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, 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.

Hello, my lovelies todays non-spoiler book review is The Darkest Corners by Kara Thomson. A huge thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this in return for a honest review. I really enjoyed reading The Darkest Corners and  would definitely purchase the book when it does go on sale.

Title: The Darkest Corners
Author: Kara Thomas
Publisher: Delacorte
Pub. Date: April 19th 2016
Date Read: Thursday 25th February 2016
Pages: 336
Rating:4.5/5 stars
Goodreads Summary: For fans of Gillian Flynn’s Dark Places and Sara Shepard’s Pretty Little Liars, The Darkest Corners is a psychological thriller about the lies little girls tell, and the deadly truths those lies become.    There are ghosts around every corner in Fayette, Pennsylvania. Tessa left when she was nine and has been trying ever since not to think about it after what happened there that last summer. Memories of things so dark will burn themselves into your mind if you let them. Callie never left. She moved to another house, so she doesn’t have to walk those same halls, but then Callie always was the stronger one. She can handle staring into the faces of her demons—and if she parties hard enough, maybe one day they’ll disappear for good. Tessa and Callie have never talked about what they saw that night. After the trial, Callie drifted and Tessa moved, and childhood friends just have a way of losing touch. But ever since she left, Tessa has had questions. Things have never quite added up. And now she has to go back to Fayette—to Wyatt Stokes, sitting on death row; to Lori Cawley, Callie’s dead cousin; and to the one other person who may be hiding the truth. Only the closer Tessa gets to the truth, the closer she gets to a killer—and this time, it won’t be so easy to run away.

The first thing I have to say about this novel, is that it is extremely intense from the get go. The whole thing was a big drama with drugs, sex, murder, serial killers, prostitution, alcohol and everything else you can think off. There was a lot of back story in this and amazingly it was all told from our main character, Tessa's point of view, with no flashbacks whats so ever. Also everything that at the beginning you don't think is connected, ends up is and nothing is as it seems.

Tessa has to return to her old hometown, when her father becomes ill, whilst their she moves into her ex-best friends house who she has not spoken to since they were witnesses in a murder investigation. There she quickly begins to doubt everything she knows and by the end of the book her whole world gets turned upside down and not in a stereotypical teenage girls way, instead this novel was pretty hardcore with the whole town being extremely messed up. Overall though Tessa  was quite a badass character, doing almost anything to find out what happened to the people in her old hometown including her mother and sister.

Although their were some negatives, personally I believe that it introduces a lot of the characters too early and caused me to get a little confused, as I was confused with Tessa's age at the beginning, as I believed she was around Maggie's age, who is her ex-best friends mum. Another negative was that for at times the book appears a tad too dramatic, although the book did keep me guessing until the very end. Although it did end extremely fast for my liking, I never wanted it to end!

Favourite Quotes

"We all make choices and he made his"

"Sometimes all you have to do is look at the roots to see if the rest of the tree is poisoned" - I highlighted this whilst reading on my kindle, as I thought it was different and I just loved it, and when I looked back onto my notes for writing this review, the quote got even better.

I would recommend this book to anybody who enjoys a good mystery/thriller or someone who just wants to get into the mystery genre. Thank you again to Netgalley, Kara Thomas and Delacorte for the chance of reading and reviewing this amazing book for free,

Hey my lovelies, here is a non-spoiler review of Sara Shepard's the Perfectionists. 

Title: The Perfectionists
Author: Sara Shepard
Publisher: Harper Collins
Pub. Date: October 7th 2014
Date Read:Sunday 13th March 2016
Pages: 336
Rating:3.9/5 stars
Goodreads Summary: In Beacon Heights, Washington, five girls—Ava, Caitlin, Mackenzie, Julie, and Parker—know that you don’t have to be good to be perfect. At first the girls think they have nothing in common, until they realize that they all hate Nolan Hotchkiss, who’s done terrible things to each of them. They come up with the perfect way to kill him—a hypothetical murder, of course. It’s just a joke...until Nolan turns up dead, in exactly the way they planned. Only, they didn’t do it. And unless they find the real killer, their perfect lives will come crashing down around them. 

From Sara Shepard, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Pretty Little Liars series, comes another story of dark secrets, shocking twists, and what happens when five beautiful girls will do anything to hide the ugly truth. 

Overview

The Perfectionists is everything that you think a Sara Shepard book would be, full of mystery, death, murder and a group of girls trying to solve it. If you think I just described Petty Little Liars, then you are right, this book was incredibly similar to Pretty Little Liars and reminded me more of the tv show rather than books. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but it just shows that Sara found her niche and she has stuck with it. Although it became almost like a cheaper knock off of the original series, except this one is condensed down into two books rather than 16. None of this is to say that it’s a bad book, in fact I really enjoyed it, and if it was buy any other author it probably wouldn’t have gotten the slack that I have just given it.

