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...

The Fallen Star (The Fallen Star #1) BY Jessica Sorensen

The Fallen Star  Genre: YA, Paranormal Romance, Fantasy  Written by: #1 NYT best selling author Jessica Sorensen Available as Paperback or ebook Buy it here :  Published by: Creative Space in August '11 ISBN: 1461052149 Well this is one is gonna be a tough one to write, but here we go! Usually, Jessica's books are pretty high up on my list of YA favourites,  her books are sweet and usually highly entertaining, however... it saddens me to say, that I don't think 'The fallen star' is gonna make the cut. The story started out sweet and mysterious enough, and I was ready to throw myself into a new paranormal romance series.  Social outcast and protagonist Gemma walks through life unable to feel any kind of emotion, she's hollow and completely numb to anything going on around her..her family is a little on the odd side and to top it all off she seems to be on the verge of losing her sanity. That is,  unt...

Dr. Susana Case, Professor of behavioural Sciences at NYIT  This was probably one of the most charming review requests I've received to date. I'm pretty keen to get started on this because I've not yet had the chance to review Poetry books, so this'll be an interesting 'change o' scenery.' Susana offered to send me a hardcover copy of ' Elvis Presley's Lips & Mick Jagger's Hips', but as tempting as the offer was, I had to decline out of fear for the well being of my book shelf! I'm not sure it could handle anymore books right now... So a PDF will have to do. (insert sad face here.) Shame though, would have made a nice little keepsake to add to the collection! If you'd like to find out more about the book, or any of her previous books, please check out the links below! That's it for now. Until next time! Happy reading.
