November 9 by Colleen Hoover

Image
 This is the fourth book I have read by Colleen Hoover and I after say November 9 blew me away and was hooked. The story is about Fallon and Ben and you hear from both sides. Fallon was hurt in house fire on the November 9 and she meeting her dad for breakfast and also blames him for the scars she has from the fire. Then out of the blue Ben comes to sit with her and says he her boyfriend. Fallon can not believe what’s happening. There was some twists I did not see coming and when it came to Ben Mum story that hit home a little and made me feel very emotional definitely a tearjerker this story. I must say Colleen Hoover is becoming my favourite author and I can’t wait to read more of her books . I definitely felt like I was on rollcoster with both of the characters and warmed to them both straight the way . This is a lovely story and you will be hooked straight away and definitely recommend it. 5 stars

The issue of Faerie by Emma Bradley

Image
 This is a beautiful book cover. The issue of Faerie is the third book in the series. You can read this book without reading the  other two books. The issue of Faerie has a lot of action going through the book and lots of suspense  that I did not see coming. This is a contemporary fantasy for young adults. I really enjoyed reading this book and my favourite characters was Demi and old Tara the tree trunk.  I definitely will be reading the two books before this  so I can see what the other quests where like that Demi had to do and her life before. I love the chemistry between Demi and Taz and this story kept me on the edge of my seat because I wanted to found out if Demi, her friends , queen and queenie if they beat the old King from taking over the Faerie world. Thank you Emma  Bradley for letting me review her book . 5 stars.

The Deadly Shallows by Dan Pettrey

Image
I really like the front cover lot. Deadly shallows is face pacing and  went straight into action from the first page which is really good. The story keeps you gripped till the end. The themes in the book is suspense, romance , Christianity and loss . The story is about mass shooting in a high school on there graduation and also about the romance between Brooke and Noah them getting through this tragedy.  I have not read the first or second book of the series but I feel I did not need to because of Dania Pettrey writing style and how she got straight into the new story line from the first page. Definitely recommend this book and will read the other two books from the series.  5 Stars Thank you  @danipettrey @bethany_house @lovebookstours  @igbooktours for letting me part of this tour and for letting me review this book.
