The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 12, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumours in her lungs... for now.

Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too; post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault.

Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind."

WOW..... What a book!

The first half of this book was so funny, that at times I found myself crying with laughter. Then about halfway through the tears became heartbroken, sad tears. This is a beautiful and moving story. I have recently lost someone very close to me to cancer and I think Hazel's story helped me with the anger towards cancer in regards to that loss.

I loved it so much so I could not put it down, I finished it in one sitting. It was so worth the headache from all the crying it left me with.

Defying the Sheikh by Michelle Hughes

Defying the Sheikh by Michelle Hughes

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

"Michaela Rosewood had spent her entire life fighting against the society that demanded she conform to the rigid standards for a lady of breeding. One fateful meeting with a Sheikh would alter her future forever.

His gorgeous face would not sway her from the disgust she felt on his country's horrible treatment of women. When her own defiance pulls them into a marriage bond, she vows to make his life a living hell.

The passion soars when two conflicting views of life are thrown together and tempers abound. Who will be the victor when desire and rage combine into one explosive love affair that has them both demanding to be in control? 

Can love be born when her only happiness is found in defying the Sheikh?"

This is the first time I have read any of Michelle Hughes work and I loved it. I struggled right along side Michaela, Undecided on whether desire or disgust towards The Sheikh should win, to be honest I am still undecided. I found myself feeling like I was in her shoes, Armon's way of life is so very different to the one I was brought up in that I found myself distraught at times over the things Michaela had to face. There were many hot and steamy scenes in this novella, you may find yourself left needing a cold shower after you have finished reading it.

I am looking forward to reading more by this author.

Whisper a Scream: Noche Files I by Pete Turner

Whisper a Scream: Noche Files I by Pete Turner

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars.

"I know evil exists, I met it face to face Solomon Noche is a therapist in the seemingly normal small town of Retselville, Kentucky dealing with displaced anger toward God after his family dies tragically. Nightmares encapsulate him where an ancient demonic cult sacrifices children in Retselville. Despite Sol’s protest, God chooses him to stop them. This discovery thrusts him into a journey where reality and psychosis blur as a nightmarish figure torments him with riddles and time-traveling horrors."

Whisper a Scream is full of twists and turns. It has everything you would want in a book mystery, suspense, lots of thrills and spine tingling chills. I really enjoyed this book, It kept me guessing right through to the last page. Well Done Mr Turner.

Rejection by Stu Loudon

Rejection by Stu Loudon

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Synopsis:   
A once beloved son.
Estranged,
Rejected.
Cursed.

How far will he go to wreak revenge on his father, and those in his father's new family?

REJECTION is a chilling examination of the power and effects of love,,,of rejection...of bitterness.

I have read three of Stu Loudon's short stories now and I must say I love his writing style, it's dark and chilling and he has an unbelievable ability of making you feel his words. I can't say much without spoiling it for you so all I am going to say is Mr Loudon is very very sneaky. Go buy it and you will know what I mean. You won't regret it.

Thirst by Stu Loudon

Thirst by Stu Loudon

My rating: 5 

This short story is about a vampire whose THIRST for blood is never sated.

Stu Loudon has a way with words, it's almost like poetry. I felt every word I read, I was left looking at life in a totally different way long after turning that last page.

I highly recommend this book and anything else written by this author.

This ebook is available on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble go buy your copies today and ENJOY.

Balthazar By Claudia Gray

Balthazar by Claudia Gray

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Balthazar drops in on Skye a former Evernight student, a human student to find her being stalked by vampire's and not just any tribe of vampire's, Redgrave's tribe, Redgrave is the vampire that sired Balthazar. Will Balthazar be able to protect Skye and take out his revenge on Redgrave? Read it to find out!

A brilliant spin-off to the Evernight Series. We get to see some of the fab characters again. I loved getting to see into Balthazar's past. I hope she does more like this maybe one based around Vic and Ranulf.

You will never guess who says this- "I love Justin Bieber."  ;)

Loose Rabbits of the Rabbit Trilogy by Ellen C. Maze

Loose Rabbits of the Rabbit Trilogy by Ellen C. Maze

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a little gem for all "Rabbit Chasers".



Loose Rabbits of the Rabbit Trilogy, is a book of 20 short stories that wrap up little loose ends and questions you might be left with after reading Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider and Rabbit Legacy like, what happened to Michael and Beth after the Last Assembly? There are stories about some of my other favourite Rakum too, like Javier, David Walker, Jesse Cherrie and Canaan.

Although these are shorts they are written just as wonderfully as anything Ellen C. Maze writes.

Whenever I finish one of Ellen's books I always feel like I've been on a wild ride.
