Beyond Shame (Beyond #1) by Kit Rocha

I got this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book is for 18+ only.

Title; Beyond Shame

Author; Kit Rocha

Series; Beyond book one, there are (I think) four books in the series, or there will be.

Publisher; Moira Rogers

Publication Date; September 16th 2012

Description; All Noelle Cunningham has ever wanted is a life beyond–beyond the walls of Eden, where only the righteous are allowed to remain, and beyond her stiflingly restrictive existence as a councilman’s daughter. But only ruins lie outside the City, remnants of a society destroyed by solar storms decades earlier.

The sectors surrounding Eden house the corrupt, the criminal–men like Jasper McCray, bootlegger and cage fighter. Jas clawed his way up from nothing to stand at the right hand of Sector Four’s ruthless leader, and he’ll defend the O’Kane gang with his life. But no fight ever prepared him for the exiled City girl who falls at his feet.

Her innocence is undeniable, but so is their intense sexual attraction, and soon they’re crossing every boundary Noelle barely knew she had. But if she wants to belong to Jas, first she’ll have to open herself to the gang, to a dangerous world of sex, lust and violence. A world where passion is power, and freedom is found in submission.

Goodreads Average Rating; 3.82

My Rating; 4.5*s

Would I read anything else by this author? Yes, I most definitely would.

Would I recommend this book? Yes

Who would I recommend it to? Those who like dystopia novels, those who like erotic romance books, people over 18. I think that most people should give this book a try. An erotic dystopia is definitely something new to me.

Review; This book was my first erotic dystopia novel, and I definitely want to try some more of them.

Bad Things About This Book;
The only bad thing for me was that there wasn't enough information about Eden and the sectors. I suppose that there might be more information in the other three books, I hope there is.
It's not that we don't get enough information, because there was some information, more so towards the end, but I'd still like to know a little more about why the world is like that, and what's going on within the world.
That is my only bad thing.

Good Things About This Book;
- The characters. Oh, I am in love with the characters.
- There's a plot. A lot of time with erotic novels there seems to be no plot, and nothing happening but sex, sex, sex. This book did have a lot of sex, sex, sex, but it also had a plot. Stuff happening other than the sex.
- The sex scenes were well written and pretty hot (in my opinion.)
- There are tries and troubles in the relationships, which makes it much more realistic. The sex and the relationship was slightly fast, but it totally worked within the books, with everything else going on and such.
- Pretty much everything.

I seriously need the sequel to this book, like now, but it's not out until March!
This is a book I think y'all should try.

Qualia;


A brilliant combination of epic biblical apocalypse and gritty urban fantasy. - James Brogden

When the archangel Metatron offers his incompetent human assistant Joe, one final chance to cleanse his sullied soul, he jumps at the chance. But with Armageddon looming, Joe had better find out what's really going on, because, once Lucifer is released, any human will have missed their chance to pick a side.

However, as he prepares to deliver Graham Latimer, Lucifer's unwilling and confused human host to the angels, Joe discovers that all may not be as it seems. Hell is no longer the realm of eternal torment and Metatron's actions are not divinely inspired. Pursued by the very angels with whom he has worked for so long, Joe travels with a diverse group of 'demons' through what is left of the seven circles in an attempt to keep Graham safe and stop Metatron from fooling the other angels into destroying the world.

Facing his own personal demons, which are far more dangerous than those creatures around him and trying to find the 'truth' amongst the varying shades of grey that make up 'good' and 'evil', Joe has just one chance to make a difference. However any change is going to come at a cost and nobody, demon, angel or human, wants to pay the price.

(I think it sounds kind of interesting, what do you think?)

On My Kindle #1 (A new weekly event)

On My Kindle is going to be a weekly event where I will list the new titles I have downloaded on to my Kindle that week. I will list the price that I paid for each title (if it says Edelweiss or NetGalley next to the title, then I got that book from that site for review) and if I have read it I will also post my rating and a link to my review, if I have reviewed the title.
As this is the first week, and I have over 600 titles on my Kindle, I will only be posting those that I have downloaded this week. So, any titles that were downloaded prior to the 3rd of February will not be featured, because that would take me about a year.
All of these titles were purchased from Amazon UK.
This will be heavy on the free books, if a book's free I always feel like I have to give it a chance. Besides, who doesn't love a free book?
I will include the date I downloaded the book as well just in case you would like to request the title on NetGalley or Edelweiss, or in case you'd like to see if the book is still free.

Obsidian (Lux #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Title; Obsidian

Author; Jennifer L. Armentrout

Series; Lux series, book one. (There are at least 5 books, three have been released so far.)

Publisher; Entangled Publishing

Publication Date; May 8th 2012 (2nd edition)

Description; When seventeen-year-old Katy Swartz moved to West Virginia right before her senior year, she'd pretty much resigned herself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring, but then she spotted her hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up...until he opened his mouth. Daemon Black is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. It's hate at first sight, but when a stranger attacks her and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens. The hot guy next door? Well, he's an alien. Turns out that Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities and Katy is caught in the crosshairs. Daemon's touch has lit her up like the Vegas Strip and the only way she's getting out of this alive is by sticking close to him until her alien mojo fades. That is if she doesn't kill him first.

