Book Review: That One Time

Image
  Darius It takes some people most of their lives to find the other half of their soul. The one person who gets them. I found mine when I was eight and a new family moved into the house next door. The pretty blonde with the pouty lips and the glittery eyes that held a darkness underneath ʼem. A preacher’s kid. Well-mannered. Respectable. Everything I was supposed to be and wasn’t. ʼCause of the secrets I was hiding. The biggest secret of them all? The other half of my soul was a… boy. As the years passed, that boy changed. He became less well-mannered, less respectable—his old man would say. Certainly less straight. He also became his own person. He didn’t care so much what people thought about him, except for me. He still looked at me like I hung the moon until I ruined it. That one time he showed me what things could be like between us and I pushed him away… Alvin I never had a problem figuring out who I was. The church did. My daddy sure as hell did. But me? I knew the moment th...

Book Reviews: Maestro, Diabolic, and Lurid

Image
  They call him Maestro—the man in a mask who conducts terror into symphony, savoring every note. By the time you set foot inside his Haunted House, you already belong to him. The maze was never built for escape. Somewhere within its shadows, he hunts for the crescendo... for the one scream he refuses to silence. Lexi's never been a fan of Halloween. Horror movies, cheesy scares, all things spooky—she wants no part of it. She most certainly hates everything about the traveling carnival her bestie dragged her to. Then the jester finds her in the crowd. He's charming. He's gorgeous. He's the last person she should trust. But when he offers exclusive Haunted House entry, her friends decide for her. Soon they realize the animatronics are real, the blood on the floor is fresh, and the chainsaw is not a prop. And yet, Lexi learns that surviving the maze of horrors is a fate worse than death. This carnival has no intention of letting her go. The monsters say she belongs to the...

Audiobook Review: Come for Me

Image
  Alaina He’s waited a long time for me, but I’ve waited longer for the truth. Not even the king himself could keep me from the only ties left to my identity. Then I meet him, and I’m stuck between uncovering who I am and discovering who I’m meant to be. Dax After seven years I finally found her, my true mate’s timing couldn’t have been more perfect. With the rogue and vampire attacks increasing in vigor, my kingdom needed a strong leader now more than ever. They needed us. Only together, did we have a chance. But she’s fighting her destiny, fighting me. It’s only a matter of time before my enemies plaguing my kingdom would see this and try to take what’s mine. My Review This book picks up right after the cliffhanger ending of book one. In this book, the storyline becomes more prominent as the world building and the introductions are done in the book one. We see a lot of character growth with Alaina. She is not the same as she was when readers were first introduced to her. Dax and ...

Book Review: Skater Boy

Image
  What to Expect: Childhood celeb crush Bad boy Star crossed Stalking Second chance Skater girl Found family A little bit of masked mmc  I lost my virginity to a masked man and swore off dating for good.⁠
 Everyone in my small town knows about Patchwork House, just like everyone knows I'm the only girl they ever let inside. No one knows that one boy was willing to take a chance on me.
 A boy who then vanished without ever letting me see his face.
 Now, I’ve come home to find my celebrity crush sleeping in the room next door. The best skater in the world. Someone whose shirtless posters I had on my wall is saying things like “you belong to me” and “it’s always been you.” I only know him from magazines.
 So why does he look at me like I'm already his? My Review Tweetie is used to having to prove herself. All she wanted to do is to skateboard. While all the other boys made fun of her and told her she was not welcome at the skate park; there was one that helped her learn how to sk...
