I finished
3.5 stars, I liked it but I was told the story vs lived the story and for me it makes the difference. There were certain events I'd have rather lived vs being reflected upon. So it wasn't as good as I thought it was, the emotional connection to the characters was meh and I couldn't really figure out exactly what they loved about each other....
Finished
and, while I thought the story was intriguing, it just was not what I expected from Julie Cross. I know she was cowriting, but I just feel like the story was not tight at all. I also finished
which was a great ending to the trilogy, though this trilogy is a bit weird. And I started
which is interesting so far. I'm also reading an ARC of

Just finish
, only to discover my library doesn't have the sequel (damn! hate when that happens). Soooo i'm starting
. Library has the rest of these - phew!
well I live in NC and when it snows an inch the entire state shuts down so I am in today :) I am finishing up
which has been interesting. I can't decide how I feel about it, but I couldn't stop reading it so I guess that says something :) I am re-reading
so that I can refresh my mind to start
and today I received in the mail
that I ordered off Amazon, because I loved
so much...so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

So far behind on posts here, but I'm so excited because I was in a bit of a romance rut and in DIRE need of a great YA read when I picked up
, which I loved! I wanted a bit more romance, because honestly there's hardly any here, but it was such a beautifully twisted and dark change from the contemp and paranormal romance reads I've had lately. I used to love Poe, so it was awesome reading a story that had him as a centerpiece. I heard the sequel is disappointing since we don't see much of Varen at all, so I'm bracing myself for that, but I definitely want to check it out.
I also finished Annie's latest
, and I'm loving this troubled start to Ky and Addie's story!
On a sour note,
was indeed a major bust, I am giving it a generous 3 stars but I'm miffed at the false advertising with this one. THe synopsis makes you expect a mysterious hero with an engrossing dom/sub mystery storyline, and I really don't feel like you get any of that. Bummed!

for review now, and
for my YA fix!

Damn, Belkis, I need to go through your list! lol A friend asked for suggestions the other day and it made me realize how disorganized my shelves were, I know I have a TON more faves to list. Not sure how I got behind, probably 2013 when I was flying through books and didn't always get on GR to get them in the correct shelves!

There was the story with Phoebe, and then all of a sudden a blurb like "as Finley's adventures continue in the Girl in the Steel Corset" I thought that's what I WAS reading... and then I start reading what I guess is the actual book and some of the things said contradict the short story
Finished
. Sweet mother of God. I'm speechless. But it was a great read. Now back to something more tame and back in my comfort zone.
