Heart Grow Fonder - Cristy Rey | Review | BethanyReadsBooks

4.5 out of 5 stars. 

I loved this story, it's told in the alternate prospectives of Jessie and Boyd two people who i would say aren't best suited for relationships due to their inner demons that i think they help each other fight throughout this book.  (i don't want to go into too much depth with the plot because i think it would be great to read it fresh but the blurb is here) 

Okay so i'm going to start off by saying that i loved Jessie, i thought she was well developed and although she appeared a little dependant i liked her attitude, there was just something really likable about her. 

and Boyd.... I will praise the author, Christy Rey is from Miami and i don't know much about whether she had lived in England before or whether she had someone help but the English terms were correct ( i.e Flat instead of apartment) and small dialogue things that really just shaped this character to be who he was, being from England i often find myself annoyed at authors who misinterpret British culture or language and i was very happy reading this to realise that the small details had been looked at and were accurate. 

The Gay best friend Cliche can be done either right or wrong... and in this book it was done right, it was there, it wasn't hidden but he was just an average guy ( well as average as a movie-star can get) and i loved that, i loved that Jessie and Tyler's relationship was about love and respect and friendship rather than his sexual orientation, somthing i think we can all respect.

The reason i didn't give this book 5 stars is purely because i found the writing style to be confusing at first, however this wasn't a major issue and i soon grew comfortable with it, hence only the half star docking instead of a full.

All in all i would recommend this book, its a great book to read this summer should you be looking for a summer read

OBSIDIAN (LUX 1) - JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something... unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don't kill him first, that is. 

okay, so i'm just going to say that this is a book that i can most definitely add to my favourite books of all time . i loved this book and the characters in it. 

i must admit that at first i thought it was a bit hyped up but man was that  not true, this book encompasses many things and while i'm not going to give spoilers because why ruin it? go girl power! 

i have to say when i picked up this books i was a bit like aliens? WTF? but the way Jennifer has presented the Luxen is amazing and refreshing. 

this review is going to be short because i honestly don't think anything i can say will do it justice 

the characters are amazing and realistic (and there definitely isnt any of that love at first sight) well as realistic as aliens can be. in all honesty i just think you should pick up this book and decide for yourself, but i think i might be a bias. 

as my mother would say dont like it lump it.. no idea where lump it came from but yeah, i enjoyed the book very much and hope you will to.  can't wait to read the rest of the series.. promise there will be more detailed reviews then ;)
