Review: Rogue [Talon 02] by Julie Kagawa!

Publication date: 7th May 2015

Paperback edition: 400 pages

Source: Kindle

Rating: 5 stars

Synopsis: Ember Hill left the dragon organization Talon to take her chances with rebel dragon Cobalt and his crew of rogues. But Ember can't forget the sacrifice made for her by the human boy who could have killed her—Garret Xavier Sebastian, a soldier of the dragonslaying Order of St. George, the boy who saved her from a Talon assassin, knowing that by doing so, he'd signed his own death warrant.

Determined to save Garret from execution, Ember must convince Cobalt to help her break into the Order's headquarters. With assassins after them and Ember's own brother helping Talon with the hunt, the rogues find an unexpected ally in Garret and a new perspective on the underground battle between Talon and St. George.

A reckoning is brewing and the secrets hidden by both sides are shocking and deadly. Soon Ember must decide: Should she retreat to fight another day…or start an all-out war?

After finishing the first book in this series, I moved onto this book straightaway! I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next, even though I was a little disappointed with the pace of the first book and that there wasn't a lot of action and suspense in it! I love every minute of reading this book though! The pace of this book was perfect too! I just adored this book! It was continued on perfectly from the first book and there was plenty of romance, action and suspense in it to keep me desperate to read on and find out what was going to happen next! The plot was also amazing! I had a few ideas as to where it could go, and some of the things I thought could happen did happen, but there were some surprises in there too! The plot was also kick-ass and was packed full of action and suspense! I had such a hard time putting it down until I had finished it! There were quite a few twist and turns in the plot too that left me with my mouth hanging open! The characters were again amazing! Ember was again the male female character, and she was so fierce in this book! She had grown so much from the girl she was in the first book and she learned a lot in this book about her dragon world! She was a lot stronger too! I was really impressed with Ember and actually preferred her in this book to the first book! She was also kick-ass and she proved this again and again in this book! I also like that she didn't play the two guys that liked her off against each other! It told me a lot about the kind of person she was! I connected really well with Ember too, and didn't lost that connection once throughout the book! Garrett and Riley/Cobalt were again the main male characters in this book, and the love triangle between the two guys and Ember was back full force in this book! I loved the love triangle and I still haven't picked a side between the guys lol! How can you! Both guys were seriously hot and really protective of Ember! I could also see that they both had strong feelings for Ember! I loved Garrett and Riley/Cobalt in this book! They used to be on opposite sides, but in this book they had to work together, and work together they did! They were just amazing characters and they really impressed me! I'm hoping they're both going to be in the next book! This book was written from Ember, Garrett, Riley/Cobalt, and Ember's brother, Dante's, point of views! I loved all the different point of views! I normally don't like reading books from more than two different point of views, but I loved this book being written from quite a few! It added a lot to the plot! I'm really excited about the next book in this series! I'm just upset I have to wait so long for it lol! It says it won't be released until 2017, so it's going to be a very long wait lol! Again, I love the cover for this book! It suits the book perfectly and also matches the first book's cover brilliantly! I love that the UK publisher kept the same cover to the US cover too! Big thank you to Mira Ink and Maximum Pop! for a copy of Talon for review!

Review: Talon [Talon 01] by Julie Kagawa!

Publication date: 28th October 2014

Paperback edition: 445 pages

Source: Kindle

Rating: 4 stars

Synopsis: Long ago, dragons were hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have become strong and cunning, and they're positioned to take over the world with humans none the wiser.

Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George.

Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon's newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey: and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember's bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the Order has ingrained in him: and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.

