What Are You Reading? 2015
I started
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?

Well yeah you probably should.

Well yeah you probably should.


I still need to finish this... Hope you like it"
I loved it.. a really good ending to a really good trilogy.. IMO :)
Ok 20% into
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.



Oh Tracy :D you're always so good with the funnies LOL!

Well at least you aren't all invested in it like whatever it is. Just cut your ties and move on.

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 believe Erin's review mentions it. Or you can gather from it what happened.

It wouldn't hurt if you did. Was this her first?

I just finished
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 :)

Hate that you bought it though. I just don't have time for mediocre.

That's just wrong :(


OMG Tracy seriously, you missed your calling LMAO!


Yeah, but I got it cheap thank goodness hahaha
I read the synopsis' from her other books, I don't think they are for me. I see a lot of insta-love, which I'm not a fan of. I don't want to waste my money or time.

Can't say I blame you. There are so many other fish in the sea.

Oh Belkis, I'm sorry you didn't like it. Glad it wasn't a total waste though.

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!


I bought it too, and after reading all the reviews I didn't start it. So it sits in my library too


It happens Mandy, hopefully you got it cheap too :P.

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
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
which I've been looking forward to for weeks, so that's on my list for this weekend!

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.

Oh I still need to read book 2
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.
