Broken Blood by Heather Hildenbrand, review

Holy smokes. This series became like the perfect series! I am definitely having a book hangover right now!


I mean Broken Blood just blew me away. Such an amazing ending. I laughed, i cried, i cried some more. Fell in love. #TeamWes won, and i knew it was meant to be but i do love me some Alex. And i could tell there was something betwen him and Angela when they met. And that's okay. But i still like me some #TeamAlex. Tara came such a long away from Dirty Blood and grew up so much between what? That year-two years? Very strong character. I definitely bought the paperbacks. So worth it. Total *****5 STARS***** the whoel series was epic. Adventure, danger, mystery, passion, friendship, everything you could ask for. It's a YA (Young Adult) paranormal romance series. You k now, teenage agnst and what not. I'm like snap. It's over. It will definitely be apart of my reread collection!






I thought watching my Werewolf boyfriend get arrested for murder was the worst experience of my life. But then I was knocked out and dragged off to a cell of my own by the very people who were supposed to protect me from danger. 

I thought being held prisoner in solitary confinement for weeks on end was the worst experience of my life. But then a visitor came, and I realized I’d been wrong all along. There are worse things than torture and death. Much worse. 

He wants my blood. More than that, he wants to get into my head. To use my bond to control his army, to wipe the world clean of anything with dirty blood. I can’t let that happen, but if I don’t he’ll kill every single person I’ve ever cared about—beginning with my Werewolf pack. 

The prophecy said I would have to make an impossible choice, but I must be doing this wrong—so far every choice I’ve made has only led to more pain and danger and death. Hunters are pitted against Werewolves and I’m alone in my war against Gordon Steppe. I can’t fight him off anymore; all I can do is try to keep him out of the important places. And I’m failing at even that. 

I thought the demons were out there, clearly marked and clinging to the shadows. But they’re not. The monsters are within the ranks of those sworn to protect. The enemy is among us. 


And while i don't have any highlights, every part of this book was my favorite. I didn't put it down! Just total AMAZEBALLS!

L8ers, baby! Happy reading!




Blood Rule by Heather Hildenbrand, review

I'm like. Flabbergasted. I have a bad feeling when I read book 5 I'm going to have a book hangover like bad. I swear if I cry. I'm gonna have issues. Book 4 Blood Rule just totally threw me under the bus. It's got action, deep feels, love, tragedy, you name it. I couldn't put it down. It was a very good read. I read it in like 2 hours which surprises me because I haven't read a full length novel like that since Patti Larsen's HCN's. Great next chapter in Tara's whirlwind life. Stuck between #TeamWes and #TeamAlex   Idk who I want her to be with more. Wes or Alex and it should be Wes but then Lawx is such a strong alpha character on his own. I can't wait to continue to book 5 Broken Blood. I'm so like. Scared shitless to finish this series. I hate reading th least book in a series. Major feels and I haven't even read it yet hut I'm gonna. So gonna. 



Forty-six. 
That’s how many hybrids survived the Hunter attack in the woods after I revived them with an injection of my blood. That’s how many followed me home to Frederick Falls. And that’s how many were now mentally linked to me through a blood bond. 

Two days. Three valium. Fourteen hours of sleep. 
That’s what it took to realize I wasn’t losing my mind as a result of the noise in my own head. 

Sixteen. 
That’s how many days have passed since I almost killed Alex. That’s how many days I’ve sat by his bedside, waiting for him to wake up. To ease the guilt, to understand his betrayal, to remember the exact shade of brown in his eyes. 

Zero. 
That’s my chances of skating by with Gordon Steppe and the Hunter Council. They want me for questioning. I’m afraid what’ll happen if I give them answers.


..::My highlights::..

This just made me laugh. Love the Godfrey women.

Sad scene. I definitely felt like crying right here. Even though I hoped they'd go back. Emotional moment here. 

Very powerful words here. So true. 


I totay live Cam. She's like loyal to a fault. She really is an awesome secondary character. Their friendship is solid.


Like unsaid. Tara is an all in, guts and glory kind of girl. Leads with her heart when she should at least think about the consequences but she does it because she loves her people.


Great read. Go pick it up!! Book 1 is free!!!


Now to book 5! L8ers, baby!



