Glass Hearts by Lisa De Jong

Glass Hearts

I've read a draft of Glass Hearts. Lisa called me her beta in her acknowledgement. But truly, I felt like I didn't really deserve it this time. She got almost no suggestion back from me. Only tons of highlights and a bunch of squeeing!!! :) I had liked everything she wrote. But she wasn't satisfied. She went on and add/fix stuffs anyway. Perfectionist she is. :)

I LOVE Dane Wright in Plastic Hearts. I didn't know it was possible but I LOVE LOVE him even more now in Glass Hearts. Now that we can be in his head and hear what he thinks. He's so alpha, possessive, cute, considerate, and attentive all in one.

"Dane Wright is going to be the death of me. Death from orgasm? Death from swooning? I'm not sure which one will kill me first, but it's bound to happen some day."

Alex has so definitely grown so much from her past mistake/experience.

"I feel hopeless. Dane seems intent on throwing us away over this, but I'm not running. If anyone is going to run this time, it's going to be him. I'm going to run right after him though."

Read Plastic Hearts before you read Glass Hearts. Then you can understand their background. Where they came from and appreciate the story better.

Lisa made my heart pounding at 80%. I had to scream.. "OH HECK NO. SHE DIDN'T!!!!" So... be warned!

I just have to say this book has everything in it. Right amount of angst. Right amount of love. And more about secondary characters. Though not too much. Just enough. And definitely a nice closure for Dane and Alex.

Can't wait to read more about Jade and Tyler. I already have some theory in mind what's going on with them. Oh and Gwen and Reid..... CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

When/If I have time I'm gonna read these....

I'm so overwhelmed by work lately. Work at work. And work at home.
I don't get how work at home moms or housewife moms read.
I can't.
I can't read when kids are around. I couldn't concentrate.
So I have made a resolve to stay away from books.. for a month.
Yeah. One. Whole. Month.
We'll see if that's gonna happen.

Still have Club Shadowlands I started but haven't yet finished.

Still have Glass Hearts I wanna read so badly because I wanna know what changes Lisa made and I wanna leave a review.

Then I have This Man Confessed which surprisingly showed up on my Kindle yesterday. Oh Jesse..... with a surprise visit. How am I going to be able to resist him. But even Jesse... He's gonna have to wait until I'm done with Dane first. I'm sooooo soooo sorry Jesse, forgive me. </3

Then there is Lick: Stage Dive

Gosh... I wish I had more time..........!!!!!

Backstage Pass: Sinners on Tour (The Sinners on Tour) by Olivia Cunning

Backstage Pass

grade A academic pussy.

and a guitarist

and notes written on her torso because he's just inspired while pounding into her???? *****dreamy*****

Brian Master Sinclair is so sweet, so lovable, so open minded, and so talented in bed!

Oliva Cunning must know what she's talking about or I'm too clueless to be against anything in the book. I was so immersed in it I almost google the songs, the artists and the bands mentioned. Though the only source of music in my daily life is from a radio, I do get the passion she's putting in it. And how the characters converse? They seem so real to me.

But hearing the music while having sex? That's a little freakish. But! Since it's Brian... lol... I'm so willing to be biased and see it as cute anyway. Trey and a threesome? That was unnecessary. And the whole Jeremy's confrontation, it felt like a joke. Jeremy was introduced so early on in the book, I kept expecting him to show up. Once he did, it was a disappointment. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to feel there.

Absolutely a good distraction to bring me back from the paranormal world. And now I'm looking forward to read about Sed. He seems so intense and I'd like to find out what's there working behind his handsome face. Seems like book 2 will be a lot of sex and angst. 

Soul Survivor (The Hybrid Chronicles) by Michelle Nicole

Soul Survivor

Fred gifted me this book.
***
Reading/enjoying a book is about your past experience.
What you've read before this book. 

For me, it's bad for this book I've just read another similar one before it.

Hailee is a hybrid, half human, half angel. 

The special one. 

The last. 

The ultimatum. 

The one who has power to either save or destroy the world, the humanity.  

Hailee is THAT special. 

 

In the beginning of the book she reminds me of Bella... the innocent girl, not good with making friends, bad with coordination, trip over air... 

and when she found Alex, 

it was light, 

it was easy, 

it was warm, 

she was falling in love.
 

Then Darkness was involved, 

and the feeling shifted. 

The whole plot reminded me of Extinguish by JM. Darhower. 

With the girl having to choose the Light and save the world 

or choose Darkness and end it. 

And of course both Light and Darkness are so handsome and  in love with her.

And yup, sure enough... 

the bitch always choose the bad guy. 

Lol.

The book itself could do good if the author pays a little more attention to the continuation when scene changes. And not so much as repeating how handsome Alex is. Or the seventh, the ultimatum, when Hailee's true identity was mentioned. I felt like if there was a test at the end of the book, these must be one of the answers. ;)
 

Flesh by Kylie Scot

Flesh

an action/zombies/hot sex roll in one... uh no... more like roll in three?

Ali was a girl who survived the "infection" and stayed in her rabbit hole until she was out of food, went out, and ran into Dan who fell in love at first sight with her when he's 41 and divorced.

Then Finn found them and tagged along. And by all miracles or Al's beauty or her personality, he also fell for her. Finn's handsome and lethal. Perfectly what they need against all their enemies.

The author tries to give you logic and reasons behind every actions in the book. If you can overlook the instant horny despite all danger, the instant attraction, you will get to enjoy all three mentioned above, action, zombie, hot sex, oh and some witty remarks in between.

From my experience with the latest Hollywood romantic zombie, Warm Bodies, I was expecting her to end up with the zombie.. so when all these men showed up at the beginning I was surprised and keep waiting for "something" to happen or a certain "someone" to show up. But after about 30% and I realized that's not gonna happen, I switch my gear, accept the book, and got to enjoy it. Stayed up till 3 to finish. But to be honest, I skimmed and skipped a few lines/paragraph here and there.
