REVIEW: The Autumn You Became Mine By J. L. Lora


SHE WAS ETCHED IN HIS HEART

Chase

I’ve never walked away from a fight in my life…until Lauren said we didn’t have a chance. Then I ran back to the underworld.

Racing? I’m revved for it. Boxing? I never pull my punches. Gambling? I’m all in. The chips fall, I get knocked down and end up in Baltimore. Now, I’m back in front of the woman imprinted in my heart since I was a kid, who sent me spiraling twice. Will the odds be in my favor if I bet on her again?

Lauren

Guerrera a la guerra. Warrior goes to war. That’s my motto. I fight battles every day, tackling them in my choice of armor, velvet red lipstick, and honey-gold eyeshadow. I am going to build my business. Nothing and no one will get in my way. My problem? I can never say no to Chase Blake. Even when he shatters my world as he does my soul. He’s back, and I won’t let him distract me when I’m so close to my dream.

When my life implodes, I’m forced to face my truth. He’s in my heart and staying there. Can I trust him not to wreck me again?
Oh man this author definitely takes you on a trip into their world full of drama adventure Sex fighting turmoil and love. I cannot wait to read the next book I have for this author. She is absolutely amazing at puling you into the story of all the characters not just the two main ones but all the supporting characters as well.

Lauren is such an interesting character she does so much for everyone with no regard for herself even though her life crumbles around her. But that pride is what is killing her and her family. She tears at my heartstrings with how much her family puts her through and she just does whatever they say because they are family and she wants to be closer.

All her friends are amazing and wonderful but definitely dont get where she is coming from poor vs the rich and all.

Chase oh my ….what can I say about him other than yum and ooh lala. He's sexy romantic sweet and has loved her since he was 13. He's reckless, stupid, full of himself but the perfect guy for her and I constantly wanted her to just let him in.

5 stars all the way

REVIEW: Mindcracker By Braden Bell, Brandon Gray

At sixteen, Molly is already the best bloody thought-snatcher in Victorian London, picking people’s minds and selling their secrets.

When her growing talent captures the attention of a brutal criminal, Molly flees. Her escape is unexpectedly aided by a mysterious figure who promises to protect Molly—if she will break into the only unbreakable mind in London: Sir Edward Carlton, lockbox for Her Majesty’s Government.

Desperate to escape, Molly agrees, gaining entry to Sir Edward’s house, mind, and his mysterious, haunting memories. Sneaking into his thoughts each night is easy—at first. But before long, Molly suspects she’s being manipulated and finds herself trapped in a tangled web, unable to tell friends from enemies who blackmail, kidnap, and murder with ease.

Soon, Molly must choose between her life and the lives of those she loves—or use her wits and growing psychic powers to change the rules of a game she barely understands.
I have reviewed for this author before so I was very happy to review for him again.

This book was no suprize in the full of excitement and fun filled story.

This was full of intrigue and mystery I had no clue what was going to happen next in this novel.

The beginning starts a lil slowly but once it gets going you cant put it down.

Molly is this wonderful amazing character that just struggles in life in general and hasn't really had a way to hone her powers or explore them until she gets put into a forced situation with Edward and his cousin who help her hone her skills somewhat.

Edward oh my he is such a droolworthy characters.

I wont add spoilers but I didn't expect at all who her parents were and what would happen between her ad Edward. Such a  surprising page turner this was.

I was in such tears at the end of the book with her St. Teddy and Edward. So emotional and heart wrenching.

4 stars

REVIEW: Relic (The Relic Trilogy:Book 1) By Bronwyn Eley







A fatal job. A deadly jewel. How long will Kaylan survive?

Snatched from her life as a blacksmith, Kaylan Rove is forced to become the Shadow: the personal servant of a ruthless and powerful lord.

But Lord Rennard himself isn’t the threat. It’s the Relic he wears around his neck – a stone that protects his bloodline, but poisons everyone else in its proximity. Kaylan’s life becomes a waking nightmare as the Relic slowly destroys her body and mind.

But just as hope begins to fade, she discovers a rebel plot that might put an end to Rennard’s rule…

If you like dark fantasy, strong heroines, slow-burning tension and plot twists that will leave you reeling, check out Relic, the first book in the addictive YA fantasy series The Relic Trilogy.

This was such an amazing fantasy novel. I have not read one of this quality and magnitude since I was a teenager. I couldn't put this down.


I just love Kaylan strong yet vulnerable, shy yet outspoken, happy but sad. Doing everything for the love of her family. To protect all her brothers and her mother.


The lord of the hunt oh my Markus  yumminess' just love his character and love the two of them together. Such fiery passion and caring between them even though all they do is kiss.


All the mayhem and fantasy of this story along with the magic from the relic mixed with emotions going all over from Kaylan and what she is suffering from dealing with the relic.


The path she follows in this story is amazing. The ending I just never expected it and the things that lead into what the next book will entail. I cannot share spoilers but this is a must read.


5 stars



I've been writing my whole life but it was only in the last few years that it occurred to me that I could do this for a living!

I spend a lot of my time reading (obviously). Fantasy, particularly, is where I live and breath, but I'm up for anything!

I've spent some time in the military, studied Linguistics at university and travelled a lot. I am obsessed with all things medieval, music, my fitness and my dog Ruby.
