Solitary Sinners by Elle Thorpe (Review #221)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE SAINT VIEW PRISON SERIES, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK 2. CHECK OUT LOCKED UP LIARS FOR THE REVIEW OF BOOK 1!

“In the middle of a prison riot, the psychopath who murdered my sister holds me hostage. Soulless eyes black, bloodied knife in his hand, my name a whispered threat on his lips. My only hope is the three men fighting for my heart…and their lives.

Separated in the chaos, flames surround Rowe, the growly prison guard who acts like he hates me but always has my back. Liam, my lawyer on the outside. I've only just realized the depth of my feelings for the boy I once despised in high school. I dragged him into all of this and now I need his help more than ever. And cornered by violent criminals is Heath, the prisoner I've fallen for more with every day he's been incarcerated. I know he's innocent and I'm here to prove it, but I won't get the chance if he doesn't make it through the riot with his life. 

I came here for one thing but with new prisoners comes new threats. As sins are exposed and secrets unravel, one thing becomes apparent. The killer may not be as obvious as the man with his fingers wrapped around my
throat.”

Review:
Oh my god, talk about a cliffhanger! A prison riot??? How exciting. The stakes and tension are high but don’t worry, our MC is well looked after *wink wink.*

So, the first book I think we focused a lot on Liam, not that he doesn’t deserve it because I enjoyed him immensely. But I think in this one, we delve deeper into Rowe, and more importantly, we start to explore the budding romance between not just Rowe and Mae, but also Rowe and HEATH!!!! How unexpected and fun. 

And listen, I think the whole baseball game scene was by far my favorite, that will go into my own personal hall of fame if you ask me. Overall, this book stepped up on the last one; more smut and surprisingly more plot too. Along with Liam and Mae, I was interested to know who killed her sister and why. 

Some of the suspects though were a bit weird to me and not very well thought out, but I can give it a pass, given that really the murder mystery is more of a side quest here. Also, because I cannot deal with another cliffhanger, I’m already reading the third book.

Let me know your own thoughts and feels down below in the comments and I’ll see you real soon!

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (Review #20)

"Mara Dyer doesn't think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. It can. She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed. There is. She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love. She's wrong." Review: This is a book you simply have to read. It's probably a part of my top ten favorite books list. Mara is this girl who just lost her friends and boyfriend in a terrible, but also peculiar, accident and now people who tick her off - and who she's attracted to (cough-cough-Noah-cough-cough) - are in her powerful line of fire... It's a tantalizing tale that will have you (for a lack of a better cliche) gripping the edge of your seat!!

And then there's Eli, a fellow insomniac who becomes her nocturnal tour guide. With an endless supply of long summer nights between them, almost anything can happen...." Review: I was a Sarah Dessen - virgin. This was my first time reading her work and it was inexhaustibly fantastic. I couldn't put it down. literally I stayed up all night reading this novel, maybe just how Dessen wanted me to. that is why I'm writing this at such an ungodly hour. Wh...

Throne of Glass By Sarah J. Maas (Review #81)

"In a world without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the vicious king who rules from his throne of glass but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King's Champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien. The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. And a princess from a faraway land will befriend her. But something evil dwells in the castle - and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival - and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world." Review: I thought this book was very well done. My mother loved it so much; she's contemplating getting a portrait of Celaena on her body. I always love seeing women who are independent and overwhelmingly bad ass, and if I was a character in a fantas...
