Review: The Seduction 4


The Seduction 4
The Seduction 4 by Roxy Sloane

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Well that ending was kind of a letdown. And after all of that build up. Vaughn would not approve.


Okay, so it wasn't that bad. It was good, but in comparison to the rest of the books, I was left feeling a little...unsatisfied. Spoiler alert, yo. No real bad guy caves that easy. Dude was supposed to be some kind of mastermind and he blabs? Nope. Killed my buzz. I don't dig things wrapped up with a pretty bow. Maybe that's just me though. Anyhoo. Overall, this was a great serial, with the exception of this one. Three stars for the serial as a whole.


Side note. Am I the only one who really, really wanted to find out Vaughn's first name?

Review: Just One Night, Part 6


Just One Night, Part 6
Just One Night, Part 6 by Elle Casey

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



*This 'tis be a review for the completed serial. I'm too lazy to review them all separately. 3.5 stars for it as a whole.


I don't know why, but I have been on a huge serial kick lately. Even though I hate them, as a general rule. They make me feel like I'm being productive in my whole reading obsession, I guess. I still kind of wish they would disappear though.

So. Just One Night Parts 1-6. Hilarious. Seriously, I was dying laughing. That could also be from the fact that I was delirious with exhaustion, but can't sleep though. I'm going with the being funny as hell though. It was chock full of quirky ridiculousness, which is my cup of tea.

On the downside of that, beyond said quirky ridiculousness, there wasn't much else. I skimmed over bits of pieces of it because outside of the humor, I wasn't impressed with chunks of the storyline. Which, again, seems to be my biggest issue with serials. They just never seem to be enough to fully connect me with the characters.

But for a serial, Just One Night is one of the better ones that I have read which really is a glowing compliment from me.

Review: Reasonable Doubt: Volume 2


Reasonable Doubt: Volume 2
Reasonable Doubt: Volume 2 by Whitney Gracia Williams

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

She lied to me... 
She betrayed the one rule that I'm most adamant about: Honesty. Complete and utter fucking honesty. 
I really wish she was someone else—someone who didn't have the ability to make me feel, someone I could easily discard like the hundreds of women before her. 
She isn't. 
I'm drawn to her like I've never been drawn to a woman before—completely captivated by the very sight of her. But unfortunately, with my past slowly re-surfacing for all of the world to see, I'll have to find a way to let her go. 
She can never be mine. 

*************************

This is the second book in this serial, they must be read in order.  Obviously.  However, this review can  stand for both of them since I'm the queen of the vague non-review. 

Reasons why I hate Serials.

1. The inability to fully form a character/relationship in such a short time.
2. I am an instant gratification kind of girl.
3. They cost how much for like 70 pages?
4. Did I mention my lack of patience?


Reasons why I am actually reading this one and currently trying to use Jedi mind tricks to get the rest of these books out now.

1. Andrew Hamilton.



I'm honestly a little surprised how drawn in I have been by the 2 releases of this serial so far. Obviously my above complaints about serials still stand here, but there was just enough that, even though it pisses me off, I'm still being suckered in to impatiently waiting on the next one to come out. Please tell me that there aren't like 20 of these. I may end up stalking an author and we all know that probably should be avoided.


I still hate serials though. Down with them all.
