Mud Vein Madness!

Ok, so if I'm honest. I've not read anything by Tarryn Fisher before. Her book The Opportunist has been on my To Read pile for ages. But everywhere i look lately, everything has been about her upcoming release Mud Vein. Now, obviously I'm hugely intrigued and want to run and jump on the bandwagon. So today on my travels I see Mud Vein has been released early and everyone is going crazy. So I guess I'm going to have to go get that and have a little look. 

Mud Vein - Tarryn Fisher

When reclusive novelist Senna Richards wakes up on her thirty-third birthday, everything has changed. Caged behind an electrical fence, locked in a house in the middle of the snow, Senna is left to decode the clues to find out why she was taken. If she wants her freedom, she has to take a close look at her past. But, her past has a heartbeat…and her kidnapper is nowhere to be found. With her survival hanging by a thread, Senna soon realizes this is a game. A dangerous one. Only the truth can set her free.

Review: Summer Sky

Summer Sky by Lisa Swallow

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I was extremely lucky to be a beta reader for this book, and feel as if I have followed the characters journey for quite a while, and have loved every part of it.
Sky Davis is the down to earth, straight talking girl from next door. She's naturally gorgeous and has an equally natural personality. After being cheated on by her lame and lacking boyfriend of 5 years, she decides it's time to take a break. Leaving her home, ex boyfriend and job. She heads down to her childhood retreat for some thinking time. 1 car bump and crazy misunderstanding with cottage double bookings later. Sky has met 'The' Dylan Morgan. Although Sky has no idea that Dylan Morgan is the frontman for rock band Blue Phoenix, and that Dylan is also running and hiding in his childhood retreat too. So begins a sweet and funny meeting that grows into intense, hot chemistry in their holiday bubble. Away from the world they both have ran from.
Right from the beginning, I loved Sky. She's quirky and feisty and so normal you can't help but love her. The one liners she always manages to throw back at a shocked then secretly smitten Dylan, are so quick and sarcastic it's perfect.

"A dog ran out in front of me"
He looks into the road. "What dog?"
"The dog's not here now. I don't think the dog realised it needed to be a material witness and ran off" I narrow my eyes at him and he deliberately looks me up and down.

Dylan is the typical hot and brooding Rock star to start with, but after spending time with Sky, he soon starts coming out of his moping mood and starts to remember how to live.

"The water's bloody cold!" I step back and rub the water off my arms. "How can you stand swimming in this?"
"Because it makes me feel alive! Free. I'd forgotten how awesome this place is. I can breathe again."
Dylan's half talking to himself, I can't help but smile too. His happy enthusiasm is contagious.

The time spent at the cottage is charming and sweet, yet the undercurrent of building feelings makes all the moments really exciting. Waiting to see what they do.
Of course this dream bubble has to eventually burst. Sky has avoided looking to see who Dylan really is and after a glimpse at the real Dylan one day, she decides to take a look. Everything turns up a notch after that and it all goes from sweet yet steamy holiday crushes to intense real life with a harsh inside view of a rock star life, with stalking tendencies and ugly bad secrets waiting to come out. A week hiding in a secluded holiday cottage, indulging in a holiday crush soon becomes a distant memory for Sky and Dylan, but one that will stay with them forever.
There is a huge change halfway through when they come back to the 'real world' and you get to know the real Dylan and the people he spends his life and time with. Some very colourful characters and all pretty memorable.
What I really loved about Summer Sky is how you go from characters that are so like real people, people you can relate to and laugh along with.....

"Is this your underwear?"
I snap my eyes open, spilling my wine as I jump to my feet. Psycho-sexy driver stands at the bottom of the stairs with a pair of my knickers hanging off his long fingers. Not even nice underwear. The sort reserved for unsexy times of the month.

To the gorgeous, fantasy characters that I love to read about in my book escapism. There's so much going on in this book and it's all entertaining and addictive to read. Part sweet and easy to read romance, part rock star sexiness story. A mixture for everyone. Plus knowing the story continues on in a series is even better. There is so many characters I want to see more of and so much more to find out about. It will be exciting to go back to the Blue Phoenix world again.
A very justified and well earned 5 shiny stars!

Nearly there! Honest. :)

OK, so I'm getting there but very, very slowly. Some old reviews have been brought over from Goodreads and organised and hopefully visible to eyes other than mine. I've had to keep reverting back to Goodreads to the reviews that I've already left on there, which makes things really long and slow. But it's done now, Phewww. :) So, this has been a slow progress, but this is all new to me so it's definitely a learning curve! So I best get my bum in gear and get on with it. Bye for now. :)

Hey There!

Soooo this would be my first proper post on here and my way to say Hi. :) This blog is going to be my book obsession, so if you stumbled over here to read all about the important things going on in the world i'm afraid your gonna be hugely disappointed. ;) Books are all about the escapism for me and living in a world that is likely never to be in my lifetime. I thought i would try and give my 2 penny's worth (well probably a £1.00 knowing me and my habit of going on) on the books i currently read and have read....May take me a while to catch up, but i like a challenge! So bare with me and hopefully it will be worth a read. :)

Review: Full Steam Ahead

Full Steam Ahead by Valerie Chase

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



***A copy of this book was given in exchange for a fair and honest review***

Well that was a quick and easy read. Cruise ships are new thing for me to read about and I really enjoyed that background. Georgia is a gorgeous but secretly troubled college student, on a break with her friends from college aboard a luxury cruise liner. After breaking up with her long term boyfriend only 2 weeks previous, she's not in the best 'holiday mood'. Yet it seems she is hiding other secrets that are making her ill and withdrawn. After having to change rooms from one of the best aboard to anything she can manage to switch to. She finds her new room mate is another friend of her ex. He's gorgeous and not what she needs to be sharing with for the week, or is he. Great atmosphere between Georgia and Jace, lots of hot chemistry. It would seem that he is the only person not to fall for her lies of being 'fine' all the time and picks up on how far from fine she really is. It's all very sweet and incredibly easy to read. The lurking secret that makes Georgia the way she is definitely adds to the suspense and intrigue. I never even guessed at what it could be and I do love a mystery. Great easy, breezy read! 3.5 stars.
