Review: F*ck Love - Tarryn Fisher - January 2016 Have you ever read a book that is confusing and odd and even after you finish it, you are still left wondering what you read or the point of the story? As readers who have read Tarryn Fisher's books before, you know that they can often be mindf*ck novels and they are twisted. This book is one that I have had on my Kindle for a while and cleaning up my device, I figured to read it since this week has been a hard reading week since not a lot seemed to grab my interest. This book starts with a double date of Kit and his partner Della and Helena and Neil.  Kit and Helena are standing in line waiting for their food when Kit hands Helena a crayon, this sends her into an alternative universe where she is with Kit and they have two beautiful children. During the dream, Helena starts to feel a strong love for Kit but of course, she wakes up to realize it was just a dream. The feelings and the yearning desire for the life she had in the futur...

Review: Morgue: A Life in Death - Dr. Vincent DiMaio and Ron Franscell - May 2016 On the lunchbreaks at work, you can often find people reading and every now and again one of their books might catch your eye.  A work colleague of mine was reading Morgue: A Life if Death and it sounded interesting especially since lately I have been back on a death buzz as such after reading a few more mysteries and a non-fiction book written by a ME called Do My Cats Eat my Eyeballs ? which was questions about death. I have always been fascinated with the forensics side of death and always thought it would have been an amazing career to have gone into though of course I have a weak stomach, so I wouldn't have been able to handle all the gross smells etc. In this book, we follow through the career of Dr. Vincent DiMaio and some of the famous cases that he has worked on from the shooting of Trayvon Martin when he was killed by George Zimmerman. I remembered hearing this case as it made the news in N...

Review: Claimed by a King - Book #1 The King Brothers - Lisa Lang Blakeney - December 2016 I have to admit when I first saw this book with the title Claimed by a King, I was going in blind and thought that it might be a royalty-based book. However, the King part was, in fact, the main male lead's surname. Camden King is 1/3 of the business. This is the story of how Camden King's heart softened and how he fell head over heels in love with his assistant Jade though of course, he would deny it heavily. The book starts with Jade having some time off and then opening her hotel door to Camden standing there demanding why she is having to time off. The pair then have a night of wild hot sex. The next day they return back to their normal lives but of course, the environment has shifted and despite the pair of them denying their feelings right the way through the whole novel and yes, I have to admit I did get frustrated with it myself as I was like Hurry Up and admit your feelings for J...
