Made for You By Melissa Marr

Made for YouMade for You by Melissa Marr
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

Eva was an okay character, but I didn't love her.

This wasn't a bad read, but the pacing killed it for me. There was a few parts that I enjoyed, and I liked the chapters from the killers point of view, but because of how slow the pacing was, everything dragged.

The ending was the best bit for me. It was pretty good, and the pacing wasn't quite so slow at that point, which was a relief!

Overall, Okay read, but felt really long.

Entice (Prowl Trilogy, #2) By Amber Garza

Entice (Prowl Trilogy, #2)Entice by Amber Garza
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Actual rating - 2.5

The characters in this weren't great. They all annoyed me at one point or another.

I didn't like the first one all that much, but this one was worse unfortunately. It couldn't keep my interest, and the majority of the book was dull.

I'm hoping book three will be better.

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

Actual rating - 2.5

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

This one couldn't keep my interest unfortunately. I had to keep taking breaks as the story really dragged in areas, and I found it hard to find the motivation to pick it back up. It felt really really long, and I was relieved when I got to the end.

Overall, Not a very enjoyable read for me unfortunately.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

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

Ember wasn't an awful character, but I didn't love her. She could be quite annoying at times.
I couldn't get along with Caden at all. I found him extremely annoying! Needless to say, he was the reason I didn't like the romance side of the story.

Just like the first book, the first few chapters were okay, but after that it went downhill quickly. Before I had even got to the halfway mark, I wanted it to be over.

Overall, Not a read I enjoyed.
I won't be reading book three.

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

Anastasia wasn't an awful character, but I can't say I liked her. She was rude most of the time, and while I did feel sorry for her at points, it wasn't enough to win me round.

I found the pacing in this to be a bit slow, and at points the story really dragged for me. There was a few parts that were okay though, so it wasn't too bad.

Overall, An okay paranormal read.

Mackenzie was an okay character, but she could be quite annoying at times.

This wasn't a bad read, but I did feel bored quite a few times while reading it. It just couldn't keep my interest all that well, and it dragged at times because of it.

Overall, Okay read, but I hope the next book is better.

The characters in this were okay, but I couldn't warm to them enough to love them.

This wasn't a bad read, but there was a few times where I felt bored, as the story dragged quite badly in areas. Apart from that though, it was an okay read.

Overall, An okay Sci-fi/Apocalyptic read.

The Boy Next Door By Katie Van Ark

The Boy Next DoorThe Boy Next Door by Katie Van Ark
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

Maddy and Gabe weren't bad characters, but they did irritate me quite a lot.

I found this one quite boring unfortunately. It was mainly about Maddy and Gabe going from skating partners and best friends to being in a romantic relationship, and after a while of "will they, won't they?" and them arguing over it, it got frustrating and boring.

Overall, Not a bad read, but not really an enjoyable one for me unfortunately.

Choosing You (Jade, #1)Choosing You by Allie Everhart
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Actual rating - 2.5

I didn't get on with the main character at all. She was rude.

I felt bored for most of this unfortunately. Not much was happening and none of the characters were likable enough to save it.
When the story did get a little bit more interesting, it ended! Really annoying.

This was another decent read, which I liked about the same as the second book.

I haven't loved any of the characters in this series, but they have got better with each installment.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

I really liked the main characters again this one. Ellie and Stacey are both brave, and they work really well together.

There wasn't quite as many creepy moments in this one as there has been in the previous books, but there was a still a decent few. The case was interesting enough that it didn't need loads anyway, so it wasn't an issue.

This series hasn't disappointed so far, and I'm now looking forward to book five!

I liked the characters a bit more in this installment, but they still had their annoying moments.

I enjoyed this one slightly more than book one, as there wasn't as many times where I felt bored, or didn't find the action interesting.

Overall, A decent read.

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

This started off okay, but it quickly went downhill for me unfortunately.
At times it confused me, most of the time I found it weird, and for the majority of it, I was bored. I just wanted to hurry up and finish it, but it felt like it would never end.

I wasn't a fan of the ending either.

From a Distant Star By Karen McQuestion

From a Distant StarFrom a Distant Star by Karen McQuestion
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

I felt really sorry for Emma in this at points. Having a loved one going through a terminal illness, and seeing them get worse every day would be awful. It would be made even worse if you were pushed out, and told that you couldn't see them anymore as you were getting in the way. I really did feel for her.

This wasn't a bad read, but as the pacing was so slow, it dragged quite a bit. The story definately would have been a lot more enjoyable for me if the pacing was a bit quicker.

Overall, Slow, but an okay read.

Everything, Everything By Nicola Yoon

Everything, EverythingEverything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

I felt so sorry for Madeline in this. Being confined in one place all your life, and not being able to experience things outside of your bubble would be really hard to deal with.
I could understand why she would want to break free of that life, but it was really reckless of her to act on it, as it could have killed her.

This really dragged in places for me, and at times I found it very hard to find the motivation to keep reading. The bits where Madeline and Olly talked over email/Instant message were definately the worst parts for me, as I didn't find their conversations interesting at all.

There was a twist, which I wasn't expecting, but it couldn't save the story for me unfortunately.

Overall, Not awful, but I'm not a fan.

Actual rating - 2.5

I didn't love any of the characters in this, but they were okay.
I didn't love the romance either, and at times, I found the relationships and their problems irritating.

This started out to be quite jumpy, and I found it rather dull. The jumpiness wasn't quite so bad as the story progressed, but unfortunately, my boredom got worse.

I liked Ashley, and I felt really sorry for her. It's awful to lose someone close to you.
I really wasn't a fan of Colt, but Jordan was completely different, and I really liked him.

I didn't have high hopes for this after reading The Truth About Faking, but I was pleasantly surprised, as it was much better!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

I felt quite sorry for Charlotte at points. It's horrible to be bullied at school for your weight, and it's even worse when your family doesn't seem to understand.
Miles was an okay character too, but her other best friend Lani annoyed me quite often.

This wasn't a bad read, but I didn't enjoy it all that much. There wasn't much going on, and the romance build up was really slow, so I found it to be pretty dull at times.

Overall, Slow, but not a bad read.

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

Actual rating - 3.5

Hilary was an okay character, and at times I felt quite sorry for her.
I didn't love any of the other characters for most of the story, but one character grew on me near the end.

The mystery in this could be a bit slow at times, but it still held my interest, as I really wanted to know who was behind it!
The romance side of the story didn't make much of an appearance until near the end, but I quite liked it.

This ended on a cliffhanger, so I'll definately be reading the second book when it's released to find out what happens next!

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

Actual rating - 2.5

I didn't like any of the characters in this. The girls at the start were absolutely vile, and the two main characters didn't win me over either.

I was expecting the first chapter of this to be quite disgusting, as it was mentioned in the blurb, but I didn't expect it to be like it was. I can not believe what those girls did - They were disgusting!

The rest of the story was just weird, and boring. I couldn't get interested in the story at all, and I was disgusted at the events many times! I just couldn't wait for the book to be over.

Overall, Not an enjoyable read for me.

Caden was an okay character, and I felt quite sorry for her at the start. I did wonder what she was thinking at times though!

I didn't really like the romance in this, as the whole "two personalities" thing made it really really weird, especially as one of the personalities was so child-like.

This wasn't a bad read, but I did feel bored in places, as the pacing was a bit too slow for me. I also found it to be a bit too weird for my liking at points, so this wasn't more than a three star read for me.
