Review: Cadence

Cadence by D.H. Sidebottom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I think I am slightly still confused…

The first book in the series was about Dante and Star and trust me as much as I found that Dante was a sick man, I sort of liked him, after all this book promised me dark romance and that is exactly what ti gave me.

Some weird dark romance that has me going like “why am I reading this?” in the good way.

But then book two in the series, this one I am currently reviewing takes a different turn completely. A new character is introduced and as much as the author wanted me to love him I almost felt like he was not wanted.

This new character known by the name Cade, is obviously super hot and has a dark side to him too (not as much as Dante) but then he becomes part and parcel of the story so you have no choice but to like him.

With this book, my perception of things changed…

Whereas I liked Dante in book one, here I just found him to be a sick psychotic man, whom I want to never meet.

Whereas star also known as Faye in book one was …I do not even know how to put it in words…

In short the characters they were in book one changed very much. I was not as connected to them as I was in the earlier book.

And the plot twist was okay but again the change of directions from book one had me raising my eyebrows!

And plus that element of dark romance that was there in book one sort of disappeared in this book.

Review: Facade

Facade by D.H. Sidebottom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Holy mother of vegetarianism!

I think I am in love…yes I think but I will know for sure once I am done with this series. You know what forget that. I am in love.

A freaking roller coaster…is what this book was.

Every time I am comfortable with a reality something, a sentence kicks in and I am questioning myself and the whole story. Was she really his fiancée? Was she even named star? Like seriously, a beautiful roller coaster but man, the heights of it drove me insane for a full hour.

And I am not lying. If you get the chance to read this you will feel like this…chance is you will be asking yourself a million question cause you have no idea what the real reality is.

THIS BOOK HAS THE WORST FREAKING CLIFFHANGER IN HISTORY.

I am not going to say anything about it because holy shit, I am still in absolute shock.

Dante…you sick revengeful hot mess bastard, does it make me weird to say I still like you even though you are so messed up? Like really messed up and I just have to read more of you. I need more of you. okay, so I am intrigued by him…

Star, you confused poor soul sucked into the depth of Dante’s revenge…poor you

I am going to go read the next book now but dark romance it promised and dark is what I got.

Thank you, author!

That cliffhanger though!

Onto the next book in the series…

Review: Debt

Debt by Nina G. Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT THIS BOOK IS FIFTY SHADES OF FUCKERY!

Eh?

What the fuck?
Okay…

When I started reading this book I was like what in fuck’s name am I reading? Okay, what was the author thinking about when she was writing this fuckery, eh? and another part of me was just in shock so many times…

Shock of how fucked up this story was

Shocked about the whole situation

And lastly shocked that I loved every bit of this story!

Every single bit. So much so I had to think for a moment I was fucked up too because eh????

There was no part of this story where I was like I do not like it. Uh huh, not me I just I am in love and I do not use that word lightly. 2016 brought this book to me and ain’t I in love?

I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK! It is simply what I can say…

Sil/Tax you are definitely not the man from my dreams but you were a fucking perfect fit for Mia.
You guys were so sweet together in a weirdly way that made me love you so.

I love books like these..a second chance at love and then vengeance and then twisted things too..

It was beautifully written. This is the first time I am reading any Nina books and I am so impressed that I will be heading to get more of her books because everything was that good.

Thank very much Nina for creating characters that are so well put together that even though the book in the beginning hocked me I managed to love it still!

So thank you for that!

And those last few pages where my heart was in different motions…and my breath taken away from me...hoping that he would come back…

You tore my heart into two and mended it right back.

BEST BOOK EVER!!

Review: Twist Me

Twist Me by Anna Zaires
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Kidnapped. Taken to a private island.

I never thought this could happen to me. I never imagined one chance meeting on the eve of my eighteenth birthday could change my life so completely.

Now I belong to him. To Julian. To a man who is as ruthless as he is beautiful—a man whose touch makes me burn. A man whose tenderness I find more devastating than his cruelty.

My captor is an enigma. I don’t know who he is or why he took me. There is a darkness inside him—a darkness that scares me even as it draws me in.

My name is Nora Leston, and this is my story.

REVIEW

Okay so I am really twisted to read this whole book and in the end question myself, ‘where is the dark untraditional romance story I was promised?’ That’s twisted right?

Anyway, honestly this was not my cup of tea not that the whole kidnapping scene is not my kind of thing but rather the writer’s story telling did not captivate me as I wished. Sure I finished the book and read all of it, didn’t jump any scene but there was that little sparkle that didn’t light up for me.

Julian and Nora…what to say?

I did not connect with Julian at all, even the tiniest bit. All I ended up getting was that he was the main hero and we were somehow supposed to like him, maybe… The author should have told more about him through nora’s point of view.

Well Nora, Nora Nora Nora…she was annoying half of the time, okay quarter of the time but I could not put the book down. I wanted to know the outcome so badly and how it would all end.

I don’t get the Stockholm syndrome that Nora seems to be going through, personally I am of the view that she wanted the whole kidnapping scene to happen and she already had her mind set to falling for him.

And yes one more thing to Julian, you do not take a girl’s virginity that way. There was nothing romantic nor erotic about that scene! Just saying

All in all, this book was not that good but if you want to get into the dark romances this could be one for you. It’s a very light dark romance….
