Review: War of Dragons by Jessica Cluess

War of Dragons by Jessica Cluess
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review. 

The battle scenes in this book were outstanding! I felt like I was thrust into the middle of each viewpoint. I'm glad we still got everyone's viewpoint in this novel and I am really happy about how each character was able to grow into theirselves. There was a lot of information thrown into this book, but I didn't feel like I was lost or overwhelmed. 

All of these characters have a key part in this war and I love that so much. They are not waiting idlely by while one person saves the day. Without each one of these characters, a lot of things would have gone horribly wrong. 

I love the dragons in this book, especially with that twist! 

I'm really glad I got the chance to read this series!

Review: House of Dragons by Jessica Cluess

House of Dragons by Jessica Cluess
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I love a good dragon story, so I was very excited to read this series. And I'm happy to say there were a fair amount of parts that involved the dragons! Some books about dragons rarely have them in there, so I was hopeful. 

I think this is the first book in awhile that I had more than 2 viewpoints. With 5 characters and thoughts, I am happy to say I didn't get confused at all when each chapter was a different character. I'm really glad that we did get all 5 of their viewpoints because it really developed the story and made the reader understand each contestant. 

Emilia, Lucian, Ajax, Vespir, and Hyperia are all extremely different from each other. I really disliked Hyperia from her first chapter and the feeling only grew stronger from there. Emilia and Lucian are my favorite of the bunch. 

The ending was great and I'm so glad I'm going to dive into book 2 to see what happens next!

Review: Chased: Part Two by Piper Lawson

Chased: Part Two by Piper Lawson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley.  This is my honest review. 

What a great ending to this story.  I loved the whole thing and really got invested in Chase's issues that he was dealing with.  And I loved how loyal and determined Ariel was.  You can tell that these two were meant to be and I was there for every minute.  Seeing Ariel with Drew was sweet and I really enjoyed how much he opened up to her about his likes and passions. 

This was a hidden gem that I, for some reason, wasn't expecting to like as much, so I'm really glad I got the chance to read it and discover this!

Chased: Part One by Piper Lawson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley.  This is my honest review. 

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this part 1 of Chased!  Ariel and Chase are really convoluted characters who have layers of mystery and intensity.  I also love the running aspect since I used to be a runner, so I can relate a lot of my history with that part of the book.  The chemistry and tension between these two characters is off the charts and it was only a matter of time before they caved into temptation. 

I'm also really enjoying the mystery, creepiness of this story - again, not something I was expecting so overall I'm very glad that 1, I finally got around to reading this book and 2, I have part 2 to finish this story!

Review: Love Thy Neighbor by Teagan Hunter

Love Thy Neighbor by Teagan Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions. This is my honest review. 

This story is adorable, sweet and so so steamy!  I absolutely adore Caroline and Cooper. I love how close they are as friends and I was 100% down for them becoming more. Both of them are hot nerds and I love that fact because they are made for each other. 

Caroline became my bff when she was binging The Vampire Diaries and loved on Caroline in the show because they are doppelgangers. Then throw in her shyness and love of books and I was hooked.

And Cooper?! Whoo, I feel for him so hard! And the way he took control and was commanding in the bedroom? So steamy and hot!

I'm so extremely glad I got to read this eARC and I've been introduced to this author! This is a must read!

Review: Collateral Damage by Giulia Lagomarsino

Collateral Damage by Giulia Lagomarsino
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions. This is my honest review. 

So book one basically ripped my soul out and I ugly cried, but I'm happy to say this book did NOT do that. I don't think I could handle that again. 

Robert and Anna are very intruding characters. I knew something terrible had to happen because there was no way Anna was that upset with Robert over something silly. And I was right, unfortunately. 

Robert is something else. I actually didn't really like him all that much. He was so focused on money and rich items that he lost sense about anything else in his life. He said some pretty terrible things and really felt confused when people got upset at him because he didn't realize what he sounded like. Thankfully he redeemed himself by the end, but I know I wouldn't be able to tolerate him if I were Anna.

The parade scene was definitely my favorite and I was laughing so hard! Also that ending was so jaw dropping! I cannot wait to see what happens during that storyline!

Review: Trouble by Adriana Locke

Trouble by Adriana Locke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley.  This is my honest review. 

This was so sweet!!  I seriously love Penn.  He's seen as a player (for obvious reasons) but when he's with Avery, he wants to be better, to be someone else, but he is sooo confused and he makes mistakes and he's human.  Just pure human who is learning it step by step.  He stumbles over mistakes he makes and his words and he legit is bewildered about Avery's reactions sometimes, which just makes him look like the sweetest, most adorable man I've read about in a really long time. 

Avery is so patient and understanding when it comes to Penn.  Though at a certain point she does have to be a little more upfront and harsher with her decisions to make her point across, but she legit understands where he is coming from.  With both of them having similar pasts, these two are definitely meant for each other and are there to help one another.  I also love how Avery was able to start painting again and see out a dream of hers come true without the influence of her parents' judgement. 

I'm so glad I finally read this book and I am so glad I loved it so much!  I'll have to see about looking for the other books by this author :)
