I have 100% fallen in love with Olympian Chanlleger by Astrid Arditi. Hope, Gabriel, Amy, Kieron and the rest of the gang are loveable from the start. Gabriel isn't too over the top gay which I love immensly. Hope is a Bella Swan but at least she can admit Kieron revolves around her life unlike Bella. As for Kieron, let's just say he has been added onto my list of fictional boyfriends.
Can we please discuss the ending? You don't do that. You cannot end it like that. Now I need to know if he always knew about it or if he somehow discovered he could do it.
If you have not read this book then you need to so I can discuss it with someone because it is one of those books I could not put down. Also, the cover is goregous so a shout out to whoever made it. If you are like me and love Greek Mythology you will not be disappointed.

Song of Blood and Stone by L. Penelope
For once, there is a little give and take between the love interest in L. Penelope's Song of Blood and Stone. I love that both Jack and Jasminda rescue each other rather than the man always saving the girl. There were some parts of the book that was predictable although I still enjoyed the book as a whole.
My favorite part of the book was the collected fairy tales at the beginning because they feel like you could actually find them in a bookshelf in this fantasy realm or the real world. Part of me wishes there was a map at the beginning of the book because I got lost on where we were supposed to be in the book.
I'd recommend this book if you enjoy fantasy or magic. If you are interested in books with a different type of character then this is the book for you.

That Kind of Book...
Sirens by Simon Messingham is one of those books where if you like arrogant men who think themselves a god it's right up your alley. I have tried several times to read it and get past chapter one but it is one of those books that holds every pet peeve I have when reading.
I tried to love Anthony but he lost me the moment I was introduced to him because I cannot stand those characters that use the word "perfect" or "god" as a description. Also disliked the opening sentence because telling people you hate telling people is the equivalent of telling.
It is not my kind of book and I wished I could give a better review of it but the first chapter already had me feeling like what the heck am I reading and try as I might it could not hold my interest.
Like I've said if arrogant men who feel the need to dominate and change women are your thing it'll be the perfect book for you.

A Bond of Venom and Magic: the best fantasy I've read in a long time
Where do we begin when talking about A Bond of Venom and Magic by Karen Tomlinson? It is one of the best fantasy novels I've read in a long time and has me suffering a book hangover. I forgot what it felt like to have the "one more chapter" syndrome, but oh, Lunaria did it feel good.
Hugo and Diamond are out of this world and I fell in love with them from the spot. There are no words to describe how amazing the book is except askfajdswnjfke (if you can understand fangirl speak).
The world building was amazing and the characters were unique. There were a few grammar errors in it but that's just me. My only negative response to the book is that I wished Diamond was a bit more independent and Hugo didn't rescue her all the time. Although, I do love that they at least try to stop themselves.
The cover was the first thing that caught my eye it is a thing of beauty and I wished more cover would look like it.
Cannot wait for the rest of the books in the series I feel like it's going to be an amazing ride and escape from reality.
