{Review}{Giveaway} The Hidden Library by Heather Lyons

Sometimes, the rabbit hole is deeper than expected . . .

Alice Reeve and Finn Van Brunt have tumbled into a life of secrets. Some secrets they share, such as their employment by the clandestine organization known as The Collectors’ Society. Other secrets they carry within them, fighting to keep buried the things that could change everything they think they know.

On the hunt for an elusive villain who is hell-bent on destroying legacies, Alice, Finn, and the rest of the Society are desperate to unravel the mysteries surrounding them. But the farther they spiral down this rabbit hole, the deeper they fall into secrets that will test their loyalties and pit them against enemies both new and old.

Secrets, they come to find, can reveal the deadliest of truths.

*Swwwwooooonnnn*

I am still and will always be in love with Heather's writing and her ability to pull a story together that makes you FEEL all the FEELS. No matter if she is writing about superpowers or tales that were long since forgotten. 

Pulling Twain off my shelf, blowing off the dust and diving back into his story gave me a sense of longing and nostalgia that holds a deep place in my heart. Reading Carroll's semi-creepy tales about mad hatters, sneaky felines, and killer cards just gives you a sense of wonder and imagination like nothing else. I am also still convinced that man was dropping acid in order to dream up that fantasyland.

When we enter The Hidden Library, we pick right back up from where The Collector's Society left us. 

Alice is still there doing badassery things with her badass self and I fall back in love with her. The way she talks, moves, her determination, perseverance and everything else about her makes me want to do a little happy dance that I finally found a female character that I don't want to throat punch!

With this book, we get a nice surprise of being inside Finn's head. The reader gets a deeper, emotional, look inside of him and what he is really all about. I liked him in TCS but I absolutely LOVED him in THL! I am glad Heather decided to put his POV in this book, it was a good choice!!.

I am not going to get into the specifics of this story or TCS because I would hate to ruin the books for anyone reading them for the first time (I am also at a loss for what to say other than YOU BETTER READ THIS BOOK).

 Just let me say that by the end of it, you are going to look a lot like this...

Find Heather and give her this look... 

And then when she laughs and thinks it is funny that you are in emotional turmoil, you will want to just... 

There are a lot of curse words I want to use but I am going to contain them and get right with God, while I am silently cursing out everyone until the next book is out... 

If I get arrested, I am blaming Heather...

Maybe I will meet Alice in my new padded cell...



We can all join and discuss theories until our heads EXPLODE with wonder...

But seriously, this book will rip every emotion out of you, grind them up, and spit them back out at you like a possessed blender. You won't know which feeling you feel but you will have a lot of them flying at you.
And finally, you will hate/love the author until she does it again in the next book!!

If you haven't read The Collector's Society, then I don't know what you are still doing here reading this... 

You need to go...

GO...

GET OUT OF HERE...

READ THE COLLECTOR'S SOCIETY...





NOW!!!


If you have read TCS, and are still here but haven't read The Hidden Library yet, then I just have one thing to say to you...

{Cover Reveal} Under The Influence by L.B Simmons

Dalton,

I loved you once. A love I thought irrevocable. A love I

mistakenly believed could transcend both time and circumstance. Under the

influence of my dimwitted, naïve, traitorous heart, I became intoxicated with

what I now know was simply a figment of my self-indulgent imagination. So drunk

on the feeling, I couldn’t see what was right in front of my face. So foolishly

enamored, I blindly followed my heart into the depths of an emotion that would

ravage me. 

Years later, I know now what I wish I knew then. I am

stronger. Smarter. Tougher. I will not allow myself to be broken again. 

I loved you.

I raged for you.

I wept for you.

And now, I’m letting you go.

Author’s Note:  Under

the Influence is the journey of two childhood friends that spans the course of

five pivotal years in their lives. It is a story about their discovery of true

friendship as it blossoms into first love, their experience of crucial sacrifice

and ultimate betrayal, and their endurance of agonizing heartbreak on the way

to finding lasting redemption.

When a trio of demons kidnap Vdarra Jansen, her normal life is ripped away. Her abductors claim she is the “lost heiress” of the Underworld, and the commander of the mighty Army of Duemos.