Goodreads Average Rating; 4.40*s

My Rating; 5*s

Would I read anything else by this author? Definitely, I can see her becoming one of my favourite authors.

Would I recommend this book? Do you even need to ask? Yes, I recommend this book.

Who would I recommend it to? I would say all, but I understand that that would be too vague, so all of you who like romance, YA, fantasy/science fiction...

Review; Okay,I can't believe I waited so long to read this book. I loved it.
Daemon is a jerk, but I love him anyway. Dee is awesome. Katy is also awesome. I just, I love these characters and I need to read the second book, like, nowish.

I don't really think there was anything I disliked about this book, other than a few characters which you're supposed to dislike anyway.

Now, what I liked about this book. Sure, I could just say everything, but that would probably be a bit too vague.

What I liked about this book was...it wasn't all about the romance (I just hate when books are all about the romance,) this book has plot, and no love triangles.
Katy has a backbone! I do love heroines with a backbone, rather than those who cower away from the action and are people pleasers.
Daemon Black. Yes, this is a valid reason.
Dee, her personality, and the fact that Katy's friends weren't bitches. I hate when the heroine has these supposed friends that are just nothing like friends. None of that in this book.
Before we find out that they're aliens (it says this in the description, so this is not a spoiler,) there are so many little mentions of aliens and ET. It made me laugh, actually, quite a few parts of this book made me laugh.

And, I'm going to stop there before I gush too much and give too much away.

You should definitely pick up a copy of this book if you haven't already. I loved it and I hope you will too.

I'm off to read the sequel.

Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed: (and Other Heartwarming Letters from Kitty) by Jeremy Greenberg

I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

Title; Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed: (and Other Heartwarming Letters from Kitty)

Author; Jeremy Greenberg

Publisher; Andrews McMeel Publishing

Publication Date; April 2nd 2013

Description; The cat's answer to Sorry I Pooped in Your Shoe, Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed is a hilarious collection of full-color photos and letters of excuses and suggestions from cats to the people who love them—no matter what bad thing they’ve done!Inside Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed, writer and comedian Jeremy Greenberg presents a collection of laugh-out-loud letters and photographs that offer a cat's eye view on common feline vs. human cohabitation conundrums. It's the perfect gift for crazy cat lovers and anyone who appreciates hilarious (and so true!) insights into cat—and human—nature, including:

Your cat sits on your laptop not just for warmth or attention, but to prevent you from interacting with the outside world. After all, isn’t the main reason to have a cat so you don’t have to waste time developing normal human relationships? If you spent a third of your life licking yourself, you too would occasionally forget to stick your tongue back in your face. Eating grass has medicinal purposes, and most cats believe grass should be legalized. The cat feels bad about barfing on your bed…because now it must get to up to go sleep on your clean laundry instead.

Goodreads Average Rating; 4*s

My Rating; 5*s

Would I read anything else by this author? I'd give his other books a go, yes.

Would I recommend this book? Yes.

Who would I recommend it to? Cat lovers. People who tolerate cats. Just...people in general.

My Review; At this moment in time I'm supposed to be reading other books to review, at least that was the plan, but then I downloaded this title and couldn't stop myself from reading! The smile never left my face whilst I read this little book.

As the co-owner of four cats, you could call me a cat lover, or even a crazy cat lady, and so when I saw this book on Goodreads I just had to check it out and I am so glad that I did.

This book made me laugh sometimes, it made me smile all of the time and I...I think I want to read it again already. I wish there was more of this book. There is no doubt that when this book is published I will be purchasing myself a copy, and I think you should all do the same.

This is definitely a book that can make you smile.

Dare You To (Pushing The Limits #2) by Katie McGarry

I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Title; Dare You To

Author; Katie McGarry 

Series; Pushing The Limits Book Two (This book CAN stand alone)

Publisher; Harlequin Teen

Publication Date; May 28th 2013

Description; "I dare you..." 

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does.... 

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him. 

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all....

Goodreads Average Rating; 4.49

My Rating; 5*s

Would I read anything else by this author? I have and I will.

Would I recommend this book? Yes

Who would I recommend this book to? Those who enjoyed the first book, fans of YA, realistic fiction and romance. 

Review; And I thought I loved Pushing The Limits...

If you have read Pushing The Limits, and you liked it, then you need to read this book...this book is better than the first. At least in my opinion it is.

I had always liked Beth's character, there's just something about her character that appeals to me. The damaged character.  I don't know why, maybe because that's what I see as realistic. A damaged, flawed and afraid person. And so getting to know Beth's character in this book, I liked that. It made me see why she was damaged, helped me understand her character more. Beth was probably my favourite character in this book.

Ryan, hmm... I did quite like Ryan's character. A jock that isn't just dumb for once. I liked how... persistent Ryan was.  And how he saw things for what they were...most of the time. He was a great character.

All of the character's were great, the plot and the whole book was great. I wish we could have seen more of Noah, Echo, and Isaiah.

Whether you have read Pushing The Limits (and if you haven't, you should) or not I recommend this book to you. I can't wait for Isaiah's story next. And I will definitely be buying myself a copy of this book when it gets published. It's one I could reread.
