Book Review: Reckless by Lauren Roberts

 


Reckless by Lauren Roberts
(Book 2 in the Powerless Series)
4 Stars

This book TOOK. ME. OUT. What can I even say when it's book 2 in this series without spoilers?! All I will say it, I absolutely loved where Lauren took this story. If you thought the stakes were high before.....PREPRARE YOURSELVES! Everything is more intense, dangerous and emotionally charged. Reckless picks up right where Powerless left off, throwing you back into a world of power, betrayal and lots of angst. Pacing is really good in this one with our main characters experiencing one thing after the next. 

The plot thickens.....relationships are complex.......and Lauren Roberts just does a great job evolving her characters - Paedyn in particular. She is strong-willed and resourceful....but we do see ab it more of her vulnerabilities here, making you really empathize with her. 

AND YES. IF YOU ARE HERE FOR THE ROMANCE --- WHICH WE ALL AREEEE -- the CHEMISTRY and TENSION is TOP TIER. 

Fans of the slow burn romanceee will LOVE this.

There is a constant thread of survival in this book and I am here for the finale!!

This series is perfect for fans of enemies to lovers romance, high stakes dystopian style fantasy, sharp heroines, found family and complex alliances. 

FULL Spoiler FREE Vlog to come Monday morning 4/14!

*UPDATE: Forgot to add content warnings: There is language, but no F words or the Lord's name in vain that I noticed. Sexual content is kiss/make outs only, no explicit sexual content. Violence with battles/blood/death mentioned.

Book Review: Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass

  Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass - 4 Stars  Book 1 in A Bookmobile Cat Mystery Series This was a fun introduction to a new cozy mystery series with a cute cat sleuth helping along the way! With the help of her rescue cat, Eddie, librarian Minnie Hamilton is driving a bookmobile in the resort town of Chilson, Michigan. Things happen she least expects when Eddie runs off and finds the body of a local man in town..... Minnie is ready to let the police solve the case but Eddie seems to smell a rat! Together they work to find the killer.  This was a really fun one to read while I was recovering from having surgery this last week! :) As a gift from my friend Tammy, I am so glad I read it! (And that I had my kitty Simba right there with me while I read it was a cute bonus!) Eddie is a stubborn kitty and I LOVED THAT! He kept on pushing the limits to help Minnie out. :)  A bookmobile is also a unique thing to find in books that I absolutely loved. I am looking forward to more ...

Book Review: Fearless by Lauren Roberts

Fearless by Lauren Roberts Book 3 in the Powerless Trilogy 3 Stars OK, let’s dive into the review! I have sat with this all day and I think I’m going to land on 3 stars for this one. Books 1 and 2 were solid 4 star reads for me, and while my experience reading book 3 felt like a 4-star moment....mainly because I was in that UNWELL STATUS and absolutely NEEDED to know what was happening....it didn’t quite hold up in the end. You know those "drop everything and read" moments? That was ME! Her writing is great and addictive - but looking at the book itself, it felt a little all over the place. The last 30% especially got kind of random and, at times, just plain ridiculous. I questioned some events going on that made me like...WAITTTT WHAT? HA! That said, I still had a blast with this series. It is definitely one that will stay close to my heart because I adored Kai and Paedyn so much. Love their romance and banter - it's what has made the trilogy for me honestly. Kai really ...
