Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

This book reminded me why I usually stay away from this genre! I had read another book by this author (the thriller Verity) and I could see this author growing in popularity. I Googled which one of her books is the most spicy (don’t judge) and it was this one. But here’s why I’m in no rush to read any more Colleen Hoover. (Don’t worry – no spoilers.)

Raven’s Reckoning by Charlie Nottingham

This is hands-down my favourite paranormal romance series of all time – and that’s after having read the Fallen series, the Mortal Instruments / Shadowhunter series and spin-offs, the Twilight series, some of the Vampire Diaries, some of the Zodiac Academy series, and some of the Dark Fae series.

I recommend that you don’t read the rest of this review until you have read the previous two books in the series.

Ask Natalie by Natasha Boydell

Journalist Natalie comes into the office one day to find everyone staring at her, and gets called into the boss’s office, where police are waiting to speak to her. It transpires that her former love has suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a small note reading “Ask Natalie”.

Never Lie by Frieda McFadden

To be fair, I’ve never heard of such a sinister house viewing! Frieda McFadden has done it again – her latest book is compelling tale with twist after shocking twist!

The Inmate by Freida McFaddon

OMG This is the best psychological thriller I’ve read in years! I knew I was going to be a fan of author Frieda McFadden after reading Housemaid, but this book is even better! NO spoilers…

Dark Fae by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti

I haven’t had this much fun reading a book in ages – it was so unpredictable and I never knew which character’s POV I’d be reading from next. This book has vampires, shape shifters, magic, drugs, a cult, and spice. But that’s not even the best thing about the book… (No spoilers.)

Zodiac Academy The Awakening by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

This book has been described as what Hogwarts might be like if it were run by Voldermort – and that’s a great way to describe it…(don’t worry, no spoilers)

Raven’s Cry by Charlie Nottingham

WOW – the sex scenes in this book are even hotter than 50 Shades! They’re absolutely delicious and each one is perfectly pitched.

A Little Less than Love? By Carys Smith.

Book Review by Cari Mayhew. Rating 5/10.

Warning – this is not a feel-good book! And, to be honest, almost every single character got on my nerves! It’s a book about relationships and has several different themes regarding relationships. Continue reading A Little Less than Love? By Carys Smith.
