"We've had several parents complain that Lachlan's the one teaching their kids swear words."

Lachlan stands, shoves his finger in his teacher's face. "That's bullshit, lady!"

I fucking love this kid!

Tower of Dawn

Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3.5 stars⭐

We don't look back. It helps no one and nothing to look back.

See I have this feeling that if I reread this series I won't like it...

I loved Chaol so much when I started this series so I was obviously going to give his book a chance, even though he let me down so hard in some of the previous books.
It wasn't bad but it got really boring at times. Or maybe I'm expecting too much at this point. And I think I wanted this book to be shorter.. I feel it could be 200 less pages and we still wouldn't have missed something from the story.

Aaaaanyway.. Maybe I'm just grumpy because my queen Manon wasn't in it, who knows..

Hunting Prince Dracula

Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

⭐5 stars⭐

Society at large is staggeringly obtuse. If one simply looks to others for their opinions, they lose the ability to think critically for themselves. Progress would never be made if everyone appeared and thought and loved in the same manner.

*sigh*
So much love for these books..
I adore these books and these characters and can not wait for the next book and their next adventure!
September is so far away...

Stalking Jack the Ripper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

⭐5 stars⭐

Wield your assets like a blade. No man has invented a corset for our brains.

I loved it! It was exactly what I wanted and I'm so glad I finally got to it. I'm only sorry it took me so long to read it.
Audrey Rose and Thomas were amazing and I can't wait to read more of their adventures.
Off to the next book.!

P.S. I still want a poofy dress to solve crimes in.

The Art of French Kissing

The Art of French Kissing by Brianna R. Shrum
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3 stars⭐

"He's just this guy here who went out of his way to completely screw me on day one."

"How did he screw you?"

"In the kitchen," I say. Then immediately. "DON'T. DO NOT."

That was a cute book that actually made cooking seem fun (see, mom, that was the way to go) and made me crave macarons BUT our main girl Carter was such an annoying character. She'd get mad over..well..pretty much anything and she just acted like a brat I just couldn't like.

I liked Riya and most of the other characters even though the book was a bit short to really get to know them. And of course my adorable baby Reid. A cute Japanese dude cooking for you? Yes please!

Overall I enjoyed it even though I'm not much of a cooking person and I wanted to smack Carter half the time. If you're looking for an quick, fluffy, fun read give this book a chance. And make sure you have snacks.

Fawkes

Fawkes by Nadine Brandes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐4 stars⭐

There has always been fear. There will always be fear. It's up to us to stand tall, even when the fear demands we bow to it.

I reeeeeally enjoyed this!

It was a tiny bit slow at times and I didn't really care for Thomas (he was kinda selfish and whiny) but I loved the rest of the characters and the story was awesome. The historical fantasy aspect was great and I loved the masks, the colour powers and the fact that Guy Fawkes and the plotters were actually in the book.

Also,
EMMA IS MY QUEEN! I just loved this girl she was amazing!

Someday, Somewhere

Someday, Somewhere by Lindsay Champion
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐4 stars⭐

That's the thing about music, I guess. It begins, it consumes you and then it ends.

A lovely debut novel by Lindsay Champion. I loved her writing and even though there were parts in the story I'm not usually a fan of, I still enjoyed the book much more than I expected to.
It was sweet, fast paced and filled with music and I'm one of those who actually liked how it all ended.

Olympian Challenger

Olympian Challenger by Astrid Arditi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3 stars⭐

I LOVE Greek Mythology so I was pretty excited to read this book.. The premise of the story was something I'd normally really really enjoy.

BUT
what ruined it for me were the characters and the romance. We get one detail about each character and then everything revolves around it. I couldn't like any of them and as for the romance, well, there was zero chemistry there and it was just not believable.

Overall it was fun and I enjoyed the quests and trials and will probably read the next book.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Sadly it's one of those times when I find myself not connected to the characters or the story at all... I blame my expectations.
World building was beautiful but unfortunately not enough to make me love the book.

Whether you're reading to be changed and challenged or reading to escape for a few hours who cares?
No one should be judged by what they read, nor should authors by what they write.

"I learned a lot about you. For instance, I learned that you're responsible for the breakdown of an ex-boyfriend's bank account-"

"Allegedly."

"-that you hacked a human police database and messed up their filing system when your friend was unjustly arrested-"

"Hearsay."

"-that you beat up a male demon who hurt your cousin-"

"I have an alibi for that."

Beauty of the Beast

Beauty of the Beast by Rachel L. Demeter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3 stars⭐

Funny thing, the past. No matter how hard you try to shut it from your mind, you always hear those whispers in your skull..
It's inescapable; a true prison in every sense of the word. Almost like being chased by a predator.
The faster you run away, the more it chases you, and the more it demands you surrender.

"This is your fault, you know."

"My fault?" His brows lift, but he doesn't look away from his magazine. "How on earth did you come to that conclusion?"

"Your freaky good looks made her blind to all but you, sunshine." His expression is blank, though his lips twitch.

"If only I could strike women speechless."

Music can be your friend when you have none, your lover when you're needy. Your rage, your sorrow, your joy, your pain. Your voice when you've lost your own. To be a part of that, to be the soundtrack of someone's life, is a beautiful thing.
