Goodreads Giveaway for this book also! HERE
Even though this is a new series, if I hadn't read The Phoenix Pack series, I would be pretty confused. That being said...I am so glad I saw this. I loved her other books and this feels just like the others. The others were HOT! I don't think I have reviewed many sexy sex time books since I have been here on Booklikes. This will be fun!
I really need to stick to doing these every Wednesday....but despite missing every other week, I'm finally actually doing this on a Wednesday. I probably should have typed this a few days ago BUT I like to procrastinate and wait until the last minute.
If you didn't know T5W was created by gingerreadslainey and every Wednesday there's a topic in which we choose our top 5 to it. If you want to join, check out the discussion page!
I'm going to be honest here, there are A TON of books I am never going to read. So I chose the first five that popped into my head.
1) Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James
Do I even need to say why I'm not going to read this?
2) Beautiful Disaster by Jamie Mcguire
I have actually tried reading this book when it first came out, but I wasn't feeling it. A few years later, I watched a video about the book and the abusive relationship between the two characters. The women talking about the book went into such great detail and because of her, I will never read this book.
3) Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
I know I know. Everyone loves this series and I'm just here like I ain't never gonna read it. Just like the other two books, I've actually owned this book, tried reading it, and never got into it. It just doesn't seem like something I'm going to get to any to anytime.
4) The Selection by Keira Cass
The only thing I hear people say about this book is how annoying the main character is. I get annoyed easily with characters and if America Singer (I think that's her name) is annoying as they say, I'm never going to start this.
5) Pheonix by Elizabeth Richards
I was actually contemplating reading this after I finished Black City but I really could not stand that book. I thought about it and I'm just never going to read it.
I actually had other books on this list (The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey, Allegiant by Veronica Roth, and one of the books of The House of Night series but I cannot remember where I left off in that series...). SO many books, so little time to read them.
Hey my lovelies, I have just finished reading Misty Falls by Joss Stirling and decided to write my first review of 2015 on it.
I have been a big fan of Joss Stirling for a awhile now. It has beeen a sort of tradition for the last four Christmases that I receive one of her books. I got hooked on Finding Sky, when I read a excerpt in some sort of magazine, I instantly begged my parents for it and received it for Christmas possibly in 2010 or 2011. Since then Finding Sky, Stealing Phoenix and Seeking Crystal have been a part of my favorites, they have now been joined by Misty Falls. Even though the previous novels in the series have been predominately about the Benedict brothers finding their soulfinders. This fourth one could be classed as a side novel, as it is not directly linked to a Benedict brother finding love, (Even though it is in there) They are put on the back
burner for Misty's story.
Goodreads synopsis: Misty is a one-girl disaster zone. Born with a Savant ‘gift’ that means she can never tell a lie, her compulsive truth-telling gets her into trouble wherever she goes.
So when she meets Alex: gorgeous, confident, and impossibly charming, Misty instantly resolves to keep her distance … Someone so perfect could never be hers, surely?
But a dark shadow has fallen across the Savant community. A serial killer is stalking young people who have these special mental powers. Soon one of them will be taken to the edge of death … and beyond
In the first couple of chapters I was waiting for the umpff that really kicks a story into gear and from then on. I enjoyed myself, finding myself not wanting to put it down for the final chapters. I enjoyed the small twist, although it did seem fairly obvious who it was after I found out (hope that makes sense). I enjoyed the (new and old) characters, especially the ones that have returned, which were mainly Zed and Sky, but I enjoyed the book immensely and I am rating 4.5 out of 5 stars. I have to admit I did not like the way Alex forgave his parents I mean really? Your parents abandon you for 13years, nut now they’re here, and there would be no bitterness at all? Maybe that’s just me, but who knows? What do you think of Misty Falls? Send me a comment in my askbox (x). See you next time my lovelies, when I am going to review Before I fall by Lauren Oliver, which will come out on the 9thJanuary 2015.
