Happy Endings

There is so much I could say about this book. Started it on the way to work. Tried my hardest not to laugh but eventually, I just couldn't hold it in. Miles is hilarious. Havoc also hilarious. The side characters are colourful and well thought out. Backstories are dropped in non drag me down ways. I have a thing about italics so for that reason any flashbacks were hard for me to read but good all the same. Basically I loved this book.

What made this book sing beyond the humor was the main plot. As the blurb states 15 people drop dead at one time and Miles, whose real name I refuse to type because I won't do him like that even though he's fictional, is literally the only one who can help. It goes through the type of set up and hints/plot devices that I expect from a good suspense novel. Keeps you guessing. Trying to figure out which character is the villain or if the villain will even be exposed in this book. Is there a traitor amongst them or something much more deadly. 

Breaking Barriers



This is the first in the Hart Medical Center series. I went into this expecting one thing because of the blurb. It started off like that promise was going to be upheld. I was genuinely drawn in for a while until the accident finally happened. I was even able to look past a good bit of editing errors. But after that the book kind of sunk.

Firstly the editing, which I usually try to ignore, was too numerous in its problems. Missing words, wrong words, repeated phrases. Things like the author reworded a sentence and forgot to delete the part that wasn't needed anymore. If you're the type of person that cares about these things this book isn't for you. I've written reviews on books with editing issues and not even mentioned it but even for me, this was way, way too much.

Lost Wolves Series


I definitely have mixed feelings about this series. I started off liking it but then I found myself losing interest then getting it back then losing it. Just all over the place. That being said let's start with book one.

Omega in the Shadows:

The idea of an assassin and the man sent to kill the assassin falling in love was a good premise. The opening scene where the two main characters meet, Elijah and Rowan, was great. Even with the death of a partner that you could see a mile away. The tension was great. The pacing wasn't too off. I enjoyed it but I didn't more than enjoy it. Something about it was one note. Like I understood Elijah and his backstory but he was an established assassin so I didn't feel his continuous need to prove he was better than any alpha. He'd done it a million times over already and they all knew what he was capable of.
