The Testing - Joelle Charbonneau

The front of the book has a review claiming that all fans of The Hunger Game will simply devour.

That review was pretty spot on, at least in my case.

I ate every word written until I found myself at the end.

I even bounced between the book and audio because I could not get enough.

Maybe because it was so much like The Hunger Games.

The transportation method was very similar.

The testing students seeing the different cities and classes as they traveled.

Being sent to an unknown location to fight it out to the end.

They may have had more people coming out alive, versus The Hunger Games but it was pretty similar.

And don't even get me started on how badly I wanted Cia to react during the officials watching her be tested like Katniss did.

With all that I still loved it.

I rooted for Cia to cross that finish line.

I swooned when Michael was proud of her for finding the cameras.

I was sketched out about Thomas before Cia even was.

This is why I wanted more.

Thank god for book 2 and 3.

The Obsession by Jesse Q. Sutanto Pages: 320 This book was okay. I didn't hate it. Didn't love it. It was very predictable as things unfolded, which as a thriller that might have been what made me feel neutral about it. Delilah has been controlled by sketchy men her whole life, until she takes things into her own hands. Logan is infatuated with Delilah. He will do anything to maintain having her in his life. I feel for Delilah because even after taking control of her life, she still is a magnet for sketchy men. She just wants what every other girl wants. A normal happy relationship. Which she thought she had with Logan. Logan, this guy is a walking red flag. Yet on the other hand if he wasn't so creepy and intense he might have had things play out the way he wanted. Instead he hid cameras around Delilah's life. He blackmailed, and in his mind things had progressed way faster than on her end.

Meet Me in the Margins

Meet me in the Margins by Melissa Ferguson As someone who loves to read and write this book was at the top of my romance reading list. That's probably where it should have stayed. I love a good meet-cute book as much as the next girly but this just stayed flat. I felt I was struggling and grasping for those cute moments that are what keeps the pages turning. I hate giving a bo...

Old Black Witch by Wende Devlin - 32 Pages The Dream for Nicky and his mother was just that, a dream. That was until they found the perfect Old New England house to transform into a tearoom. What they did not plan on was the cranky and eccentric Witch that resided within. A little trouble with robbers, or how flying blueberry pancakes would go over with the guests. If you would like to whip up a batch yourself, you can! The book has a copy on the back.
