Don't Let Me Go by J.H. Trumble

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can't even begin to tell you about the emotional roller coaster ride with my feeling and emotions that this story took me on. I'm still flabbergasted today when I think about it.

It's a very well written story of young love, heartbreak, finding yourself and just a whole slew of events and circumstances that will have you laughing, super pissed to crying tears. I had my moment that if one of the characters were real I'd wanna kick his arse to the rafters.

This story is about Nate and Adam, it's young adult so don't go looking for tons of sex or sex scenes. Those remain closeted and to me that was quite refreshing for a change to read a book that wasn't nothing but sex, sex and more sex. It's a story that will keep you hooked as it had kept me riveted to each and every word and page. You won't be able to put this one down.

I look forward to the next one by this author. Two thumbs up!

A Cold Dark Place

A Cold Dark Place by H.D. Hatcher

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There is no HEA ending here in this book.

It is with a heavy heart that I sit here and write this review and in dire need of finding a happy place to be at the moment. It has broken me down to tears that I am unable to control or stop and I will be haunted by this book for quite some time still.

This story is in first person and spoken through the eyes of Luke. You'll read about his past growing up, what he's currently going through and the trials and tribulations of love found, love lost and complete heartbreak that it so utterly devastating to him that LIFE is just no longer with living. Luke is completely broken, he's shattered and there seems to him no way of going forward or moving on and making life better for him.

There were type o's but this one time I was able to forgo them just to finish this tragic story told by Luke. His love for another, Andy, is so deep that nothing on this God green earth can replace his devotion and emotional deep seated love. For me in reading this, it's like finding your soul-mate, having it within your reach, within your grasp, just right there, but unable to keep this an make it yours.

Honestly, have something very, very upbeat ready at hand should you choose to read this one and note: There is no hawt man on man sweaty sex which I know apart from the content might deter some from reading this book.

Again, emotional, traumatic, and deep story that is well written in my opinion if you can handle this one without allowing your emotions to run ragged like my have. Keep tissues at hand.

     Hey everyone, sorry I have been on like I should. But still dealing with a shitty connection.

     I know most of you are parents and are proud of your children no matter the age. I also know that when we make decisions for our children it's usually in their be interests. Well, I made a decision a few years ago that was in the best interest of my mother's granddaughters. Now they don't want anything to do with me as their mother. Hell, as far as they are concerned I'm not even their mother. Maybe it's what I deserve who knows? The oldest girl blames me for leaving home and getting pregnant. My so called sister says that I don't deserve my unborn baby because of my mate saying that I'm going to fall hard and so forth. A person can only imagine what it's like to have your own children hate you and to want nothing to do with you..That is a wound that cuts so deep and you feel like it's never going to heal. Right now I don't know if I'm every going to make it through this emotional Hell? I don't understand why anyone would want absolutely anything to do with me because I am such a complete and utter fuck up? I shine through my writing, I'm called an angel by our sweet Demon but I am no angel and I am far from perfect. But right now I wish I could just drop off the face of the earth. Or at least find a way to deal with this pain... I also know that time heals all wounds but this wound is soul cutting deep don't know if it will ever heal.Here is the message from a 14 year old child and my so call sister...Then tell me how you would feel if you were in my position?

o    its Gabby and everything is fine. . Trustme would i ever lie about life dfine. no so u rnt gonna kick her butt cuz ud haveto get threw me sis bubby and the boys. trust me i wont let u touch her. if u really cared about us, u wouldnt have left and got knocked up. so its u thats not fine or right. bye

o    Wow I haven't talked to her in forever...and yea I do believe u shouldn't be allowed to have a kid in ur situation especially with him and the fact he has had his kids taken away...but ur gonna learn that on ur own. I do believe u need to fall flat on ur ass without help from anyone cause u need to grow up and get a job and take care of urself, hell u couldn't take care of the kids u have what the hell makes me think u can take care of another innocent life...and as far as protecting the girls u ain't done shit but hurt them their whole lives..and now they have to suffer more cause u went and got knocked up and u plan on keeping this one when u couldn't keep them...u are selfish and even though u thought u did right with those two...news flash u did hella wrong...and u can hate me but somebody has to stand up and tell u the truth in reality....and BTW I only said I would take him cause she said u was gonna give the baby to her and I will be damned if I let that bitch or anyone else raise my niece or nephew.

Big Deal by Katsura

Big Deal, Volume 1: Lust for Vengeance by Katsura

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fergus and Judas... How these 2 characters will remain in my mind for a very long time yet to come.

Katsura not only brings you into the world of gangsta, but the exquisite few pages of illustrations and art within this book are utterly and completely amazing!

This story was not to me your typical romance. It is, but it isn't. It's so much more. Usually you have your good guy and your bad, but these characters are all sinister, criminals that not even serving time in the pen will stop their crime spree. But when they love you can feel it through the well written words. You even have your fair amount of angst. All out for their own pocket and gain.

In this well depicted story I enjoyed every word, every act of drama and not for one moment was I able to put it down. I tried for a moment and kept looking over at my reading no matter how tired I was and just had to keep going with it.

HEI ending? I'm still trying to decide on whether or not it is. To a degree perhaps, but that's all I'm going to reveal. Rest assured I will pass along that I can't wait to sink my teeth into the next story to this one and see what happens in Volume 2 which I DO hope is not too far off in waiting. I'm impatient, damnit!

I urge you to read it. This author will take you a different world than the one you're used to. I'm not disappointed. That's apparent from my review :winks:

Two thumbs up all the way!
