Rebecca's Lost Journals, Volume 4: My Master
Rebecca's Lost Journals, Volume 4: My Master

As the last novella in the "Lost Journals" set, "My Master" definitely takes the cake. The journals as a whole really add extra depth to the mystery behind Rebecca's disappearance, and really makes you wonder, 'Why did she leave? Is she okay?' It also sets up nicely for the second book in the "Inside Out" series, "Being Me", if you read it in the correct reading order. While the journals are not needed to understand the series, it definitely helps answer some questions.

Never have I read anything more perfect than this novella. EVER.
Colleen has yet to disappoint me and while Finding Cinderella wasn't necessarily my favorite book, Finding Perfect is definitely up there with my favorites! My heart juggled between hurting and joy, I laughed and darn near cried, I felt the swelling of emotion with every single page. If the title was enough of a spoiler, this is: I'm beyond ecstatic to see Daniel and Six get a happy ending!
  
Beth Porter's "Resident Aliens," gives us a novella, four poems and three short stories all focusing on the darker sides of post-war/post-depression era of New York through characters whose lives reflect it's less glamorous neighborhoods. Read my review of this unique collection here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/10/09/gritty-new-york-stories-and-poems/<br/><br/>NOTE: THIS Beth Porter is the author of ONLY "The Net Effect" and no other books attributed to her on this site.
  
This is the first novella I've read in this series and I liked that despite how short it is that we still got to see Gin kicking arse.

Mab's funeral takes place in this and you'd expect it to be a rather sedate affair, right? WRONG! Two attacks in such a short story and seeing it all happen from three different viewpoints was an interesting angle for it to happen.

I'm expecting good things from the next book in the series now.

Originally reviewed on http://www.frommybookshelf.com

A novella that seems to fall somewhere between coming-of-age fantasy and horror. I won't lie, I'm not even sure that I understood what this book is about, but it's so well written that I don't care that I don't understand what it means. Coming to the climax of the story, I simply could not read fast enough; Malerman creates such a sense of immediacy that it would have been impossible to put the book down by the second half.

From Goodreads: This story I found to be quite boring. Mia does have a backbone, and she seems to know what she wants, but I don't know how she finds Kenyon so appealing. All I saw in him was a pompous d-bag. I mean, at least he never cheated on a woman, I guess. For a novella, there was barely in action in it. Romances like these seem to get lamer and lamer the more I read them. Huh, I wonder what that says about me.

The Hellhound’s Legion ( A Kit Davenport Novella)
By Tate James

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

Join Kit and her new husbands as they face the high courts of Hell to answer for River's dual nature as a Hellhound.


A quick check in with Kit and her men. I need so much more!
This opened up a whole new world then left me wanting Kit to have Hell and demon adventures.
I do miss them!

I tried to read Raphael and was instructed to read this book first, so like a good little Bookworm, I did. I understand reading this novella would help me understand the back story and help me sympathize with the Fallen - which I do, as crazy as that sounds, but how can one not after all the things these boys have been through? Though I kind of trudged through it, despite the heartache and anger at their torture, I'm looking forward to seeing what Raphael has in store.
