Date: 6/2/2015
Rating: *****
Review: I loved the first book in this series, but I had to read is twice in order to really appreciate it. I love the academia feel to it and how this author writes. It just seems like it is such a well thought out story, love love love.

WEEK 11: Roll 2: (rolled a 6) now on spot: 89


The Bridesmaid Blues by Tracey Sinclair 200 pages
Date read: 6/2-15
How it fits: Set in England
Rating: ★★
Review:
I didn't like this much. It was suppose to be funny but I couldn't see that. All I saw was a whiny main character who was drinking constantly. All through the book she is also complaining about being fat and in the end it turns out she is a size 12 compared to her friend's size 16. Not for me!

Spot 89 Alternative: Set in England

by Mark Billingham

Finished: 6/3/15
Rating: ★★
Review:

Ugh...this book was hard to get through. It didn't even get interesting until 300 pages in, which is just terrible. The characters were boring and the writing was amateurish. The "shocking twist" at the end was not so shocking. I gave it 2 stars for my enjoyment of the final 100 pages.

WEEK 11: Spot: 89

Book: The Darkest Seduction (Lords of the Underworld series Book 9)
Read: 6/3
Rating & Review: ★★★
I must admit that I have tried to read this book 3x before and couldn't make it past 20%. It's a shame because Paris has been of interest to me from book 2. I don't know why but his story with Sienna didn't live up to the hype. I think I've just lost interest in the series along the last couple of installments.
