The 100 and Day 21 by Kass Morgen

Image
I was provided a review copy by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review I have picked these books up due to the TV show that started and was super excited about the whole plot and couldn't wait to get my hands on the book.  As usual, TV show and book aren't the same thing, but I wasn't disappointed at all. I loved the story of the book a whole lot as well! The whole idea of living in space because Earth is unhabitable was new and definitely refreshing. Kass Morgan's characters are highly likable, simply because each of them has their own demons to face, their own fights to fight.  From Clarke to Bellamy to Octavia, every one of them has their unique style. That's not to say that I love all of them, but each character brings something different to the table that you cannot wait to explore. For most of them we don't really know right away what the issues are, and this makes it even more exciting.  Kass Morgan's style of writing al...

Bad Romeo - Leisa Rayven

Image
I was provided a copy from Netgalley for an honest review Synopsis: " When Cassie Taylor met Ethan Holt at acting school, sparks flew. She was the good girl actress. He was the bad boy about campus. But one fated casting choice for Romeo and Juliet changed it all. Like the characters they were playing, Cassie and Ethan's romance seemed destined. Until he broke her heart and betrayed her trust. Now the A-list heartthrob is back in her life and turning her world around. One touch at a time.   Cast as romantic leads once again, they're forced to confront raw memories of the heartbreaking lows and pulse-pounding highs of their secret college affair. But they'll also discover that people who rub each other the wrong way often make the best sparks." This story was wonderful, seriously. Cassie and Ethan...oh boy... So first things first: This book is told in two different times, meaning we get to see how Cassie and Ethan fell in love, but also how th...

Heart of Dread: Frozen - a new series by Melissa de la Cruz and Michael Johnston

Image
Synopsis: " Welcome to New Vegas, a city once covered in bling, now blanketed in ice. Like much of the destroyed planet, the place knows only one temperature - freezing. But some things never change. The diamond in the ice desert is still a 24-hour hedonistic playground and nothing keeps the crowds away from the casino floors, never mind the rumors about sinister sorcery in its shadows. At the heart of this city is Natasha Kestal, a young blackjack dealer looking for a way out. Like many, she's heard of a mythical land simply called "the Blue." They say it's a paradise, where the sun still shines and the waters are turquoise. More importantly, it's a place where Nat won't be persecuted, even if her darkest secret comes to light. But passage to the Blue is treacherous, if not impossible, and her only shot is to bet on a ragtag crew of mercenaries led by a cocky runner named Ryan Wesson there. Danger and deceit await on every corner, even as Nat...
