Review Lux Series by Jennifer Armentrout
My first introduction into the alien/human world created by JLA was by reading Obsession, and I loved it! Over a year later (because I'm cheap and have been stalking this series yet never reading), Obsidian goes on sale for free and I finally swoop down and dig my claws into that mother, and I couldn't put it down.
So here I am, having read the entire series in 7 days (so lucky that the last book was just released), and I loved it all!
This series starts out as YA romance, but I feel by book five all of our favorite characters have definitely become adults, matured & changed, and the romance is very strong, especially in the last 2 books, but it's not overwhelming as in some YA books, there's a whole lotta plot and twists and turns and ups and downs that kept me on my toes and kept me reading. Plenty of humor and awesome one-liners. The ending had me scared for a bit, but it turned out to be perfect.
Now I'm sad that it's over :(
Enter ensuing book hangover...
I'm just going to go ahead and rate all the books in the series 5/5 stars

Review of HORNS by Joe Hill
Overall, this was a thrilling read! A great mix of love, heartache, godliness, and the supernatural. I enjoyed the ups and downs of the story and many times I felt like I was hanging around my brothers as a kid, the dialog was real.
The only negative I have about this book is the ending, which seemed to drag on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. People were supposed to leave but then showed up again, other characters showed up and the interactions that followed didn't seem to add anything to the story, just drew it out. And how many times to we need to read about Lee beating the crap out of Ig in the bowels of that building? It was a repeated scene that got old.
Overall, a good read. The ending could have been a bit better, and less drawn out. I'm excited for the movie!
4/5 stars

A movie I'm kinda excited about!
I'm reading HORNS by Joe Hill right now (finally)! I was a bit nervous, since Joe
Hill is Stephen King's son, I was afraid of never sleeping again. But
it's good. I'm about 1/2 way through.
Oh, and the trailer = pretty awesome!

July Newsletter includes 26pg sneak preview of SPARROW MAN
Here's the link: http://eepurl.com/WlKgD
This book was a round-two contestant in the Amazon Breakthrough
Novel Awards 2014 and I received some excellent feedback from the VINE
reviewers. So excited!
Meg Clark has turned out to be
everything her father and the people of her little North Country town of
Gouvernour, NY, have been saying her whole life: nothin’ but a piece of white trash. And that’s how she lives; she’s even got the tattoos to prove it. Well that’s how she was
living, until she got knocked up and engaged. In an effort to hide her
past and turn herself around, she spent her inheritance from her dead
mother on the perfect little house with a white picket fence. Then
something terrible happened and Meg got sent to county lockup so her
fiancĂ©, Jim, wouldn’t have to. And then everyone started waking
up…dead.
Good thing escaping from County
wasn’t hard. Jim told her exactly how to get free. Now Meg is running
and the walking dead are following. In a last ditch effort to find
weapons to protect herself, Meg finds Sparrow instead. A tall, strange
man with a quirk, Sparrow has an obsession with feathers and the only
goal that’s on his mind is finding an old barn on Route 37 with a snowy
owl in its rafters.
Meg’s headed to Kingston, where she
and Jim agreed to meet if they ever got separated. But sometimes,
crossing the border brings more than just freedom and protection and
safety. Sometimes it brings questions that someone like Meg would prefer
not to answer. And everyone keeps asking questions, including Sparrow.
He thinks she’s hiding something and he’s not impressed by her stories
of the sins she’s been committing all her life. While Sparrow’s the one
who’s a bit cracked in the head, it never occurs to Meg that she could
be the one who’s not remembering something. Like what really happened
that day she killed those seven men.
