Hey my lovelies, welcome to this weeks book review and it is The F Student by Xyla Turner, this week I am taking part in 'The F Student' blog tour hosted by Xpresso Blog Tours. So a huge thank you to them for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

Title: The F Student
Author: Xyla Turner
Publisher: Azina Media
Pub. Date: January 10th 2017
Date Read: 6th February 2017
Pages:  92
Rating:3.6/5 stars
Summary: Cassius Rice, A.K.A., Cash has not been doing well in his classes for over a year. With one semester to go, his father cut him off, leaving Cash out of luck. With no other options, he took up an offer that he later regretted. Sleep with his professor and record it, then he would have the money to obtain his college degree. 
Simple enough for Cash. 
What he did not expect was the Professor’s Teaching Assistant to block his efforts nor did he expect the underground fighting world to be so lucrative. All he wanted was to accomplish his quest and graduate. 

The F Student wasn't exactly what I expected. When I first read the blurb I was interested (hence the reason for requesting to be put on the tour), however it wasn't really what I wanted the book to be. The book is from a male point of view, which I have never read a NA book from before, so I'm not really sure if it was just that, but then I wasn't really a big fan of the writing style to be honest. And especially with it being such a short novella really, I expected more, especially because of all the high class short novella's I have read in the last year.

The book follows Cash, an average student at college, however when his brother dies, his life completely changes, causing his only real passion to be his love of older women. And when his father see's his grades dropping, he cuts him off, causing him to have to find a quick way to pay the rest of $20,000 owed before the end of term in order to graduate. Whilst looking for ways to get this income, he is the offered the chance to receive all of the money in return for sleeping with one of his professors and filming it. However, he soon finds the professor's TA is exactly what he needs in his life.

Conclusion

Overall, I believe The F Sudent was an okay read, and if it was slightly longer, I believe it would have allowed us to  connect with the characters a lot more, and given them added depth. 

Recommend?

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading short NA novels, from a male point of view. Who enjoys incredibly short reads.

Hey my lovelies, the second non spoiler book review of this week is the one and only The Tokyo Cover Girls by Jackie Amsden. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Title: The Tokyo Cover Girls
Author: Jackie Amsden
Publisher: Jackie Amsden
Pub. Date: May 1st 2016
Date Read:  9th September 2016
Pages: 449
Rating:  4/5 stars
Goodreads Summary: New York has Jacobs, Paris has Chanel, Milan has Versace and Tokyo has . . . Hello Kitty toilet plungers? With its cute-obsessed catalogue and magazine market, anyone who is anyone knows that modeling in Japan means being at the bottom of the fashion industry. Blake, Jess, and Hailey are doing their best to survive yet another casting where pigtails and toddler-impressions are a must when they stumble upon the opportunity of a lifetime. The prestigious Satsujin company has selected them to compete for a campaign that will transform the winner from commercial nobody to haute couture superstar faster than you can say Vogue Italia.

Of course, nothing is ever what it seems in the fashion world. Just ask all those dead girls . .

Overview

Tokyo Cover Girls follows three girls who moved to Japan for modelling for the summer. Except nothing is ever what it seems. The models know that this world is both backstabbing and ruthless, but don't know the full extent people are willing to go for some good entertainment. It also delved deep into the world of Japanese gaming and gangs. The girls find out they are being put into a competition where only one can win the chance to be the international face of a women's fashion company, ensuring their faces on the cover of British, Italian and French vogue. Only these challenges they face in the competition are a lot more conniving than they thought. 

Jess, Hailey and Blake are our main characters, each with their distinct personalities, in my head I categorized them as Hailey the naive, Blake the bitch and Jess the perfectionist. Another good thing is that from the writing alone, you could tell whose point of view you were reading. 

You can definitely tell that the author, Jackie Amsden, is writing this all from her personal experience as there are definitely little notes of realism in there that most books don't usually have. The writing was very good and fit the tone of the book perfectly. I especially loved the pace of the book, as there were definitely a lot of craziness going on.  

Conclusion

In conclusion, I really enjoyed it and would read any more books that come out in the series. 

Recommend...

I would recommend this to anyone who loves mysteries and/or the japanese modelling industry and culture (so much kawaii in this book)

Hey my lovelies, due to the number of missing reviews over the past couple of months, for the next few weeks I have decided in order to get a number of book reviews out, you are going to be getting 2 reviews a week, one on a Monday and one on Friday's. And the first book review of the week is the History Major by Michael Phillip Cash. I received this book as apart of The History Major Book tour at WorldWind Book Tours.

