Bone Island by Nicole Fiorina–Book Review

Words can not express all that I am feeling after reading Bone Island. I am overcome with emotions. Just like, ‘My beloved black sea’, I am caught between the world of Bone Island/Weeping Hollow and real life.

“Welcome to Weeping Hollow, where monsters called Heathens kill your friends, neighbors, and even children. A town where shadows appear in the middle of the night and murder you while you’re dreaming,”…” This town only lets you be two things: scared or angry,”

This was written so well that I felt like a little voyeur flying between scenes of the city within the pages. Every laugh, cry, the shriek of panic, and insurmountable death was felt at some level. I am left gutted, haunted, and elated.

The story of Stone, Adora, and Stone and Adora as a couple is bittersweet, heartwarming, and full of anguish. Stone sunk me to the bottom of the black sea with the number of trials, tribulations, self-discovery, and heartache that he faced. Stone did me in. He made me fall in love with his imperfectly perfect self.

He didn’t know that it took the love of a special someone to make him feel worthy. Adora is surrounded by family that she loves yet she is drawn to her black sea. The story of these two together is pure heartbreak. For every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction. As strong as their feelings are together, Nicole shows us the cost of them being together. Immensely heart-tugging from one extreme to the other. I absolutely adored these characters, but I secretly can’t wait for what is next.

“She was a bottomless ocean. The water slipping through your fingers. A mystery caught between fantasy and reality. She was loud, fierce, and invisible.”

Nicole Fiorina, you are a modern poet, stitching words together that flow easily off your tongue, and remain haunted within my brain on repeat. Her lyrical writing was so smooth, it was just like melted butter. You truly have a gift and thank you for sharing your heart, soul, and being with us lowly readers.

“Surrender, my darling insanity.
Suffocate, my sweet emotions.
Pretend. Chin high. Be quiet.
Smile, my pretty lips.
Sink, my homicidal thoughts.”

We Will Reign by Rachel Leigh–Review

I went into We Will Reign blind. This book is about Riley, while her best friend’s story was seen in Bastards of Boulder Cove. I didn’t feel that I was missing any parts of the story, by not reading BOBC.

Rachel had me hooked on this secret society read.

We Will Reign is a dark humor read that is packed full of steam, stalking, and a heart-pounding thriller. It is a slow burn, why choose that I can’t wait for the second book.

The Prodigal by Kristy Marie–Review/Now Available

I had incredibly high expectations of Remington based on his appearances in The Potter series. I am happy to report that Kristy Marie not only hit those expectations but SMASHED it!

Her level of genius while writing the banter between Eden and Remington is off the charts! There were so many times that I burst out laughing only to be reeled in with knock you in the chest emotions and situations. I loved Remington before, but now, I want my very own Remington.

“Don’t get me hard, Eve. Brutal honesty just so happens to be my love language.”

With the larger-than-life Rem, his very own heroine needed to be just as large. Eden Da Luca can tame this beast like no other. Part of her very own charm is the interplay within herself from her external voice to her internal voice. This girl gave as good as she got from Remington. These two spoke a language that was all their own!

“Water?…I look like a guy who drinks water to you?”

“They were out of sacrificial blood of children.”

Now I have loved reading Kristy’s books along her writing journey and it’s hard to pick a favorite, but I might just say that this is my favorite book. I loved everything about it from her main characters to the Potters seen in books previous. This masterpiece was the complete cherry on top of a beautiful series.  

Hockey with Benefits by Tijan–Review

Tijan is a one-click author for me. She has this innate ability to write the perfect prose. Her characters, setting, conflict, plots, and themes are always on point. If you are looking for a sports romance with a tragic past, incredible angst, and a (not) friends with benefits, Hockey with Benefits is your book.

I fell in love with both Mara and Cruz. Cruz is the perfect sweetheart with a touch of a-hole thrown in. Mara is a tough chick who will not take any crap from anyone. I loved this tough, hardened, and take-charge side of her. I will admit there were some scenes where I just wanted to tell her to wake up.

Hockey with Benefits is haunting, heartfelt, full of happiness and healing, and of course, hockey. Final thought: reading about Cruz with his sister left me feeling verklempt. So many tears and emotions made me claim him as #1 book boyfriend. 🥹❤️

Hockey with Benefits by Tijan–New Release

Hockey With Benefits by Tijan is now live! 

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. 

She said no feelings and she meant it. 
Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. 
College was her escape, including us. 

I didn’t have time for a girlfriend. 
I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. 

It was all working too… 

Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. 
Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. 
Until I began to want her in ways that weren’t part of the deal. 

Our agreement didn’t just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.
