My new e-books 2

Yay! I've just download another bunch of interesting books *sighs* my poor laptop probably won't last for long because it's soo full XD

Casey L. Bond: Reap

Well as a lover of dystopian books this caught my interest. Not just because story seems interesting but the cover is somewhat amazing and I usually don't like covers like this =)  But it could be another of those copy books which don't bring anything new. I hope this is not that case...

C.B. Stone: Rehabilitation

Another dystopia which sounds interesting and I really want to know how author used her story about believing in God and world where it is prohibited. I am not a believer but it doesn't mean I hate religion. I have a little Bible at home and love reading stories from Old Testament which are my favourite. But yeah I am afaraid that this would be religion propaganda so I hope it's not because that would totally spoil the book for me.

Stella Samiotou Fitzsimons: The Plantation

Surpisingly another dystopia. Humans as slaves of aliens... this is always interesting. I hope there would a lot of fighting against opressers, some rebelious things and etc because I like this in books (that's why I for example loved Delirium, the story went very well in second and third book).

So did you hear about any of these books? And if so did you read them? Did you liked them or not and why?

The Labyrinth

Original name:

Author: Dorian Zari

Translation:

Series: 

Number of pages: 419

Published: 2014 by Smashwords

Type: e-book

Genre: urban-fantasy, horror, mystery, supernatural, thriller

WOW! Just WOW!! First chapter was one of the best first chapters I've ever read!

The story was fast-pacing and thrilling and there wasn't much slow or bad parts. I also love author's sense of humour and even this wasn't humorous book I laughed a lot. Labyrinth also had some very original ideas and I am grateful for them because it's hard to make some (well this story is about four people with some powers, I know it doesn't sound original but it is) and be enjoyable or interesting at the same time. Another thing which totally got me was connection. Yeah it jumped a lot between characters and could be a little confusing but those little details which were mentioned there and were very important in other parts of story amazed me. I like complicated books which has more layers or tells more stories. And of course it was unpredictable.

Characters were interesting even they weren't too deep but the story definitely compensate it. At least they were realistic and unique and I was able to feel their emotions (that is very important for me).

But, of course, there are some negative points. Well I didn't mind some crazy stuff which was sometimes too much crazy for me or some not so logic things (it didn't disturb me much). I have a big problem with ending which wasn't of my taste. I quite didn't understand what happened and I felt like it was rushed and too complicated. And that I didn't know what was the story about, why it is happening, why they have powers and etc., for the whole book.  That quite disturbed me.

Overall? This book was awesome! I can't believe this is author's first book!! It was so thrilling that I couldn't stop reading (400 pages in four days!!)! And even I didn't like some things I am looking forward to author's next book.

Ratig: 8/10

This book was given to me by its author Dorian Zari. Thank you very much!!

The Escort Next Door

Original name:

Author: Clara James

Translation:

Series: The Escort Next Door, 1/3

Number of pages: 131

Published: 2013 by Romance Novel (U.S.)

Type: e-book

Genre: erotica, romance, fiction

Julia lives her happy life with successful husband and three kids or more specifically it just looks like she has a nice marriage. Her husband became distant and then she reveals his horrible secret. What is she supposed to do? Her decision is to change her life completely.

I really liked the author's writing style which was enjoyable and her choose of words but I can't tell this about story or characters.

Julia is an awful main character and she really got on my nerves. She was so stupid and naive that I wasn't surprised by her husband cheating her so much. Who would be? She was extremely passive silly housewife who hasn't think about anything just how not worthy for her sweetheart she is. Come on! Even he was a bastard who only terrorised her (women are not supposed to clean your mess or give you a sex whenever you want) she idealised him and even didn't think about anyone else in her whole life (for real? who the hell did raised her? the Amish people?). Other characters are plain, they are in story just for the story and you could easily replace them (Julia's friend for example it could be her mother, some stranger going around and giving her this stupid idea, whatever). There is also no chemistry between them and they are just blabbing around about nothing (yeah insert some stupid conversations here). Even the plot idea sounds interesting the characters killed it absolutely.

The story is cheap and has so many holes that it's quite surprising it still somewhat works (well not so much for me obviously).

1) Her husband just had a billions of emails from his escorts and one night stands. How convenient! Did he never heard that it's super easy to get into your mailbox?

2) Divorcing. This was super extra problem here because he could get kids. I don't know how it's working in America but in my nation kids usually get with mother and there must be a really big problem if not. I mean Julia could live with her friend ok? And finding job I mean normal job it's not such a problem. If she really wants she could find a job before divorcing (normal job) and cover it up like she need to be with people or something for her or whatever. But no! Not in this story she must be an escort because author wanted it! Screw the logic!

3) Which friend would give you this kind of job idea???? Working as a pole dancer or stripper? Really? Not helping her with money or just taking her to her house but this?

4) At first Julia insist about pole dancing but suddenly she is okey with escorting which is not believable.

5) Escorting sounds like awesome fun and you can get a huge amount of money... Come on! It's not a fun! It's dangerous! You can get raped, beaten, kidnapped, killed, whatever, especially if you are doing it on your own like Julia (nobody knew where she was or what she was doing). And of course having nice, beautiful and humble client is a complete rubbish (nice man are not waiting for you at corners).

I might be digging to much into it but for me story needs a logic and common sense and The Escort is really missing it. It's just a fairy tail for old women who loves to look around in pink glasses but sorry world just don't work like this.

Sex scenes were kinda ok but I am really fed up with everything going awesome and perfect. 

Overall. I've read worst than this but the optimism about this kind of job really annoyed me.

My new e-books 1

Hi,

I love e-books even the real book is just a real book and nothing can replace it but I download a huge amount of freebies and slowly stocking them in my kobodesktop (just love to open it and watch how much I have XD). So this is about my newsies.

If you read those books don't be afraid and write what you think about them because it could help me to choose what to read next (you know I have a little problem about what to choose because having about 600 books waiting-to-be-read is not really funny XD). Of course some great recommendations are appreciated!

Lauren Stewart: Second Bite

 

I didn't pick this little story for myself I got it when I sign for newsletters from author (or I had a chance to download it so why not?) but I like the cover and of course the vampire theme. Annotation sounds interesting but I'm afraid of stereotypes and clichés. It's really short so did author made characters well in so few pages? And what about story? Not sure but at least this is not long so if I wouldn't like it I won't struggle much.


T.K. Leigh: A Beautiful Mess 

 

 OK I really don't know why I picked this book. Maybe because somebody recommended it to me as a good romance-erotic book so I probably give a chance to it. Unfortunately many romance books with erotica bore a sh*t out of me so I really hope this is different. Well at least story sounds interesting.


Rachel M. Humphrey-D'aigle: Demon Isle Witches 

  

This box set sounds the most enjoyable. I love witches, I love supernatural, I love mystery. And it's three books in one which is good because I don't like unfinished series (well yeah still not whole series but more than only one book =)).
