Leveled by Jay Crownover
4.0
3.5 Stars
I actually read my first physically book (Well, Novella) and it felt so good to be reading again. Leveled was a great, fun, entertaining and completely sexy read. Jay Crownover wrote 2 non-stereotyped gay guys who fell in love. My biggest issue was probably the editing, something I've notice the US publisher does badly due to reading previous books they've published.

Under the Lights by Abbi Glines
4.0
3.5 STARS!
I was really looking forward to the second instalment in 'The Field Party' series since I loved the first book so much. Under The Lights is told in 3 perspectives: Willa, Gunner and Brady. In all honesty I was very much worried with the book being told in 3 POV's, mainly because I knew we'd be getting a love triangle and they're only good when they're amazingly written. And Abbi Glines presented hers well enough that I did like it. Willa is a fiercely loyal character, same with Brady. But Gunner. Gunner is misunderstood. He's trying to find himself in a place he knows he no longer belongs and that's just....sad.
But there was one thing that took from the entire book - It's so damn dramatic. And that's saying something as Abbi does drama so well. It wasn't just one thing coming out at a time, it was more one thing happened and then 2 seconds later something even more dramatic is revealed. I got lost in the fictionalised soap opera I was reading. And not in a good way.

Walk the Edge by Katie McGarry
4.0
3.5 STARS!
Honestly? Not my favourite Katie McGarry novel but I am so invested in this series. I love finally having a YA book that is based on a Motorcycle club environment. It's gritty and dark and dramatic, which is everything I love in a book.
Breanna was a likeable character, however, her family really put me off her all together. They were selfish and seemingly childish. It seemed like everything weighed down on Breana and that made her personality...dreary. When she gets with Razor, not everyone is okay with it. Which is understandable but I found that Breanna got to be the person she needed to be to survive. Just like Rachel after meeting Isaiah in Crash Into You.
The ending of the first book in this series was abrupt so I worried the same may happen in this book, but Katie McGarry gave Razor a beautiful ending. One that had a lot of meaning to himself and Olivia.

Ladies Man by Katy Evans

I got bored or the story, nothing was happening with either characters and sadly the sexual tension just made it worse.

Manwhore, Volume 1 by Katy Evans
3.0
Nothing special. Just your typical predictable New Adult novel. Originally I loved what I read of the sample from iBooks, the main character was feisty and would do anything to further her career but in a professional and classy way. However, she kind of lost herself throughout the book and that didn't sit well for me.
NEVER change yourself for a man.

While it Lasts by Abbi Glines

I honestly just don't care for either Cage and Eva. Their relationship was pathetic and I see no reason in reading their continued story in Book 5
The Mistake by Elle Kennedy
3.0
These books do nothing for me, in fact I'm not a fan of Elle Kennedy's writing in this series which is weird as I love her Man x Man New Adult novels co-written with Sarina Bowen. For me these are way too cheesy.
The Probability of Violet and Luke by Jessica Sorensen
3.0
I just don't think Violet and Luke's story is all that good, it's too dragged out and certainly does not need 3 books!
What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick
DNF'd at page 68.....
I honestly just could not get into this book, I loved My Life Next Door but for some reason I just couldn't connect to the main character and the writing felt forced. And If I am being honest then I doubt I've missed very much since it doesn't have the best reviews ever. But thanks the Electric Monkey for sending me it to review.

One of my favourite things about this series is the perfect blend between high end mystery and sultry, sexy romance. It's dramatic and always leaves you wanting more, however, there are some things that I can't get over and that is the predictability of the mystery, I guessed it all within 100 pages of the book and that's not what I want. But Noelle is a bitch and her relationships with those around her are everything to me!
