Review: Teardrop Shot by Tijan

Teardrop Shot by Tijan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

Charlie just can't seem to catch a break in life. She got fired, dumped and propositioned by her ex's grandpa in one day, and then her terrible past came rushing back to her. Charlie is strong but that day she gave in and agreed to work at the camp she made memories - both good and bad.

Reece just needed somewhere to practice ball without having the paparazzi on him 24/7. He didn't think he'd find an odd woman who blurted out ridiculous questions at random times.

Camp Echo is a haven of sorts for these two, but it's also the place where everything is about to change for the both of them.

This is a heavy book. The personal issues that these two characters have is more than one person should have to go through. Fate had them meeting, but they either hated to keep each other in their lives. And they both helped each other get past the darkness that was creeping into their soul.

I really enjoyed this novel and I flew through it because I needed to know what happened next. When I was done, it all hit me that there are a lot of great messages about live and living and loved. I think many readers will love this novel and I am very happy I got a chance to read this eARC!

Review: Let's Pretend by River Laurent

Let's Pretend by River Laurent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this eARC from BookSirens and the author. This is my honest review.

Scarlette can't believe that her evil step-mother has control over her family house after her father dies. For some reason, her father listed his current wife to get the lands, rather than Scarlette who WANTS to have her house! The only way for her to work around her step-mother? Marry a man who Scarlette has pined over the years (though she refuses to admit that) but knows nothing about.

Zach has built his empire by buying out businesses on the verge of bankrupting and making a fortune from their loses. He has dealt with a lot of issues, but having Scarlette come to ask him to marry her so she can get her house was not something he saw coming. But Zach has always felt a strong attraction to Scarlette, so this shouldn't be too much of a hardship for him. He's basically getting the one thing he's been denied of for the past few years.

The plan is in motion, but neither Zach nor Scarlette could predict how the ending would turn out...

This was a pretty good novel! I liked it very much, and it was a very fast read! Both of the characters are likable and the attraction between the two bursts into flames whenever they are around each other. It almost makes it unbelievable that they hadn't hooked up far sooner than this chance encounter, by the way they react to one another.

I was able to predict the ending on how everything would go. This isn't a mystery, but it was very obvious by the way things were going.

I think many readers will enjoy this novel, and I may keep an eye out for more novels by River Laurent!

Review: The Assassin and the Empire by Sarah. J. Maas

The Assassin and the Empire by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay so for a future reread, I'm going to start with the novels. Lesson learned. They give a lot of references for future characters in the series that have a foreshadowing feature that I missed.

I loved these novels and I love this series and I love this author. I'm going to buy this set dinner out later to own for my personal library because i will definitely not be forgetting them.

Anyone who is thinking about reading this? I give a huge recommendation and say 100% yes!

Review: The Assassin and the Underworld by Sarah. J. Maas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was another good novella in the series. We're didn't meet any new characters, but we're got to know some returning characters a bit more. All of the pieces are fitting together about what happened to Celaena before her life started on a different route.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This. This novella explains a lot. I would definitely recommend reading this one before the series because these characters don't get a lot of explanation in the main novels. I love Ansel and Ilias. They both are two different characters who had the great pleasure of meeting Celaena. And I love how caring Celaena is. Even after a horrendous decision wad made, Celaena made a heartfelt decision at the end of this story.

So in love with this series and characters!

Review: The Assassin and the Healer by Sarah J. Maas

The Assassin and the Healer by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book for me was a refresher because Yrene already explained the story of the woman who changed her life. (Since I read these out of order!) But I loved seeing Yrene fight for herself, because she was a woman who was on the verge of giving up. Even though Celaena is an assassin, she helps so many people in her life. She reminded Yrene why she traveled so far from home. And she gave her so many gifts in the 1-2 days that they interacted. This just shows why I love Celaena so much!

Review: The Assassin and the Pirate Lord by Sarah J. Maas

The Assassin and the Pirate Lord by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm pretty sure I've read these novella's out of order, but that's all right.

I loved this one! After reading the whole series and the interaction with Celaena and Rolfe, their conversation totally makes sense to me now! And I loved the way Celaena fights for the slaves. She's been a good person her whole life, and this novella proves it.

I didn't realize that her and Sam didn't get along at first. It was nice to finally meet him and see him interact with Celaena, see how he fights and well of an assassin he is. I'm very intrigued to see more of him in the upcoming novellas!