Title: The History Major
Author: Michael Phillip Cash
Publisher: Michael Phillip Cash
Pub. Date: January 4th 2016
Date Read:  9th September 2016
Pages: 120
Rating: 4.75 /5 stars
Goodreads Summary: After a vicious fight with her boyfriend followed by a night of heavy partying, college freshman Amanda Greene wakes up in her dorm room to find things are not the same as they were yesterday. She can't quite put her finger on it. She's sharing her room with a peculiar stranger. Amanda discovers she's registered for classes she would never choose with people that are oddly familiar. An ominous shadow is stalking her. Uncomfortable memories are bubbling dangerously close to her fracturing world, propelling her to an inevitable collision between fantasy and reality. Is this the mother of all hangovers or is something bigger happening?

Overview

I honestly loved the History Major, I don't make a habit of reading a lot of short stories, so when I was offered the chance to read this one, I wasn't so sure about reading it, as unless it is a part of a series I didn't really understand how somebody could fit an entire story with character development and the whole shebang in less than 150 pages. And still he managed to do it.

The History Major follows Manda, who wakes up in her college dorm room lost and confused, after a mysterious fight with her boyfriend with no recollection of her roommate or parts of her college, only knowing that she has a class in history that she didn't sign up for. From there we have various flashbacks to not only her own past but also to other famous historical figures. Due to this being a completely non spoiler review, I am having quite difficulty describing the novel, without mentioning the major plot points.

The reason that this novel isn't a full 5 stars from me, is because of Manda, at times she wasn't the nicest person, as shown in flashbacks and when meeting new people. As she does talk about her appearance quite abit making her appear quite shallow, this does not mean that she was a Mary-sue though, we do learn throughout the novella why she is insecure and feels the way she does towards others, and almost makes up for things she said in the final flashback. Which considering it is only 120 pages, shows quite a strong character development. 

Conclusion

Overall, I seriously enjoyed this book and will be reading it again and checking out other books by Michael Phillip Cash (as well as Stillwell). The writing style suited me personally and I liked that a lot of the dialogue used was internal monologue, as well as actual conversations. 
Recommend...

I would recommend this to anyone who loves history and whats to read a story that has more of a philosophical edge to it. This would be a great book to read if you want to boost your goodreads reading challenge, not only was it a good book and written well, it is also incredibly short.

Hey my lovelies, this weeks book review does not include any spoilers and it is Zero by Morgan Dark, I received Zero for free in exchange for an honest review, thanks to Rubiños 1860. The first thing I have to say about this book is that it was not what I expected. At all. It was far better and well exceeded my expectations. 

Title: Zero
Author: Morgan Dark
Publisher: Rubiños 1860
Pub. Date: June 28th 2016
Date Read:  27th June 2016
Pages: 378
Rating:4.75/5 stars
Goodreads Summary: A baffling robber. A mystery hidden for years. And an elite boarding school where no one is who they say they are. Kyle Bradford is the envy of Drayton College, but everything takes a turn when a dangerous shadow, hidden in the darkness, starts to stalk him. From then on, his life falls apart. Unjustly accused of being the main suspect behind the robberies terrifying high society, he is forced to prove his innocence. And to do so, he has to find the real culprit: Zero, an infallible criminal who keeps his identity hidden under a silver mask. What Kyle does not know is that his enemy is keeping a secret. A secret he would sacrifice everything for. A dizzying, heart-stopping thriller you won’t be able to put down.

Overview

This book definitely grips you from the start, as straight away we are thrown into the middle of the action with the notorious thief Zero robbing a necklace at an Opera house, with him/her barely escaping from the police. At this stage nobody knows who Zero is or why he is stealing, what he is stealing. Then in the first chapter we meet Kyle Bradford our main character and antagonist, it follows him returning to the elite boarding school where he lives, there he begins to be antagonised by the one we know as Zero, who is setting him up by ensuring robberies begin taking place in Kyle's classes, making him look like the prime suspect. So it also deals with Kyle attempting to find out who Zero is and why he possibly could be framing him. The book then delves into the secrets of all our main characters pasts, leading you on some unexpected journeys. 

