Review: Violets & Violence

Violets & Violence by Morgan Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received an ARC e-book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

It took me a long time to finally write a review of this book as after reading it my mind was like a mashed banana. It's still a bit smooshed even now. Parker's writing is truly beautiful and his storytelling is fantastic. I was really captured within Violet's world and the twists and turns kept me glued to the page. My 4 stars is based on my enjoyment as there were times when I was just so confused I didn't know what was going on, I had to go away and think about it for a while. The thrill of the fast-paced storyline always kept me coming back though.

Review: I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes With Death

I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes With Death by Maggie O'Farrell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a collection of 17 near death experiences which are well written and engaging. Each chapter is illustrated at the start by showing us the body part which nearly caused the death of O'Farrell, I thought this was a nice touch. Sometimes I fumbled a bit whilst reading through this book and ultimately got a bit jumbled in places too. I think the confusion would of been solved if the incidences were written in chronological order. It felt a bit too all over the place rather than a good, smooth read.

Review: Emma Unleashes Hell

Emma Unleashes Hell by Bridget Chase
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I must admit that I was a bit up and down with this one. Some of the story I really liked and got into ok and other bits I just didn't really like...hence why it took me so long to get through this one. This book really really needs more proof-reading as there were multiple errors with spelling mistakes and repeated words which often ruined the flow of most sentences throughout the book. The characters were ok, the storyline was pretty unique and most of the erotic scenes were well written but it just didn't flow for me.
