Another book that's been on my kindle since 2013.

Um...i don't know how to put my feelings into words about this one. The beginning bit was hard to read. I think this is the first book where domestic abuse has been described and happened in detail for me and I didn't enjoy reading it. Mia had such a shitty life at the start.

I liked Jordan a lot. He's the kind of guy I like my girls to get with in romances. Looks like a bad arse but is really a great guy once you get to know him.

Another thing I liked was that it wasn't set in a school/college environment like most other new adult books but at the same time, I kinda missed that element of football games, meeting after classes, sorority/fraternity parties... Yeah, I'm hard to please where NA books are concerned simply because I've read so many.

P.S. I love Dozer!

The Bear is one of the most amazing books that I have read all year. It’s not a typical book for me to pick up off the shelf. It came as one of three books in a monthly subscription purchased for my birthday... but enough about me!

I don’t want to spoil the book for anyone that chooses to read it. But, what I will say is...

“Narrated” by the young Anna, you get to read the absolutely terrifying journey of Anna and her baby brother through the wilderness. This book sent me on a rollercoaster of emotions. It’s a haunting tale, littered with moments that will have you holding your breath, and then breaking the heaviness with a little laugh out loud moment.

This book has stuck with me since finishing it Monday, and I still want to climb between the pages and hug the children! This book is really well written, and captivating from start to finish. I really struggled to put it down.

I love the Witcher series having read the books and played the games. It was interesting the way they had the time jumps, but I can see how that would be confusing for people new to the series. It was really well done and they got it right with Henry Cavill because he got Geralt's mannerisms and voice down perfectly. I know people have commented about that low monotone voice, but the thing is that is how Geralt talks in the games and the books. Witchers are basically mutants and one of the things that changes is how they show emotions, they can't emote very well in their face and voice. Henry Cavill got that right. I feel what they did with Fringilla's character is a little odd, but I get why they did it that way and Yennefer's story arc was very interesting. I hope to see more of her in season 2. Overall, very well done.

I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review.

"Oh. My. God. Randi, you are awesome!" Okay, so I may have just stolen that from her books but the truth still stands. This series is one I found by accident but I have never been happier! The books are simply outstanding and everything about them is just perfect for me - from the covers down to the nitty-gritty of editing and grammar. I am a long-term fan of both Randi and The Revelation Series so I warn you now that I will be squealing like a fangirl. But anyway, onto Redemption itself.

If you want a book that you can pick up and put down again without any problems then you need to WALK AWAY!! These books will get under your skin, the characters within the pages you will love, then hate, then love again as Randi plays with your emotions. She is a wicked author ;)

Redemption will take you on a rollercoaster of a ride. You start with major, almost catatonic depression, then anger, then hope, then love, happiness, friendship - need I go on? There is a gamut of emotional highs and lows in this book and it's not just from the main characters. Smaller characters that have just had a supporting role up to now get their chance to shine. We learn more about everyone and meet new allies too. We meet old allies and feel our heart break all over again. Did I mention this book is emotional?

I love the way that Randi writes - she draws you into the story and it enfolds you. The characters get under your skin until they feel like friends/enemies or even frenemies. Whichever, you know them! They are not just words on a page.

This is a series of five books and as such they are not standalones. Randi has got the art of the ending down to a 'T' and she kills me every time! So far, I have issued a kleenex warning with both her previous books and this one is no different. The ending took me by surprise and left me reeling. I can honestly say that I finished the book, shook my head and went back to re-read the last chapter because I just couldn't bear for the book to be finished.

I am now impatiently waiting for books 4 and 5 and once I have my grubby paws on them, I will be re-reading this whole series back to back. A fantastic, hot, witty, smexy Paranormal Romance that will draw you in and not let you go. I can't recommend this highly enough!

I use this app to borrow audiobooks from the Austin Public Library. Ebooks are also available, but I can't get them transferred to my e-ink nook, so I tend to not borrow them. The only thing that bothers me, is that there are a limited about of audiobook copies that they can let at once. So, it takes forever for the popular books to be available. It also works really well with the bluetooth in my car, which is a relief because Audible is horrible with bluetooth.
