Review for Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris

 Rating: 3.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to my book club friend Ashley Jones for gifting me this book last month for Christmas!!

This was my first time reading a book by this author so i wasnt sure what to expect and i wish i could of loved this book more.

I hated the main character so much which i didnt think it was possible to had a main character in a book with a passion the way i do. I couldnt stand the way he disrespected and talk to his wife the way he did that was something that bothered me through the whole book and i couldnt get over that. Why would an author make a main character so hateful?! 

I loved Grace and Millie but mainly Grace, her determination to escape from Jack was so amazing even tho each of her attempts failed. 

The setting felt all too Unbelievable and Unrealistic to me, like who actually has that perfect life in real life?! No one does so that was a turnoff for me. 

The ending was disappointing to me cause i feel like Jack took the chicken way out by doing that to himself. I was expecting a BIG over the top "Fight for Survival" ending between Jack, Grace and Millie. 

I feel like the author could of did better with the ending. I will read more books by her BUT im just very disappointed with this one!!

Thank you to Revell for sending me this FREE ARC COPY to Review for them!! 

This was my first time reading a book by this author so i wasnt sure if i'd like this book or not but man i loved and enjoyed this one so much!! 

The sad part of this book is how people have this stigma about not wanting to adopt stray cats due to their behavioral issues before even getting to know the cat even tho Adoption rates are at a steady HIGH over Dogs since 2019!! 

Can't wait to read more books like this in the future!!

Review for Blessing by Deborah Bedford

 Rating: 4 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book by this author and my second time reading a book in this series so i kind of knew what to expect. 

The Characters were interesting to read about and The Setting was described very well BUT i wish the author would of picked a differant name for the Female Main Character since it was so hard to pronounce it when reading. 

Overall i would of rated this higher if it wasnt for that little detail!!

Review of The Heir by Catherine Coulter

 Rating: 3 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book by this author and i wanted to love it but it didnt seem to wow me even tho i thought i'd love it since it was set in 1790 Regency England. 

Not sure if its cause ive been suffering from low blood sugar yesterday or what but i didnt enjoy this one at all. 

The characters were interesting to read about and the setting was described beautifully but the storyline didnt wow me. 

I'll revisit this authors books but not anytime soon!!

Review of Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Rating: 4 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book by this author so i wasnt sure what to expect. 

Even tho it was such a rollercoaster read for me with lots of chapters where not alot happened in every other chapter it was hard for me to pick what to rate this. 

Some of the characters bothered me with their attitudes toward others but overall the way the ending was so cute and sweet is what made me rate it 4 Stars!! 

If you love fantasy books than Please check this one out and let me know what your thoughts were on it when you read it!!

This was such a phenomenal read based on the flight career of Ameila Earhart set in 1928-1947. 

Even tho 2 characters became annoying at times, i did enjoying learning about all the characters in the book and i loved how the author beautifully described every setting in the story that made me feel like i was in the book.
