Review: All Night Long (Black Halo #1) – Madelynne Ellis

Review: All Night Long (Black Halo #1) – Madelynne Ellis

*I received a free ARC of All Night Long from Harper Collins via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* All Night Long is a scorching hot read, filled with lots of sex between a hard rock star and one of his fans. There are even some scenes where some of the band-mates kind of join in the fun a little bit. There isn’t all that much going on apart from the hot sex, but that’s quite OK, as I totally got that from the summary. Ginny only wants to let loose for one night, and who better than a guy who’s in a band? He’s totally used to groupies, and won’t be looking for anything more than sex – […]

LGBT April Wrap-up Post

LGBT April Wrap-up Post

LGBT April Wrap-up Post I know I’m a little late with my wrap-up post, and I didn’t manage to read as many LGBT books as I had planned in April. But I’m really happy I was able to participate at all – I even managed to go to a twitter party 😀 LGBT April was hosted by Cayce of Fighting Dreamer and Laura of Laura plus Books. And I applaud both of them for hosting this amazing challenge – awareness is really important. And they have started a new LGBT challenge right off the bat, this one is open until November 30th, so don’t hesitate to link up! My oldest daughter painted the button above for me, I love it! […]

Stacking the Shelves #30 – A little of this, a little of that

Stacking The Shelves #30 – A little of this, a little of that Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

Participating in this blog-hop has also introduced me to more new blogs, and […]

Audiobook Review: Hopeless (Hopeless #1) – Colleen Hoover

Audiobook Review: Hopeless (Hopeless #1) – Colleen Hoover

When I first read Hopeless, I think it became my favorite Colleen Hoover story, because it is so very deep, and so very gritty, and my emotions were all over the place because Sky and her past were unraveling so very slowly. And I adored both Sky and Holder, and I was fond of Six, too, even if she didn’t stay for the whole story. Listening to the audiobook brought all my feelings from Hopeless even more to the surface! I was crying two rivers on the bus one day on my way to Uni, and I would have much rather stayed on the bus all the listening to the story than going to class. Angela Goethals narrates Hopeless beautifully, […]

Review: With All My Soul (Soul Screamers #7) – Rachel Vincent

Review: With All My Soul (Soul Screamers #7) – Rachel Vincent

With All My Soul wraps up the Soul Screamers series pretty neatly, actually almost a little bit too neatly for my taste. I really loved this whole series, but some of the things that happened in With All My Soul just seemed a little like the easy way out when it comes to resolving some problems, and not actually telling enough of the planning to the readers. I’m sure the plan was to sweep us off our feet with Kaylee’s courage and smarts, but I ended up feeling a little bit cheated in the very end. As I said, everything gets neatly wrapped up, and while I get why Kaylee did what she did to save people, I guess I […]

Audiobook Review: Maybe Someday – Colleen Hoover

Audiobook Review: Maybe Someday – Colleen Hoover

Maybe Someday is a book I gave four stars to when I read the ARC just before it was released. I was a little bit hung up with the cheating, thinking of cheating and waffling on both Ridge’s and Sydney’s parts. Especially because I enjoyed Maggie and I felt so bad for her, even if Ridge and Sydney never actually crossed the line and did cheat. However, listening to Maybe Someday, with a male and a female narrator made the experience very different. I was drawn into their conflicting feelings, and the way they were both holding back for fear of hurting Maggie, even as they were hurting themselves. And since each chapter is from either Ridge or Sydney’s point […]

Review: The Undead Pool (The Hollows #12) – Kim Harrison

Review: The Undead Pool (The Hollows #12) – Kim Harrison

The Undead Pool is a great story, in which Rachel has even more magic than usual, and where she might have to stay far away from the demons while she takes care of a huge problem in Cincinnati and The Hollows. It all starts when magic misfires happen throughout Cincinnati, and Rachel happens to be where things go wrong twice in the same day. The Undead Pool starts about three months after the ending of Ever After, so it seems things have been slowing down for her a little bit, but that is not at all the case anymore once this story gets going. Then, it appears that the master vampires aren’t waking up at night, and there’s a lot […]
