It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - 22 February 2021

#IMWAYR is a weekly meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at The Book Date.

Happy Monday Bookdragons! I hope your week is off to a good start! I had two job interviews this morning and I hope one of them works out. 

What I Read Last Week: 

The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager

Warning: I've been on a Riley Sager binge... and I'm loving every minute of it. I'm so glad I took the time to read this one... it might be my favorite of all of his so far.  

The Bachelor by Carly Phillips
This was a reread for a blog tour. I read it originally probably 13 years ago and loved it. It was nice to revisit it with a new cover and updated technology. 

Lock Every Door by Riley Sager

I actually was pretty apprehensive going into this book because I've heard mixed reviews but I ended up really loving it (and relating to Jules because, well, life right now). It's really kind of eerie thinking about the building and what it was being used for. *Shivers*

Tempting Heat by Sara Whitney
Seriously... this book was a perfect read for the recent weather (although we haven't had as much snow here in Wisconsin as further south thankfully). It's a cute, fast-read perfect for an afternoon where you're snowed in. 

The Booty by Willa Nash

Okay, so I got this for being part of the author's newsletter (it's the pen name of Devney Perry) and it's been sitting on my kindle for a little bit. Following my need of a palate cleanser yesterday I devoured this one in a little over an hour. The festival in this book sounds kind of awesome... haha 

Currently Reading:

Final Girls by Riley Sager

I tried reading this one last year but couldn't get into it, but it's the only Riley Sager currently published that I haven't read yet so I'm giving it another try... this time in audiobook. It's moving along better now so maybe I was in a slump last time.  

Next Read

Moon Child by Gaby Triana


I just added this to my kindle (since it released last week) but I've been looking forward to it since I first heard about it a couple months ago. The author sold me when the blurb describes it as "The Craft meets The Shining."

{Book Review} THE ALIEN'S FUTURE by Ella Maven


The Alien's Future
Drixonian Warrior, #0.5
by Ella Maven
Publisher: Self-Published
Release Date: February 1, 2020
Genre: Sci-Fi, Romance

Blurb:
Meet the Drixonian Warriors who are bred to fight, f*ck, and shake things up.

Space ship travel when you’ve been kidnapped sucks. I don’t get a pillow, there’s no snacks, and worst of all—the whole ship crashes. Except, it doesn’t crash on Earth, or even Mars. Nope, I’m in a whole new galaxy on a foreign planet and some body-builder-looking blue horned aliens with lots of piercings have decided I’m their new play thing. And not in a good way.

Until one alien decides he’s not going to share, and maybe I have a concussion from the crash, because I’m all about the possessive way he protects me. But there’s no way he’ll fight his whole clan for me… right?

Review:
I've seen books in genres like this before but this is the first one that made me want to check it out. I found out about this book during Virtually ApollyCon and got it free for signing up for the author's newsletter. 

I wasn't expecting much going in... like I said it's a sub-genre I haven't explored too closely yet. But I ended up loving it. It was fun, sexy, sassy, and a quick, enjoyable read. It gives you just enough of a taste and set up for the books to come and leaves you wanting more. 

I can't wait to read the full-length books in the series.               

My Rating:

4 of 5 Stars!
