Deadly to Love by Mia Hoddell

Deadly to Love (The Elementals)Deadly to Love by Mia Hoddell
My rating: 5of 5 stars
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it (my current rating) really liked it (my current rating)

I was honestly... surprised by this book. The description didn't give me a lot to expect from this, but it sounded pretty good. Maybe a little definite and final, but nonetheless it sounded like something I'd read.

I think one of my favorite things about this book is the completely untraditional way Kai and Rea fell in love. It was a very original idea, not to mention modern. I loved that little twist, because nowadays in most books when the main characters fall in love they always follow the same boring, cliched, traditional approach. And honestly? It gets boring. This was different, and I absolutely loved that.

I can't wait for the next book to come, I'm really looking forward to reading that. This story had such a good plot and the story structure was sound. I find that a lot of self-published books have atrosious plot structure and everything falls apart. This story was great, and now there's a new cover and all the errors are gone! So I bumped up my rating to five stars because of that. It really was a good story.

I am going to highly suggest reading this if you ever find the time, because I think it was wonderful and overall an amazing read. I wasn't expecting to like it so much, and in the beggining I will admit I scoffed at the way it started but in the end I had fallen in love with this story.

Sing Me Home by Kate DeVantier

Sing Me Home by Kate DeVantier


 My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

     A song at the beginning of the story. Well I wonder who on earth is going to sing in this story now? Clues, oh clues, I love how writers can drop hints for us readers from the first lines of a story. And someone does sing in this lovely story, Sing Me Home. It’s a beautiful story filled with pain and loss and at the end of the day, it’s a story about fighting to keep going.
     I would recommend reading this to everyone. The imagery is beautiful, using a wide variety of fancy words without trying. The plot structure is sound and it keeps you wanting to go back and read more. It was a very cute and prim story, which was nice even in the story’s short length. Short but sweet, a lovely read.
     Well done and good luck to your writing, Kate DeVantier!                              
"Outstanding - clever story, well written and descriptive that creates a curiosity that will have you anxiously turning the pages to discover the outcome. You won't want to set it down once you start. The author writes about young romance the way Taylor Swift sings about it." - from Lulu
I couldn't have said it better myself!
