A Beastly Scandal by Shereen Vedam

A Beastly ScandalA Beastly Scandal by Shereen Vedam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was given this copy in exchange of an honest review.
Be warned review contains spoilers, you may proceed with caution.

Lady Annabelle Marchant has the ability to sense spirits, she also gets visions of things after they have occurred.

Lady Terrance a widow only 6 months in mourning, has invited Belle, the granddaughter of a dear friend of hers, to her home to help hunt the spirit that is haunting it. Only thing is she isn't permitted to speak of it. No talk of ghosts or spirits are to be allowed.

Lord Terrance (Rufus), or "Lord Terror" as the villagers call him has made her promise not too. The only way she has been allowed to stay as his mothers guest.

Rufus himself is home for a reason to solve his fathers murder and clear his name from being the suspect. He has been given this chance before the case is sent to London.

All the while both Rufus and Belle are falling in love with the other. He keeps on confronting her about her real reasons for being at his home and telling her that she could fine a husband if she would just drop the whole silly notion of being able sense spirits. To which she replies that she has no desire to be with anyone, yet every time they touch, be it in passing or embraced in a kiss sparks rush through her body.

I found this book to be fantastic. The attraction and banter between Belle and Rufus alone is enough to make this book great. But on top of that we have a murder to solve, and a ghost to hunt.

The whole time writing this review I was flopping back and forth 4 or 5, 4 or 5. So in the end I will settle it by going with 4.5 stars.

#bookreview Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier #booktour

  Hello and welcome back, or welcome if you are new to the blog.  Today I have a book review for you. It is my stop for the virtual tour of Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier.  The blurb (From Goodreads) At the far edge of cultivated space, a derelict ship rests. Ten times larger than the biggest Terran dreadnaught, the ship is not recognized by any of the five species tenuously coexisting in the galaxy. Small crews are sent to investigate. What they find is a trap. Once in the metal labyrinth’s clutches, it is clear the unlikely allies will not escape unless they can work together as a team. Unfortunately, trust and cooperation are entirely out of the question. An immersive tale of escape and comradery, Escaping First Contact brings together an unforgettable cast of characters, richly detailed alien cultures, deft humour, and explosive action. "Fantastic world building, believable aliens and lots of snappy action. T.S. Beier is on her way up!"- S.D. Perry, author of Aliens

Skinned by Robin Wasserman My rating: 3 of 5 stars May contain spoilers, cursing and ranting. When something bad happens to you, like an accident as what happened in this book to our main. It doesn't always mean death. If your brain is still working you can be downloaded into a new body. Some people if they have enough credit can have one specialty made if there is enough time for it. But the thing is you are no longer human. You can't bleed, eat, breath. You can feel pain to a degree only with extreme actions. Hot and cold mean nothing. You can feel slightly but it's not the same. You don't need to bathe, brush your teeth or use the bathroom. You're a machine that looks human and mentally you still are the same person but it's never the same. It was going so strong, so good. But then things started to stand out. Little things that annoyed me. Nothing major just certain wordings for example "eating lunch" but how is she exactly doing this??
