More than Comics ( Chasing the Dream 2)
By Elizabeth Briggs
⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been in love with Tara long before I became a famous rock star. We talk every day. We know everything about each other. But we've never met in person.

Until now.

Four days at Comic-Con together might change everything between us. She can never know how I feel about her. I won't ruin our friendship. I can't.

But I can't resist her either. And after one hot, unforgettable night together she sees me as more than her best friend too.

Can our online relationship turn into a real life romance? Or will it destroy our friendship forever?

This was sweet, loving the Comic-Con fun mixed in too pretty easy going read. Not much more I can really say.

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

In the (possibly not so distant) future, there's a Covenant between the human world and the natural one: Humans wreaked havoc on the Earth, and now they must make amends. They do this through obtaining Hearts, animal spirits that they must earn through a series of trials, proving they are of strong heart and mind and are willing to protect the lands and all its inhabitants. Adain is ready to begin his journey into adulthood, and it starts with the Heart Chase, where he must capture a Heart to call his own. Little does he know that this year's trials won't go according to plan...

This story pulled me in from the very start. Just the idea behind it alone, that humans have made a pact with the natural world to bring order back from the chaos of our time, is a fantastic concept, one that I had long discussions about with friends upon starting this series. And the way it's written makes it easily understandable for anyone, as children could read it right alongside their parents. I've already recommended this book to several people, and I look forward to the rest of the series, as well as more from this author.

5 stars =)

Scion's Awakening (Seven Seals #3) by Traci Douglass
Scion's Awakening is the third book in the Seven Seals series, and we meet Wyck, whom we were briefly introduced to at the end of Chago's book. He is the resident geek, and Scion to the Seal of the Apocalypse, who in traditional opposite style, is a scientist trying to stop the world's famine problem. However, with the Nephilim involved, nothing is as simple as it seems.

This is a fast-paced story, so be prepared for it to jump a bit - one example being Quinn's reluctance to be with Wyck as he will only break her heart. Next paragraph, they are together. Now, I know, before I get shouted at, this is a novella so this happens. It was just a bit too quick.

On the whole, this was well written, and a good continuation of the series. I would have preferred to drool a bit more of Wyck's 'geekiness' which wasn't really mentioned, but that's just me! I am thoroughly enjoying this series, and look forward to continuing it. Definitely recommended by me.

What's up losers?! I finally faced my fear of reading IT. My fear wasn't Pennywise, but the thickness of the book at 1,153 pages. As heavy of a book as it is, IT seemed to just float in my hands. Once I lifted open the manhole cover and climbed into the sewers of Derry, Maine the story flowed like the rain waters of the deadly 1931 and 1957 floods. If I had attached playing cards to my book you would've heard them clicking and clacking away as I turned each page faster and faster.

     After spending the last couple of months with Bill, Ben, Beverly, Richie, Mike, Eddie, and Stan I feel like they're my best friends and I'm now part of the Loser's Club. I really hope in the coming years I don't forget about them, like a memory hidden away in the barrens of my mind. Maybe I'll have Mike make an entry in his journal.

Wahiawa, HI, July 19th, 2019, just past Midnight: If you were to look into my eyes at this moment you may see what appears to be deadlights in my eyes. I assure you tgey are only lit up with excitement and joy, as Stephen King's IT floated its way to the top as the best book I've ever read.

I received this copy in exchange for an honest review.

I was quickly captivated by this story and the characters and quickly devoured this book.

The story has some dark aspects but they are to be expected in most New Adult books. This one is slightly darker than others and focuses on abuse and violence.

I’ll start by mentioning Devin Castile, I think I fell for him pretty early on or he at least got me a little hot and bothered. Wowzer! Well done for creating such a hot character :D

Mitch on the other hand seemed sweet and kind but their wasn’t really a spark there. He seemed too much of a gentleman (but some women like that).

I also really liked Brad and Carlie, they were fun characters and I enjoyed the banter they shared with Jess

Although dark, this is a well written book and having looked on GoodReads I’ve seen their is going to be a second book, A Brutal Tenderness, which sounds like it will tell the story from Devin’s POV. I’ll tell you now I will definitely be interested in seeing things from his view and I’ve marked it as “to-read”

I really enjoyed it and recommend it to those who like New Adult books and those who like their books a little grittier.