The Perfectionists is a story of 5 girls, who each play their part in a prank on the most popular guy in school, who is a known bully and drug taker, who ends up dead. Something that I never really got was that drugs are accepted and seem to help the ‘perfect’ image, whereas in real life it’s not something to be proud of. Each of the girls have more of a reason to do the prank and then on to do the killing.

The girls;

There is Ava, who is a pretty girl, who is still dealing with rumors that were caused my Nolan (the dead guy) long ago, which still affect her home life, school life and relationship with her boyfriend.

Parker, who was pretty and popular until an accident which was indirectly caused by Nolan (and Julie, just as much) led to her bearing scars on her face, due to this she repetitively has black outs and strong migraines. I have various theories about Parker, but I shall get into that in my review of The Good Girls to avoid any spoilers.

Next up, Is Julie, who effectively took Parker's place on the popularity scale, she has a strange home life, due to her mum’s illness, which she tries to hide from everyone, except Parker. Due to hr popularity she also has what is necessarily a stalker, who in turns tries to copy everything that she does.

Caitlyn, is the ‘sporty one’ who plays football or soccer depending on where you’re from and her boyfriends also on the male’s football team. She is affected by Nolan due to his excessive bullying (not that any bullying is good) of her younger brother, which lead to him committing suicide.

And finally there is, Mackenzie, the one who I couldn’t remember the story line or who she was… I’m back, Mackenzie was the musical one, her reason for revenge on Nolan wasn’t what I would consider that much of a big deal. We didn’t really know much of her home life only that she is uber competitive with her ‘best friend’, who is a huge bitch may I add, and she also has feelings for said friends boyfriend. Yeah, I saw exactly where that was going too.

Other Characters

Mr Granger is basically a creepier version of the TV shows Mr Fitz, and yeah another teacher. Adam, Ava’s boyfriend, takes notice of a lot of things, which really goes to the other end of the creepy spectrum. To be honest there are no other characters to take note off.

Positives

1.          The main characters have a lot more diverse cast than Pretty Little Liars
2.        Only two books. TWO! Is this really Sara Shepard approving a series that is only a duology?
3.        The end makes you want the second book right now.
4.          I have the second book right now.

Negatives

1.  Introduces at least 20 characters who are not important at all throughout the novel in the first chapter
2. I could not remember the fifth girls name or her story line, whilst writing this review.
3. Cliffhanger. I Repeat there is a cliffhanger
4.   It seems like the books just finally starting to build and then it ended. Ugggh.

Even though the Perfectionists is definitely a what if? Of Pretty Little Liars, it was still enjoyable and I still got pulled straight into it. Its great for anyone who still wants the murder mystery part of the story , but doesn't want the heaviness of a book that comes with that situation.

Hey my lovelies, I am finally back and with a book review no less. This is the first review of my christmas series, so be sure to check out all of my new posts! Now lets get down to it!

Hey my lovelies, today's review is of Like Candy by the lovely Debra Doxer. I received this novel thanks to netgalley, Debra Doxer and it's publishers for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book, a lot more than what I was expecting. Which is why I rated it a full five stars on Goodreads.

Title: Like Candy

Author: Debra Doxer

Publisher: Not Known

Pub.Date:  28th July 2015

Date Read:  6th August 2015 

Pages: 299

Rating: 5/5 stars

Goodreads Summary: Revenge is sweet, just like candy.

Candy Seaborne knows she’s badass. She takes after her father, an assassin and possibly a spy, although he won’t admit to either. She idolizes him. Her dream is to follow in his footsteps. But first, she has to finish high school.
Biding her time, waiting for real life to begin, Candy craves drama and isn’t above manufacturing some. If you’re a classmate who wronged her or a boyfriend who cheated, watch your back. She’s no pushover, and revenge may be her favorite pastime. 
Jonah Bryson is the senior class heartthrob who breaks all the stereotypes. He’s a jock, but he isn’t the typical player. He’s moody and antisocial. No girl has gotten anywhere with him since his last girlfriend broke his heart.
Candy sees Jonah as a challenge and the perfect distraction. But she may be in over her head because unlike everyone else, Jonah isn’t buying her tough act. He sees the lost, lonely girl inside. He sees too much. When he looks at her that way, she wants to let her guard down and be vulnerable. But that’s the last thing she should do because her father’s world is spilling over into hers, and life is about to get real much sooner than Candy expected

Hey my lovelies, todays review is.... Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver.

Title: Vanishing Girls
Author: Lauren Oliver
Publisher: HarperCollins
Pub. Date: March 10th 2015
Date Read: Monday 20th July 2015
Pages: 357
Rating: 3.9/5
Goodreads Summary: New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver delivers a gripping story about two sisters inexorably altered by a terrible accident.

Dara and Nick used to be inseparable, but that was before the accident that left Dara's beautiful face scarred and the two sisters totally estranged. When Dara vanishes on her birthday, Nick thinks Dara is just playing around. But another girl, nine-year-old Madeline Snow, has vanished, too, and Nick becomes increasingly convinced that the two disappearances are linked. Now Nick has to find her sister, before it's too late.

