Landlocked By C.S. Moore

LandlockedLandlocked by C.S. Moore
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Maribel wasn't an awful character, But I can't say that I really liked her. She annoyed me quite a bit, and she seemed to go along with things a little too easily.

This one dragged for me, so I was bored through most of it unfortunately. I just couldn't get interested in the story, and having a main character that I didn't really like, didn't help.

Overall, Not a read I enjoyed, unfortunately.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I didn't enjoy this one as much as book two, but it was an okay read.

I didn't like Yelena as much as I did in the last one, but she was still a strong and decent character.

There were times where this bored and confused me slightly, but It wasn't a bad read. I just wanted the story to get a move on and be a bit clearer at points.

Overall, An alright read.

Unfortunates By Lillian Graves

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from the author, In exchange for an honest review.)

Actual rating - 2.5

I can't say I liked the main character. She annoyed me quite a bit, as she was rude, always wanted her own way, and was a hypocrite.
I didn't love any of the other characters either, but the only one I disliked more than Vanessa was Marie's dad.

The storyline in this was interesting, but the pacing killed it for me. It felt like I'd been reading the book for days, as the story was really dragged out.

Overall, Not a very enjoyable read for me unfortunately.

I Let You Go By Clare Mackintosh

I Let You GoI Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

I didn't enjoy this one at all unfortunately.

The start of this was sad, and I felt really sorry for the boy's mother. It must be absolutely horrendous to see your child die like that.

I lost interest in this one fairly early on, and unfortunately, the book couldn't get it back. I wanted it to end by the time I got halfway, and when it finally did, I was really relieved.

Overall, Not a read for me.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Actual rating - 3.5

I liked Yelena all the way through this one. She was a really strong character.

The pacing in the first one was what ruined it for me. It could still be rather slow in this one at points, but there was a lot more going on, so it wasn't nowhere near as bad.

Overall, A decent read, which was an improvement on the last book in the series.

Against All Odds (Infinite Love #4) By Kira Adams

Against All Odds (Infinite Love #4)Against All Odds by Kira Adams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was an okay read, but it wasn't my favorite in the series.

Austyn and Avery were okay characters, but I didn't love them. I felt sorry for them both at a point in the story, but I still couldn't warm to them enough to really like them.

This wasn't a bad read, but it took a decent while for something to happen, and I started to lose interest at around 40% because of it.

Overall, Alright read, but took a while to get going.

True Calling (True Calling #1) By Siobhan Davis

True Calling (True Calling #1)True Calling by Siobhan Davis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from the author, In exchange for an honest review.)

Ariana was an okay character, and most of the time I liked her. I could understand why she didn't want to partake in the calling - Having your life choices taken away from you, by being forced to marry someone and having to have at least three kids by them by the time you're twenty-two, Isn't a fun thought.

This book reminded me of a few others, but I found it to be an alright read at first. As the book progressed though, I did start to lose interest, as the pacing was a bit on the slow side for me.

Overall, Not a bad read, but I didn't love it.

Beautifully Broken (Infinite Love #3) By Kira Adams

Beautifully Broken (Infinite Love #3)Beautifully Broken by Kira Adams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was an okay read, but it's my least favorite in the series so far.

I felt really sorry for Jacqueline. Having a a drug addict as a mother, and then being passed around different foster homes like a game of pass the parcel must have been tough.
It took me a while to warm to Lee. The comments he made about Jacqueline not being normal, and talking about her like she would be a huge burden if he dated her because of a mental illness she had annoyed me. As if the poor girl hadn't had enough of that attitude in her life!

This wasn't my favorite read in the series, which I think was mainly due to how long it took me to warm to lee, but it was an alright read.

My Forever (Infinite Love #2) By Kira Adams

My Forever (Infinite Love #2)My Forever by Kira Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one, but it was still a decent read.

I really liked Madalynne in Learning to Live, so I was looking forward to reading this one to see more of her and Parker.
She was still a likable character, and her and Parker's relationship was still cute, but at times, I did find her annoying. I could understand why she was acting the way she was though.

The ending was nice, and i'm glad how everything worked out.

I'm looking forward to book three.

A Determined Mind By Corinne Leigh Donovan

A Determined Mind (Book 2)A Determined Mind by Corinne Leigh Donovan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was about the same as the first.

Josie was an okay character again, although at times I thought she was annoying.

I liked this one about the same as the first. It wasn't a bad read, but it just didn't suck me in. I could put the book down easily, and not think of it at all until I picked it back up again.

Overall, Alright, but not great.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was an alright read, but it didn't suck me in.

Josie was an okay character, and I felt sorry for her for what she was going through. She annoyed me at the start though.

This wasn't an awful read, but I didn't love it. It took a while for things to get going, but when they did, it still didn't suck me in.

I'll probably read the second one to see what happens, but I doubt that it will be any better than this one.

Maybe Someday (Maybe, #1)Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Actual rating - 3.25

The characters in this really annoyed me at points, but I liked them. The situation some of the characters were in was a difficult one, and I felt sorry for the ones that were involved, as whatever way it went it was going to end badly!

I did feel that this was a bit slow, as it took a while for things to get interesting, and it started to drag a bit because of it. If the twist came earlier, I probably would have enjoyed it more.

Overall, Alright read, but took quite a long time to get going.

Our Kind of Love By Shane Morgan

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Reign was an okay character, but I didn't love her.
I had no idea what she seen in Nate, as he was an absolute arse. Micah was better, but it took me a while to warm to him.

There was times where I felt bored while reading this, as the story seemed to be dragged out a lot more than it needed to be. If the pacing had been slightly quicker, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.

Overall, Alright read, but was dragged out a bit too much.

This felt ridiculously long.

