Forgotten? Or Lost Forever?!?!?! The Forgotten Girls by Alexa Steele

The Forgotten Girls by Alexa Steele

Alexa Steele is the newest up and coming author! I'm so excited to rave about this book. If you're looking for a real feeling murder mystery/thriller/full of suspense... this is a must read! I was a little hesitant that our main character is a woman but honestly the story has other characters that actually add to what Bella does... it isn't just about her. She isn't juuust the person to solve the mystery which makes it feel even more real. EEEEK!

Alexa had me excited and guessing the whole time. I felt like it was definitely something I'd see on t.v. Which if someone out there is smart enough they'll make it into a movie ;)

The Forgotten Girls is a great novel and she plans on having a sequel so that we can follow Bella to the next mystery! Cannot wait!!!!!

Armed? Or A False?!?!?

Mediocre at best... I wanted to fall in love with this story. This novel feels young, written from the authors mind and that is it. When we read we want to feel as if the characters are real, vulnerable, like we are the fly on the wall. The author is like the puppeteer and in this book all I see is strings and all I hear is her voice. I'm sad to say there's nothing to attach you to the unbelievable characters within. And the storyline really couldn't stand on its own due to the lack of character so I won't be moving forward through this series as much as I may have wanted to.

To Know Who You Are? Or Not To?!?!?!

A Different Blue- By Amy Harmon

I'm not quite sure how to start with this one. There were parts that were really good and there were parts that were not so much so. The feeling this story gave me was one of randomness. There wasn't an ebb and flow that you long for in a good book. I wanted to feel swept up into whatever world Amy was sharing with me... however I felt just a step away from or even on the verge of stepping in.
A woman who doesn't know who she is, how old, or where she actually came from... fighting to keep her world from unraveling... sounds so good. And yet a bit of a let down.

To Try And Sleep? Or To Stay Awake?!?!

Before I Go To Sleep by S.J Watson

Tantalizingly creepy and bound to make you think twice before doing the wrong thing. Real and gripping as you read page by page to figure out who tried to kill Christine and took away all she knew. And the better question you need to ask yourself is why.....
If you're into a good murder mystery that meets psychological thriller this is a story that sets the bar high. I would love to read more from S. J Watson or simply to pick their brain from the things they've seen working.
Definitely kiss approved.

Is It Real? Or Is It Something Unearthly?!?!?!

Gravity by Abigail Boyd

Hauntingly mysterious! As long as you can handle ghostly murder mystery it's a riveting book. With my imagination I don't watch ghostly movies but this is the first time I've ever tried a book as such.
Abigail is talented enough that you want to read it all in the day so the dark shadows at night aren't in question by your imagination.
Startlingly real.
I was gripping the book, craving to know what had happened to Ariel's best friend Jenna. And as we come to the end there are deeper darker questions waiting to be answered in the second book. I cannot wait. A book worth the time to read!

Continuation on the Grim Reaper series! 3rd 4th & 5th book reviewed.

Third Grave Dead Ahead.... Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet..... & Fifth Grave Past The Light 

By Darynda Jones

3rd: I abso-fricken-lutely love this series. There is so much mystery, if you like SVU and murder type mysteries you've got to get your hands on these books! Continuing the drama in this and more thrilling escapes that Charley makes is so delicious! I just don't want to stop reading this. Ever! I do like with each book you don't technically need to read the one before it. Darynda brushes up what's been going on in the one before it in the beginning of each one.
4th: I think I could read this series for a loooong time. There's enough mystery and drama in Charley's life I don't get bored with it. I always want to figure out how in the the hell these people died and who killed them. I am fond of a couple of the guys Charley flirts with such as Garrett Swopes and the biker dude Donovan that frequents the asylum next to her dad's bar. If they could please be sent my way I would so greatly appreciate it. Can this please be made into a t.v show?!? Oh please oh pleeeeassse!!!!!!?!!?
5th: To say this series is awesome is an understatement. This book was just as great as the rest of them!!!! I can't wait for the next. Charley is so funny and such a beautiful character. I just love it.
But for those of you who weren't feelin' this series I tried to keep it short and simple so I can move onto the next, hopefully amazing, read! xoxox

Mystery? OR Should It Be History?!?!?! Second Grave on the Left by Darynda Jones

Can we just say snuck instead of sneaked??? I don't like it, 'proper' english or not. haha. But. For realsies through these two books every time I read 'sneaked' I couldn't help but cringe and in my mind say SNUCK! I'm weird. I know. But can someone agree with my thinking here???

You really can't help but love Charley throughout these books. If you like good sarcasm, a girl with spunk-vinegar- and a wholelottaspice you'll love it! She is so quirky and thinks of the greatest things to say. Things I wish my brain thought of in time and not after the fact... the "OH I SOOO SHOULD'VE SAID THAT!" (we all do it) You can't help but smirk or shake your head.

I'm happy this book has new mysteries and keeps you guessing. I will be honest I "thought" that I could guess the murderer and get in front/stay one step ahead of the book but yeah fricken right. Frustratingly enough (in a good way ;) ) with each twist and turn I was thrown off and was cliff hanging at the end!
Adventurous and as thrilling if not more-so than the first a great paranormal meets Private Investigator smorgasbord! Get ready for a ringer, it's gonna leave you wanting more in mid-air!!!!

KISS APPROVED! :**** 4/5

A Killing? Or A Slow Torture?!?!?! First Grave On The Right by Darynda Jones

When my friend from work told me about this book series she definitely peaked my interest... the next day she hands the first three books to me. 

YIPEEE!!! 

For all you lovers of books you'll probably understand this but it's like someone gave me a box of chocolates! <3 Instead of my mouth watering, my brain was ready to read! Now, when I read the back of the book :/ that was a different story. It honestly was kind of a turn off. But needless to say I gave it a chance and instantly fell in love with the grim reaper... aka, our lovely heroine of the story, Charley Davidson. 
This book is something I can see being made into a t.v. series. ABC family... someone... get on this!!!!!! I'd like Nina Dobev (Elena Gilbertson from vampire diaries) to be Charley Davidson... and Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvador from vamp diaries) as Reyes. PLEASE someone back me up on this!@#*
Anywho! This book is SVU meets paranormal which I believe they did do a tv series somewhat like this... that was called the Dead Files?.. but I highly doubt it even came close to how this book made me feel. I was hooked as soon as I started reading. It's funny and witty, thrilling and mysterious, sexy and tempting. Oh I just loved it ok!?
It keeps you on your toes and keeps you guessing like any good murder mystery does. So if you like some romance, some sarcasm, some murder mystery, some paranormal... allll mixed in one check it out!
I only hope it doesn't get any more harlequinny... I've decided I'm more of a PG13 girl. And this book wasn't bad at all so don't get me wrong. But I can get the hint that he wants her, and she has sex with him, lalalala, without any lady or maley parts being mentioned...sometimes I'm a sissy haha but Don't let it frighten you off. It was mentioned like twice throughout the whole book, no biggie. 
Just going on a I want to have an innocent read rave. LOL 
Kiss aaaaprooved ;**** 4/5
