And because I haven't a clue, I will totally let Tessa pick my book for me. I've been eyeing The Peer and The Puppet for a while now...

Here's the pretty....

The book that was chosen from all of our suggestions and plucked from the magical randomizer for her to read is...

Insidious (Tales from the Dark Side, #1) by Aleatha Romig

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
From Tessa's All Time Favorite's List:

Michele picked Vicious (Sinners of Saint, #1) by L.J. Shen

Lisa picked The Darkest Sunrise (The Darkest Sunrise, #1) by Aly Martinez

Nay picked Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, #1) by Chloe Walsh

Jenn picked Ryan's Bed by Tijan

Jean picked Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, #1) by Chloe Walsh

Leslie picked Survival of the Richest (The Trust Fund Duet, #1) by Skye Warren with a little bit of help... LOL!

Paula picked Every Wrong Reason by Rachel Higginson

Ela picked Lake Silence (The Others, #6) by Anne Bishop

Tessa cheated and picked The Peer and the Puppet (When Rivals Play, #1) by B.B. Reid for Grey because she was a slacker and didn't pick fast enough *giggle*

Tessa | 1761 comments I just finished a BLEH book so after my cleanser, I'll get into Insidious.

And yes... Peer and the Puppet for slow pokes! :P


message 56: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments Grey, I actually picked Keeping 13 from Tessa's list!!

I love everyone's picks!

Cracker jacks...I'll fix it when I get home on my laptop. Sorry, Jean!


message 58: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments Not a problem at all.......thanks for all you do for us here!!

Lisa Aiello (lisaaiello) | 2460 comments The Darkest Sunrise (The Darkest Sunrise, #1) by Aly Martinez

This was a 4.5 star read for me. Porter Reese gets 5 stars for sure. He is the perfect man. Yep, I said it. Perfect!!! I will be back for the 2nd book, but I don't think I can do it right away. This one made me physically hurt. It is my first Aly Martinez, and I am definitely going to be checking out more of her stuff, cuz this woman does angst well!!!


message 60: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 2430 comments Do you know what I hate??? Book amnesia!! (It's totally a thing)

I see comments from you guys and I'm all like "oooh, that book sounds good" and I look and I've already read them but remember NOTHING!!

Lisa, I just did this with Darkest Sunrise. Ugh!

At least Goodreads remembers that I've already read it.

It is a thing! You know how many books it says I loved and I'm like, um... I don't remember it? :D

It is angsty! Gah, but the second one, while angsty... Gah, so good. However, TAKE A BREAK :D And he is swoon worthy, isn't he? I'll eventually get the next one since it is in the same world but a total stand alone, and supposedly a lot less angst.


message 63: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments I totally have book amnesia too!!! LOL!

Lisa, I can't believe that was your first Aly Martinez book! You definitely have to read book 2 and her others. Great author!

I'm at 92% of Keeping 13......it took me so LONG to read this book, but I love it (more than the first book) and will definitely be finishing tonight!


message 64: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments Lisa, try the "On the Ropes" series by Aly Martinez! LOVED!!


message 65: by Tessa (new)

Tessa | 1761 comments I tried but had to DNF Insidious. It was going to a place that usually ends up with me feeling utterly horrible afterward. :( But, one more off my TBR.

the Peer and the Puppet got 4 stars from me! Thank you!!!


message 69: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Aiello (lisaaiello) | 2460 comments Wait...what? You DNF'd Insidious? Like Aleatha Romig's Insidious? Without getting to the ending? I just don't even know what to say. The ending is EVERYTHING!!! Okay, deep breaths, Lisa!

It gave me the same uck that I feel when reading about serial killers, even if she wasn't. *shrugs* I just felt that crappy feeling coming.

*squee!* I was hoping you'd like it. It felt like Fear Me without all the physical stuff.

Jean | 1658 comments Yes, i do love those kind of endings Lisa!

Leslie | 2430 comments Jean wrote: "Yes, i do love those kind of endings Lisa!"

I totally hate them! I dont like leaving a book or movie with unanswered questions. This is why I have such a hard time with psyche thrillers. 🙁

My endings need to wrapped up tight in a big beautiful bow.

Ela | 4291 comments Dirty Ugly Toy was really good....a tad darkish with a HEA!


message 84: by Michele (new)

Michele (guilliem) | 2131 comments I finished Vicious and loved it! 5 star read for me!


message 85: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments Yay Michele!


message 86: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 2430 comments I am having a hard time with ebooks lately...I'm finding audiobooks so much easier. Especially this time of year when everything so busy. Unfortunately I cant get Survival of the Richest (The Trust Fund Duet, #1) by Skye Warren on audio. Well, I can but Im not paying $7.49 for it. Grrrr

Reading it has been super slow going. At 39%

I loved Vicious too! He was a great book-boyfriend (lol)!


message 88: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 2430 comments Ok, i think I'm going to have to pause Survival of the Richest (The Trust Fund Duet, #1) by Skye Warren for now. I will go back to it when library gets it on audio.