In this edgy and compelling novel, Lauren Oliver creates a world of intrigue, loss, and suspicion as two sisters search to find themselves, and each other


Vanishing Girls is a novel about two sisters called Dara and Nick and their troubles leading up and following their accidents. Throughout there story is another mystery weaved in and that is the disappearance of a little girl. Will the girls ever find out what truly happened that night? 

Vanishing girls was an alright novel, it kept you compelled to find out what was going on, but sadly did not have the best storyline towards the end. As the story was going in so many directions, whilst reading I decided to write down any theories that I thought of at the time...

Theories whilst Reading

Theory #1 - Around 1/2 way through I started to believe that maybe Dara was dead and the dates used from Dara's parts were possibly from different years. 
Theory #2 - Page 170/284 - Nick could possibly have a split personality, as most of there present tense scenes together, they never interact. 

For me the ending seemed awkward. As the reader you had to sit there and piece together the puzzle yourself on what was going on in certain scenes. But the book is the sort of book, which would probably seem better once you have read it a second or third time. Due to this I have rated it 4 stars. 

(Spoiler - If you have not read the novel, do not read) The quote on the front of the novel (by E. Lockhart) basically gives away what happens in the book. So I guessed what happened before reading it.  (End of Spoiler)

Overall the book was alright, it wasn't bad, but for me it just seemed average and definately not as good as I expected. Due to me really loving Before I Fall and this being a contemporary novel written in a similar way I thought it would be great. In conclusion, I will buy this book to add to my Lauren Oliver collection and will probably reread in the future, but not any time soon.

That is it for todays book review, To keep more up to date with what I am reading, you can check out my Twitter, Goodreads and Instagram.

Hey my lovelies, today's review is Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls by Lynn Weingarten. I received this book as an ARC, thanks to net-galley for an honest review. I surprisingly really enjoyed this book, it was exactly what I wanted to read at the time and I am so glad, I was approved for it, which was why I rated it 4/5 stars on Goodreads. 

Title: Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls

Author: Lynn Weingarten

Publisher: Simon Pulse & Electric Monkey

Pub.Date: 2nd July 2015 

Date Read: 23rd June 2015 

Pages: 320

Rating: 4/5

Goodreads Summary:Pitched as Gone Girl meets Thirteen Reasons Why

June barely has time to mourn the death of her best friend Delia, before Delia's ex-boyfriend convinces her Delia was murdered, and June is swept into a tangle of lies, deceit, and conspiracy.

The reason this book isn't the full five stars is due to the fact it took me the first 75 pages to finally get into the book, for me the start was very slow paced and it just took me awhile to become engrossed and not want to put it down to do other things. But when reading, whatever you do don't put it down as then it really kicks in and you become hooked.

 Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls is about a 17/18 year old girl called June, whose ex-best friend commits suicide. Hearing this she doesn't believe her ex-best friend would do something like this, which leads her onto a hunt of her best friends killer. Along the way there are various plot twists and suspects a long the way, with the biggest plot twist just around half way through the book. How far would you go to stop your friends and families enemies? This seems to be an underlying theme throughout the novel. 

After finishing reading it you definitely understand why it was compared to Gone Girl, as I would class this as a psychological thriller on that sort of pedestal. Due to this being an arc I have received there is no spoilers in this review and I personally would recommend it. 

The ending is a cliffhanger, with an answer that I doubt we will ever learn. Unless there is a sequel... Nevertheless I really enjoyed this book and when it does come out, I will be picking it up to add the my collection. Thanks again to Netgalley and Lynn Weingarten for providing me with the book for this review. All opinions in this review are completely my own and are in no way, shape or form biased.

Hey my lovelies, todays review is The Sham by Ellen Allen. On a added note I received this ebook for an honest review. Sadly, I did not enjoy this book, It had all the makings of being in my top books, but sadly lacked a few key things for me. This is why on Goodreads, I rated this a measly 2/5 stars.

Title: The Sham
Author: Ellen Allen
Publisher: BookBaby
Pub. Date: September 7th 2014
Date Read: June 22nd 2015
Pages: 248
Rating: 2/5 stars
Goodreads Summary: When love leads to death, be careful who you trust…
Eighteen-year-old Emily Heath would love to leave her dead-end town, known locally as "The Sham", with her boyfriend, Jack, but he's very, very sick; his body is failing and his brain is shutting down. He's also in hiding, under suspicion of murder. Six months' ago, strange signs were painted across town in a dialect no one has spoken for decades and one of Emily's classmates washed up in the local floods. 
Emily has never trusted her instincts and now they're pulling her towards Jack, who the police think is a sham himself, someone else entirely. As the town wakes to discover new signs plastered across its walls, Emily must decide who and what she trusts, and fast: local vigilantes are hunting Jack; the floods, the police, and her parents are blocking her path; and the town doesn’t need another dead body
