Release Blitz: Dead Pretty by Samantha Towle + 5+* review




Title: Dead Pretty 
Author: Samantha Towle
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Release Date: June 24, 2020


From New York Times bestselling author Samantha Towle comes a gripping psychological thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Synopsis

I’d once believed that nothing would equal the pain of losing my parents. 
I was wrong.
I had barely even begun to process their deaths when it started.
The love notes, flowers, gifts … all anonymously left on my porch.
Then, I opened my door to a dead bird.
At first, I thought it had died naturally.
I knew that wasn’t the case when I found my neighbor’s cat the next day.
Then, the murders started. 
The victims … women who looked eerily similar to me.
I had a stalker. A murderous one.
And I had no clue who he was. 
He never showed me his face. 
Not even when he carved his final message into me.
I survived that night. But my life was over. It had ended the moment Tobias Ripley’s infatuation with me began.
So, I changed my name and moved away.
Now, I live a life of solitude. I don’t make connections with anyone. 
Until Jack Canti walks into my life with his sharp eyes and easy smiles.
Only Jack isn’t the man he says he is. 
And when the murders start again, I’m left wondering if it’s a copycat. 
Or worse … 
What if Tobias wasn’t the real killer after all … and the murderer has been right here with me all along?

My review
*ARC received in return for an honest review

WOW, this deserves waaaay more than 5 stars!!!  
Hands down, this has to be one of the best books I've read this year, so far. It is definitely up there amongst my top favourite reads of all time. 

I'm a huge fan of Samantha Towle's words and I can honestly say that she has outdone herself with book. I was hooked as soon as I began reading and couldn't put it down, it was so good and sooo HOT!!!! My head is all over the place and I now have a massive book hangover!

Dead Pretty is a psychological thriller and unlike anything this author has written before, I really hope that this is the first of many like this as I thought it was amazing. 
The plot twists came from nowhere. I honestly thought I’d had it all figured it out but nope, I was wrong. The way she has you on the edge of your seat throughout, thinking you have it sussed, before yanking the rug out from under you with jaw dropping plot twists is both genius and clever. I definitely didn't see it coming! 

So, if you love a good psychological thriller with plenty of red hot passion that burns up the pages and a plot twist that has your heart racing, leaves you reeling with your mind blown and wanting more, then this is definitely the book for you. 

There is so much more I could say but I'd rather you find out for yourself just how amazing this book really is. I really can’t recommend it highly enough!!!

My rating...

Title: Exhale and Move On 
Author: KL Shandwick
Standalone: LGBT MMF MFM Bi  

Synopsis 

When you've lived the reckless rock and roll lifestyle Rick Fars has it's no surprise to learn he's been there, done that, and in Rick's case he's most likely left his t-shirt behind on some woman's bedroom floor. As a wealthy playboy bachelor Rick's never been taken by any woman, but he's taken plenty and often.
Outwardly Rick is living the dream, however, appearances can be deceptive and behind closed doors Rick's life is far more complex than most would realize. When the past and the present collide will Rick's future finally help him to know his own mind?


Meet the Author

Writing came relatively later in life for K.L. Shandwick after a challenge by a friend led to The Everything Trilogy. She loves creating new characters and story lines. Her characters have flaws and she hopes this helps the connection between them and her readers. K.L. enjoys the journeys they take her on during the creation of her stories, and each character has his or her own voice. She doesn’t use prepared outlines for her stories preferring the characters to take their own direction as the story progresses. These days K.L. lives in the Yorkshire countryside in the UK, and writes full-time.

Release Blitz: Acer by A.M. Hargrove + 5* review



  Title: ACER 
Author: A.M. Hargrove 
Release Date: May 21,2020   

Synopsis

Little did I know the one-time-job I’d taken would plunge me into a world filled with mob ties and illegal activities or bring me face to face with the woman of my dreams. Isla Chambers was a blinding vision wrapped in Kevlar and topped in a baseball cap with FBI stitched on it.

With the sexy Isla working by my side, I gladly offered my assistance as the FBI’s only tether in uncovering this operation.
Besides, this could launch my career even further so refusing wasn’t an option.
The risk seemed small … or so I thought.
Not only did it expose Isla to danger, it also placed a huge target on my back.

It wasn’t long before I was drowning in unimaginable darkness.
How could a world so cruel and inhumane exist?
Days and nights merged until I was nothing but broken fragments.
The beautiful face that had brought me so much joy, was stolen from memory as I surrendered to the blackness now ruling my soul.
That carefree, innocent young man was beaten out of existence.
In his place, only an empty shell remained.

Until the day Isla walked back into my crumbling reality.
Was I too lost for that dream to live on?
If she still wanted me, I knew one thing.
I wasn’t worthy of her purity anymore.

AVAILABLE NOW!! FREE IN KU!!

My Review
*ARC received in return for an honest review

OH. MY. GOD this has to be the best of Annie’s yet!!!

I spent all day reading and my nerves are shot, my emotions all over the place, my mind racing at that ending...OMG, that ending! I can not WAIT for book two, I need it NOW!!!

I was gripped from beginning to end, couldn't put it down. I love a good suspense with an exciting, whodunnit-kind-of plot that I can sink my teeth into and I definitely got it in spades with ACER. I absolutely loved it ❤️

The blurb grabbed me in straightaway and I couldn't wait to read more, it had nothing to do with the hot as sin cover, honest.😉 The plot was fast paced and tense a lot of the time, it had my adrenaline pumping throughout, my heart racing. I really enjoyed the thrill and the danger, I was on the the edge of my seat and quite a few times I shouted out loud at the unexpected twists and turns. 

Acer and Isla might just be my favourite couple. They were perfect for each other but they endured so much. My heart shattered and broke for them over the trauma they both suffered and their fight for survival.

This has to be one of the author's more serious books to date, and darkest. it definitely tugs on your heart strings and gets you thinking. I don’t want to say too much but if you have triggers then, maybe you might want to give it a miss as parts of the story was quite harrowing. If you haven't any then you're in for a roller coaster ride of emotions. 
Oh, and for all you Hargrove fans, you're gonna love catching up with some old characters who pop up from one of her previous books.

I know I’ve not done this book the justice it so rightly deserves but I can't recommend ACER highly enough!!

Excerpt

A grin larger than any I’d ever had, spread across my face. “It doesn’t matter now. You’re here and so am I.” Then I leaned forward, wrapping my arms around her waist. I pushed to my feet and said, “I’m sorry, but I have to kiss you.” I didn’t wait for her to answer. My lips crashed onto hers in a bruising kiss. She didn’t resist, which I was thankful for. When she kissed me back, I almost shouted with joy. But that would’ve interrupted the kiss and I wouldn’t have done that for anything.
