gave this book 5 stars. Payne and Manny's book felt almost like a novella. I read it so quickly that it felt almost like a filler book, but a really good filler book. I loved Payne and Vhicious's reunion.

3. Defiant Attraction

I gave this book 4 stars. I read this one for the New Adult Book Club and I adored it. I would have loved some justice to have happened because there were some things that did feel very uncalled for and just unfair, but overall I really enjoyed it. Would recommend to NA lovers.

4. Lover Reborn

I gave this book 4 stars. Enjoyed, but not as good as it could have been. I feel like I expected so much more because I read some peoples reviews on this and they talked about how this was their favorite. There were several people who said that so I expected a lot more.

5. Finding Rhiannon

I gave this book 4 stars. If you like dark romances this is for you, just be warned there was a scene that literally made me sick to my stomach and other parts that I actually had to skip past.

6. Lover at Last

I gave this book 5 stars. I was basically just trying to get up to this book. I've been wanting to read this one since 7 or 8 books ago, but I knew I couldn't just read this one and not those ones because nothing would make sense, so I read the others and I'm glad I did. I decided to give myself a break from the binge after this book. I will finish the rest at a later date because I can only handle so much fantasy at once.

7. Olympian Challenger

I gave this book 4 stars. I'm so pumped for the sequel. I mean this book isn't going to be released until July, but I'm ready to wait.

8. Thorn

I gave this book 2 stars. That's actually being a bit generous, but I'll leave it. I was not impressed by this book at all. Letting my feelings for this book fester has left me hating it more as the time has passed. I'm still actually very interested in seeing what happens in the next book, but I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone pick this up.

9. The Big Bad Wolf

I gave this book 3 stars. I wrote a review for this one and I haven't posted it yet, but basically, my feelings were that I didn't think I would remember the plot of this in a week or two. The only reason I actually remember the plot is because I said that in my review.

10. Stolen Songbird

I gave this book around 4-4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this one. It's been a hot minute since I've actually read a physical book as I've been trying to get through my hefty list of ARCs before their release dates. Anyway, I got the sudden urge to read one of my books and this one felt perfect. I really enjoyed it and I'm really excited to read the sequel.

11. This Heart of Mine

I gave this book 4 stars. This one was very cute, lots of emotion good and bad, and I would recommend this to everyone who wants something truly heartfelt. Pun intended.

12. Our Dark Stars

I gave this book 4 stars. At the time I originally rated this one I was under the impression that there would be a sequel, but now I realize that there probably isn't and I made it up in my mind. After this realization, I decided I wanted more out of this book than I got. There needed to be more expanding of characters and setting, maybe even with the plot. It was a quick read, but I felt like everything stopped just a little bit short of what I would have expected.

October Wrap Up

Not having a TBR during October really helped me not stress over what I had to read, so I think I'm going to skip doing a TBR again this month and see where that goes. I read a lot of books this month, 14 in total.

1. Hideaway by Penelope Douglas

I gave this book 5 stars. I loved this book so much that in the month of October I actually read it three times. There are no words to describe how much I loved this sequel.

2. Black Snow by Lena North

I gave this book 3 stars. This was the fourth book in a series and I have to say that compared to the other three books in this series I'm pretty disappointed. It didn't live up to the last three books which I loved.

3. The Girl Who Saved Ghosts

I gave this book 4 stars. I'm liking this story more and more as we go along. It has a thick plot, lovable characters, and a well written slow burn romance (hopefully).

4. Adrenaline by Penelope Douglas

I gave this book 3.5 stars. This one was pretty good because it's Penelope Douglas, but it was really a shell of a book full of deleted scenes and scripted speech so it really wasn't a novel, so 3.5 is the best I could give it.

5. Next to Never by Penelope Douglas

I gave this book 5 stars. Now this one earned it's five stars. This was just the month that I fell back in love with Penelope Douglas's writing. This is seemingly marketed as a story about Quinn, and while Quinn is the protagonist, it's actually the Katherine and Jason story we all wanted. I was so invested in this I never wanted to stop. Unlike Hideaway, I only read it once this one.

6. Dark Mafia Prince by Annika Martin

I gave this book 4 stars. After reading all that Penelope Douglas I was in the mood for more dark romances and this was the one I set my sights on. It wasn't amazing, but it was entertaining and kept me on the edge of my seat.

7. I Hate Everyone But You

I gave this book 4 stars. This just reminded me of some of my past friendships and I couldn't help but relate. This is the friendship that everyone needs in their life and the authors do an amazing job at making the characters down to earth.

8. Savage Mafia Prince

I gave this book 4 stars. This is technically the third book in the series, but each of the books in the series is about different people so I can totally read them out of order.

9. Because You Love to Hate Me

I gave this book 4 stars. This anthology was filled with thirteen stories that were either hit or miss. They were mostly hits earning this book a 4-star average from me. I would definitely recommend reading it. I also have a giveaway going on for a hardcover copy of it on my blog if you are interested. You can enter here.

10. The Silver Mask

I gave this book 4 stars. These past two books were a bit disappointing compared to the first two books in the series. I loved the first two so much and it's just felt like a step down from that. I still really enjoyed this book though and I can't wait to read the Finale next year.

11. Adventures in Farland

I gave this book 2.5 stars. I was sent this book for review and I have to say it just isn't for me. It's for a very young audience and I just felt that I couldn't get my mind on the right level to enjoy it.

12. Offsetting Penalties

I gave this book 4 stars. This book was really cute. It was a bit short and had some things I would have loved to have been resolved, but it was still worth a read.

13. Wicked Mafia Prince

I gave this book 3.5 stars. I didn't enjoy this novel as much as the other two, but that may just be because I didn't read it right after finishing the others, I waited a bit so I could finish other books. My bad.

14. Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas

I gave this book 5 stars. After waiting on this for two months I finally read it and I have to say, wow. I have a review coming of this soon so I won't say much, but I will say I didn't expect to actually enjoy this one that much, but I did.
