Review- Stone Cold Touch by JLA

Image
  Title: Stone Cold Tough (Dark Elements 2) Author: Jennifer L Armentrout Summary: Every touch has its price Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could. But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher...

NaNoWriMo 2014 and Beta readers!

Image
Fellow bloggers… How far I have strayed from my original mission of being a writer… Like an actual writer who earns her living from writing. For oh so long I have been away (studying IT gibberish) in an attempt to better my life and job. I know, I know, it sucks even worse than it sounds. My muse got bored from lack of attention, and I fear she may have left me. I will get her back!   Or perhaps, she is peeking in on me now, as my craving for words to be spilled is growing. What happened? What could have caused her to check in on me?   I blogged… I mean, not really. I didn’t blog a post, but I went to blogger (for the first time in WAY too long) and checked on the most recent posts. One caught my attention. A blogger I used to follow (and still technically do, though- as I said, blogging hasn’t been a huge priority for me lately) posted something about betas.   So I ran on over to HER BLOG and quickly devoured that post,...

Opposition (Lux 5) Review by JLA

Image
  Title: Opposition (Lux 5) Author: Jennifer L Armentrout   Summary: Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came. She can’t believe Daemon stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred. Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind. Review: Amazing! Can I give a one-word review and just leave it at that? No? Ok. So, we all know JLA is the best of the best. Every.Single.Book she writes is like glory etched in gold. Romance. Action. Shit-gone-bad and you have to find a way to fix it before the world ends and your lover dies. But you still get to kiss in the middle of it all… This epic alien saga was summed up nicely. Daem...

Image
Title: Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3) Author Tahereh Mahi Super brief review: So guys... I Gotta say. I was SUPER upset with the second book in the Shatter Me series! I HATED that she introduced a triangle. Adam was perfect in book 1! Book 2 he changed- and Warner (who is a BAD guy) was... not bad anymore? and she cared about him? Ugh- I was SO upset. SO angry! BUT-... UGH. Tahereh has the most unique, gorgeous prose! I love it! So I decided to read this and see where it all went. AND OMG people. I actually love Warner now. and Adam is an asshole! And maybe it helped bec It had been a year since I fell in love with Adam and Juliettes romance. I don't know. But I really liked the way this ended.  A lot! RATING: 5 Stars

Review of Branded by A Ketner and M Kaicicki

Image
Title: Branded Author: Abi Ketner and Missy Kalicicki Summary: Fifty years ago The Commander came into power and murdered all who opposed him. In his warped mind, the seven deadly sins were the downfall of society.   To punish the guilty, he created the Hole, a place where sinners are branded according to their sins. Sinners are forced to live a less than human existence in deplorable conditions, under the watchful eye of guards who are ready to kill anyone who steps out of line.   Now, LUST wraps around my neck like thick, blue fingers, threatening to choke the life out of me. I’ve been accused of a crime I didn’t commit, and the Hole is my new home.   Constant darkness.   Brutal and savage violence.   Excruciating pain.   Every day is a fight for survival.   But I won’t let them win. I will not die in the Hole.   I am more than my brand. I’m a fighter. My name is Lexi Hamilton, and this is my story. Review: ...

How to dye your hair two tones, red on top and black underneath.

Image
So… at one point recent I decided I needed to make SOME kind of change. I needed to do SOMETHING, but I didn’t know what. And I knew that I wanted to something semi-big. As a mother of 2 pretty babies, married and living a very 9-5 life, there wasn’t much I could do. SO… I dyed my hair! BRIGHT RED! It felt empowering! Strong. Awesome. In case you wanna do it too… Here is how: Step 1: Buy your products. -You’ll need Red hair dye for the top. I used Loreal Excellence hiColor Hilights in RED because it would lift the darker color (kind of like bleaching my hair) AND dye it red at the same time. Developer 30. (in the picture, i have the wrong developer next to each hair dye...) -Instead of going BLACK on bottom, I decided to go for a SUPER dark brown. Clairol 3RV/68R Violet Brown... -You need GLOVES (don’t forget these or your hands will get dyed and it will last a LONG time) -a bowl to mix everything in. -and scrunchies/something to separate your air and keep i...
