Day 9 - Dark and Twisted Today's pick is Destruction by Jennifer Bene. Boy this is everything dark and wrong in all the best ways. I have read stories that perhaps were darker and more twisted, but very often those books felt as though they were written for shock value. As though the dark were … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge
Top 5 on a Saturday
Top 5 Underrated Books/Hidden Gems I found this weeks prompt to be quite thought provoking. As someone who reads indie authors the struggle here isn't thinking of 5 little known books/ authors but rather whittling my list down to only 5!

Day 8 - Second Chance Second Chance is one of my favourite tropes. I could list dozens of books for this one, but I'm going to go with my most recent read that included it, and one that surprised me with just how much I enjoyed it!

Review // Redemption (Fragile Ties #3)
Redemption (Fragile Ties #3) by Jennifer Bene Damn you Ms Bene, you left me on such a floaty and wondrous ending. And I should have known better than to trust that you wanted me to be happy, but no! So I foolishly sallied forth and read the bonus scene. My advice to other readers is DON'T … Continue reading Review // Redemption (Fragile Ties #3)

Day #7 - Saw It Coming I find I often guess plot twists in advance, probably the result of a suspicious and devious mind! However clever authors add enough spin or extra surprises that even if I see the twist coming I still enjoy the book. However some books build up to a surprise that … Continue reading 30 Day Book Challenge

Review // Inheritance (Fragile Ties #2)
Inheritance (Fragile Ties #2) by Jennifer Bene I've just completed a re-read of this, ready for Redemption and loved it just as much. It's so wrong but just feels so very right. The only promise he'd ever break was the one he'd made to leave when she told him to go.That promise they'd broken together. Tonight. But every … Continue reading Review // Inheritance (Fragile Ties #2)

Day #6 - Beaches Living in the UK I automatically relate beaches to the sea. However todays book features a lake beach, something we don't really have in England. Crazy on You by Amelia Wilde has quite a beachy theme running through it. It's on the shorter end of the novel spectrum, but still a … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge #6
Review //\\ Destruction (Fragile Ties #1)
Destruction (Fragile Ties #1) by Jennifer Bene I'm obviously as messed up as Lianne to also fall for DavidI have had Destruction sitting on my kindle, waiting to be read for quite some time. Life, arc reading and buying too many books have meant that I just hadn't gotten around to reading this. However I do know … Continue reading Review //\\ Destruction (Fragile Ties #1)

Day 5 - A First Date I almost panicked at this one, it's been a while since I read the type of book where you get couples going on dates! However it didn't take long to remember what is still one of my favourite contemporary romance books. Underneath it All by Kate Canterbary is the … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge #5