Cold Blood by Heather Hildenbrand, review

Oh. Mama. This series is really sucking me in. I barely get any sleep! I couldn't put it down though. Incredible second installment. Cold Blood had me glued to each page! And I get to meet this woman @ UtopYA in June. That's like oh me gee to the max. If you haven't picked up your copy of this book, get it. If you haven't even started the series, BOOK 1 IS ***FREE*** so get it. I'm not into the YA most of the time but I do like the paranormal aspect. Tara's character is a real in-your-face guts and glory, all in kinda girl that has been shoved into this world of Were's & Hunters and being a hybrid has its own challenges. At the end of book two, you totally see Tara's life change. I know it's for the better. She has some amazing destiny and I can't wait to continue reading!

Blood bond here I come!!




Wood Point Academy is not at all what I expected. 

For one thing, it looks like a cross between military school and Buckingham Palace. Everyone stares, the floors shine so bright you can see your reflection in them from a mile away, and no one smiles. Unless they're kicking your butt in the process. 

At least I've got plenty to take my mind off the fact that my psycho cousin, Miles De'Luca, keeps calling and declaring his love and promising to come for me just as soon as he's destroyed anyone standing in our way. Wes isn't going to like that idea. So between Miles, Wood Point's evil welcoming committee, and the drill sergeant hottie trainer from hell, I just keep asking myself, how did I end up here?

My highlights


I love Edi. She's the grandma you'd wish for even though she can make you crazy. And the whole thing about her Ina hummer? LOVE IT!


I really like Alex's character. Idk who I want to win Tara. I admit, I am on the fence. #TeamWes or #TeamAlex ?!?! Tibia hard to tell. Hopefully book 3, blood bond will help me choose from those two yummy book boyfriends!

Happy reading!!! Peace!

Dirty Blood by Heather Hildenbrand, review

I've been totally reading nothing but paranormal YA. Crazy right? Thought I'd read the Dirty Blood series. Again. I think I've read the first two or three books. That I hated waiting. If you're a reader you know this struggle. Lol. It is so REAL.  So...before inhabit really gotten into this book. Have it a 4 STARS's but now that I have gotten into the whole YA (young adult) paranormal romance/teen whatever it is, I thought I'd reread the series.

I really loved reading this book. Dirty Blood was an awesome read. Once again, I was up all night reading. I could NOT put it down. Excellent read for young adults!


I killed a girl last night. I did it with my bare hands and an old piece of pipe I found lying next to the dumpster. But that’s not the part that got me. The part that scared me, the part I can’t seem to wrap my head around and still has me reeling, was that when she charged me, her body shifted–and then she was a wolf. All snapping teeth and extended claws. But by the time I stood over her lifeless body, she was a girl again. That’s about the time I went into shock. And that was the moment he showed up. 

Now, all I can do is accept the truths that are staring me in the face. One, Werewolves do exist. And two, I was born to kill them. 

**Fans of YA Paranormal, Hunters, Shifters, and Werewolves will love the Dirty Blood series!**

I will say that I'm happy and loving reading this series I will be buying the paperback. Hopefully-maybe miss Higginson sells signed copies!!!

My highlights 


Loved that. And that's how it should be. No man should make a girl feel she should be last. Right on, Tara!! #HighFive


I really just loved that part. Who does have one of those fancy cars huh? Not this gir. Until later!

Happy reading!! Peace!!


Riven by Alivia Anders, review

Okay. That ending? Whoa. Like really? I needs Book 4! Omgee. This series has me sitting at the edge of my seat and swiping my iPhones kindle app pages like a tornado in a trailer park. Omgee. Still #TeamKayden all the way. That last kiss..hell. Each kiss (there's not so many but when there is --oh mama!

The third installment of The Illumine Series. 

Captured, imprisoned, and left to burn. 
You know what they say- where there's smoke there's fire... 

For the last two weeks, Essallie Hanley has been a prisoner, in more ways than one. Held hostage by the Queen, she is forced to endure the mind-numbing pain tearing her body- and soul -apart, killing her with every tick of the clock. It seems all hope is lost, until one chance moment gives Essallie a name, Rinae Decante, the final person needed for the Queen to unveil her master plan to end Essallie. Armed with this name, and with the help of Ari and Kayden, Essallie breaks free from her captivity and launches in a search for this mystery girl. 

But their search doesn't go as smoothly as planned, and the three soon find themselves fighting against an impenetrable course of fate aimed to destroy them all from the inside out. When Essallie falls victim to her altering soul, they all begin to wonder of there's any chance at all to save themselves from the burning effects of their actions. 

Love, lies, and betrayal. 
No one is safe from the undoing of secrets surrounding Essallie.
