April TBR

Hopefully I can get out of this reading slump because I wanna read ALL of these and then some :)

March Wrap Up

So it was a very depressing reading month. I've been in a serious reading slump and though I read these books I really didn't enjoy them. Maybe I just need to get away from contemporary romance novels for a bit. But I'm still 10 books ahead in my goodreads reading challenge!! Let's hope April is better :)

Review: Twisted (Torn #2) by K.A. Robinson

Edition: Paperback
Pages: 304
Publish Date: March 14, 2013
Publisher: Atria Books
Genre: New Adult Romance
Series: Torn
Goodreads Rating: 4.05 (9,215 ratings)

So I wasn't a huge fan of Torn but I gave it 3.5 stars hoping that this book would be better. I got them both from Book Outlet so it's not like it was a huge investment but it was a huge waste of time. 
I didn't enjoy how clueless and naive Chloe is, like it was bad enough in the first book being torn between the long time best friend Logan, and the bad boy Drake who she has a strong immediate connection with. Then there was the cheating. It was just ridiculous. 
I thought this one would be filled with all the family and life drama rather then boy drama, but of course they through in a new guy, Jordan, who was the family friend that she saw years back and lost her virginity to. It was so ridiculous, Drake had every right to worry and hate on the douche, but of course it was all his fault because in all her (what looked like) cheating he started using again. 
Overall it was less the story and more the characters. Chloe was such an idiot I just kept banging my head on the wall just to shut her up. 
I am so not succeeding at bringing myself out of this reading slump.

Review: Reclaiming The Sand (#1) by A. Meredith Walters

Edition: ebook
Pages: 342
Publish Date: March 17, 2014
Publisher: Createspace
Genre: New Adult Romance
Series: Reclaiming The Sand
Goodreads Rating: 4.17 (3,742 ratings)

So I've been in a serious reading slump for about 20 days. I had started 3 different books, wasn't enjoying any of them but this was the one I managed to finish. I really wanted to enjoy this book, it may be just cause I was in such a slump that it wasn't enough to break me out of it or impress me in any way. I may come back to it some time in the future but for now I will say I did not enjoy this book.
I really wanted too since it was similar to Bully (Penelope Douglas) combined with Puddle Jumping (Amber L. Johnson) and I loved both of these books, but I think it was mainly the characters in this book particularly. Ellie was a complete B*tch. I know it stated that and said in the epilogue that you were going to hate this chick, and it was right. But it also said I would love Flynn, which I did not. I realize he has an illness which causes all these problems, but it was too much in my opinion. Puddle Jumping did it well by only showing the lack of emotion and social understanding, whereas Flynn was both unemotional or overemotional. Like complete freak outs where you were scared he'd seriously hurt or kill someone. I don't want to judge too harshly because I know it wasn't his fault, but it was too much, and it made me dislike the character very much. Then of course there were Ellie's "friends". Only one managed to slightly redeem herself by the end but I mean they were some seriously f*ucked up characters. 
Overall, as much as I wanted to like this story the characters got in the way of my feelings for this book, as well as my reading problems at the moment. I may or may not read the second installment, but it's highly doubtful.
10 days left in March! I atleast need to read 1 more book! This whole reading slump, coupled with mass amounts of work, a real social life, and a boyfriend is really messing with my reading schedule!!

Thanks for reading! Hopefully I'll have another review up soon!
