Ensnared By Rita Stradling

Hi Guys,
not my usual for Monday Share Day but It was either a review or a babbling mess of words.

Summary By NetGalley:

[This novel contains adult situations and is only suitable for readers who are 18+]

A Near Future Retelling of Beauty and the Beast

Alainn’s father is not a bad man. He’s a genius and an inventor. When he’s hired to create the robot Rose, Alainn knows taking the money is a mistake. Rose acts like a human. She looks exactly like Alainn. But something in her comes out wrong.

To save her father from a five-year prison sentence, Alainn takes Rose’s place. She says goodbye to the sun and goes to live in a tower no human is allowed to enter. She becomes the prisoner of a man no human is allowed to see.

Believing that a life of servitude lies ahead, Alainn finds a very different fate awaits her in the company of the strange, scarred recluse.

My Thoughts:
So when I picked out this book the only thing I actually saw was Beauty and the Beast. I actually really love Disney and fairy tales so retelling's are my second favorite (Yes typical girl I know) Anyways Ensnared was far out there, futuristic, it was an ok retelling it had all the basic points, although I can't say it was my favorite, it lacked world building in some places, the characters were different from the original I didn't expect them to be the same, I did expect similarities, although there weren't really any except for the Beast. Overall it's well written and is way better as a stand alone instead of a Beauty and the Beast retelling.

Tides of Change By Susan MacIver

Going past the revolting development of Fridays events, The book I have for you today Tides of Change By Susan MacIver, I simply wanted to thank her and her and my associate Jane Ryder for the free printed copy the book.

Summary By NetGalley: Tides of Change, Book One of The Atlantis Chronicles, begins far beneath the wild beauty of the Aegean Sea. Having survived one horrific cataclysm, a society as ancient as time now thrives untouched and undiscovered in blue waters once ruled by Poseidon

Unknown to any but their Healer, a devastating secret threatens Atlantis with yet another extinction event. The matriarchal healing line descended from Poseidon no longer has an heir. In a desperate bid to ensure the continuance of their small underwater community, Na-Kai eva Evenor, Most Sovereign Healer of Atlantis, unleashes a power the Healers have been expressly forbidden to use from the beginning of time. 

Rising from the hidden depths of Atlantis, Na-Kai’s telekinetic web of energy shimmers to a halt atop the jagged, volcanic cliffs of the exotic Greek island of Santorini.

Compelled from her hotel room to the very edge of the dark, windswept cliffs, Daria Caiden is trapped in the grasp of Na-Kai's relentless thought-form and pulled deep into the sapphire waters below. Floating in midnight quiet, she releases her last breath, and waits to die. 

In one shattering moment, events are set into motion that will bring about catastrophic change no one could foresee.

My Thoughts:

Susan MacIver blew my mind away with this book. The detail that went into the world building was near perfect. I felt connected to her characters and the story by its self was mind grasping. I will admit though that it did take a couple of chapters to get there but once you do it physically pains to put the book down. Its been awhile since i felt that much for a book I am definitely going to put this on my new year re read list. 

An Authors Tantrum (Apparently they do exist)

Shelby Lamb the author of Something You can find my review here.

Now to address the Author who throws a tantrum due to a 1 Star Review. As you all know I do, do some reviews for NetGalley, Now this darling author has very much implied and said strait out that I am a 'Fake' well I am here to say I am far from a robot. This author is angry because she can not hide my 1 Star review. That I more than happily flaunt that I did not like her book. Now I cannot do anything about her accusations. Although I can say that she does not take criticism lightly. I read every book from start to finish no matter what. This is one of those books that I had to slave through, I cannot help my honest thoughts, in fact on her blog  she puts a warning out to Netgalley authors. and that's fine but I am real and my opinions are real as is my criticism. I cannot help that an author has decided to cry and whine because she didn't like my blog post.

I AM REAL! I HAVE OPINIONS! YES! I GIVE CRITICISM!

Charmed By Billionaire Boss & Play Boy with Benefits By Brittney White

Ever know what its like to have a migraine. If you don't then let me explain. Its like a miniature bomb exploded in head. Anyways that's why I haven't been blogging these past few days.

So here is a two for one.
Charmed By Billionaire Boss And Play Boy with Benefits

Summary: I sadly couldn't find one these books are exclusive.