This book went nowhere near where i expected it to go. As at four different stages I realised that it wasn't the story i expected it to be at that point and the book just kept me hanging on the edge of my seat. Not gonna lie I guessed one of the plot twists quite early on, however I believe that it was intentional that we guess and find out that one, as I believe it was working on the strategy that if you think you've found the major plot twist, which is a very clever thing to do in order to get a upper hand on your reader. And trust me some of these plot twists, make you sit there and think wow. How did we get here?

Writing 

I enjoyed the general writing and the only fault I found with it was that at the very beginning of the book the writing came of as slightly middle grade, however I found this developed more as the characters themselves developed, which makes me think this could have been intentional, So do not let the very beginnings writing, put you off, even though I am unsure of how that could happen as you pretty much get sucked in straight away. The actual book is split into four parts, with the first three parts split into finding out who Zero is and the final part revealing who Zero really is and why he/she does steal and the motives behind everything. 

Conclusion

In conclusion, this book totally blew my mind, and I did not expect that ending at all, and if you want to read a book that will completely blow your mind read it now. It was so amazing and I am now excited to read the next book in the series (I assume there is going to be more books as there were some questions left unanswered). This review is slightly shorter than my normal reviews, however due to spoiler reasons I cannot give an in depth analysis of the characters, however trust me when I say nothing is ever what it seems. 

Recommend ....

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys good fast paced thrillers with plot twists at every turn.

Hey my lovelies, this weeks review is Sweet Liar by Debra Doxer, you may remember that I reviewed the first in the Like Candy duology last August, and have finally got around to reading the final one. This review contains spoilers for the first book. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review thanks to netgalley.

Title: Sweet Liar
Author: Debra Doxer
Publisher: Smashwords
Pub. Date: October 20th 2015
Date Read: Sunday 19th June 2016
Pages: ~
Rating:3.6/5 stars
Goodreads Summary: Sometimes lies are sweeter than the truth. Beauty is alluring; it can disguise the ugliness beneath. But scarred beauty is even more potent to a girl who vowed never to let her heart be broken again. It was an easy vow for Candy to keep until she met Jonah, an arrogant boy with a face that would be too perfect if not for the scar that marred the skin beside his eye. That imperfect boy earned her trust and won her heart, but the ties that bind people together are fragile, especially when lies are told. Trust is also fragile, and once broken, doesn’t heal like a heart. Trust has to be earned again, and Jonah desperately wants Candy’s trust back. But Candy has more than Jonah to worry about. Her father is in trouble, and she intends to help him whether he likes it or not. People tell her he’s a bad man, and that may be true, but he’s not all bad. Deep down, she understands his brand of badness because she’s so much like him. When Candy finally learns the truth, she’ll have to grow up fast, let go of old grievances, and realize that being vulnerable doesn’t make her weak. In fact, opening herself up may be the very thing that makes her whole again.

Sweet Liar picks up where Like Candy left off, Candy shooting at Jonahs dad, this leads us straight into the main question, what does Candy's father actually do for a living. But even though we get the answer to this, it then causes you to have double the amount of questions. I did not enjoy this one as much as the last, as the overall novel was alright for me, however I did not find it anything special and probably would not read it again. One of the things I have always enjoyed about this series is that the plot is completely unrealistic and would not happen at all in real life, as even though I am sure certain plot devices used are real e.g spys, assassins etc. The thought of the father going through all that trouble to inconsistently hide what he does and then allow his daughter to do what he does is completely unrealistic to me. After the events of the last novel Candy has got trapped in her fathers messed up world, which is even worse than she could imagine, as her fathers enemies are now her own, and her own enemies that she never even considered are coming out of the woodwork.

There is a lot of character development for Candy in Sweet Liar, as the first one mainly showed her assertive and aggressiveness towards other people. However, this one mainly shows her growing as a person and realising you can't solve everything with your punch. And as an adult you need to choose when is best to pick the fight. This book also changes your opinions about certain characters completely, so be aware of some plot twists!

I read this book in two sittings, which is quite strange for me as I usually read much larger books in only one, however at certain points I simply got bored of the writing. As for me some chapters were simply too long and caused the story to get dry, which is why the overall rating is only 3.6 out of 5. A huge thank you to Debra Doxer and Netgalley for sending me this ebook for free in exchange for an honest review.

Recommend...