I was really excited when I first heard about this book! I mean, dragons?! How cool is that! I've only read one other series about dragons, and I enjoyed that series, so I couldn't wait to see if this book was as good! I then read some early reviews on this book that said it wasn't as good as the reviewers expected, which put me off reading it a little, but I received a copy of this book and the second book from the publisher, so I decided to make them my next read! I'm really glad I did! I enjoyed this book, but I did have a few problems with it as well! I mean, the plot was really slow to start off with and then nothing huge happened in until the last 20%! Things started to gradually happen and secrets started to come out, which made the plot develop more, but I just felt it was all too slow! I like a fast-paced book that has plenty of action and suspense in it! I loved the plot though, and the last 20% of the book had me hooked! The characters were amazing! Ember was the main female character, and she was a dragon! Ember wanted the chance to experience a summer of carefree living before she had to take her place in the dragon world! I could understand this because she was so young! Ember got a whole lot more than she bargained for though! Secrets were revealed that made Ember question everything that she knew about the dragon race! I loved Ember! She was so nice and easy for me to connect with! She was also really brave and she had a rebellious side to her as well! She was just a brilliant character! There was a love triangle in this book, but it didn't actually feel like one to me until quite a bit into the book lol! The love triangle was between Ember, Riley/Cobalt and Garrett! Riley/Cobalt and Garrett were on different teams! Garrett was a soldier for the team fighting to make dragons extinct and Riley was a dragon that had gone rogue, so they were on different sides! I must admit that I loved both guys, and I actually found it hard to pick between them lol! I could see that they both felt something for Ember and that they cared about her! Both guys were also seriously hot too lol, which made it even harder to pick between them lol! I also wasn't expecting this book to written from different point of views, but it was! It was written from Ember, Riley/Cobalt and Garrett's point of views! I loved this! It added a lot to the plot and it was like following three different plots that connected and became one plot! It also helped me connect more with the characters! I can't wait to read the next book in this series! I'm really happy that I don't have to wait for it to release and that I already have a copy of it! The ending of this book was insanely awesome, so I can't wait to see what's going to happen next! The cover for this book suits it perfectly! It's like dragon scales and the book is obviously about dragons lol! I absolutely love it and I'm really happy the UK publisher didn't change it! Big thank you to Mira Ink and Maximum Pop! for a copy of Talon for review!

Release Blitz & Giveaway: Nowhere But Here [Thunder Road 01] by Katie McGarry!

An unforgettable new series from acclaimed author Katie McGarry about taking risks, opening your heart and ending up in a place you never imagined possible.

Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. Sure, she's curious about her biological father—the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent—but that doesn't mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns to an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both.

Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. They're the good guys. They protect people. They're…family. And while Emily—the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club's most respected member—is in town, he's gonna prove it to her. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it's his shot at his dream. What he doesn't count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down.

No one wants them to be together. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home.

How could someone so pure want filth like him?

Damon Comb was no stranger to pain, hunger, loneliness, and abandonment. Being given a family that would die for one another didn’t erase six years of torture. It didn’t take away the nightmares. She did. She was everything someone like him should never be allowed. She was goodness and strength and she made him human.

How could someone so broken complete her?

Willa McClain had it all, a family that adored each other, the love of an entire town and a future she worked her butt off to get. But all she wanted was the boy with the sad blue eyes and the crooked smile. He was her best friend, her protector and the only one who really understood her.

How could a love like theirs be extinguished?

But nothing ever lasted forever. Damon knew better than anyone how quickly the tides could change. Can he keep his past at bay before it consumes the only light in his dark world? Can he finally tell Willa the truth, or will his fears tear them apart forever?

How could love so strong ever fail?

UK Blog Tour: The Happy Ever Afterlife of Rosie Potter (RIP) by Kate Winter!

Publication date: 21st May 2015
Paperback edition: 304 pages
Source: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 stars
Synopsis: Falling in love is never simple. Especially when you're dead.

When Rosie Potter wakes up one morning with what she assumes is the world's worst hangover, the last thing she expects is to discover that she's actually dead. With a frustrating case of amnesia, suspicious circumstances surrounding her untimely demise, and stuck wearing her ugliest flannel PJs, Rosie must figure out not only what happened last night, but why on earth she's still here.

Slowly the mystery unravels, but there are many other secrets buried in the quiet Irish village of Ballycarragh, and nobody is as innocent as they first appear. Aided by the unlikeliest of allies in her investigation, Rosie discovers that life after death isn't all it's cracked up to be, particularly when you might just be falling in love . . .

In this hilarious, life-affirming and romantic journey through Rosie Potter's afterlife, she shares the ghostly tale of how she lived, she died, and she loved (in that order).

