My Brothers Best Friend by Linzvonc
5.0
I'll admit, I have a soft spot for this book. I read it on Inkitt a while back, and was thrilled to receive the final, edited copy as an ARC (yes ladies, be jealous!)
I'm a sucker for forbidden romances, and I'm a sucker for miscommunication. Let me clear this up: the hero has been in love with the heroine pretty much since the moment he first saw her. But he couldn't have her. She has had a crush on him since forever, but she couldn't have him. The frustrating thing is, if they had just talked, they would have known each others feelings, but my god, I love it when they don't talk! I don't know, books like this are just my vice. I love them
And of course, it's littered with the usual Linz Vonc style that we've all come to know and love at this point. Is the hero sometimes an *insert bad word here* (don't want the review being removed) of course he is. But isn't that what we're all secretly wanting to read anyway?
Another highly recommended book from me, and I look forward to the next one

Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton
4.0
First half of this book, I absolutely adored. The cat and mouse was done to perfection, and the haunted mansion was an eerie side plot that I couldn't wait to explore further.
Unfortunately, the ghosts seemed to take a back seat, and a bunch of coincidences happened.
Adeline's grandma just so happened to grow up with the guy who made her aware to the Society. His dad just so happened to be responsible for her great grandma's murder.
Then, if Zade found out that Adeline was already well known to The Society, why did they only take an interest when he was around? If she was due to be sold to the skin trade, wny did they not take her as a child, since they apparently love children?
All in all, a good book, and I've recommended to a few people but there were just some plot holes and inconsistencies that annoyed me. For example, zade moved to the city 6 months ago to pursue a new lead, but yet went to the haunted fair every year?

Twisted Love by Ana Huang
3.0
It was okay.
There was a lot of telling, rather than showing.
The author told us they were talking through the night. She told us that Alex had this person investigated and that person investigated. She told us he was this ruthless businessman. But she never showed us. What did they talk about? What was the consequences and aftermath of Liam being destroyed? How did he do it?
Also, I got major Christian Grey vibes from Alex. I have read a *lot* of books, and Alex was so determined to he this kinky, hard-core, "you can't handle me" sex God... and it just wasn't. He was hard and fast, with the occasional choking going on. That's incredibly tame for someone who would only sleep with certain women because they're the only ones who "can handle him"

Linzvonc has done it again!
The book is very fast paced, but it works well. It's the third in the Archer High series and I'd recommend reading the other 2 first, as there are references to characters from previous books, which helps bring this one to life.
Full of angst, steam and Suspense what more could a girl want!