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the first novel, or was willing to read a duology following an eighteen year old girl thrust into her fathers world of espionage.

Hey my lovelies, today's review is Out of Order by Casey Lawrence, I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I seriously enjoyed this book, a lot more than I honestly thought I would, although I was scheduled to read a few other books before this one, but I read the synopsis and could not resist.

Title: Out of Order
Author: Casey Lawrence
Publisher: Harmony Ink Press
Pub. Date: March 21st 2015
Date Read:   Thursday 19th May 2016
Pages:  180
Rating:4.5/5 stars
Goodreads Summary: Corinna “Corey” Nguyen’s life seems perfectly average for a closeted bisexual whiz kid with her eyes on college and a budding romance with her friend Kate. Sixteen and navigating senior year with her tight-knit group of best friends through crushes, breakups, and pregnancy scares, Corey mistakenly believes that running for valedictorian and choosing the right college are the worst of her worries. That is, until prom night, when she’s left alone and in shock, hiding inside a diner restroom, the only witness to a multiple homicide.

With graduation looming, the pressure is on for Corey to identify the killer and ensure that the crime that has changed her life forever will not go unpunished.

Overview

Out of Order followed Corey go through the tragic circumstance of her best friends being murdered and her only making it out alive by sheer luck. The novel kicks straight off with the tragic act and then continues to flip back and forth between before the murders and afterwards. At certain points I completely forgot about finding the killer, as even though there was not actually much mystery to who the killer was, as I personally did not feel the drive to find out who it was and even though the synopsis suggests it revolves around her trying to find out who the killer, it does not. Instead she just stumbles upon the information. I did not guess the killer, even though other reviewers on good reads feel like they should have. Although other scenes in the book did make more sense why they were included after words. This is an lgbt+ book, as it does deal with Corey being bisexual, however she is fully open with this herself and is more to do with getting other people to be confident with themselves.

Out of Order was really good, for me it wasn't quite up to the standard of the Hate List, but I am loving the angsty reads at the moment. I did find a few spelling mistakes in the novel, however these were easily looked over.  Overall the book got me wrapped up in the plot and due to the overall shortness of the novel it only took me 1 hour and 20 minutes to get through it, I actually read it on the same day as I received it via email, which i probably shouldn't have due to the sheer size of my tbr pile, but I knew it had a lot of angst and I was simply in the mood for it.

This book got me a bit emotional, not going to lie I had tears in my eyes in certain scenes of the book and if a book can reduce me to almost tears, then that's what I call a good book (as it is very rare I actually cry due to sadness, although I usually cry from laughter at least once a week). But i got so attached to Corey and I could actually feel her emotions and her loss for her friends.

The reason I rated Out of Order so high, was because I genuinely enjoyed reading it, which sadly does not seem to happen that often anymore.

A small warning this book doe's deal with drugs, guns, a shooting massacre and it messes with your feelings. 

Recommend

I recommend this to anyone who wants to read a book to really get attached to the characters and is willing to (almost) cry.

Hey my lovelies, todays review is Kindred Spirits by Rainbow Rowell. Now if you didn't already know then this was a special edition novella that can be bought for only £1 due to World Book Day, in March earlier this year. So if you haven't already got your copy then I suggest you get it now, because it was so good.

Title: Kindred Spirits
Author: Rainbow Rowell
Publisher: Macmillans Kids UK
Pub. Date: February 25th 2016
Date Read: Wednesday 13th April 2016
Pages:  96
Rating:4.75/5 stars
Goodreads Summary: 'Everybody likes everything these days. The whole world is a nerd.'
'Are you mad because other people like Star Wars? Are you mad because people like me like Star Wars?'
'Maybe.'
If you broke Elena's heart, Star Wars would spill out. So when she decides to queue outside her local cinema to see the new movie, she's expecting a celebration with crowds of people who love Han, Luke and Leia just as much as she does. What she's not expecting is to be last in a line of only three people; to have to pee into a collectible Star Wars soda cup behind a dumpster or to meet that unlikely someone who just might truly understand the way she feels. Kindred Spirits is an engaging short story by Rainbow Rowell, author of the bestselling Eleanor & Park, Fangirl and Carry On, and is part of a handful of selected short reads specially produced for World Book Day. 

