Series Review for Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher

Like most readers I hate cliffhangers. Never Never novellas had the worst cliffhangers ever! Since I just finished reading the finale for Never Never, I thought I'd post the whole series review together here.

Here's my reviews for Part I and II from Goodreads.

Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher

Blurb:

Best friends since they could walk.
In love since they were fourteen.
Complete strangers since this morning.

He’ll do anything to remember. She’ll do anything to forget.

Review:
AHHH!!! Sweet torture!!

I wish I'd have the patience to wait till the second book was out at least, but no I just had to read this book because the blurb was just that good!

All I can think of right now is how much I want the second book. Its got me all like:

Anyway... Back to the book. It was really good as per usual, loved the characters and the plot is really intriguing. Grab a copy and accompany me in the torturous wait for part 2!

Can't wait for the next book. Maybe they could release part 2 early as well? ;)

Never Never: Part Two by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher

Blurb:

“Never forget that I was your first real kiss. Never forget that you’ll be my last.
And never stop loving me between all of them.
Never stop, Charlie.
Never forget.”

Silas races against time as more truths unravel, while others twist tighter together. And now, the stakes are higher as Silas’ control slips and others begin to point fingers. Charlie is in trouble and he must be the one to bridge the chasm between their past and their present. Because somewhere between I love yous and Never Nevers and Never Agains, a truth they can't imagine, beckons to be found. 

“Where are you, Charlie?”

Review:
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why?!?!

Okay now that its out of my system....
Never Never Part Two... I loved the book even though sometimes I feel like its way too short and leaves me with more questions than answers. But I still love it because of the sheer mystery and enigma of the whole situation. There are so many theories spinning around my head, so many questions, so many possibilities!

All the readers who love mystery with a dash of romance, who have a healthy curiosity and a lot of patience, YOU WILL LOVE IT!

Compelling, engaging, mind-boggling!

Okay now for the actual review for the book I read this year!

Never Never: Part Three by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher

Blurb:
Together, Silas Nash and Charlize Wynwood must look deeper into the past to find out who they were and who they want to be. With time ticking down, the couple are in a race to find the answers they need before they lose everything. Can they regain what they once had? And will it restore who they once were?

Review:

“Fate is the magnetic pull of our souls toward the people, places, and things we belong with.” 

Do you believe in fate and destiny?

That is the question which will determine if you like this book or not.

The series started with a bang. I could not stop reading and I could not shut up about it. I have had lengthy discussions about this series since part one came out. Part two was a little bit disappointing because as I said earlier (ie in the review above :P ) that it left me with more questions than answers. But it had set up the stage for Part Three to be amazing and even more mind boggling.

I have to say that I was a little disappointed by this installment. I think I just expected it to go in a completely different direction, because there were just so many little clues that pointed towards a more complicated answer than what we got in the book. I expected it to be a little darker, and I probably would have liked it better for it. The series had such a great build up and maybe because I was expecting a completely different outcome, I was a bit let down by it. 

It was like I was expecting a gut punch and all I got was a little tap. You know?

But that being said, I still adored the series. I loved the writing style and the characters. When you view your life as an outsider, without any prior knowledge about the people or worldly attachments, I think our whole perspective would change. This was what I found really interesting in this novella.

I liked the ending, it was a little cheesy/corny for my taste, but I think I can live with it.

If someone else has read this series, lets fangirl and discuss together!! Also if you haven't, and want to take a chance on it, read and then let's fangirl together! ;)

Till later beautiful people!

I've Been MIA.... Again..

Hello lovelies!

I haven't posted in so long!!! 2016 isn't off to a great blogging start, no?

Many apologies...

I've been so busy though!! And fun busy for the most part!

There was the internship where I got to do wonderful promotional graphics, interact with some pretty interesting people, handle so many different kinda jobs, and I was appreciated! You do not know how good that felt!

Then was my birthday, which did not suck, so that's a win. :P
Also the most weird and amazing thing happened. I somehow gained lots of likes suddenly on my FB page. I have no idea how, but thank you! I'll be posting more stuff there too now :D


In other news, 2016 is not off to a great reading start either.... But I have a feeling it will turn around soon. I've never been able to keep away from books for too long.

