LAST DAY OF READER ROUND UP

  Good morning peeps , sadly it is the last day of reader round up for this fall . We are going to go out with a bang with the second book in the Invictus Securities series UNLOCKED by Angela Rush

                          BOOK BLURB

 Shelby

My life is passing me by, but I’m helpless to stop it. I’m undesirable and too broken to change. No one will ever love me, the fat girl. I’ll never be what society deems acceptable and will forever be alone.

Bo

I’m at the prime of my life. I am the king of the one-night stand. I don’t stay the night. I don’t do repeats, and I absolutely don’t do relationships. I never have to fear losing my heart to someone who could break it. Yet, I’m no longer enjoying my life as I’ve lived it.

Shelby Brooks turns my world upside down from the moment I lay eyes on her. I can tell she’s attracted to me, but she does her best to ignore me. Not the reaction I usually get from women. It makes me want her all the more.

When Shelby is taken to be used in a terrorist attack along with my brother’s fiancée, I’ll do whatever it takes to get them back, to get her back. When I do, I’ll make her see just how much she means to me. I’ll admit she’s unlocked my cold heart, but have I unlocked hers, too?

                               MY REVIEW 

 Shelby is Marley's best friend since school. When she is asked to be in Marley's wedding she is excited and kind of scared. Ever since that fateful night in college she has sworn off men. But when she meets Bo at the airport things start of prickly, there is an attraction but both of them have a past that they need to work through. Things are happening so fast as they try and figure out what being in each others lives means and also getting ready for a wedding . Oh yeah they are still trying to figure out why a terrorist group want with Marley. 

    Shelby is a sweet woman with a tragic past . From the abuse she had from her father and then not being the it girl in college. It has left deep scars on her soul and has broken her trust in all men. There are moments that she does come off as a little bit naive and sheltered but underneath that there is a woman that has the strength to get through all the worst in her life to find happiness that she does deserve. Bo is a good ole boy that is hiding the pain of being a pow. He hasn't had a real relationship just a bunch of one night stands and that is the way he prefers it. He is hiding a hurt. He is one of those guys that can come off as bossy but only wants what is good for the ones he loves . 

   This is the second book in the series and we get to dive into Shelby and Bo and understand more of what has happened to both of them. The author did a good job in entwining their story with Luke and Marley's keeping them separate but keeping the story going with the kidnapping and the brotherhood. Just a couple of things that I think were dragging just a little was the over use of sweet girl. I also wished that she would of expanded the Roscoe and Bo always scrapping just a little . Over all I did enjoy this book and I think you would also. I will tell you there are triggers in this book, especially abuse . But if you can put that aside check it out you will not be disappointed.

THE SECOND TO LAST BOOK IN READER ROUND UP

   Good afternoon my peeps, it is coming to and end pretty quickly , I have the second to last book in this years fall round up.  SHADOWING THE PHOENIX by Angel Nyx

                           BOOK BLURB

When the Phoenix is flying, Shadow comes out to play

Ainsley Bishop

I wasn't always a street kid, but when my home life got too dangerous, I chose the streets. They were safer. A whiz with computers, I quickly found my own way into the world of hacking.

That's when they came. STARR. They'd heard about Phoenix and wanted her. But there were a few requirements. I had to leave my old life behind. Fine by me.

A decade later, I have no regrets. I've used my skills, and the ones STARR taught me, to help a lot of people.

When I come across a trafficking ring online, I make it my mission to shut it down. If only Shadow wouldn't get in my way.

Kason Manning

Known only as 5H4D0W online, the moniker fits. I watch and wait in the shadows for the right time to pounce. I'm what we in the hacker world call a Grayhat. My methods aren't always ethical, but they get the job done.

When I stumbled onto a trafficking ring on the dark web, I made the snap decision to infiltrate them and take them down from the inside.

That's when I met her. Known only as PH03N1X, her fiery spirit called to me. But she has secrets she won't share, ones I fear will burn the world down around me. But then, maybe that was what I needed—to rise from the ashes renewed.

                           MY REVIEW 

   Ainsley hasn't always had a great life from the beginning. Her home life became dangerous and living on the street was no better. Until the day she figured out that she was great with computers and hacking. Then STARR came into the picture and wanted her, the only thing that she had to do was leave her old life behind. Which she was willing to do.  Her unique talents help bring down drug rings and human trafficking ring around the world.  One day while hunting through the dark web she meets shadow another hacker and also another company that is bringing down  the traffickers . When they meet things start to spark up but will they be able to bring down the ring and make it out alive. 

  Ainsley and Kason are a hot couple . They both feel like they are outsiders and both have been in not so good relationships and past lives . Ainsley is a strong willed woman who has been through so much in her life . She doesn't want other young women and children to go through the same thing as she did. She is also sassy and free spirited. She has intrigued Kason in so many ways. Kason is an ex sniper who hasn't had the best child hood either and he is working hard to stop what happened to him happen to others . They both are working on the same side when it comes to stopping the enemy. The characters are very well written and you feel for them through out the story.

   This is one of those stories that has some great characters that are well written and complex. The author takes us on an adventure that has us going down a few dark areas of the web.  There is also a lot of romantic shenanigans that go on through out this book. I did wish the author would of dived more into the whole trafficking thing and them bringing them to an end and maybe just a little less of the bed room shenanigans that when on.  Over all I did enjoy this book and if you like suspense and romantic times this book will be great for fall reading list

WINDING DOWN OF READER ROUND UP

  Good afternoon peeps  we are winding down this falls reader round up. This is the second to last book for you BLOOD HYMN  by Beth Hale

                           BOOK BLURB

I came back to Harlowe Parish with my sister's ashes and a stolen gun.

They called it suicide. I call it murder.

The autopsy I paid for doesn't lie: ligature marks, defensive wounds, and sedatives. Delilah was cleansed. Sanctified. Erased like dozens of girls before her.

I have six names. I'm crossing them all off.

Then I find Silas Cain standing over a body in the dark.

He was their monster once. Raised to kill for the family. Until he turned on them and painted the parish red. Now he's back, hunting in the shadows.

We strike a deal: his violence, my vengeance.

                         MY REVIEW

  There is something sinister going on in Harlowe Parish and Evie has come back with her sisters ashes and a vendetta to whoever did this to her . They called it an accident but she knows that it wasn't . Autopsy paper work doesn't lie. She has six names and each of them will be crossed off the list . When she meets Silas who was a monster at one time . He killed for family until the day he turned on them . Now he is back wants violence and Evie wants vengeance together they will survive. 

     Evie wants the truth on what was done to her sister . She is a whirlwind and is like a grim reaper doling out vengeance on those that took her sisters life and the lives of the women before her.  She is a dangerous woman hell bent on righting wrongs . She knows she might die but she is willing to get the truth out there. Silas is well he is a monster but what he is doing is righting the wrongs of his past. He is dark and kind of scary in so many ways. When they meet it is like a tornado coming down on you. Their relationship is dark, messy dangerous and so intense. Such well written characters and very complex 

  This is a Southern Gothic story of basically 2 lost souls looking for vengeance on those that wronged so many people. The author has a such a classic story telling style. The characters are well written and you know that they are evil. This is such a good story that will have you reading well into the night. Will be a good story for your halloween reading list
