The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
I
LOVED this book. I was a little hesitant to read this after Dating You/Hating
You by Christina Lauren since they sound exactly alike. The Hating Game though
is a million times better and that is saying a lot since I gave Dating
You/Hating You a 4 star rating.
The
Hating Game is about two co-workers that are from two companies that merged
together. They work for their respective heads from their previous company and
they are the only two in a room. They play little mind games with each other to
make the work day more bearable but at the same time it makes it harder on each
other. Their story was just so freaking cute. I had borrowed this from the
library but it is one that I will need to buy to keep on my shelves!
Hard
Eight, Seven Up, To The Nines by Janet Evanovich
Still
loving this series. I listened to it on audio and it just makes my commute so
much fun!
The
Son by Jo Nesbo
I
listened to this on audio. I loved the protagonist, Sonny Lofthus. He is a
convicted murderer and a heroin addict. Sonny may be convicted but we quickly
learn that he has not committed the crimes that he is in jail for. His
confessions are all based on getting a steady stream of heroin while he wastes
his days locked up. Through the narrative we learn why Sonny is in the position
he is. Sonny then receives information that changes his whole view on his life,
and his fathers. The rest of the narrative follows Sonny has he tries to get
justice for past wrongs.
The
point of view switches between Sonny and Simon Kefas. Simon is an aging police
detective with his own set of character flaws. As the two hunt their own end
game the tension mounts and keeps you as the reader hooked.
Kissing
Sin by Keri Arthur
Book
2 in the Riley Jenson Guardian series. I will give this series one more book
but not too sure if I will keep on after that.
I
was disappointed with this book. The entire 369 pages was just a long intro
into the series. Literally all world building and character development. Along
with it being so slow, the writing was very stilted. If it was done on purpose,
I get why. If this is just the author’s writing style… yikes. I want to pick up
book two, I feel like I need to get some answers and I am already this
invested. I will be picking it up as an audio though so that it forces me to
keep moving right along.
Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling
I
always thought that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was my favorite in the
series but after this re-read I want to say this is in the running for the
favorite position. Knowing how the series progresses my heart aches for Harry
and Sirius. Though I know all the excitement that happens I was still cheering
and booing and crying out in fear in all the same places.
The
Freedom Broker by KJ Howe
This
was a great fast paced interesting read. There are some areas that are
unbelievable, okay a lot, but that didn’t damper the excitement as you follow
Thea Paris through her kidnap rescues. I received book two, Skyjack, for free
so of course I needed to pick up book one first. Happy I did and I cannot wait
to pick up Skyjack now!