Question

Hi everyone so today I have been putting a lot of thought into a question my brother asked me about oh five years ago before he went AWOL on me.
Why do we care? At the end of the day we are dealing with either dying happy, sick, healthy, lonely, loved, hated, Ect,. So why do we care? what is the importance of caring if at the end of the day we are all dead anyways.
I am still after five years thinking and trying to answer this question myself, sadly I have yet to come up with an answer. Which is why I now ask you the same question, to ask yourself.

What You Don't Know By S. Airplane

Summary: Couldn't find one! Tangled (Adult 18+) Fan Fiction

My Thoughts:
This totally ruined my views of Disney, it has lot of mistakes in the text but was still "readable". This is a FAN FIC (Fan Fiction), it correlates well with the original Disney version. It paints a good picture and its a great story by its self. Now what I personally didn't like was the way the characters were portrayed, Rapunzel in the movie was far from stupid in fact she read an endless amount of books and more than anything this really ruined that, it made her look ditsy. Even though shes young and naive about certain things, it felt like the author really tried to push that she was stupid. As for Flynn Rider/ Eugene Fitzherbert I actually liked what they did with his characters they gave him a lot of background that wasn't there in the movie that makes it a much better story. Overall Its a well written fanfic,

The Question of Love By Oz Monty Mikhail

This poem is short, but also the best I could come up with for the Valentines day season that isn't as morbid as the rest of my poems. (Yes, I do know they are morbid.)

The Question of Love

What is love?

Other than a day of passion.

A woman in satin?

Or maybe its the kiss,

a sweet kiss.

What is love?

Is it the look in his eyes?

The deep timbre of his voice?

The idea of making new lives?

Is love a choice?

What is love?

Something By Shelby Lamb

Summary By NetGalley:
“I will find true love and everything will be okay. I will find true love and everything will be okay…” she chanted. 

They say be careful what you read. Something is wrong. Something is very wrong. It can happen to anyone. This is just four teenagers’ story. Aubrey Golding hates her face, her body, and is devastated after Nathan Silva leaves her. Alone, suicidal, and desperate for love, she discovers a book called Something and unknowingly links others to a dark and terrifying curse that is beginning to consume her. Nathan is glad to be moving on with someone new and can hardly believe what is happening now. Wild child and amateur porn star, Bella Broadhurst, loves bullying that “emo whore” Aubrey with the other girls, but mostly she loves partying, hookups, and plain ol’ drama when terror arises. And Kendra Coke is just a new teen mother working on a delicate relationship when things start becoming utterly bizarre. Chilling sleep disturbances and figures hiding in the corners of their rooms are just warnings of what is to come. Be careful what you read, they say. Tread carefully.

Don’t Remember by Rich Silvers

Summary By NetGalley:
How much will Julian sacrifice to find the truth?

As he approaches the corner of Wendt and Brewster, Julian Barnes makes a bet with fate: if he can drive through the intersection without stopping, it will be a sign that he won’t lose Julia, the woman he loves.

A stranger warns Julian that if his memory returns and he tells anyone what really happened, Julia will die, too.
What don’t they want him to remember? Julian knows he got in the car an hour before the accident, on his way to see Julia. But then…nothing.
Why was he driving away from Julia’s apartment when the car hit him?
What did he see just before the impact?
Julian bears the weight of not knowing. His quest will take him to places he never expected, and to stories he never wanted to hear.

--To Kristopher By Oz Monty Mikhail

Why death you have changed,

from a hideous demon.

To a beautiful angel.

A once unpleasant sight,now welcomed ray of light.

Meet me where the dead roam,where the living shy,So tonight we reunite.

Life is the prison we love,Death the freedom we are afraid of.

With love we hide,and death we side,peace is right,but chaos is the broken sight.

We Fight,see the light!

We hide, Don't shy!

The Fifth Petal By Brunonia Barry

Aided by Callie Cahill, the daughter of one of the victims who has returned to town, Rafferty begins to uncover a dark chapter in Salem’s past. Callie, who has always been gifted with premonitions, begins to struggle with visions she doesn’t quite understand and an attraction to a man who has unknown connections to her mother’s murder. Neither believes that the main suspect, Rose Whelan, respected local historian and sometime-aunt to Callie, is guilty of murder or witchcraft. But exonerating Rose might mean crossing paths with a dangerous force. Were the women victims of an all-too-human vengeance, or was the devil raised in Salem that night? And if they cannot discover what truly happened, will evil rise again?
