Review: Shameless by Nina Lemay

Author: Nina Lemay
Page Count: 227

Have you ever wondered what is it like to be a stripper? Or how would it be if you were dating your super hot teacher? I'm sure most of us thought not the first but probably the second one. Our book starts at the strip club where we get an inside on Hannah's thoughts. I must admit the subjects of strippers, art and photography are hard subjects to talk about because you need uncommon knowledge to write about them. As a person who knows little to nothing about the subjects I felt fulfilled.
The story was told from Hannah's point of view which made Emmanuel seem a little shallow but it went unnoticed pretty much because the other subjects filled the void. Like how it is to be a stripper how the busniess goes, how black and white pictures turn out in the sun and so on. It was definitely an exciting (like forbidden fruit exciting) and fun read. Nothing serious though. There were some reactions from Hannah that I don't relate with because you cannot leave the person you crazily like so easily believe me it is hard. But the dynamic struggles and point of view on the sex was definitely refreshing. It was not a bubble book totally. It was also about how men sees women and how women should feel about themselves. It was also about empowering in it's own story like way.
Overall it was not a cliché. If you are looking for something light but heavy enough to keep you busy it was an interesting read. I read it on the road as I travelled Europe. It didn't left an ongoing impression on me but as I was reading the book it was not one bit boring.

Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:
Zoe Tawn is about to finish her bachelor’s degree and start a PhD program in quantitative psychology. Yet her friends don’t think she’s quite ready to graduate: she still hasn’t played her v-card. Zoe’s friends don’t know her v-card was played years ago; she doesn’t talk about that crap. She does agree that dating would make her a more well-rounded individual, however, so she tries, and realizes the dating game isn’t for her: she’s a geek, not a flirt. Zoe decides to utilize her strengths with the mantra “Smart is the new sexy” and develops a predictive model for companionship to replace those outdated compatibility questionnaires. Her model goes viral in no time, so her friends secretly enter her profile into it. When a match comes back, it shocks them all: it’s Wesley Williams, the twentysomething CEO billionaire of Quantitative Solutions, where Zoe is doing an internship. Zoe insists the error in her model must be unacceptably high until she gets an email requesting she stop by Mr. Williams’ office at her earliest convenience…

AUTHOR BIO
Missy Marciassa loved getting lost in novels from the time she could read, so it’s no surprise she wanted to write. Her very first “novels” were re-writing the books she read to get the endings she wanted in second grade. Missy continued to read and write through grade school and high school.

After becoming rather disillusioned with fiction after writing literary criticism as an English major in college, however, Missy focused on her enjoyment of learning about people and studied psychology. Reading fiction fell to the wayside with all the reading and writing required for college and graduate school, but once Missy became a doctoral candidate, she rediscovered her love of fiction. Then she started getting the urge to write, an urge that wouldn’t go away (she refuses to diagnose it as a compulsion). Covert Assignment is the end result of that urge.

Review: Hidden by Meg Jensen

Hidden

Author: Magg Jensen
Series: Dragonlands #1


I cannot explain how happy I am to have been recieved this book. It was beyond my expactation. I read lots and lots of diffrent fantasy books and after a while it gets a bit dull. Nothing seems interesting or impressing but this book was awesome in one word. I was travelling when I started this book and it was over in a day.
Our story begins at Hutton's Bridge where there's mist around the town that no one can leave or enter and the last living person that was alive when the mist wasn't there is on the dead bed. Aferwards we witness the happenings on the town and the adventures of Tressa who enters the mist.
Tressa is such a strong woman even though she was raised in a little community, it is a total pleasure to journey with her. . I don't approve all of her choices but I can understand her.  Each chapter leaves you wanting more.
There was no cliffhangers which is a relief because I hate them. But there were thing that left unsaid or half. To make way to a second book probably. Not that I am complaining. The characters were deep and interesting but I believe physically there could have been more descriptions and a little bit more world building would be appriciated.
Overall this was an awesomne book every fantasy lover should read.

Rating: 5/5
