Lindsey Kelk: I Heart New York series

Hey guys,

I told you I read 'I Heart London' first even though it's the second to last book in the series. Ooops. But, here's my thoughts on the whole series up to then...

Our protagonist is Angela from originally from London who finds out her fiancé has been cheating on her. She, in the tone of the novel, loses her shit and moves to New York.

We follow her story on life, making new friends, new relationships, getting a job and trying to get over her ex.

I'm quickly skimming over the details here as there's like four books to go through but I want to make this point early on...

These books are freaking HILARIOUS. Like the things this girl does/ the people she meets/ the situations that arise. Absolute gold. I read two of them in ONE day... ONE DAY!

Next in the series is 'I Heart Hollywood', although I have to say Hollywood might not be a place I want to visit. Seems a bit over rated to me but the story is good. Angela tries her hand at 'proper' journalism, although as a journalist, interviewing celebs doesn't seem like news to me. I'm a snob, whatever. ;)

Anyway, she runs into difficulties with her interviewee, gets far too drunk and ends up getting caught in a series of photo's which could threaten her relationship.

 In this one, we get a glimpse into Jenny's shoddy past and get more of an insight into her life and how she ended up back in New York. Fascinating stuff ;)

'I Heart Paris' is a different kind of disaster. A romantic trip away with Alex for his birthday does not got to plan at all! 

 He's over to perform at a festival in Paris, she has to write an article for a super snooty fashion magazine mix that with two-faced bitches and an angry ex. 

 There. Is. Fireworks. And I heart it.

Then we come to 'I Heart Vegas'. Faced with the possibility of deportation, Angela is forced to exhaust every option including getting married. :O

When Jenny gets her the most amazing Christmas present ever.. A trip to Vegas baby!

Only everything seems to get so much worse for Angela when she's there. The proposals she sends out to magazines, in the hope to regaining a media visa are all rejected, her proposal to Alex is a disaster as well as a heap of Jenny drama. 

 Vegas does not go well for Angela. Although she does meet up with a lovely friend from Hollywood, wins big in the casino, spends roughly about 72 hours drunk and/or hungover and gets to wear some amazing clothes. So jealous. Of a fictional character.

Of course in true chick lit fashion, all comes well in the end in a nice emerald box ;) (You'll understand that reference once you read the books.)
Now hop to it!

Jane Casey: Maeve Kerrigan Series

Hey guys, I hope you're all well. I've just finished my Journalism course, (exam wise anyway) I'm just waiting on results. Ahhhhh.. As a wee treat to myself and much to Scott's dismay I bought myself the rest of Jane Casey's Maeve Kerrigan books, including the newest one. Thought I might as well as I loved The Kill which is the 5th book in the series, if memory serves me right and I got so invested in the characters I just had to know more about them. Beginning with The Burning which is roughly about a nasty serial killer targeting young women. His trademark is the fact he then burns his victims making identifying them and him more difficult. The 'first' one we come across as a live crime scene is one that they are not sure if this victim was murdered by the Burning Man. This leads Maeve down a different route trying to discover if this victim is one of the serial killers victims OR if its an entirely different case entirely. In this book we see the bir...

Katerina Diamond: The Teacher

Hey everyone, I hope you all are well. Yeah I suck at regular posts but I'm getting there. Recently it's hard to find the time to read, awk well. I'll get there! Very happy with this book haul. Thank you Amazon! I've even another batch ordered and hopefully will be delivered this week! Can't wait. It really is the simple things in life. I usually pick books either on reviews or from the suggestion section on Amazon. And this is what I've based my last couple of book buys on.  Can honestly say this book was a lot darker than I was expecting. I thought from the description that it was about a suicide and the events that lead up to it. However, that's really not what the book it about. It's told from about three perspectives, Abbey, Parker and DS Adrian Miles.  Abbeys' story is told through flashbacks to her past and her work life, Parker is a new intern at the museum where Abbey works and DS Miles is one of the detectives on the case of the...

Catherine King: Her mother's secret

Hey guys, another post so soon? I know I'm spoiling you ;) Finally got my mojo back and it's nice to be writing again. This book was given to me by my mommabear. It's more her type of book, I'm funny when I see certain covers, no idea why just am. I think it's probably because I know they're my mums type of book if that makes any sense? This book is actually really good. It's got love, scandal, social hierarchy and for a while we're concerned the past is doomed to repeat itself. The story begins with a scene from the past, Ruth Hargreaves is a beautiful, young woman ready for her first party with the upper class. The master of the house takes a fancy to her and forces himself upon her. This however, is not the worst betrayal of Ruth's trust. Her father, Seth makes a deal with Lord Laughton in which he forced Ruth to be his mistress in exchange for a higher position within the Laughton household. There is more to it here, but I'll let you fi...
