These are some of the e-books that I've been sent to review:

Most of these come out in 2015 so I have to get ahead on my current blog posts before I can read them but I'm so excited to have been sent all of them.

"Summer Demons" Review

"Summer Demons" Mia Hoddell

Source: Netgalley 

Stars: 4

Jenna Shaw is suffered a horrible tragedy, every time she closes her eyes she sees the scene replay in her head. Being near water makes it worse, almost unbearable. She thought that a vacation would help, give her a break from the guilt she feels. However her plans of sun bathing and reading by the beach are interrupted by the handsome, charismatic Ethan Brooks. 

Jenna wants nothing to do with Ethan, she came to the resort to heal and forget, not to jump head first into another relationship. 

Ethan however is persistent in his quest for Jenna. What started off as him chasing something- someone unattainable is quickly turning into an undeniable attraction that goes above and beyond a summer fling. 

Even though Ethan wasn't what Jenna was looking for maybe he'll be just what she needed in order to overcome the guilt that is slowly drowning her and the sorrow that weighs her down. 

While this was a short book I was warned about it in advance so I won't let that alter my review. Since it was so short I don't want to give anything away so all I will say is that I sincerely enjoyed the story and would have loved for it be longer. 

Until next time,

Cover Reveal "Lost To Me"

Lost To Me

by Jamie Blair

Release Date: 08/19/14

Summary from Goodreads:

Lauren Kelling’s prom night is a memory she’ll never forget—in her nightmares. She had the dress, the hair, and romantic first time plans with her boyfriend, Kolton Seidel. But what should have been the best night of her life bleeds into terror when she’s brutally attacked.

Now, Lauren relives the events leading up to prom, unraveling the clues that should have warned her of the trauma to come. Like Kolton ’s malicious ex-girlfriend, who’ll do anything to rip them apart. Or Kolton’s mentally unstable brother.

After the tragedy, Lauren wants to hide, disfigured inside and out, while Kolton drowns in a sea of guilt. Only together can the two of them lay rest to the past and heal each other, through a love too strong to break.

Not My Cup Of Tea ARC Review of "Virgin"

"Virgin" By Radhika Sanghani

Source: Netgalley 

Stars: 4

Release Date: August 5th

Ellie Kolstakis is 21 years old and much to her dismay she is still a virgin. 

After spending years listening to countless friends talk about their first times, friends with benefits and one night stands Ellie has had enough. 

She now has one goal and one goal only. Lose her virginity and lose it as soon as possible. 

She's over the cliches that your first time should be special and with someone you love. Screw the rose petals and the romantic music. She wants to get it over with and move on with her life. 

When she tells her friend Emma her plan and about her previously failed attempts, they both decide to start a blog vlog. Ellie will shares her worries and her insecurities and Emma (being more experienced) will share her stories and wisdom. 

Ellie's story is, in one word, hilarious. 

From the moment I picked it up I couldn't help but laugh hysterically. I loved how she could look back at something that at the time seemed disastrous and humiliating and just chuckle at it and move on. 

Her and Emma's vlog posts were probably my favorite part of the book, while writing about something most people would find embarrassing they found a way to make light of it while still answering questions and providing information to those less knowledgeable than them. 

While I thought it was a good read I felt like there was still something missing in it for me. Alas, it just wasn't my cup of tea. But it made a good tequila shot. 

Until next time,

Ginger

These are the physical books that I've added to my collection since the beginning of July: 

These two were sent to me for review from the publisher.

Technically I already had Shiver, Linger and Forever but I included them since they are now signed (!!!) The other three are brand new and I got them signed as well. 

My beautiful, beautiful copy of Sinner with the limited edition cover.

A picture of the back.

This I got at the local bookstore for a mere 2.99, my deal of the month.

All of these I got at Barnes and Noble with coupons.

Finally I ordered all of these from BookOutlet when they sent out that $10.00 coupon.

And that's all for this month, hopefully I'll get around to posting the e-book copies I got sent for review sometime soon-ish. 

Until next time, 
Ginger
