“It’s life. It’s the bumps and bruises, the pain and the fear; It’s messy and it’s real and it’s not some perfect little story that can tied up in a bow.” I’m going to be honest with you. I kind of didn’t want to read Watch Over Me by Tara Sivec. I love Tara Sivec. She has become a friend… Read More
The Experiment in Terror Series by Karina Halle is one that I have continually heard AMAZING things about. But alas, I am a wimp. If the word ‘terror’ or ‘horror’ is in something, you won’t catch me watching or reading it. But since so many of you have requested this series order and the first four are currently on sale,… Read More
I can’t wait to see what is in Tara’s head next. Despite being a crazy lunatic, Tara is filled with such good heart and soul that this book will be incredible, I know it. We know she can do funny. We know she can do mystery. We know she can do hot and sexy. This one is different. This New… Read More
As usual, I went into Going Under blind. I didn’t even know the genre, which is a very mature YA/NA. I must point out, right here, that there is a detailed rape scene in this book, so if this is a trigger for you, don’t read it. Otherwise, you really should. It is very hard to write this without giving… Read More

“There’s a place you land, right before you hit rock bottom, a sort of cushion before the blow…..Zeke was that place for me. He was like a rainbow in my black and white movie, a soothing touch against jagged scars”. Holy moly, these dark, fucked up books get me every time. Playing Patience was the completely unputdownable story of 2… Read More

Fall from Grace (Mad World 1) by Christine Zolendz was the sexiest non-sex book I ever read! Whew! As I write this review, I am actually almost done with book 2, Saving Grace. I wasn’t able to stop and review like I usually do, because this book ends in a cliffhanger, and happily, book 2 is out. So I grabbed… Read More
“Sometimes the shit we go through does have a purpose. If we’re truly honest with ourselves, we can use that purpose to change our life for the better, not the worse.” While I loved Katie Ashley’s The Proposition/Proposal Series because it made me happy to read, I love Nets and Lies by Katie Ashley for something else. It was an intense,… Read More
“I didn’t want their tears. I didn’t want them to think of me. I wanted nothing from them. That asshole Mitch Johnson saved my life today.

Fallen Too Far was my first Abbi Glines book. I am familiar with her books, and always meant to read them, but just never got there. Plus, I thought she was YAish New Adult. There was nothing YA about this book besides the main character’s age (19). It was H-O-T! I read this in almost one sitting. I had to… Read More

I saw Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay was on a number of Favorites for 2012 lists, and I grabbed it to read before the end of the year without even looking at the blurb. I began to read and immediately thought, “Shit, I’m not in the mood for another high school aged book, especially after just finishing Hopeless by… Read More
I don’t know where to even begin. Hopeless by Colleen Hoover BLEW.ME.AWAY. Butterflying Amazing. Colleen Hoover’s first two books, Slammed (see my review here) and Point of Retreat (see my review here) were are both in my favorites of 2012, now Hopeless is right up there with them. Silly me though. I started it on December 23. Was I nuts?… Read More
Top New Adult Books My favorite books with college-aged characters (ages 17-23) “New adult” is a relatively new genre of books since the advent of self-publishing. There was young adult, and there was adult, but the grey area in between was difficult to find because publishers didn’t know where to put these books. Now with self publishing, these books are… Read More
Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire is coming out April 16th, 2013. I know many of you think it is a sequel to the amazing Beautiful Disaster (See my old review here), but it isn’t, it’s the story from Travis’s POV. How much is too much to love? Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight… Read More

What if I threw up on the hot British boy DURING SEX?” Funny, sweet, endearing, romantic, charming and entirely too short! Losing It by Cora… Read More
