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!

Hush And Crush by S.L Baum... the second and third to Lush.

Hush by S.L Baum

What a way to follow up to a slow first book. This one was a super quick read, didn't even take me a full day to read it.
Society as they know it is quickly unravelling. This book is much quicker and way more enticing than the first I must say, so I'm glad I kept reading. I'm a little disappointed in the predictability to this series but it would probably be a great read for the younger "young adults".

Crush by S.L Baum

...... I am severely upset... ok maybe not... but I am sad that this last book in the series was a fumble. It felt rushed, predictable, unrealistic. The characters and feel that was found in the second book was quickly lost in translation. It had so much potential and it was as if the author didn't want to write anymore and quickly came up with an end... it wasn't fitting... and I'm sorry to say I will not approve the series any further.

Lush with Life? Or A Flushed Waste of Time?!?!?!

Lush by S.L Baum



If you enjoy a game of chess... or a trudge up a hill to get to the climax of a story, well it'll be worth it. This book doesn't get to the grit and grime that grabs you and sucks you in until the middle/end but once it does there's no turning back.
Life is planned. Thought out. Everything is strategically planned from the moment you are born. Not everyone can raise children so after there fourth year the government does it for them. Perfect citizens upholding the beliefs of the government. Sounds so perfect.
Nothing is ever perfect my friends.
This book will end up capturing you in the mystery and suspense of our main character Bluebell and have you onto its sequel at three a.m. Or that could just be me.
A slow go but a good dystopian series thus far.
Other than the drawn out beginning there isn't much to complain about. A little condescending in the way it's written sometimes, as if the reader isn't that smart... and a bit predictable but it's a chance you take reading young adult novels. All in all I'll give it my stamp of approval and we'll see how the second one goes.

Successful? Or An Epic Failure?!?!

Hover by Melissa West:

Ari is now part alien and en route to save both the humans and the Leogans. Between the physical and emotional struggles through this thriller you won't be able to put this compelling sequel to Gravity down.
*Mind over matter*
Will she ever succeed this cliff hanging story and be reunited with her family and friends back on earth?????
The 3rd book is pre-ordered and now all I have to do is patiently wait.....

Is it December yet?!?!?!??!?

A Way Out? Or Just Another Corner?!?!

Radicals By Frankie Rose:

This novel that followed Halo went by way too quickly. Sincerely! Even when I tried to postpone and quit reading for a few days, I just couldn't keep myself away.
All I have to say to Frankie is- there best be a third book coming our way soon or I am just going to wither away into nothing. Haha.
Frankie definitely knows how to play all sides of the field and keep you guessing that's for sure. It's a novel that will keep you on your toes. Leave you fighting for every character and their freedom.
I'll keep it short and sweet since it's a sequel but if you like dystopian novels.... this is an absolute must read!!!!

To Feel? Or To Wound Without Thought?!?

Halo by Frankie Rose...                              

 Have you ever imagined what it'd be like in a world without emotion... where feeling was muted... drugged. Frankie Rose invites us into just that. A dystopian world of drugged feelings and fights to the death. 

She has us follow her main character in the greatest awakening of her life. A journey of experiencing raw and rigid emotion.... thrilling curves as she is thrown into a society completely opposite of what she has grown up in. A society governed by tradition and Gods.... true love and pain. Opportunity and destruction presents itself as the fine thread between the two worlds unravels. 

This book is contagious and spreads through you. An epic novel of pure enjoyment. Onto the sequel.... I can't wait.

To Play Nice? Or Be A "B****"?!

We've all heard men and women say.... she is such a bitch why are you with her? But the man is so enamored by her that there they stay. 

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this book. I've never really read something quite like this, but it caught my attention. 

Many women allow themselves to become a doormat or a mother moreso than a partner or a lover. 

It's important to do things for yourself. To be happy first and foremost with yourself. To not surround every waking moment indulged in your significant other. And if you have found yourself letting or have let these things happen you should read through.

There are great pieces shared from men and women alike. Sherry Argov gives out some great advice that seems pretty obvious when pointed out but there are also simple mess ups that many women do or have done thinking they're doing right but simply trying too hard.

Would definitely advise single women to read it before jumping straight into the dating scene!