Overview

I enjoyed this so much, and after having a mini reading slump it is really what I needed in order to have a little pick me up. Kindred spirits is a good feel book, it has no angst, good characters and lots of star wars. Also there was no fan shaming! Even though Gabe mentioned fangirls\boys, being into the token "geeky" stuff, that made him feel like an outcast, it in no way detrimental to the people who are not traditionally viewed as geeky. And even though I have never properly watched a star wars film (I know shocking right?) The characters were well enough known that I knew most of the references and that was not detrimental to the novella at all.

I loved the whole geeky feel to the novel, of people who come from different places just bonding over the love of Star Wars.

Overall, this is a very good book for world book day with a lighthearted and happy feel and this could actually be my favourite Rainbow Rowell book,as of yet. If you have not already picked up your copy I suggest that you do now before they run put of stock, as it was a one off for world book day. Purchase on amazon here.

Would I recommend it?

I would the commend to fans of contemporary novels who only want a short read (it's only 96 pages), star wars fans, Rainbow Rowell fans and of cause anyone looking for a lighthearted read.

Hey my lovelies, this weeks review is ofcause The Good Girls by Sara Shepard. This review has been a long time coming as I did purchase the book in August last year, so after taking almost eight months to read it, i finally have and chosen to review it. You can check out my review of the first book in the Perfectionists duology here, please be warned that this does contain spoilers for the Perfectionists.

Title: The Good Girls
Author: Sara Shepard
Publisher: Harper Teen
Pub. Date: June 2nd 2015
Date Read:Sunday 20th March 2016
Pages: 368
Rating:4/5 stars
Summary: From Sara Shepard, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Pretty Little Liars series, comes the shocking sequel to The Perfectionists—with an ending you’ll have to read to believe!

Mackenzie, Ava, Caitlin, Julie, and Parker have done some not-so-perfect things. But even though they all talked about killing rich bully Nolan Hotchkiss, they didn’t actually go through with it. It’s just a coincidence that Nolan died in exactly the way they planned . . . right? Except Nolan wasn’t the only one they fantasized about killing. When someone else they named dies, the girls wonder if they’re being framed. Or are they about to become the killer’s next targets?

Overview

The first thing I would like to say is that Sara Shepard has actually wrote a book series that only has two books. Two books! As soon as I heard there was this series, I knew I had to pick it up, especially after absolutely loving the Lying Game series, even if for me it did drag on a bit for the last novel, but that was mainly because I couldn't wait to find out how everyone would react to Emma's reveal. Anyway back to The Good Girls.....

To be honest I'm not sure if I liked the overall ending of the book, as it not necessarily been better, but it could have been more complex. Maybe I'm just saying this because I guessed the big plot twist of the novel in the Perfectionists, but I just wanted to be kept guessing more, although i do admit that there were a few plot twists in the duology which I didn't expect e.g Mr Granger's death. 

The girls

Caitlyn, realizes after dumping her boyfriend for his younger brother in the last book, that maybe the grass isn't always greener and if you truly do want a relationship to work, you must work at it and make compromises especially if your partner doesn't always have the same interests that you do. 

Mac seems very naive to me, as she still tries to be friends with Claire, the girl who got her boyfriend to pretend to like Mac in order to make her fail. I understand why she did what she did at the end, but through out she seemed very needy as she was also always thinking about Claire's now ex-boyfriend. 

Ava soon realizes that she has to be careful what she says to people, as not everyone has your best intentions at heart. You get more of a feel of her relationship with her father and step mum, and as she tries to figure out if it was really her boyfriend who killed Nolan and Mr Granger. 

Then you have Julie, Julie has a lot of mental issues that she has to deal with, from the anxiety of getting over what everyone is saying about her due to Ashley to her mums hoarding, as well as a few of her own issues.

Parker, wasn't really in the Good Girls that much due to her becoming more of a supporting character of Julie, although she did have more scenes towards the end. 

Conclusion

My favourite part of the book is most likely the last chapter of the book, i'm not sure why, but I just really like the idea of certain characters getting a happy ending, even if their happy ending is for a serial killer. Overall I think it was a satisfying duology and I'm incredibly glad that it was not dragged out for another 10 books. Although even if it was a ten book series, I would still probably buy and read it all due to Shepard's fantastic writing. 

Thank you for reading my lovelies, this is it for this week, if you would like to see more of what I am currently reading you can check me out on Goodreads, Instagram and Twitter.
