Eve The Awakening Review.

Eve: The Awakening by Jenna Moreci
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eve the Awakening has a little bit of everything, love, hate, blood, powers, and real emotions. I was entertained throughout and really eager to find out what was going to happen next. The twists were amazing and the writing was dynamic. I can't wait for the next one.

Book Reviews in the 21st Century

There are many reviews I read that say simple things like awful 1 star or fantastic 5 stars. These reviews don't provide any information that I can use. I want to know the emotions a book evoked, if you could put it down, or you had to know what was going to happen next.
Some words that help me determine if a reviewer has sold me.

Surprising
Satisfying
Page Turning
Shocking
Well Thought Out (that one is subjective sometimes) 

Apparently a lot of S's but you get the point. I want to know how a reviewer felt about the story not that there was a typo of page 20 or that the writer owed them money. That last one is exaggerated a bit, but things are in book reviews that just shouldn't be there.



Also when you talk about things you liked and didn't like in a review you give the author some meat to chomp on. They need that feedback, we crave it. When someone says ^^ "This is good," we really want to know what we've done right.

We won't press, but we want to know. I'm going to try to be better at reviews. I want to share knowledge that's useful to those who want to read and those who wrote what I'm reading.

Have a great Friday and thank you for reading my thoughts.

BENDER!! My Review

This goddess of the written word

M. Stratton

LIKE HER ON FACEBOOK

wrote a little novel called BENDER and I'm going to review it.

HERE AFTER THE PICTURES

I am giving Bender *****
here's why

Stormy the protag was likable in a way that annoyed me. Stratton made her so appealing while making her quite naive.
Bender was damaged and her was softened by Stormy a bit but not in a way that made me feel like he lost himself.

THE VILLAINS

The villains in this novel are what earned Stratton that fifth star I usually reserve for books like WOOL that had me lying on my carpet thinking about it for days. The villains were creepy and creative. They weren't typical and they gave me chills with some of their shenanigans. NUTTER is a nutter!! Nice job Stratton, ready for more!!

Looking for a Few Good Reviewers!

Hi everyone! I am looking for people who would like a review copy of His Boss Lady.

I need reviews to be left on Amazon and Goodreads! If you leave it on your blog as well then that's just a bonus for me! 

Emma Michaels gets off on people calling her ma'am and fearing the sound of her four inch heels as she stomps by her employees' offices. The intelligent female worked hard to make partner at Johnson, Franks, and Michaels and will not let anything distract her from work. With her path set firmly toward the future, she has no idea that a young intern is coming to derail her plans. 

Tyler Higgins is proving to be a distraction that creates chaos and anxiety in Emma's world. Will the young and handsome Higgins take the exec to school or has she met her match? 

Tyler Higgins is a shark. The master of everything he touches, he comes from a long line of CEOs and self-starting businessmen. Landing his dream internship was icing on an already well-dressed cake, but shadowing a woman was not what he had in mind. Emma Michaels' attitude about work drives him crazy, and he cannot help but test her every chance he gets. However, not wanting to shadow Emma does not stop Tyler from thinking of the naughty things he could do to the buxom brunette haired beauty. Yes, this is dangerous territory.

Sketchy by Olivia Samms

I was really into getting this book because I saw it on a Goodreads ad and the cover and description sucked me in. You can see my review below. I listened to it on audiobook, but I was totally into it and listened to the whole book in about 3 days. It was unique and interesting. I recommend it for those who like books with a little bit of everything.

Bea's life has been a mess ever since she got kicked out of private school and sent to rehab. Now clean, Bea is starting over at Packard High School, in a city shaken from two assaults on young women. The latest victim, Willa Pressman-the one who survived-doesn't remember a thing. But Bea has a disturbing new "skill": she can see-and then draw-images from other people's minds. And when she looks at Willa, Bea is shocked by what she sketches. Bea might be the only one who knows Willa's secrets-and who can take down the killer before he strikes again.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I listened to it on audible. I was really sucked into the story, and I thought Bea was an interesting character. It is hard to show an addict and cravings accurately. I think it was done well. I enjoyed the story and there were times I really hated Willa and felt sorry for Bea so anytime I feel emotion for the characters I feel like the author has done a great job of sucking me in. I will be picking up the second book and continuing the series.
