REVIEW: My Soul to Keep

It was only a wish Connor Sullivan was painfully average. The very highlight of his existence was going to school, doing homework, and playing video games. He thought nothing would ever change that. Unfortunately, homework usually screws everything up. A cut, some blood, and a hastily scrawled promise to sell his soul for his fondest wish…and all hell breaks loose. Literally. The Demons take him up on his offer. In a last ditch effort to keep his soul, he wishes to become one of the demons, or Fallen as they call themselves. Connor thought he had found a solution to his problem. He never fully understood the meaning of the phrase, “From the frying pan into the fire,” until his wish was granted. The biggest catch? Never ever fall in love with a human… And then she walked into his school. Beautiful, red-haired, funny…and blind. Connor’s heart didn’t stand a chance. Neither did the Fallen’s rules. He had saved his soul, but could he find happiness without hurting the girl he loved? Or would secrets Jessica didn’t even know she had destroy them all?

My Review:

I discovered Sean Hayden´s work through Jen Wylie when she was looking for reviewers for their anthologies of stories Flashy Fiction & Other Insane Tales 1&2. I´ve read some short stories written by Sean Hayden and I loved his writing, humor and witty. He created wonderful stories in just a couple of pages so I was eager to read a whole book written by him and I have to say that My Soul to Keep fulfilled all my expectations.

The setting for the story is an average city where everything seems normal till Connor, the main character decides to make a pact with the evil just for fun. I love the fact that he does it just for the fun of doing something dangerous and because he is bored because that is something teenage boys really do these days. The whole story mixes ordinary things that can actually happen in real life with paranormal traces creating a blend that makes the story completely fascinating and believable.

I loved reading a story narrated by a male character, especially a teenager since almost every book I´ve read is narrated from a female point of view or from a male point of view where the author never seems to really make me believe the story is narrated by a man. So I was completely hooked while reading the story from Connor´s perspective. My Soul to Keep is a story full of fantasy, mystery and some romance touches which made it more appealing from my point view because I am sucker for love stories. My favourite character was Clarissa, I really preferred her over Jessica because she is really mysterious and I think she will play a bigger role in the next book.

I love the author´s writing style. It is refreshing, strong, full of humour and sarcasm with doses of reality. I had a blast reading it and I think I am addicted to Sean Hayden´s narrative.He has been able to create something refreshing and original in a genre where that´s almost completely impossible. I can´t wait to read the next book to see what is going to happen.

Review: Bad Things by R.K.Lilley

Title: Bad Things (Tristan & Danika #1) 

Author: R.K.Lilley 

Synopsis:Danika hasn’t had an easy life. Being insanely attracted to bad boys has never helped make it easier. One look at Tristan, and every brain cell she possessed went up in smoke. This man was trouble with a capital T. It was a given. She knew better. Bad boys were bad. Especially for her. Considering her history, it was crazy to think otherwise. So why did crazy have to feel so damn fine? For as long as she could remember, Danika had been focused on the future with single-minded purpose. Tristan came along and taught her everything there was to know about letting go, and living in the present. She fell, hard and deep. Of course, that only made her impact with the ground that much more devastating. Bad Things is about Tristan and Danika, and their train wreck of a love story. This series can be read as a standalone, or with the Up in the Air series.

Review:

I went to the Romance Authors & Readers Event signing in Edinburgh 3 weeks ago ready to meet and discover new authors. And that´s what I did with R.K.Lilley. I heard about her before going to the signing but never had the chance to read one of her books, so when she offered me a free signed copy of Bad Things for my blog to do some giveaways I was thrilled! But before giving it away I had to read it, so here are my thoughts.

Bad Things starts with a very catching and out of the ordinary beginning, I am not really a fan of insta love so I was relieved to discover this book was instead based on attraction rather than love. I loved how Tristan and Danika started their friendship and seeing how it evolved in something more. 

The story line is unexpected and I enjoyed the novelty of the characters, story and setting though in the end I had to give it a 4/5 because I kind of got tired of Tristan´s alpha male behaviour. 

Bad Things was an intense an emotional rollercoaster full of unexpected twists and a whole lot of sexual tension. I loved Danika, she is strong, sassy, smart and a refreshing  character. On the other hand, Tristan is what you may call trouble, he likes to party, he is the lead singer in a rock band and a club promoter in Vegas. 

I will definitely read the next books in the series to discover what happens with Tristan and Danika, one of the most explosives and mad for each other couples I´ve ever read.

Review:

Since I first started reading More Than This last summer, I´ve been waiting and expecting to read the story of Cam and Lucy. I´ve been eagerly waiting for More Than Forever to come out for what feels like ages ( when in fact I just had to wait a year) because I needed this book in my life.

With all this need and desire to read the fourth book in the More Series, a lot of expectations were made and as you know as readers when you have high expectations in a book, you are usually left down. But this was not the case for me, Jay McLean gave me everyhting I was expecting and more!

The story of Cam and Lucy starts in High School, which was a delightful surprise because after reading the teasers Jay posted in facebook about the story I thought the High School moments were flashbacks as she did in More Than Her and More Than Him. I really loved seeing their love evolve from friendship to LOVE. Their love was so unexpected, so fierce, it reached my heart so deep that I felt their hurt, their happiness. I was left broken, laughing, aching but above all LOVING.

I´ve always been Team Jake but after getting to know Cam better I am Team Cam forever ever!! He is handsome, caring, supportive, athletic, smart  and he unders Lucy´s love for reading, he just perfect for me xD 

On the other hand, Lucy is smart, funny, pretty, caring, she is strong for her family and loves deeply. Cam and Lucy are my faourite couple undoubtedly.

 I love Jay´s writing style and with the passing of books she has improved it. Fast paced narrative, easy to read, you get into the characters mind without difficulty and the time reading the book goes by easily.

Can´t wait to read More Than Enough, the next book in this wonderful series.
