The Mistress (The Original Sinners Series book four) by Tiffany Reisz

“It was paradise …” She smiled through her tears. “And paradise had a wall around it.”

The Mistress picks up where The Prince left off and once again, I devoured this book and I have no regrets.

I adored the side we saw to Søren in The Mistress. He always seemed untouchable, that very little phased him—a strong dominant man. Yet once Nora is taken and he is helpless, you see a little more of the gentle, vulnerable side and it was truly beautiful to read.

There were so many moments when reading that I was in tears. It is so beautifully written that you feel the emotions Nora is living. Each chapter, each page, each word is art. Pure, beautiful, unapologetic, art. The character development, the plot twists, the way you go from sheer dread to joy in mere minutes.

You understand a little more the relationship between Søren and Kingsley. It’s a complex one, yet one that is beautiful in its own way. I won't spoil the story, but the note Søren leaves Kingsley gave me goosebumps when I read it.

The Original Sinners series will forever have special place in my heart, a place that is reserved for the books I adore. The books I will read over and over again.

I just cannot say enough good things about it. I fully understand that these books are not for everyone, but I also know that those who they are for, absolutely get them and are in awe of the incredible writing in this series.

Phenomenal, once again.

Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it's not faith, right?” It’s not often (probably never for most people) that you find a book that, for a good 75% of the book, you dislike 99% of the characters in it and yet, YOU KEEP READING. It seems utterly ridiculous to even say that about a book that I have given 5 stars to, I get it. But it’s how I felt reading this book and it’s a testament to the absolute artistry that is the writing of this story for me. It’s not my typical read and if any other book was like this, it would be left unfinished. I see no shame in not finishing a book you don’t love. There are too many wonderful books out there to discover, why read something you don’t wholeheartedly adore? And yet … The writing and story telling of these incredibly flawed and complex characters had me unable to put it down—I mean that, I read it in less than 48 hours—I just HAD to know what happened, I was fully invested even though I felt no real conn...

Fueled (book two) by K. Bromberg

Incredible . Colton and Rylee’s story continues in book two of the Driven Series and it goes from strength to strength. There were so many, so many parts in this story that had me actually growling at my kindle. Colton can truly be the most infuriating male in the book world sometimes. But I get it. And so will you. As is always the case with K.Bromberg , you’ll get a heap load of emotions and sexiness but it’s not all the story is. There is a complicated and deep story woven throughout and it’s beautiful to read. There are some utterly heartbreaking moments that left me breathless and with tears streaming down my face, but there were also many, many moments of absolute belly laughing and that’s truly what I need from a book. Everything . There are few books that make me throw my kindle, only to go right back and pick it up, because I just had to know what was going to happen. And then it did … I LOVE this series.

Cor Amare (Luna #2) by Pepper Winters

“Someday...but not today,” There’s no doubt that Pepper has a unique ability to create worlds and characters that you haven’t met before. She writes love with an intensity that burns from the page and sears soul-mates together for eternity and this story is no different. I really wanted to love this duet—I loved the idea of everything being surrounded by water, that the love story span a lifetime and I adored the way in which the story was told. But Cor Amare left me feeling a little like the first one did, that it didn’t quite deliver on what I hoped for. Cor Amare picks up exactly where we left off in Lunamare —Aslan is on the run and Neri is trying to pick up the pieces and keep him safe. The story is a whirlwind for many chapters and then Pepper lulls us into a place of presumed safety … which of course doesn’t last for long. Strangely I found Aslan most likeable when he was apart from Neri and trying to survive his ordeal. I found his strength and sheer determination to fight in...
