Hell Followed with Us by Andrew Joseph White

How it qualifies: New to me author
Date Read: 9/22/2022
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: I'm not really one for post-apocalyptic stories, and I'm an atheist so religion isn't really my bag either, but the cover on this one is gorgeous so I gave it a change and I'm really glad I did. The gore could be a lot at times, so really if you can't stomach that it's not a book I'd recommend; but if when you get past that I thought the heart of the story was really well done. There was some really incredible and imaginative world building, and some truly lovely characters and representation. I thought Benji was a great MC and even though they were struggling through a lot showed tremendous strength and growth throughout the story. I'll definitely pick up more from White in the future

The Make-Up Test by Jenny L. Howe

Rating: 4 stars
Review: I have to say the author did a great job of pulling me into this story. I didn't like that boyfriend from the get-go, and never thought anything good could come from him. Same goes for that awful dad!

I did really like the author's writing style, and hopefully this is the start of a great career for them.

So, i need to read a book that was a favourite of a friend ( Trio) and i also needed to read a book rated 1/2 by a fried ( Susan) ..surprisingly enough this book worked for both 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️��
Sorry Trio , but im on Susans side . I dont really like TB but this isnt one of his mega long political books so i thought id be ok . There's just something about his writing that just doesnt suit me , its too wordy, too OTT , too....everything .
I think this may be the last TB I read tbh

Review:
Great story! I especially loved how omega Colt stood up against the alphas and their stereotyping. And Linden is going to be an awesome pack alpha. :)

Looking forward to reading more books of this series.

Face Blind by J.L. Merrow

How it qualifies: Recommended by Trio
Date Read: 9/25/2022
Rating 4 Stars
Review: I'm used to Merrow's more humorous works, but this was a much deeper more thought provoking read. If you're a fan of character driven stories with lots of growth this may just be a story for you. Adam and Corin have each recently been through a LOT, but they muddle through together and it was a beautiful story. I guessed one of the "twists" (Corrin's), not the other, but enjoyed both were there to add more depth and layers to everything going on rather than just being there for shock value. It was beautifully written from the developed characters to the rich and lovely setting. I think it could have used an epilogue, but maybe that was just me wanting more.

Amanda... I know you're going to LOVE it!!!

does the series rule apply? or does it actually have to be on the list?

I just glanced through the Q&A and it looks like the series rule does apply, so that's what I'm going with :) if there's a problem, I'll pick something else lol

Line Mates & Study Dates by Eden Finley
308 pages
How it Fits: Caipi recommended Goal Lines & First Times, I'm reading the next book in the series
Caipi's Shelf
Read: 26 Sep
Rating: 4 stars
Review: Gosh dang this series is hot! Eden Finley and Saxon James' CU Hockey series are all standalones, and the audio versions are performed by Iggy Toma and Alexander Cendese.

I have to say, I thought Asher was going to be really different after the way they set up his character in Goal Lines & First Times,... and honestly, I'm glad. I thought Asher was going to be more of a trouble child, but Kole whips him into ship right quick.

There's fantastic chemistry between these two, and some decent hockey scenes too.

Caipi used the series rule as well, I'm sure it's fine!

I didn't even notice 🤣 - cool, we outlaws can stick together Caipi!

This book isn't on Trio's list. Was it a rec from another teammate? If this isn't just a simple mix up of names and shelves, another book is going to need to fill this spot.

While we are waiting to figure out what happened with Janeylou's book for Task 4, I will assign Task 5. I will not assign Task 6 until Task 4 is resolved though.

Here is your next task!��

Task 5 - 2. Each player reads the first book in a series, can be same or different series - no pass for this task.

Every teammates reads a book numbered 1 or lower in a numbered series listed on GR. Teammates can read the same or different series. Please include the series and number in your completion posts.

Review: I kinda felt like I had already read this book before, and eventually realized that I had not but I wouldn’t be surprised if I had (if that makes sense). It was alright, but a little forgettable. I did really enjoy the narration though!

How it Fits: #1 in series

Review:
A.M. Arthur certainly knows how to write abused and downtrodden characters. My heart went out to both of these boys, and I loved watching them brighten up each others' lives.

A nice performance in the audio version by Tyler Stevens.

Cutting It Close by Reese Knightley
Pages: 227
How it qualifies: #1 in the Code of Honor Series
Read: September 29th
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5)
Review:
Fast paced action, parts back home on the ranch in Texas and parts out on a mission. Since River's whole team was participating, there were a lot of characters to get to know, which was here and there confusing. But I think some of them are the main characters of the following books.
Now for the romance, I'm always so happy when a split couple gets a second chance! So of course I loved to see River and Maddox getting back together but honestly, why did Maddox during all the years never try to find River and tell him his reasons for breaking River's heart? I didn't get it.

One book for Amazing Race, Bingo and Hogwarts! :)

Girls, ive had a change of heart and think im going to give CLUE a miss this time round .

Still waiting for Brittany to announce her new challenge and quite a lot going on , so perhaps next time

Updated my post to completion.