Former archangel Jacob will do anything to bring back his lost love’s memories. But if he succeeds, it could mean the end of the world. Torn between love and duty, Jacob will do whatever it takes to save her.

Jacob and Vdarra must learn to trust each other, and push aside old hurts to find their way. They are in a race to find the one thing that will decide Vdarra’s, and the world’s, fate – the lost Seal of Solomon. It will mean choosing between innocent lives ...and their hearts.

{Review} Clear: A Death Trippers Novel by Jessica Fucking Park

Blurb:

Stella Ford’s grasp on reality is already loose, and it’s about to come undone.

When the college junior flees Chicago and leaves her toxic family behind, she heads for coastal Maine to find the one person who brought her peace years ago: Sam Bishop. But the Sam she once knew now has painful secrets.  

Stella is determined to heal them both. Healing, however, is a challenge when the walls of her everyday existence collapse. And when Sam’s best friend is his worst enemy.

When the line between life and death blurs.

When an end is just a beginning.

When lust and rage rule.

Yet during extraordinary chaos, there can be extraordinary love, even if that love comes with a twist.

Welcome to death tripping.

A thriller, a paranormal, and a passionate romance, CLEAR crosses genres and breaks boundaries.

I am having a hard time writing this review for some unknown reason. I have been reading paranormal books since the appearance of Twilight. 

Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Aliens, etc... I have read them all! 

Some were boring and others were so amazing I never wanted them to end. 

But...

Clear is a story all on its own. The whole concept is unique and a little weird but it is something that nobody has read before. When I was reading it, I felt like I took a trip on acid and couldn't figure out WTF was going on. 

With other paranormals, I knew the basics of how something happened, how people became who they were... Vampires are bitten, Werewolves are too. Some have it in their DNA... etc. etc. etc. But since Death Tripping is a new phenomenon, I had no idea what I was going to get.. Still don't know how the original person death tripped. Is it in their DNA? Did they just come back because of will power?? I have so many different scenarios running through my head and I still have no concrete answer. 

I went into this story completely blind. I didn't read the teasers, I didn't read the synopsis, I didn't read anything leading up to it because I wanted keep my mind open in order to really experience all of it.

 All I knew was JP wrote it and that is pretty much all I needed to know (I mean come on, it's Jessica freaking Park)

The story itself is presented in layers. Jessica gives you little tidbits here and there and then in the end everything is... well, you will have to read it for yourself to see where everything leads. I am not giving anything away... But I will give a hint...

This was my face when I got to the end.... 

My mind was conjuring different scenarios of what was going to happen and it was a complete surprise all the way to the end. I loved how I never figured out what was going to happen and I loved how I was still surprised after every chapter. You will go through a full range of emotions throughout the entire book.
I was literally hanging off the edge of my seat (or bed), I was scared, I was horny as fuck, I was OMGing, I was crying... I was, I was, I was... You are getting the gist... 
I had so many different feels and at one point I screamed... 

TOO MANY FEELS Jessica, I CANT TAKE IT!!!



Scared the shit out of my husband and he thought I was a little psycho but once I explained what was happening, he still thought I was fucking nuts. But thats ok because I jumped his bones later and he accepted my craziness ;)..

I was very consumed in this story and even when I felt like my mind was going to explode, I still kept on reading so I could see what was going to happen. I needed to know, I needed to keep my emotions in a never ending roller coaster because I wanted the FEELS... 

ALL THE FEELS! 

It was perfection, but I didn't have any doubts because Jessica fucking Park wrote the damn thing. And you can tell she wrote it, it had her quirky personality and everything you have come to expect and love with her books.

Even if you are not a fan of paranormal, I still say give this book a whirl because you will not be left disappointed in everything you experience. 

It is fast-paced, crazy, fucked up, confusing, but an all around complete and total mind fuck that will leave you scratching your head and wanting to dive right back in to make sure you "got" everything that happened, and to experience it all over again.

I give this mind fuck 5STARS and I urge you to get your hands on it and devour it ASAP!!!
