The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

I went into the story not knowing anything about it and got instantly hooked. It's so dark and moody and so addicting! :)

It's set in a world full of magic. Some have a lot, some a little and some none at all. Six of the most talented people are recruited for a unique position every decade, and only five will make it through the first year.

The Alexandrian society guards the lost knowledge, that is not for all to see. The five who make it through will be the guardians of the knowledge. They will have a life of success, wealth and power.

Libby and Nico can control the world around them. They fit together, even though they want nothing to do with each other, Reina is a naturalist, the nature around her talks to her, but she doesn't like her power that much. Parisa can read everyone's mind and can travel to the unconscious mind to unravel what is hidden behind each and every one. Tristan can see through every illusion and Callum, an empath who can make anyone do whatever they want.

The story is told from multiple POVs as they go through their year, discovering their powers, developing them and discovering more about ht mysterious society that seems to control it all.

It's seriously so good!

happy reading,

i want you to want me: Adam by Mary Ann Marlowe (Most Wanted #1)

It has all the right elements that make up a great rock star romance, but this one fell flat for me. I like the chemistry between them and the setup, so the first third of the book, but the rest... didn't do much for me.  She is a biochemist, working for a company that is developing an experimental perfume. She has a stable-ish life but is not happy. Her brother on the other hand is running after his dream. She is with him one night, as he has a performance, and starts talking to a guy. He doesn't seem like much, but there is something very attractive about him.  They spend the night together. The next morning, when she talks to her girlfriend, she realizes who he is.  I had high hopes for the MCs, but I had trouble connecting with the FMC, she comes across as very judge-y and she looks down on others. Her actions made me dislike her very much.   Adam on the other hand I liked from the start. He seems to be struggling with all the things that come from a life in...

Semantic Error by J. Soori, Art by Angy

The cutest story! Sangwoo lives by the rules he set for himself. He has a schedule and routines he follows religiously. His whole day is in disarray if anything were to mess with those. He is a computer major at a university. At a group project, when none of the team mates managed to contribute to the presentation, he did it himself and cut all of the other names, making them essential fail the class.  One of those teammates was Jaeyoung, a design major who failed to graduate because of that class. It ruined his plans to continue his studies abroad and made him very, very angry.  Sangwoo is working on a video game and needs a designer. His current one no longer has time and has recommended someone else. When they meet up, it's none other than Jaeyoung.  He is very determined to get back at him, and disrupts his routine, just to make him mad. What makes Jaeyoung the most mad, is the fact that Sangwoo fails to remember him, even though they meet many times. They even end up...

Unholy Obsession by Stasia Black

After reading the first page, I was hooked.  I'm a monster, but as so often happens with monsters, I've got everyone snowed into thinking I'm a good man from the outside.  The priest's collar around my neck helps. No one knows about the shattered glass and spilled blood. No one knows about the floggers and leather and the countless women I've put on their knees and ordered to call me Lord- It's a very sexy story, with two deeply flawed characters who somehow make each other better.   Moira is a sex addict and her life is spinning out of control. Bane took 180 from how he grew up and became a priest. His life is about to fall apart. He is still plagued by his father's upbringing and even though he did about everything to not turn out like him, he is plagued by it nonetheless. He is massively torn between what he knows is right and what he desires. And the thing he desires the most is Moira. But that lifestyle he so craves doesn't mesh well, with being a p...
