I mean, it is one of the most awesome first lines I’ve read in ages. You hooked me from the first line (I don’t count the excerpt from the “article” from fictional gossip rag London Celebrity which precedes it). ![]() Now I am, of course, kicking myself about those two unread books because oh lordy, I loved Pretty Face hard. But trusted friends have told me I need to read both books like, yesterday so when I saw Pretty Face was available for review I snapped it up. I have your other book too – Artistic License written under the name Elle Pierson (I haven’t read that either – this is basically the story of my giant TBR of Doom). ![]() Although I own Act Like It in both ebook and audiobook formats, I haven’t yet read/listened to it. ![]()

Marks's Fire Logic, an original, skillfully written, powerfully imagined novel of war and intrigue, a high fantasy that owes little to Tolkien's trilogy, though both are intelligent, adult works that may also be enjoyed by younger readers. Among the rare and glorious successes is Laurie J. Much of it is derivative and badly written some is well written and singular. ![]() In the wake of the successful movie adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, bookstores have been flooded with new high fantasy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gabby’s well-schemed plans to ignore Hunter go up in flames when he presents her an offer she simply can’t refuse.

I have enjoyed all the books I have read from this author and I have an impressive number of freebies (15) which I have collected. The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). ![]() ![]() Second, I always have a little bit of a problem with story-lines based on the formula of 'I'm a male so I have ability X. NONE OF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE! Why would you do that to her? So, right off the bat I'm lost. So they condemned her to a life as an outsider with no one to turn to for answers or explanations. (So how was Morgan supposed to catch up?) What's more, the abilities she was born with didn't go away once she was put up for adoption. ![]() ![]() Thus, inferring that a lifetime of training really is necessary to do the job. (Seriously? If you're happy, why wouldn't your daughter be?) They then take in a ward who they train all through his childhood, but as an adult he barely knows everything he needs to know to take over the family duty. On having a daughter born with the same abilities they choose to give her up for adoption with the expectation that at twenty-five(ish) they'll invite her home and teach her everything she needs to know to take over for them. They were happy with their lives, even if it was a rough life. But I was annoyed.įirst, I just didn't understand the logic of the bio parents. I'll just put that out there at the forefront.

My brother’s girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. Michael Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika. He’s bad, and the dirt I’ve seen isn’t content to stay in my head anymore. Now, I’ve graduated high school and moved on to college, but I haven’t stopped watching Michael. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…For years, I bit my nails, unable to look away. The star of his college’s basketball team and now gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me. He is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying.
