Blog Tour Review: Let Me Go BY L.L Akers

Let Me Go by L.L Akers Genre: New Adult, Coming-of-age, Written by: L.L Akers Available as: Paperback, Kindle version Buy it here Published by:  SmArt Group Consulting, LLC         Meet Twin Sisters Gabriella and Olivia and step into their world of crushing heartbreak, constant fear and anguish. 'Let Me Go' was almost like an out-of-world experience for me, like I was watching myself, read the book, but I was right within those pages, looking out at the person holding the book. It is a story about a trio of sisters struggling to cope with abuse, while trying to fight for their families survival. Prior to starting the book, I asked around a little, (as always) to get a feel of other peoples views on the matter and I was shocked to see just how many people either didn't realize or didn't want to realize just how much truth there was to the story. I couldn't believe how often I heard the words '' GROSS EXAGGERATION '...

The secret of Ella & Micha BY J. Sorensen

The Secret of Ella & Micha (The Secret #1) Genre: YA, Contemporary romance, coming of age,  Written by: Jessica Sorensen Available as Paperback and Kindle edition  Published: October 2nd '12  Buy it here :  ''Just because it's broken doesn't mean it loses its importance and I figured i'd give it to you one day when you realized it was okay to make mistakes.”  Just after a couple of pages in, I had a feeling I'd enjoy the book, Jessica's writing style is so sweet, it's hard not to fall in love with her characters.   It didn't feel like she was trying too hard to appeal to certain audiences, her words just flowed naturally and nothing felt forced or too much. And isn't it always a little frustrating  when you come across an author who tries too hard to sound 'young and hip' and  all want to do is give 'em a stern glare, pat their back and tell them that no-one talks like that.  Seriou...

Back to you BY Priscilla Glenn

                                                              Back to you        Genre: NA, contemporary romance, child abuse/neglect, YA     Written by: Priscilla Glenn    Available as Paperback and Kindle edition   Published October 20th '12 by Creative Space   Get it here :       "I always knew I would fall in love with you," he said softly, "but you were never supposed to love me back." Now as you see by the rating alone, this one's quite high up there, especially because I hardly tend to rate anything higher than 3, even if I really enjoyed it. Usually my motto is, '3's plenty, no need to get rating happy! I've just seen a lot of people rating all of their previously read books above 4 and 5, completely throwing all caution to th...

                                                                                One Night with you            A story with  heartfelt passion, drama and sweet f antasies.      Main characters: Lady Jane Guthrie/ Seth Rutledge . Published in December 2007 by Avon. Genre: Historical Romance, British Literature .  ISBN: 0061339261   Buy it on Amazon here.   So a couple of days ago while scrolling through my updates on Goodreads, I noticed how a couple of friends had liked a review for this particular book. While I was unfamiliar with the name of the Author, Sophie Jordan,  I clicked on it and browsed through her profile. When I went back to check out the book the review was for I  instantly ...

Sylvain v Carter on my mind (again)

I still find myself getting irritated every time I come across another reader (typically female which just makes matters worse for me) who finds ways to excuse Sylvain's behaviour (A snobby, self assured character from the Night school trilogy) Throwing things around like "Yeah, but.. but Sylvain saved Allies life twice.. Carter didn't. Or straight out comparing the two and their actions.. ''Carter was so angry when he broke up, he nearly hit her...'' Right, let me stop you right there. Has it really come to this? Comparing an angry outburst of emotions to practically raping a girl? Justifying Sylvains actions just because Carter had a enough with Allie's nonsense? Reading through those comments made me incredibly sad, but at the same time, filled me with the most violent rage. I of course, in no way, excuse Carters behaviour, but let's look at it this way, he's quite in love with the girl, they've been through a ton of st...
I N T E R V I E W                                       J U S T I N   B I E N V E N U E   A little while ago now, the Author of  ' The Macabre Masterpiece ' contacted me and asked if I was still interested in conducting a couple more interviews for my blog and if so, if I was willing to interview him, too. I replied pretty quickly and after chatting for a little while, I finally emailed him back with the questions. ( Apologies again for taking a rather long time! ) After asking what sort of questions he'd be comfortable with, we decided on just keeping it quite basic, not quite focusing too much on his books alone, but also on his journey as a self published author. So without further ado, here it is, guys, popcorn at the ready and all that! What sparked the idea for the novel A Bloody Bloody Mess In The Wild Wild West? The title sort of just popped into my ...
