I read this in a group read and it was so much fun! I really loved the book from the opening scenes and that continues pretty much throughout the book. This is the third in the Ellery College series but can definitely be read as a stand alone as there isn’t much overlap. Both main characters made me love them but for different reasons – which is always a sign for a great book! Continue reading “Book Review: Unraveling Josh by Edie Danford”
I love all things Annabeth Albert! Seriously, I just fall in love with her writing more and more with each book and series of hers that I read. Beta Test is definitely no exception to this. I’ve also read a few books in the ‘gaymer’ genre and this genre just works so well for me which is surprising to me since I don’t have much interest in that area. Or maybe I just read really amazing authors! Continue reading “Book Review: Beta Test by Annabeth Albert”
I chose this audiobook based solely on the narrator. I fell in love with Khristine Hvam when I first listened to her narration of Daughter and Smoke and Bone a few years ago and this might be the 5th or 6th book I’ve bought just to listen to her narrate. She makes me enjoy just about any type of book I listen to and I’ve never been disappointed yet! But this book was even better – a happy surprise where the plot was great and surprising at every turn. Combined with Hvam’s narration it made for a wonderful overall experience.

Phew! I’m back from BEA and so exhausted from everything that went into trying to not miss a single second of the show. It was basically go-go-go at all times Wednesday through Friday but I regret nothing…especially as I look at my amazing book haul and even better pictures!

Title: Never Sweeter
Author: Charlotte Stein
Rating: 2 Very conflicted Stars
Reviewer: Melinda
This book is in the New Adult genre, which is unusual for Stein, as she usually writes more straight forward adult romances. But I am a fan of NA and of Charlotte Stein so I was excited to read this one. To be honest I didn’t even read the synopsis because I like her writing so much – she writes so beautifully and with an erotic edge to it. Continue reading “Book Review: Never Sweeter by Charlotte Stein”

Title: Kaleidoscope Hearts
Author: Claire Contreras
Rating: 3 Stars
Reviewer: Melinda
Unsurprisingly I like to read reviews before I read certain books. This book had been on my Kindle for a while so I looked up the reviews before I started reading and it had a ton of 5 star reviews, citing one of my favorite tropes – the brother’s best friend. Which just served to make me pretty excited to start it. I was a little surprised when I did and realized the MC was a widow. But I just expected/hoped that meant there might be even more depth to this novel than I was originally thinking there would be.

Title: Unraveled
Author: Jen Frederick
Narrators: Stella Bloom, Andrew Eiden
Rating: 4 Stars
Reviewer: Melinda
So this is just a Jen Frederick happy week! I know I just reviewed Paper Princess yesterday but coincidentally I also finished Unraveled on audio around the same time and wanted to get my review up for it sooner rather than later, so let’s just consider this Jen Frederick week okay? I’ve read Unraveled when it first came out back in January 2014 and loved it so when I found out the whole Woodlands series were being released on audio I was ridiculously excited. If you like audiobooks you should be excited too! Continue reading “Audiobook Review: Unraveled by Jen Frederick”
Title: Paper Princess
Author: Erin Watt (Jen Frederick & Elle Kennedy)
Rating: 5 Stars
Reviewer: Melinda
This book…this freaking book!! Jen Frederick announced that she and Elle Kennedy were combining their equally awesome author forces to write a young adult/new adult book about a month ago and since then I’ve been chomping at the bit waiting for the release because I knew it would be good and it was SO GOOD!
