Crush (Crave #2) by Tracy Wolff

I really enjoyed Crushed. More than Crave? Yup. Definitely! It was a lot more interesting andengaging.

Blurb:

Everything feels off—especially me. I’ve returned to Katmere Academy, but I’m haunted by fragments of days I have no recollection of living and struggling to understand who, or what, I really am.

Just when I start to feel safe again, Hudson is back with a vengeance. He insists there are secrets I don’t know about, threatening to drive a wedge between Jaxon and me forever. But far worse enemies are at our doorstep.

The Circle is caught in a power play and the Vampire Court is trying to drag me out of my world and into theirs. The only thing Hudson and Jaxon agree on is that leaving Katmere would mean my certain death.

And not only am I fighting for my life, but now everyone else’s is at stake—unless we can defeat an unspeakable evil. All I know is that saving the people I love is going to require sacrifice.

Maybe more than I’m able to give.

The Crave series is best enjoyed in order.

Book Review: 4 Stars

Young Adult books and love triangles… what is the fascination with that exactly? I don’t usually like that but I gotta say the hint of a love triangle on this one was good. Mainly because I am all about bad guys and Hudson was just the perfect mix of bad guy and antihero.

As much as I loved moody broody Jaxon in the first book it was nice to have a little more of the other characters and reading about them. And Hudson was a delight.

Grace has him in her head for the entirety of this book and it was often comical.

The book was a little slow at times. The trials they had to go through to get Hudson out of her head were prolonged a little too much. But, all in all I really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

A Romance Catch Up!

It has been a crazy month and I fell behind badly on my reviews! But here are some highlights for you. Barbarian Lover (Ice Planet Barbarians #3) Ruby Dixon 2.75/5 Although I liked this one it is my least favorite in the series so far. The book was going well until a little over the halfway point when it just doesn't read right. She accepts leaving someone behind too easily and although up to this point the book does a good job at dealing with infertility it all of sudden throws it all out of the window. So good, I will carry on with the series, but not great. A Precious Jewel (Stapleton-Downes #2) Mary Balogh 3/5 This was different, unique. And I like that about it. I have not read any other book quite like it. She is a prostitute; he starts of as just any other client. The story was sweet and interesting . The MC comes across rather clueless at times, but it is somewhat endearing. The romance is believable and they make a very charming couple! The Gunslinger's Guide to

Radiant Sin (Dark olympus) by Katee Robert [arc review]

This is sadly, not going to be a very popular review. I adore Katee Robert. But this one just wasn't for me. It wasn't a terrible book or anything like that, it just left me wanting more and very puzzled. Every one of the books in this series follows a certain trope and/or subplot genre. Neon Gods is very much a Greek Mythology retelling; Electric Idol has the plus size influencer and the sweet bad boy, it is a very modern contemporary romance; Wicked Beauty , and my favorite so far has that hunger games/dystopian vibe. Radiant Sin is a murder mystery. The 'one house'/'one train' style that has always been so popular. Here lies problem number one for me, because I don't like murder mysteries at all. Even on my teen years when I read a lot of mystery it was never those. Problem two- there were way too many characters in that house, and they all got their time on the page making it one very confusing mess. It was very hard to follow at times. I think this

The Book Hater's Book Club by Gretchen Anthony

The Book Hater's Book Club at first appears to be about a struggling bookstore and its imminent sale. Elliot, the co-owner of Over the Rainbow Bookstore, started The Book Hater's Book Club , a newsletter of reading recommendations for the self-proclaimed non-readers of the world, because he believed there was a book out there for everyone. Something I wholeheartedly agree with! For years he and Irma have kept the store going and always had a recommendation in hand. When you finish this book, you will have yet another list of books to read. However, this book is about more than just books and a struggling bookstore. It is also about grief, the price of secrets, and a little more grief. You see, Elliot is gone, and his grief-ridden business partner has agreed to sell the store to developers. Problem is, she didn't tell that to anyone until the deal was almost done. Which is making her daughters ask questions. Why is she selling? Is it grief alone? Is there something else
