Gaming Hype!

Hey!

I have been trying to get more into gaming over the last few months and have found myself trying to get into different games that I haven't really given a go plus playing some old favourites too

A shock game that I find myself enjoying was Terraria, I have talked about this game before and to be honest after watching some twitch and finding out about it I wasn't so sure if it would be my kind of game I mean I have had a few experiences with Minecraft and didn't really like it so was worried that this might be too similar. BUT I gave it a go and did a play through on Twitch with my BF (You can check out his channel if you like Nobodys_me, shameless promo sorry haha) And I really did enjoy it, we did it sort of slowly and went through all of the boss fights, I even beat the last boss without cheesing him! And got some cool as looking accessories not going to lie, I loved that aspect getting such cool items and even cooler how the devs put there mark on it by each making there own accessories.

I would give this game a 4 stars, just because its a good game but can get boring at times and it definitely best if you play with someone. There is a lot to discover which is what makes games fun but with this there can be a lot of trying and its a lot harder than it looks!

The other game that I have gotten back into which is an old favourite of mine, and that is Diablo 3. There is a new season so I have started a new character with that, a wizard cause I have always like that but I may get a witch doctor too. I have already done the story and is one of the reasons I always rate this game a 5 star one because I really love the story! But with the new update there is more loot to get and new builds to create to see how fast you can get through the adventure levels such as rifts and bounties! There is even harder levels which is great to watch people try do the bosses and mobs have so much health it can get a little frustrating but I enjoy playing it and watching it too, there are some great people streaming it on twitch.

This will always be a favourite of mine no matter what and I love that they keep bringing out new items and ways to play keeps the game interesting and exciting. Plus I love getting a good group either of friends or just people from around the world to take down a rift guardian!

There are a number of other games that I am wanting to get into having seen a lot of my friends play them and they look really good plus there are some that I just still need to play even though I am kinda scared to!

I would love to try some more shooter games such as CS, Arma, and H1Z1 where they have a lot of shooting skills involved. I know that in H1Z1 you can do a durvival mode where you are not really trying to shoot people just zombies and well surviving but both this and Arma have a Battle Royale that I really want to try since its more like CS where you got to be the last man standing. I think I could do kinda good at it if I practiced and who knows maybe I could record it so you all get a good laugh xD

Other games I want to try would be Guild wars 2, Dark Souls, and Path of Exile. They all have a story base that I have heard is really good, I have played GW2 before but never completed it the way I wanted to as I want to know more of the story. I have heard quite mixed reviews for both Dark Souls and Path of Exile but I think they are definitely worth the try, its good to try something new right? I have heard that Path of Exile is like Diablo which could be a good thing or a bad thing but I am willing to give it a go.

I am missing games like I once played when I was a kid, I have been thinking a lot about them lately and gosh I miss them! I wish I could play Spyro, I miss that little dragon was such a good game and I think I need to find a way of playing it again. Tekkan was also one of my favourite games growing up, granted I did then just click all of the buttons continuously to see if I could win that way, learnt fast that strategy doesn't work too well...

I need to get my gaming on but that dam TBR of mine is getting too big... I will let you guys know how its doing soon

Hope you are all doing well and have a great day
Peace : )

"Bad boy Kaidan Rowe has never wanted for anything—money, popularity, musical talent…hot girls—but seducing them is part of his duty as a Nephilim, slave to the demon Dukes. As the son of the Duke of Lust, Kaidan has learned his father’s ways, becoming a master of passion, a manipulator of chemistry. Disobeying his father would mean certain death. Thankfully for Kaidan, he’s good at his job. And he enjoys it.

Until he meets Anna Whitt—sweet, smart, feisty, and inexplicably good—the one girl seemingly immune to his charms. The daughter of a guardian angel and a fallen one, she has a certain power over him, one that makes him wish for more than he could ever deserve.

Determined to save all the Neph from their dark lives as the influencers of sin, Anna joins forces with Kaidan to overcome the demons’ oppressive ways. In the light of her affections, Kaidan must undergo his toughest test of all, a battle of the heart.

My Thoughts (I will be as less spoilery as I can)

I will say it again I really love the magic system in these books! its so unique to use memories to cast magic and with that different memories have different powers. This follows the events of the 2nd book where we see Nadia and her friends have to not only deal with what Nadia has done but also work out a way to stop all the crazy stuff happening in there once peaceful town.

I liked the way that we got to see more of the town as a lot of the time we were seeing the effects of Elizabeths magic but also seeing it through other peoples eyes, like Verlaine and Mateo even Asa.
I enjoyed the new addetion to the story Asa, he was a nice lighthearted edge to the books and matched Verlaines sarcastic and firey side, he was very like able and you could see how really he was stuck in the middle of the whole mess.

One thing I liked also was becasue of Nadias choices we got to see more into Elizabeths world and see how she lives but also how her mind kind of works and how her feelings for Nadia change were she con munipulate her so well. One thing I was not expecting was the way events unfolded were the town was coming undone and people were starting to realize and begin to wonder what was really going on in there town. It sometimes has such small town syndrome that it gets annoying but this book really opened up the story and you got a much bigger picture.

I LOVED hearing from Verlaine this was something I was super excited about as she slowly has her story merging with Nadias. It was great to see her come into her own and get a lot of the book from her perspective especially when we get blinded by the feelings Nadia and Mateo have for each other you get Verlaines at times blunt explaination which made the book so enjoyable for me. One thing I didn#t like so much was it felt a little insta lovey with her love interest. Don't get me wrong I was happy to see her find someone that saw passed her curse and really see who she was but it just annoyed me at times. I did like how you would see Nadia and Mateo see it at times too.

I did just feel blah about hearing from Elizabeth she wasn't a full character for me she was a bit repeadative in her thoughts and I get that she wanted the one beneath but yeah girl needs a new hobby.

I will say at times I didn't like the way it would switch from character to character and at times the flow was lost for me where I felt like we were just going through the motions of the story and in sections I just wish we had dalve deeper into it. It was a very fast read for me (even though I kept forgetting to update goodreads -_-).

I did feel like at times it was predictable but I was happy with Nadia and Mateos relationship I felt like I did know where it was heading but at times I was like dayum! especially when it comes to Mateo anyone who has read the book will know what I mean!!! I really did enjoy the way the 3 main characters interacted together too there friendships at times was strained but they knew each other and would always come back.

Overall it was enjoyable book as I did like the characters and story, I would have liked more and the ending for me needed just that little bit extra which is why I rate it 4 Stars!

Reviews are coming, series ones get ready!

I hope you are doing well and have a great day!
