Rating: 3.5 Bows!

Now that Lucas is back in her life, Sienna is sure the drama between them is over. But then he comes to her with a new offer: his band, Your Toxic Sequel, is going on tour and he wants her with him—working in wardrobe and as his girl.

Life on the road is a complete 180 from everything Sienna has ever known. Not only does she have to deal with Lucas’s band members, but she’s also forced to be around Cilla, the lead singer of Wicked Lambs. Still, despite horny band mates and a gorgeous rock goddess determined to sink her talons into Lucas, Sienna stays by his side.

Then the letters start to come—harassing messages from Lucas’s ex-wife, Sam.

At first, Sienna brushes them off, keeping Lucas in the dark because Sam is bad for his music. But after Sam’s contact turns personal and violent, Sienna has no other choice but to confront Lucas. If she’s ever going to understand the twisted pull Sam has on him, she has to know his secret. But when he finally reveals it, will they be able to survive the consequences? Or will it tear them apart, consuming them?

It's finally out!!! After months and months of waiting we finally get to see what happens to Sienna and Lucas. I gotta say, after all the waiting and the building angst, I was expecting this book to be phenomenal. I'm a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I liked the book, but after all the anticipation and waiting, it was not what I was hoping for. 


Consumed starts right where Devoured left off. Sienna and Lucas are reunited and after some coercing, she agrees to go on tour with YTS and be their "wardrobe consultant". Everything is fine and dandy, we have the occasional Cilia jealous fits but that nothing major. Then Sienna starts to get letters and gifts from Lucas's crazy ex-wife Samantha. 

Now, from everything we know about Samantha, I was expecting some major drama...and I think that fell a little flat for me. I wanted drama, angst, a little bit of frustration and sadness but nope, that didn't happen. 

The main mystery of this Devoured series is that Samantha knows something about Lucas. So most of the story is about trying to get to know what that is. We don't find out until 3/4 of the book AFTER something major happens to Sienna (which reminded me of Music of the Heart by Katie Ashley btw) and that was a big relief for me. Not because of what the secret was but because it was something unexpected and at this point in the book I needed something shocking! 

My biggest let down was the ending with Samantha. I mean COME ON! After everything that happened because of her, you're gonna give us that closure about her?  It baffled me. 

Aside from all that, Sienna was great, glad she grew a backbone and was able to stand and fight for herself and Lucas Wolfe was just as sexy, dreamy, and naughty as ever. I swooned every time he spoke, sigh...

Over all I'm happy that Sienna and Lucas got their HEA and sam and cilia are out of the picture. It was a good conclusion for the series but I just wish I would have been a little longer and had something grand in it. Even then, thank you Emily Snow for giving us Lucas Wolfe! <3

Mine

Mine (Real, #2)
by Katy Evans
Rating: 5 Bows!

Brooke never imagined she would end up with the man who is every woman's dream, but not all dreams end happily ever after, and just when they need each other the most, she is torn away from his side. Now with distance and darkness between them, the only thing left is to fight for the love of the man she calls MINE.

Totally worth the wait! Words can not express how much I love this book...Please forgive me for all the fan-girling I will be doing!!!

Remington "Riptide" Tate. My Blue eyed fighter. I am so in love with you that it hurts to think that your are fictional character! I had already fallen in love with you in Real ( Real, #1) but you blew me away in Mine. 

Remy was just as possessive, cocky, protective, and completely Alpha male in this novel. The lengths he goes to in order to protect whats his is heart warming. I loved every emotion he had for brooke...even the bad ones. We see a new side of Remy and it's emotional and heartbreaking, I would be lying if I said that I didn't cry. 

Brooke, I love her. She's strong, determined, and will do anything for Remy. I honestly do love her, which is why it pains me to say that I spent half the book wanting to slap her. Her emotions were all over the place, and I can understand to a point given your condition (I will not spoil that for you guys!), but yours were too much. 

Pete, Riley, Diane, and Coach Lupe add great character to this novel. I think Remy could not be as a great a person as he is without them. 

The best thing I love about this book is its concept. Katy Evans took a mental disorder, being Bipolar, and showed that it does not have to hinder your life. IT DOES NOT CONTROL YOU. Katy Evans gave us knowledge on this through a story about perseverance and never giving up and wrapped it up in a package called Remington Tate. 

My heart felt satisfied and extremely happy at then end of the novel and Remy and Brook's story will forever be in my heart. One of my favorite series of all times, hands down. 

Oath Of Servitude

Oath Of Servitude (The Punishment Sequence, 1)
by C.E Wilson
Rating: 4 Bows!

This is the story of Teague and Cailin, two teenagers who have been brought together by fate. Teague, a human, struggles to come to terms with the consequences of a recent accident that has destroyed the happy life that he had once enjoyed. Cailin, a pixi, is trying to stay true to herself while fighting against forces beyond her control that have exiled her from her home into this strange world of humans. She fears the darkness. He cannot escape it. But when the two of them are thrown together, they begin to discover the light inside of themselves.

*I was given this book in exchange for my honest review*

I haven't read a book before that dealt with Pixies so I was eager to see how someone would bring a story of Pixies to life. 

Cailin is sent to the human world for a year to help a friend of her fathers in exchange for avoiding the Darkness. This is where we meet Teague. Teague has suffered an accident and is now blind and angry. This book is the story of how Cailin a tiny pixie helps Teague, a human, feel normal again. 

I liked Cailin. She may be an inch tall or so but she is one feisty lady! She's got attitude and sass yet shows fear when thrown into the unknown. In a way, Teague and Cailin had much more in common than they realized, Teague felt out of place because of his condition and Cailin was in a foreign place and even when she was at home, she was the oddball. It wasn't hard to see that Cailin and Teague were good for each other and I was thoroughly entertained by their interactions.

I felt a sense of happiness watching Teague accept his condition while also accepting Cailin. I was so into the book that I kept wondering, "How is a their relationship going to work when they are different sizes?!" I guess I'm gonna have to wait until the next book to find out though..sigh!

I didn't really care for the conversation of Cailins sisters in her homeland, it was confusing to be honest. However, the book was great and I loved the concept of being able to make a difference no matter your size. This is an interesting series and one that I will continue to read!
