I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, a version of Peter Pan where I didn't hate Peter? Sign me up!

This adaption was an absolute joy to read. I loved Wendy and the interactions with her crew and her terrible parents. I adored the Lost Boys.

I loved the way that Hooke's villainy was framed.

And the Shadow? YES!

This book was a joy to read and I would absolutely recommend it!

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book is three stories by three different authors.

The first two weren't my thing as they featured doormat wives, terrible husband's, and intrusive neighbors.

But the third one was great. It featured a haunted house tour and a reenactment of a murder and the couple involved actually seemed to like each other!

Don't get me wrong the first two weren't badly written, just not my cup of tea!
  
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.


I enjoyed reading this BDSM book. Full of twists with a steady pace, unforgettable characters and the graphic sex scenes were simply "HOT BLOODED." The author's writing style sweeps you up and transports you right into the story line. I will definitely be reading more of Ms. SaFleur's work.

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a wonderful addition to this series that I've already told tons of people about! It's such a refreshing idea, and it just keeps getting better and better throughout the story. I can't wait to read more, and I'm looking forward to new and exciting things from this author!

5 stars =)
  
I received a copy of Crown of Coral and Pearl from Harlequin TEEN (US Canada) through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

In this book beauty is a curse that will get you sent away to marry a stranger.

Nor has been scarred and is out of the beauty running but must take her place.

Wow, the villain in this one is a creeper!

I received a copy of this book from Midnight Ink through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked the characters and the setting. I thought that the B mystery was way more interesting than the main one.

I just didn't care enough about Hank to be invested. I'd be really interested in reading this series as long as Hank wasn't involved!

I'd like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I liked it but to be perfectly honest it meandered a bit and felt like I was reading two completely different books, what with the old-timey coin mystery.

I liked Amy's character a lot and the research bits were fun.
