Oh I still need to read book 2 Split Second (Pivot Point, #2) by Kasie West I loved Pivot Piont!"

I think Split Second ..."


I liked the second book better, too! And I agree, I didn't now at first it was a duology. But I think she did a great job with it as such.

I started Taking Chances (Taking Chances, #1) by Molly McAdams and I'm totally disappointed so far. I'm about 15% in and the writing just isn't good. The tense is all over the place. I can't believe William Morrow published it like this? I'm totally confused! I will give it to 25% and then drop it. The insta-love crap is more annoying than anything else.

You can't give it up!! I personally love all things by Molly McAdams. Have you read or heard about the love/hate everyone has because of this book?

Did you just read one that was really bad Brooke? Don't you think you owe it to yourself NOT to do that again?

Ok 20% into Taking Chances (Taking Chances, #1) by Molly McAdams and I'm done. I'm not sure what the whole controversy was about, but I didn't get to it. The MC was just totally annoying and none of the characters, except maybe Bree, were realistic or relatable at all. I also found it poorly edited, a huge pet peeve of mine. So I'll quit before I get too annoyed. and If someone would kindly let me know what the controversy was, I'd be happy to hear it. I think I'll go read the spoiler reviews. Also, at least for the 20% I read, this book was beautiful disaster with a love triangle.

Yeah, I went and read the spoilers. I'm glad I'm not reading further. Someone posted a scene from about 60% into the book, the writing and interactions don't get better, so it's just not for me. I'll pass on this one for sure. Now I feel sad, though, b/c I had heard such great things about the author. Not sure if maybe I should give another one of her books a try.

I just finished Shattered Glass (Shattered Glass, #1) by Dani Alexander and at times it was so funny I could barely hold my bladder and at other times I was sobbing like a baby. BUT much more hilarious than sad.

I actually started reading the reviews and people were sad and crying and yelling and I figured it out before I even read the spoiler. But I read it anyway. Glad I'm not reading on. So many other things out there to make me happy reading. I need happy reading! LOL!

I do think it was her first. But the weird thing is that it's published by a big publisher and the editing is just not good. How is that even possible?

Yeah this is one that I had bought because of the high ratings it had and then I started reading some of the mixed reviews and decided that this one definitely wasn't for me so in my library it stays :)

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay I finished Black Box by Cassia Leo and was not what I expected. I'm not really sure what I was expecting. I went into it without reading reviews or anything, didn't want anything ruining it for me since I'd been wanting to read this one for so so long. I liked it. Not as much as I thought I would, but still a very good read. I loved so many things about this book and disliked so many others. My biggest issue being the disparity between the first and second halves of the story. Almost felt as if it was two different stories at times. But I did enjoy it for the most part. Now I'm back to The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black so I can finish this one up.

If you like UF Jaz Parker series is what I've been reading though I've read books 1-5 b2b so I'm going to break from them for a bit.


Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments Finished One More Bite (Jaz Parks, #5) by Jennifer Rardin it was good in the relationship department and kind of boring in the mission department. It wasn't as funny though it did have moments. So I liked it just not as much lol.

I've also started Slade (Walk Of Shame, #1) by Victoria Ashley and will probably knock that out soon. I also think I want to pick up The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner hopefully it's my cup of tea, but I'll have to be in the mood for it.

Paula (littledarling2012) | 621 comments I finished Tied (Tangled, #4) by Emma Chase and it was fabulous. Seriously, nearly better than the first one. Drew at his best. And his views on parenthood....hilarious. Loved it.

Next read will be Grayson by Lisa Eugene as soon as I get the ARC. It sounds really promising.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay so I finished The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black very late last night/very early this morning and I didn't like it as much as I hoped I would. The beginning was so great but it sort of went nowhere from there. Oh well, just not for me I guess. I plan on starting Knight (Unfinished Hero, #1) by Kristen Ashley next. I need some KA alpha male yumminess :D

It was interesting enough Tracy. I loved the premise and the cover and the title and the first few chapters. It was just the characters, they irritated me mostly. And the plot, it went nowhere basically. But it fed my imagination and the crazy vampire was a freaking hoot LOL!

Oh, lordy...HAAAATE this book and will never trust any romance she writes. It's about 50-50 on here with what readers thought of how she handled this story, but I'll tell you this-I've had probably 3X the 'likes' for my scathing review of this book as I have for any of my other 700 reviews. That says a lot, as far as I'm concerned.

September is just too darned busy in my house, I miss getting on here and chatting! What's the latest and greatest rave these days? I decided to go ahead and push through Lover Reborn (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #10) by J.R. Ward even though I'm SO anxious to get to Q's book. Having trouble getting into this one, but that's probably more my wishing it didn't come first. =)

Got an ARC of Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward which I've been looking forward to for weeks, so that's on my list for this weekend!


Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments I just finished Slade (Walk Of Shame, #1) by Victoria Ashley it was really good for a novella the sex scenes didn't feel like they were forced or even that there we too many the story developed well I enjoyed it a lot. Which for me is surprising since I don't typically enjoy such short books.

I'm debating if I want to go back to Jaz series or maybe do Maze Runners or something else. I think I'll go do some of the chores I've been neglecting to read and maybe that will help me decide.

I remember reading your review Erin cause it totally seemed like a book I could get into but I am so glad I didn't I don't want to read a book like that with that type of ending.
