Voracious (The Edge Of Darkness Trilogy) By Leigh Rivers, A Book Review


 I enjoyed this book even more than the first. Explicit sex scenes, but I didn’t feel any of them were used as filler this time, and the story was great. This is a trilogy, and it didn’t disappoint, leaving the reader no choice but to get the final book after completing this one.

The characters were created and well written, giving the reader a solid footing to enjoy, and even hate and cry for them and the events that happened as the story developed. It was a great read, and most people will enjoy it. The scenes showed a very strong and heartfelt love between the main characters that no matter what happened, Stacey and Kade could not lose or have taken away from them. 

It is touching, loving, heartbreaking, shocking, and emotional throughout, keeping the pages turning and the story engaging without fail. Everyone would enjoy this romance even though parts of it are dark. It shows light and love triumph, which keeps our hearts pounding, and curiosity plunges us forward to read the end. 

This book doesn't just propel you to the next book; it demands it. Truly, you have no choice but to read the final book unless you want to dwell on suppositions about the ending forever. I gave this 5 out of 5 stars.

Insatiable (The Edge Of Darkness Trilogy) By Leigh Rivers, A Book Review


 I was surprised. The book was promoted as a Young Adult book, and reading the ad caption, I thought it would be interesting. It was interesting all right, and now I want to find out what happens next, but I was totally unprepared for the content.

It is definitely not a YA book. When I went to Amazon to post a review, I looked to see what category it is in: Romantic Erotica. So, I am sure you now realize, it is completely explicit sex and some romance, but also suspense, and twists of a tale book.

I can read pretty much anything, but I don’t like thinking a book is one thing and realizing it is something else entirely. I did enjoy the story, but I thought the sex scenes were much more than necessary. It felt like filler sometimes, to add more pages, but it didn’t enhance the plot. Well, maybe to some it does. But for me, it stole time from the story's progression, stalling the plot.

I did enjoy the characters, though, which made it much more interesting and fun to read. Of course, now I have to read the second book because I am so curious as to where the author is going to take this. 

If you like to read steamy and explicit sex scenes with romance, you will enjoy this book. The story was well thought out and enticing you to read the next book as well. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars.

The Day We Destroyed Earth By S.K. Apollo, A Book Review


 This story is apocalyptic, but the characters and the writing of the events make it seem real. Living it with them, turning the pages to stay in the story, was my reaction. I found it a great story and a fun adventure.

There are times in the book where I didn’t like parts, like spiders. I hate spiders, and I really don’t want to read about them, but it was still real and engaging enough to keep me reading. There were some writing issues, but nothing that would deter me from completing the book and thoroughly enjoying it.

The characters were interesting and actually true to real-life actions, mentally, emotionally, and physically. I could believe it from every angle. The parts about our and the world governments are so true, it is disturbing. Then the passages of what we, the people, need and must do are also true to a frightening degree.

I would suggest reading this book for numerous reasons, but the first is that it is a great story you will enjoy, and it will leave you thinking about it even after it's read. More than once. I gave this 5 out of 5 stars.
