Becoming Human (Exilon 5 #1) - Eliza Green

*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. This review is also available on Goodreads*

I found it difficult to start this book, but once I was immersed into the world, I found it very difficult to leave! The characters were well developed, and, towards the end, I found that the characters all easily linked with one another, whereas at the beginning I found it difficult to distinguish between all of the POV's as it changed at an impeccable pace.

Overall, I enjoyed it! 4 stars!

Review: Sebastian Falls by Celeste Holloway

*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review*

I've had to force myself to read this, which is unfortunate. I read 65% and just couldn;t finish. I wanted to, I really pushed myself but I just couldn't.

The first... third of the book seems to be telling a horror story, and then from then on, it gets so confusing as it seems to be telling about 5 different stories. This book goes in one direction, starts to get some traction, and then redirects to something else. It seems like there is no definitive plot.

I didn't feel any connection with the characters, at all. I can't put my finger on it, but there was something that wasn't quite right. Meadow (MC) --- I could not connect to her at all. I wanted to, oh so much...but it just was not to be.

Time is running out!

Oh my gosh, I'm a complete idiot. I signed up for so many BR's on Goodreads (most of which I'm not too far behind on, yay!) It's just ridiculous! Now it's half term, which means NO SCHOOL FOR A WEEK but I still have things to do so that means that I won't get much extra reading time, unfortunately.

Even though it's half term, it's jam packed!

Good Intentions ( The Dead Qar Series) by DN Simmons - Book Tour

GOOD INTENTIONS BY D N SIMMONS -  (note) I haven't had a chance to read this yet BUT I will do because I do have a copy. I'll be reading it soon!

Goodreads Summary
SciTech Labs was handsomely commissioned by the United States Military to design a revolutionary serum that would create the ultimate soldier. If successful, the soldier would have an increase in endurance, strength, awareness and overall speed. They would become the true super soldier. That's if everything went according to plan. 
SciTech put its best scientists on the project and gave them a time limit to complete the job or else. With the pressure on and the stakes high, Vincent Masterson and his team put everything they had into the project. Everything was looking hopeful until an experiment went horribly wrong. The scientists mutated their specimen's DNA, turning it into something monstrous. Now, life as we know it will never be the same. 
As it stands, the only thing that can save the human race is one of the two things they should be running from.

Can the human race survive being caught in a bloody war between two vicious predators?



Doesn't this sounds AMAZING?! 

Having read other reviews, I can tell you that this book will not disappoint. I believe it has all the elements a great Urban Fantasy book needs. 

• ZOMBIES
• SCIENCE
• SUSPENSE

I can't wait to read it now! 

I think we should all watch this becaue it's so freaking awesome

So many books, So little time

So... for some reason I decided to sign up for what seems like a billion Buddy Reads on Goodreads for the next couple of weeks. I guess I thought it would be a good idea. :?

I also accepted a few R2R books, which are all overdue, but hey, it's going well.

So lots of reading for me in the coming weeks...

Review: You Are Mine by Janeal Falor

Goodreads Summary

Serena knows a few simple things. She will always be owned by a warlock. She will never have freedom. She will always do what her warlock wishes, regardless of how inane, frivolous, or cruel it is. And if she doesn’t follow the rules, she will be tarnished. Spelled to be bald, inked, and barren for the rest of her life—worth less than the shadow she casts.

Then her ownership is won by a barbarian from another country. With the uncertainty that comes from belonging to a new warlock, Serena questions if being tarnished is really worse than being owned by a barbarian, and tempts fate by breaking the rules. When he looks the other way instead of punishing her, she discovers a new world. The more she ventures into the forbidden, the more she learns of love and a freedom just out of reach. Serena longs for both. But in a society where women are only ever property, hoping for more could be deadly.

First off, I feel I should say that I didn't *actually* finish this book. I made it about halfway, and couldn't force myself to read any more. As a reader of mainly dystopia and post-apocalyptic novels, romance (which this is, really) isn't mostly my thing. IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE, therefore is not 'dystopia'. Yes, there are different societies, but ugh I just...ugh. 

There are overbearing tones of anti-feminism, as the whole book is basically about a woman who is owned by all these people and how they use her for everything...so if you're like me and really hate that sort of stuff, then yeah, I wouldn't read this.

Apart from that, the writing is just fab (good point!) It's good to have a book that has at least one redeeming quality. Ms Falor does well throughout (what I read) to create atmosphere and to evoke emotions in the reader. Fair play Ms Falor, fair play.

Review: Fire Country by David Estes

*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. This is also available on Goodreads*


First off, this book was written in slang, which at first, is disconcerting and hard to get used to. But it works. 

I really wanted to like this book, all the reviews I'd read were really positive, but I didn't really find it that good, to be honest. The plot was well thought out but I just found it difficult to read and get in to.
I had no motivation to finish this book, which was one reason it took me so long to read. I found it hard to judge where the plot was going, which I suppose could be a good thing? 

This was the first novel by David Estes that I've read, but I've not seen anything that has really jumped out at me, at all.