I hadn't heard of this book before until the UK publisher emailed me and asked me if I would like to be on the UK Blog Tour for it and review the book! I thought about it for a couple of hours because this book isn't my typical read, but I was intrigued and wanted to step outside my comfort zone, so I said yes! I'm really glad I said yes to reviewing it! This book was so cute and very funny at times! I normally don't laugh at books, but I found myself laughing and smiling whilst reading this one! There was also a bit of suspense to the story! The plot was so good! It also had a mystery aspect to it, which I thought was interesting! I also had a few suspicions as to who the bad guy could be, but my main guess was a little too obvious lol! I did wish that the mystery killer had been different though lol, even though I didn't expect it lol! It's fair to say that the author took me a bit by surprise lol! I really enjoyed the plot and it actually exceeded my expectations! The characters were great! Rosie was the main character, and she gets a bit of a fright when she wakes up one day and is a ghost! Rosie actually handled it really well lol! I mean, I'm not sure exactly how you're supposed to take it, but I expected some screaming lol! Rosie spends this book thinking about her life and trying to find out who killed her! I just loved Rosie! She went through a lot of realisation in this book, and even though it was too late for her, which made me really sad, Rosie was able to realise who was important in her life and who she really loved! It made me really sad that Rosie was to late to realise who she really loved, but in a way she was still with him even after she was gone! Charles was the main love interest of Rosie and he was also the only person who could see her in her ghost form, so he helped her solve the mystery surrounding her death! I loved Charles! He was so straight with Rosie at times and then he was so cute with her too! Charles also helped Rosie a lot and I could see that he had always had feelings for her! He was also always there for Rosie and just completely adored her! He was protective of her too! Well, as protective as he could have been considering she was a ghost lol! Rosie also had a boyfriend, Jack, in this book when she alive and she adored him and thought he was her everything, but Jack was actually a liar and he was hiding a lot from Rosie! I mean, there wasn't a love triangle in this book, which I loved, but I did like the two love interests aspect! I know that this book is a standalone, which I can completely understand as the plot was resolved and all questions were answered, but this book was a very good debut novel and I'm excited to see what this author is going to release next! The ending also made me cry lol! It was so beautiful! I know that this book has two covers! I love the cover for the paperback, which is the cover down below! I think it looks bright and summery and colourful! The ebook cover is a little darker, but it has a bit of a similar deign to the paperback's cover!

Aubrey Duncan understands loss. She knows what rock bottom looks like, and she is determined to crawl back up to the top after the sudden death of her younger sister. She blames herself for her part in the tragedy, convinced that she could have done something, anything, to help her.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Twisted Lies 2 [Dirty Secrets 02] by Sedona Venez!

Excerpt!

The challenge in her eyes filled me with a need I’d never even known I possessed. My hands tightened and unclenched before I caught her by the arm and pressed her against the wall. In one swift move, I pressed my lips against hers. Moving my mouth on hers, I forced her lips open and I plundered inside, one hand tightening on her waist and drawing her even closer. My tongue swept into her mouth while my other hand released her arm, reaching up to wrap itself in her hair, tilting her head back.

Her hands fisting my shirt, she leaned up into me. My mouth devoured and stroked her with a controlled sensuality that made my cock jump to life, straining against my pants to break free. I growled when her mouth widened and she pushed her tongue into my mouth. I groaned, tasting a hint of mint and coffee.

My head spun out of control as she kissed me back with unleashed anger and passion. The ache within my throbbing balls grew. I knew I wouldn’t last much longer until I needed to bury myself inside her cunt.

Sinthia’s breath caught as my hands went around her, pulling her away from the wall and flush against me. My fingers traced over her buttocks. She tried to remain motionless, her ass cheeks tensing in reaction. Blood raced to my cock, stiffening it to near pain as I imagined her voluptuous tight ass clamping down on my cock as I fucked her from behind.

Damn, I burn to have her.

Sinthia Michaels has nearly lost everything. Unwittingly, she’s signed over the majority of her couture fashion line and lost the support of her retailers in one fell swoop. Behind it all is the one man she is undeniably attracted to.

Core McKay, a wealthy and legitimate businessman, is after one thing only—his mother’s murderer. When his intel leads him to a corrupt politician connected to Sinthia, Core will stop at nothing for his own version of justice—even if that means using Sinthia to get what he wants.

Continuing the story of twisted lies and dirty secrets, Core and Sinthia both have an end game, but their feelings for one another could be their undoing.