I didn't really like any of the characters in this. They weren't awful, but I couldn't warm to them.

I couldn't get interested in this one, and the further into the story I got, the more bored I felt. By the 40% mark, I just wanted it to be over.

Overall, Not an enjoyable read for me.

Nic wasn't an awful character, but she annoyed me quite a lot, and I couldn't warm to her enough to like her.

The storyline in this was alright, but after a bit I just lost interest, and nothing good/exciting enough happened to get it back. By the time I got halfway, I wanted to get the story over with as quick as I could.

Overall, Not an enjoyable read for me unfortunately.

Stung (Struck, #2)Stung by Joss Stirling
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

The characters in this were alright, but I didn't love any of them.

The first book in the series took a while to get going. While this one didn't take quite as long, It still took a fairly long time. By the time it got going, I wasn't very interested in it, and after a few chapters, I lost interest completely.

Overall, Not a series I've enjoyed very much unfortunately.

Love Notes By Shane Morgan, Kira Adams, Naomi Rabinowitz And Breigh Forstner

Love NotesLove Notes by Shane Morgan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Overall rating - 3.5

Pieces of Me By Kira Adams - 4 Stars


I felt really sorry for Peyton at the start. Bullying is a horrible thing to go through, so i could understand why she felt so low. As the book progressed though, so did she. By the end of the book, she was a completely different character!

There was a few things that happened in this that i didn't expect, which was good, as it kept my interest.

I'm looking forward to reading book two, which is from Jace's point of view.

Overall, A decent read.

The Right Song By Shane Morgan - 3.5 Stars

Aurora was an okay character, but it took me a while to warm to her enough to really like her. I really wanted her to get the confidence to sing, and I was glad when she finally did.
Out of the all the guys, I liked Daegan the most, and really wanted Aurora to end up with him.

The pacing in this was fine, although there was points where I wanted a few things to get a move on. I found the majority of the book to be enjoyable though, and I didn't expect the twist regarding one of the boy's family.

Overall, A decent read.

Revenge of a Band Geek Gone Bad By Naomi Rabinowitz - 3 Stars

I felt sorry for Melinda, as being bullied is bad enough, without having your mother making comments about your weight all the time as well. I didn't love her as a character though, and unfortunately, as the book progressed, I liked her less and less. She annoyed me quite a lot.

This started out alright, but I lost interest. I just didn't find any of the pranks very funny, and unfortunately, I found most of the rest quite boring.

Overall, Alright read, but lost interest.

Straight from the Heart By Breigh Forstner - 3 Stars

I felt quite sorry for Bryn at the start, as she was being pressured into living a life she didn't want to live. I could understand why she didn't want to stay at home any longer.

There was a few times where I felt quite bored while reading this, but as the book wasn't all that long, it wasn't too bad thankfully.

This ended on a cliffhanger, which was quite annoying. Want to see what happens in book two now!

Overall, Alright read, but glad it was only short.

Actual rating - 4.25

I liked Ari in the previous books, as she was a strong and brave character. She was exactly the same in this one.

I thought the second book in the series was lacking action, but this one had plenty. There wasn't one time where I felt bored, which was great!

I really liked the epilogue. It was nice to see how things were ten years later.

Overall, A really good ending to the series.

Renegade (Heven and Hell, #4) By Cambria Hebert

Renegade (Heven and Hell, #4)Renegade by Cambria Hebert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a decent end to the series.

I've liked Heven and Sam from the start, and that didn't change in this installment. They're so cute together!
Kimber has annoyed me in the last few books, and she got worse in this one. I really couldn't stand her.

I didn't like this one quite as much as book two and three, but it was still an enjoyable read, which ended the series nicely.

I'll defiantly be reading some of Cambria's other books.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

Actual rating - 2.5

The main character annoyed me at the start. She was spoilt, and I had the feeling that she cared more about her car being repossessed than she did about her dad being missing.
She did get better after a bit, but I still never loved her.

The pacing in this one was slow, and the story felt quite repetitive. I felt really bored by the 40% mark, and the story couldn't get my interest back after that unfortunately.

Overall, Not awful, but not a book for me.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Actual rating - 3.5

This was a decent read.

I felt quite sorry for Emma in this, as the things she had to cope with in her life were really tough.

There was a few points in this where I just wanted them to hurry up and find out what was going on with Allison, as the story began to drag a bit, but I still enjoyed the majority of it.

The ending was good, and I liked seeing how everything turned out 10 years later.

Poison Study (Study, #1)Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read this book years ago, and remember really liking it. I didn't enjoy the reread as much as I thought I would though, unfortunately.

Yelena was a strong character, and for the most part I liked her. There was a couple of times where she annoyed me slightly though.

I knew the pacing in this was slow, but I didn't remember it being as slow as it was. It made things really boring, and I kept on wanting to switch to another book because of it.

Overall, Alright read, but not as good as I remembered.

This was a decent sequel.

I liked Ari again in this one. There was one or two times where I thought "What is she doing?" but other than that, she was a strong, and really brave character.

I wasn't enjoying this one quite as much as I enjoyed the first one at first, but as the book progressed, I liked it about the same.

Looking forward to book three!

Water So DeepWater So Deep by Nichole Giles
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

I liked Emma, and I felt sorry for her because of everything that happened with Tom, and the situation she was in was a hard one.

This started out alright, but after a few chapters it started to drag a bit. After that, It took some time to really get interesting again, By which point, the ending was near.

The ending wasn't a great one, as it was left very open. After going through the whole book wondering what would happen with Emma and James, after she pushed him away so many times, And then getting an ending like that, It really, really annoyed me.

Overall, Alright read, but it didn't get really interesting until near the end, which was followed up by a far from impressive conclusion.
