BOOK REVIEW: "Cupid's Match"

This was such a fun and light read! Cupid himself has been love matched, but it turns out that's forbidden. 

The story kept me hooked and I finished it in 2 days.  The Greek mythology in this book is fast and loose, but it's a fun interpretation.

Although I have a few lingering questions, I still really enjoyed this fun story.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Releasing October 1, 2019

Thanks to Net Galley and Wattpad for a copy of this ARC in exchange for my review.

Slightly Spoilery Questions: 

(How did the forbidden match get set in motion? Why was Cal angry like ALL the time? Why did Lila like Charlie so much? Why/how did Cupid have a mansion in the middle of a nowhere town he had just moved to?)

BOOK REVIEW: "These Wicked Waters"

I really enjoyed this book and the unique way sirens are interwoven in the story.

It took me a bit to get into the story and get past the MC Annie's spoiled rich girl vibe (she's being "punished" by having to spending the summer in a resplendant villa on a tropical island owned by her mother and is angry that she couldn't rock climb in Greece by herself <eye roll> ). 

Beyond that, the parallel story of Annie and the sirens was intriguing and was very well done. I did feel like the whole "I've seen sirens but no one believes me" went on a little too long, but it was eventually resolved...somewhat.

The story moved along nicely and was entertaining; I read this book in one day. If you want a light, YA read, with a little splash of sirens, pick this one up when it releases in October!

BOOK REVIEW: "Boss Up!"

If you want to start a business, this is the book for you! Lindsay takes your hand and walks you through each step of getting your business started, from building the basic foundation to how to decide what companies to partner with.

The best part for me were the step-by-step exercises she has you complete to really make sure the lessons sink in and are relevant to you and your unique ideas. Absolutely brilliant.

I've read a few "start your own business" books, and this one is the most-helpful from a practical standpoint. I'll definitely refer back to it when I begin my own venture later this year!

BOOK REVIEW: "The Bone Ships"

The premise of this book was interesting (hello sea dragon!) and the world is quite a bit different from the ones in which we find the usual sea-farers. I actually didn't like the world much (see "corpselights"), but neither did one of the MCs, so that just means the world was well-built.

The story starts with plenty of action, but not much of the plot is revealed until about 1/4 through the book, so I felt a little lost until then. And there are unfamiliar ship-related terms that took a bit to get used to.

But after that point, the story itself sailed along pretty predictably, full of crew-building, ship-fixing, and battles at sea, and kept my attention. 

I did feel myself skimming over the in-depth descriptions of the mechanics of the battles, like pages devoted to how to shoot one of the ship's bows.

All in all, an entertaining story in a unique 

world. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book will be published Sept 24! Thanks to Orbit and Net Galley for an ARC in exchange for my review.

BOOK REVIEW: “Th1rt3en”

This story was such a unique angle to the usual serial killer thriller fare! It took a little while to lay the foundation and really get going, but once it did, the hits just kept coming!

The action and the court scenes were twisty and clever and kept me hooked all the way through the 2nd half of the book and I could not put it down!  

I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Although I found out this book is part of a series, this was the first one I read, and it was just fine as a stand-alone. Definitely recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This one comes out tomorrow, August 13!

I received a free ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
