Thoughts on "But I Need You" - W. Willows - This Love Hurts series Book 2

Image
This one had me really in suspense most of the book. This one seems to be more about Marcus's story rather than anyone's however there is a huge character developing moment for not only Delilah but also Cody.  We find out that both Delilah and Marcus are very close to the same man however, they knew complete different versions of him. Marcus knew him more as a teacher and a crueler man. Delilah knew him more as a loving father.  Marcus first met and fell hard for Delilah when they were little. Delilah didn't even know he was around. However, Marcus knew her and was watching. He was also watching Cody for years before making himself known. I find that odd that he waited so long to connect with either of them, however given his tendencies I guess that is understandable. I feel like that its not a stretch to believe that the things that happened to him, he would turn to a darker side of life. However, I do find the things he changed about himself a little weird. It's nice ...

Thoughts on "This Love Hurts" - W. Willows - This Love Hurts series Book 1

            This is my first Winter Willows book and so far I am here for her! I love the way she writes this book with her way of describing how the characters feel and the surroundings really paints the scene and picture in my head well. This book is one that kept me guessing and leaves you reeling until you start the next one in the series. I listened to this book in like 2 days. I couldn't stop! I have not started the second book yet so I don't have a lot of answers to my questions yet.     The FMC (Delilah)  is a strong woman in a tense and tough working field. Coming from a smaller town and a rough childhood, she consumes herself in her job. So much so, that she moved to follow a case. That's where she now and things are taking a rough turn. She's now the center of attention for someone who's attention is the worst to get.  Both MMCs (Marcus and  Cody ) are strong and brooding men. Both are highly attracted to Delilah, ho...

My Thoughts on Mexican Gothic - Silvia Moreno-Garcia

    Holy Lanta where to start. I'm going to try to do this without giving any spoilers. This was a book club read, had it not been for book club I probably never would have read this book. The cover just doesn't draw me in. However, with that being said I went into book club without reading anything about this book. *Highly recommend doing that by the way.*     This story is a wild ride and I loved every mintue of it!! It's about a young woman who is off to help see what's going on with her cousin who had recently married a basic stranger. The young woman gets trapped there with her and they have a wild ride to figure out what is happening and how to get out. This is set in late 1900s Mexico and the author did great at bringing that time period alive.      This book does have some science aspects and I'm generally not a big science girly but the Author Silvia tied this is phenomenally. She did amazing at bringing out the science without it be...
