Everything I Do by M.C. Frank

Everything I Do

by M.C. Frank


ARC

Rating (1-5) 📘 📘📘📘📘
Genre - Medieval, Historical Romance, Fiction
Format - PDF

*Amazon Blurb*

A robber and a princess.
A girl disguised as a boy.
A medieval re-imagining of the legend of Robin Hood packed with adventure, sacrifice and romance.

Robin Hood, hidden deep in the Sherwood Forest, is fighting to restore the crown to its rightful king, surrounded by faithful friends, green leaves and clear skies. Burdened with secrets, betrayal and an incredible responsibility, he struggles to stay alive and keep the starving people fed. One day, a boy saves him from the Sheriff’s poisoned arrows. Robin, impressed by the slender youth’s courage and skill, takes the boy with him to the forest.

Only, the boy is not a boy.

In the castle of Nottingham, a maiden who used to be a princess is forced to obey the wishes of a tyrannical Sheriff. She dons on male clothes and trains to become a fierce assassin, vowing to catch the greatest criminal in the kingdom. But when she saves Robin Hood’s life nearly losing her own, she is rescued by the outlaws.

When Robin and the “boy” meet, two worlds collide, resulting in unimaginable danger and intense romance. Who will survive when they learn each other’s secrets? What happens when the assassin falls in love with her victim?


*My Review* 

M.C. Frank does it again! This author has a way to make you not only "see" the book, but feel like you're actually there. I've never read the original Robin Hood (gasp, I know) so I can't compare the two, but this version was amazing.

So there's Robin Hood, the guy who everyone knows...the whole steal from the rich and give to the poor. Then of course the rest of the outlaws that all live in the forest. But who is this young boy that finds himself saving Robin's life? It's not a young boy at all, but an a young girl who has been sent to kill Robin Hood. She has trained for so long to assassinate Robin and get the revenge that she seeks, yet she keeps letting each opportunity pass by. Why? She can't love him, he's the enemy, right?

The Other Woman by Sandie Jones

The Other Woman

by Sandie Jones



Rating (1-5) - 📘📘📘📘1/2
Genre -Suspense
Format -Paperback
Pages -


ARC- set to release August 21, 2018

*Blurb*
HE LOVES YOU: Adam adores Emily. Emily thinks Adam’s perfect, the man she thought she’d never meet.

BUT SHE LOVES YOU NOT: Lurking in the shadows is a rival, a woman who shares a deep bond with the man she loves.

AND SHE'LL STOP AT NOTHING: Emily chose Adam, but she didn’t choose his mother Pammie. There’s nothing a mother wouldn’t do for her son, and now Emily is about to find out just how far Pammie will go to get what she wants: Emily gone forever.

THE OTHER WOMAN will have you questioning her on every page, in Sandie Jones' chilling psychological thriller about a man, his new girlfriend, and the mother who will not let him go.



*Review*
First, I feel that this book must have been wrote pre-cell phone because no one is going to try and prove what another person is doing or saying without recording it as a form of proof to show people. If a person is threatening you (like Pammie was doing to Emily) so bad and making your life miserable, you're definitely going to do something about it more than just trying to "get them caught". I hated Pammie aka Pamela right off the bat. It's one thing to want to make sure that your child is in a relationship with someone that deserves them, but it's also their life not the mothers. Plus, there's really only so much you should do for your child. At the same time I was aggravated with Emily for handling things the way she did. If you're going to be marrying someone then there shouldn't be secrets. If you have an issue with someone, speak up. I don't know if I'd have been able to keep my mouth shut for as long as she did. Both Pammie and Emily needed to grow a backbone and speak what was on their minds instead of beating around the bush, then again, if they did that there wouldn't have been a book.
The book was definitely full of suspense, but the ending left me feeling a little disappointed. Everything ended to easy for all that the woman went through. I feel like all that happened should have took longer than a few pages to finish on. There should have been more of a fight or something like that.

Turtles All The Way Down by John Green

Turtles All The Way Down

by John Green



Rating (1-5) - 📘📘📘📘
Genre - Teens, Depression & Mental Illness, Anxiety Disorders, Coming Of Age
Format -Hardcover
Pages - 286


*Blurb*
Sixteen-year-old Aza never intended to pursue the mystery of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Russell Pickett’s son, Davis.
   
Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts. 
 
In his long-awaited return, John Green, the acclaimed, award-winning author of Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars, shares Aza’s story with shattering, unflinching clarity in this brilliant novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship.



*Review*
Having previously read The Fault In Our Stars, I felt like Aza was a lot like Hazel. They were both teenage girls that had a disease that made their lives difficult. I can't imagine living with a disorder that makes you feel like you have no say in your simple day to day activities. No way to make your head stop questioning everything you did or say.

I didn't read the blurb before reading the book (as I tend not to with most books) and had no idea that there was going to be a search going on for Russell Pickett. I almost felt like that part of the book was a bit cheesy. I feel as if it would have been more relatable to real life if it had just been about the typical teenage life and not have some manhunt added into it.

I did find this book extremely easy to read and follow along with.