Last night I did not sleep at all and stayed up reading F*ck Love by Tarryn Fisher. God! I loved it. I now want a Helena and I want a Kit and I want a Greer. And I want to be more like Helena. No inhibitions, being wonderfully weird. More on this book in a review soon. I promise. Next week max!

So  I guess its already turning around.

Also I'll update 2016 Reading Challenge soon!


I'll end with this. I just want to say that I appreciate each and everyone of you that takes the time to read my, mostly incoherent, ramblings and still sticks around for some more.

Also just a reminder, you are appreciated and you are not alone. Just putting this out there again, if anyone needs to talk or rant, I'm here.
Virtual hugs for everyone!
TJ

January Update

Lovelies, this week has been full of new things for me. I just started my internship this week, and it has been so rewarding! I'm just trying to catch up with everything. While there I met an author, which was AMAZING! After meeting him I'm now considering getting his books, even though they are non-fiction! *gasp*

I know, I know. Too much.

Speaking of books, I've been seriously dragging with my reading this time. January has not been good on the reading front for me. But I'm really enjoying Crane by Stacey Rourke. If any of you like Sleepy Hollow (book, movie, or the TV show), you might want to pick this one up!

I'm also a bit behind on my language studies.. I need to figure out a way to sit and study, like soon!

I know you all were probably expecting a Featured Author Post but I've just been really swamped this week! :(

Promise I'll make it up next week!

On a happier note, YAY for the TV shows being back!! I still have to catch up a bit though. :P Oh well. Let me know which shows you're enjoying this season? (Does that sound right?)

Take care! Stay busy!

Review for The Air He Breathes by Brittainy C. Cherry

The Air He Breathes by Brittainy C. Cherry

Blurb:

I was warned about Tristan Cole.

“Stay away from him,” people said.
“He’s cruel.”
“He’s cold.”
“He’s damaged.”

It’s easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster.

But I couldn’t do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me.

We were both empty.
We were both looking for something else. Something more.
We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays.

Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe.

Review:

Let me just come clean here.

Featured Author: Stacey Rourke

Featured Author: Stacey Rourke

For my first Featured Author Fridays I thought I'd go with one of my favorite and go to authors - Stacey Rourke!

I've loved her writing style ever since I read The Conduit. I just got The Legends Saga, and I'm in love with her writing all over again. 

Her posts on social media sites are funny, and you can see where her characters get all that sass from. I recently reconnected with her on FB after a while, and she is the sweetest person ever! 

I was hoping I'd have a lot more to say about her but honestly, I'm at a loss for words at the moment. I think Stacey is one of the most genuine and wonderful people and authors I've had the pleasure of knowing, and I think you all should go give her some love and definitely check out her books!

Let's talk a little about her books. 

The Gryphon Series was one of the first books with a kick-ass female lead that I had read in a long time, and it was exactly the kind of book I love. It was funny, sassy, fast paced, and everything you'd want in a book.
So if you all lovely readers are looking for a new series to obsess over look no further! Gryphon Series has got you covered - from the laughs to action to feels, its got it all!

She also wrote a stand-alone novel called Adapted for Film, which I LOVED! It was adorable, with a healthy dose of sass that I've come to expect, and look forward to, from Stacey's books. For all my rom-com loving readers out there this would be a perfect lazy day read!

The Legends Saga is one I started recently, the first book so far has been really interesting. Its a sort of retelling of the classic story of The Headless Horseman. More on this series after I finish reading it!

I'd recommend her books to everyone! Definitely check out her books all the links are down at the end!

Official Author Bio:

Stacey Rourke is the author of the award winning YA Gryphon Series, the chillingly suspenseful Legends Saga, and the romantic comedy Adapted for Film. She lives in Michigan with her husband, two beautiful daughters, and two giant dogs. She loves to travel, has an unhealthy shoe addiction, and considers herself blessed to make a career out of talking to the imaginary people that live in her head. 

RONE Award Winner for Best YA Paranormal Work of 2012 for Embrace, a Gryphon Series Novel Young Adult and Teen Reader voted Author of the Year 2012 Turning Pages Magazine Winner for Best YA book of 2013 & Best Teen Book of 2013 Readers' Favorite Silver Medal Winner for Crane 2015.
