Light, Camera, Murder by Nikki Haverstock

Lights, Camera, Murder by Nikki Haverstock
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

General info

Aspiring other Melissa gets asked to take part in a reality show after one of the original cast members has been kicked out of the show. Things don't quite go as planned, and when she is accused of murder things really take a turn for the worse.

Things I liked

This was a quick and light read but there is still a bit of a mystery and some suspense. Melissa also goes through a lot and some important issues are discussed in the book. I like that this book also reminded me that it is important to do things you are passionate about in your life. Don't try to be something you are not.
The supporting characters are also interesting and I especially like Ryan a lot.

I don't think there is much negative to say about this book but my state of mind at the beginning might have affected my early experience with the book and the fact that I found the book to have a bit of a slow start.

Strays by Eliza Marsh

Strays by Eliza Marsh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jackie and Tyler are best friends who have been through more than most. When Tyler gets invited into the Red Kings MC, Jackie obviously follows and falls in love with the Vice President of the club.

I loved this book so much. I'm generally a fan of motorcycle club romances but this one is really nice and in a way it stands out. There isn't too much violence and it really focuses on the relationship between Dean and Jackie. There are some complicated things they face and this makes the book more interesting in my opinion. The supporting characters are also great and I would love to read their stories in the future as well.
The book ends in the most juicy cliffhanger so I really cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

The Sweetheart Deal by Allison Morse

The Sweetheart Deal by Allison Morse
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

General info

Ellen and John were in love nine years ago until John was accused of theft and driven out of their little town. Now he is back and onto something that Ellen isn't sure about.

Things I liked

The plot turned out to be great. It is mysterious and romantic. There are some twists and lot of things that only come out later in the story. It is truly great. I also really like the relationship between Ellen and John and the feelings they so try to hide and fight. I also really like Ellen and John as characters, I kind of feel for them. And I guess characters are well written when they make you hate them, like I really kind of hate Tim. Also, I like that there is a happy ending especially when at some point I was about 90% sure there would not be a happy ending.

Things I like less

This is not really a negative thing, but the start for me was a bit slow. For a little while I was not sure if I would ever actually get into the book but I did and I loved it.

Conclusion

All in all this book is amazing and I loved the story. It kept me hooked until the very end. I love the characters and the happy ending there is. It is truly a brilliant book.

Kiss and Consume by Lynelle Barrett

Kiss and Consume by Lynelle Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Info

Abigail's parents are executed as vampires and she flees to the house of a local teacher. He is kind and he believes that she is innocent. A romance starts to build, but things are not quite as they seem and tragedy strikes.

Review

The book is a great read and there is twists and turns and nothing is ever certain. The unknowns causes people to be gruel and thirst for blood and that leads to a lot of unhappiness. I like the relationship between Abigail and Levi. It's full of love and trust and childlike learning.
The plot goes up and down and I feel like it had more potential than what it delivered. It is a good book, but I feel like it could have been more. Also, there are certain aspects of the plot that are a little bit hard to follow, like the case of the doctor's hatred and his past life with Elisabeth.
It is important to remember that this is a first in series so, of course, there has to be something left to the next books in the series.
All in all, I like this book, but there are parts that I did not like so much hence the four stars. I definitely want to read the next book in the series.
