How to Seduce a Scot by Christy English My rating: 4 of 5 stars I received an ARC of "How to Seduce a Scot" via Netgalley. I haven't been reading historical romance lately, it has be quite some time actually. So when I started reading "How to Seduce a Scot" by Christy English I was rather happy that I decided to dip back into this genre. Catherine needs to find a husband before the season is out. She has one chance at finding a suitable one to help her and her mother and her younger sister. After the death of her father, 5 years previous, money is growing slim, so one season to make a match is all she has. Not having much luck at the start, Catherine finds herself torn between two men. A gentle Englishman who is caring and kind and a handsome Scotsman who makes her feel safe and comfortable yet brings a blush to her face whenever he looks at her. Who does she chose? Does she follow her heart or her honor? I found it to be a delightful and humorous...

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is one of those books that once it is finished all you can think is wow. It leaves you with a tightness in your chest. It makes you think. Makes you realize that you never really know a person, you never truly can understand what things are like what they ate thinking. This is the kind of book that makes you wonder about all the lives you know and interact with those close to you that you think you know them so well, when in fact that have secrets, thoughts, words left unspoken. You know this because you yourself have things you have never said aloud, private thoughts, your hopes, your fears, your dreams who you are and who you show the world depending on the situation. This is the kind of book that is powerful. View all my reviews

Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley My rating: 4 of 5 stars Words? Words? I do not have the words to discribe my thoughts and feelings for this book. Wow just wow. Magonia is unlike anything I have read before, it was like a breath of fresh air ( no pun intended). Magical adventure with pirates and bird people, sadness and despair, love, loyalty and betrayal. Just a wonderful fantastical story that hit me in the heart. View all my reviews

At Water's Edge by S. McPherson: Rating: 4 of 5 stars Every wonder if there was another "you" out there, another world? A world you can travel to by portals. Dezaray and Lexovia look almost exactly a like, yet they are from two different dimensions. They are each others counterparts, one from the world as we know it. The other, Lex is from a magical world filled with dwarves, vampires and other magical creatures. I find that this is the kind of book that you can't speak much about because by doing so it will spoil it for those wishing to read it. I can say however that if you are looking for an exciting magical and action filled book, with a love story to neatly tie it all together, the look no further then "At Water's Edge". But on top of the magic, portals, dimensions and the love story there is a darker side to the story, abuse. I'm only informing you all of this just incase it is something the reader avoids or uncomfortable re...

Xavier: St Griswold College for Abandoned Boys by E.M. Cooper My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was given an e-copy for review. Not everything and everyone are what they seem to be at St. Griswold College for Abandoned Boys. The School it's self is surrounded by a great forest which contain creatures or things that will cause harm to those that venture into it. The teachers themselves are not friendly and appear to be sinister. Once you are sent there you are unable to leave, when you are there long enough your soul won't let you. So why did Xavier's parents bring him? Why did they leave them there? With the help of his friends Gabe and Ethan they hope to escape and find his parents, to find out why the place and people are the way they are. And to hopefully help those children and others who have no way of helping themselves. The only question is, who can you trust? I rather enjoyed this book, it was well written and entertaining. The "first strike" was a l...
