'White hot kiss' by Jennifer L. Armentrout -book review

Goodreads page:   https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17455585-white-hot-kiss?ac=1 My rating:   3.5/5 Plot: Layla is a not so usual teenage girl.She is half demon,half gargoyle (living in a world where gargoyles,Wardens, were basically created to kill demons,so you can see her problem).She tries to keep as close as possible to her Warden heritage,yet the demon pulls are strong.Her life gets even more complicated after she meets Roth,one of the strongest demons,then I suppose it's quite obvious that everything becomes a bit of a roller-coaster. Thoughts on the book: Let's just say that all books should have as great of a first line as "There was a demon in Mc Donald's."Really,if that sentence doesn't get you hooked from the very beginning,I don't know what would. On a (sort of) more serious note,the book was really surprisingly good.I thought that the world was a bit odd to get into at first,I found it weird that Wardens were called Wardens

'Sweet evil' by Wendy Higgins - book review

Goodreads page:    https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11808950-sweet-evil My rating:  4.5/5 Plot: Paranormal romance story focused on angels/demons. Sixteen year old Anna Whitt has lived her life with only her stepmother to look after her knowing that she has powers quite out of the ordinary,yet has never really known how it came to happen.For example,she can see people's auras,figure out their emotions,has better senses than usual human beings and a surprisingly great memory (aka can remember things like her birth and even before that).Obviously,things get a bit more complicated after the boy meets girl,girl meets boy,there's a weird attraction there and things are about to get cray cray.In this case,the charming Kaidan Rowe is the one to sort of mess things up for Anna.Point it,they are both fathered by demons,which can make life not as bright,ya' know?Her heritage makes Anna have an odd pull towards drugs and alcohol,but obviously,that's still too simple

'Ten tiny breaths' by KA Tucker -book review

Goodreads page:   https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15990969-ten-tiny-breaths?ac=1 My rating:   3.5/5 Summary/plot: The story follows 20 years old Kacey who runs away with her sister to Miami so that the two can start a new life and burry their past.This past is full of sadness,four years earlier,the two lost their parents in a tragic accident caused by a drunk driver,accident which also lead to the death of Kacey's besti friend and boyfriend that were in the same car as her and her family.Adter 4 years spent with their aunt and uncle,they finally manage to escape,but the new life they hope for might just take a turn neither was actually expecting. Thoughts: The first thing the book made me realise is that I am not a New Adult kinda gal'.Although this is just genre appropriate and that the book is still quite mild for the genre (according to my New Adult loving friend Julia),I was still pretty uncomfortable quite a few times while reading the book.Yes,I shall ke
