Review: Forced Autonomy, Phase 3 by Lila Felix

Forced Autonomy, Phase 3 by Lila Felix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ok, here we are at book 3 and oh boy how things have changed! Petra, Law, Creek, Lauren, Leah, and Shep have some BIG issues that come up in this installment. If we thought things were a bit shady in Phase 2, I was taken aback with the new information I received in Phase 3. Things have taken a new turn and are getting really interesting! Again though, there were some smaller editing errors. The errors aren't anything that will make you stop reading, just annoying to me. I hope that Lila Felix can have an editor run through the books or a beat reader to help her with these. Despite the errors, this installment is definitely a 4 STAR book.

Review: Finding Dandelion by Lex Martin

Finding Dandelion by Lex Martin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Finding Dandelion is book 2 in the series and is Jax and Dani’s turn for the spotlight. In this installment, we get back to a lot of the same friends that we know and love from Dearest Clementine. We also get closer to some of the background characters, including Darrin. Finding Dandelion has the fun, college atmosphere filled with young love, drama, easy emotions and all the things that we tend to lose the older we get. I think the story line was just as good here as in book 1. The only reason that I don’t give this book 4.5 stars is due to the narration. It is a dual narrated book, which I love, but the male narrator just didn’t do it for me. He wasn’t a bad narrator, far from it actually, but it sounded like maybe he had a cold or something? I’m not entirely sure what it was, but there was something that just didn’t sit right. The female narration was great like the authors’ work, so overall I give 4 SOLID STARS.

Tour & Review~Sweetest Treat by AR Von

SWEETEST TREAT

by AR Von

SYNOPSIS

Cursed by an evil witch,

Meesh and her brother Mitch

will now crave sweets forever.

In Meesh's case,

it's barely contained until the one day

she walks into the new sweet shop in town.

Meesh encounters something

that she craves more than sugar.

(This story is an adult spin on the popular Hansel & Gretel fairy tale, Gretel's life. Hansel's will follow soon...)

MY THOUGHTS

I lucked out and was able to get a review copy of this book. Now, I love fairytales, and while I have a couple twisted fairytale books on my kindle, I haven't had the opportunity to read them yet. So with this being my first one, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleased with the result. This is a twisted fairytale of Hansel and Gretel. Cursed with the need for sweet treats, they fall in love with a new candy store that has been opened….and the owner is extremely sweet himself. Being a short story, of course everything is moving at a quick pace, but AR Von was able to achieve the quick pace without the story seeming rushed. I think that balance is very important with short stories, and it's a big part of my rating for short stories. This was a very good short story!! Absolutely 4 STARS!
