Review: Famished Part 2

  Title: Famished Part 2 Series: Broken Series Author: Ellie Messe Release Date: May 2019 I’m a coward.  I just wanted to forget.  I just wanted an escape from reality.  I didn’t ask for any of this.  Hiding the truth just might kill me, but how can I come clean when everything around me is so twisted?  Funerals, weddings, secrets…between them all, I’m losing myself. I’m not even sure I know who I am anymore.  I missed the memo where families are built on lies.  The truth is coming out, and everything is about to hit the f*cking fan.  Due to mature content, recommended 18+  Oh my, wow! Where do I even begin?!  I seriously love this book/s. I get why it was split into to, but REALLY?! That ending on book one got me all kinds of messed up. Oh and as if the anxiety and emotions stopped there? Nope they continue right through to book 2 (YES, you MUST read these books in order from Broken to Famished pt 1 & 2 to understand what is go...

Review: Famished Part 1

  Title: Famished Part 1 Series: Broken series Author: Ellie Messe Release Date: Dec 2018 Moms a junkie, Dad’s not dead.  After lying to me for the past twenty-one years, Mom got in too deep with her debt and had to call not-dead dad to bail her out. But wait, there’s more; not-dead dad is a biker who thinks he knows what’s best for the daughter he's never met. Agreeing to bail dear mom out for the low, low price of one grown ass adult.  So here I am in some hot as sin city with my junkie mom racking up more debt, living day to day with a needle in her arm without anyone around to make sure she’s bathed or fed. I’m sure Ricky will love the fact his favorite hostage is MIA.  Like I don’t have enough problems I’m trying to deal with.  I just need some no name to make it all go away for a little while.  I don’t need love or romance; I just want to forget.  I’m a hungry man, plain and simple.  I’ve got a bomb ass family, great job, and a f*ckable face...

  Title: Tempt Thy Neighbor Series: Roommate Romps Author: Teagan Hunter  Release Date: July 29 2021 Don’t fall for your coworker…especially when he’s your roommate. Sutton Barnes thinks he’s Prince Charming, but he’s really the Prince of Hell. He’s egotistical. A user. A complete douchecanoe. And unfortunately now my coworker.

When Sutton bets me I can’t live in the same apartment as him and resist the “temptation”…well, game on. He’ll be the first to cave. There is no way I’m falling for his charm…not again. Awww... So I have been wanting something light, and fun, and fantastic and this was exactly what I needed.  Holland ends up in town with her brother Dean, needing a new place, and a new job. But what she doesn't expect is to run into Sutton. The guy she competed against in high school that ended up to be more- until it wasn't. Now, t...

Review: Broken Knights

  Title: Broken Knights Series: Gifted Academy Author: Michelle Hercules Release Date: Aug 2020 The war between Idols and Norms has finally begun. The Neo Gods have shown their hand. They plan to vanquish every single Norm by using any means necessary, even using Fringes to do their dirty work.

Chaos, the primordial god, wants me dead, and facing him seems impossible. He doesn’t care who wins the war. He wants utter destruction.

Review: Hateful Heroes

  Title: Hateful Heroes Series: Gifted Academy Author: Michelle Hercules Release Date: March 2020 The impossible has happened. I became the thing that I’ve hated my entire life. Thanks to Bryce’s gift, I’m now an Idol. But I no longer want to see them all destroyed. Thanks to Bryce, Rufio, Morpheus, and Phoenix, the four powerful Idols I’ve fallen in love with, I realize I can’t blame an entire race for the evil doings of a minority. Being an Idol doesn’t make my existence easier, though. On the contrary, thanks to the rare gift I’ve developed, I’m now wanted dead or alive. Some want to use me as weapon; others want me gone forever. We’re living in dangerous times, and the only Idols I can trust are my boyfriends. But we need allies because war is coming and we can’t fight in it alone. Ahhh, I cannot deal with that ending .. I need answers quick!  This book picks up where book 2 left off, and these books must be read in order! With Daisy's new powers, comes new challenges. On ...

Review: Ruthless Idols

  Title: Ruthless Idols Series: Gifted Academy Author: Michelle Hercules  Release Date: September 2019 I knew being the only Norm at Gifted Academy would be hard and dangerous, but I didn’t expect to be tossed out of a window. Also didn’t expect to be saved by one of the Magnificent Four. Bryce brought me back from the brink of death, but he did more than heal my broken bones. He weakened my defenses and carved a place in my heart.  He’s not the only one vying for my attention. Rufio, Phoenix, and Morpheus have all changed their attitudes toward me, and recklessly, I want to know where it will lead. But a complicated romance with four ruthless Idols should be the least of my worries. Powerful players are closing in, getting ready to either use or destroy me. I don’t know which one is worse. Ruthless Idols picks up right where Wicked Gods left off, and these books must be read in order.  Daisy's feeling for the floor idols becomes complicated, but they are still Idols...
