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.

You can find out more HERE

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!

I have a lot of things coming!

Jennifer L Armentrout Fantasy TBR!

Hey!

I have a lot of new books added to my TBR of series I really want to start!
I loved some of her other series so I'm really excited to get into these amazing beauties by the lovely Jennifer L Armentrout!

OBSESSION
This is a standalone novel that goes with the Lux series in a way, it follows the other alien type and gives ypu a look into there way of life and everything that we don't see if the Lux series. I am really excited to see whats going to happen as I believe these characters did make an apperance in the Lux series at one point. I loved the idea of the aliens in this series and I haven't read a lot of them so I am excited to see what she can fit in 1 book! It is an adult story though so not really suitable for everyone and it is good as you don't have to have read the Lux series to read this but I highly recommend it as I really think its a great YA series

The offical Goodreads synopsis:

"He’s arrogant, domineering, and... To. Die. For.

Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy.

Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something... unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.

Hunter stirs Serena’s temper and her lust despite their differences. Soon he’s doing the unthinkable—breaking the rules he’s lived by, going against the government to keep Serena safe. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena’s life… or is it Hunter?"

WICKED

This is another new adult kind of book so isn't really for everyone but I really like the idea of it, I mean its fantasy and paranormal 2 of my favourite things. Plus I really need to get into more new adult and adult books so I think this might be a good place to start. I really think the setting is great too as there is always such a mystical vibe in New Orleans its a win win and it seems to have another swoon worthy man in it which also makes a great additive too! Super excited to jump into this too and the main female character seems quite kick butt!

The Official Goodreads synopsis

"Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.

Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.

Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.

But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul"

WHITE HOT KISS

This is a series that I have been wanting to get into for ages but I just have never found the time to start it, as soooooo many people I know have given this great reviews and really enjoyed it. I have only just read my first book where gargoyles are the main race so I am excited to see how Jennifer's writing style can go in this direction! Plus at the moment demons are one of my favourite characters in there own right so excited to see what a hybrid can bring plus she seems really bad ass too, Jennifer L Armentrout is always good at writing kick butt female characters!

The Official Goodreads synopsis

"One kiss could be the last. 

Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. 

Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever. 

Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul. 

But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne… it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world."

THE RETURN

The last of my Jennifer L Armentrout TBR books is the return and its probably the one I am the most excited for, this is a companion to her Covenant series which was one of my favourite series I read last year! It is her own version of Greek Mythology with pure bloods the descendants from gods and half bloods the children from humans and pures, this created for a interesting story and now one of the main characters gets his own story SETH! He is special, powerful and dangerous but he is sworn to serve the gods so stuff is about to get real! I loved him in the covenant series and am so excited that she decided to make a story just for him, he is sassy cocky and it should make for a great story. I love Greek mythology books so I'm excited to jump back into this world plus it has Titans too and I highly recommend the Covenant series, however this one is new adult!

The Official Goodreads synopsis

"The Fates are cackling their bony asses off…

It’s been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they’ve given him have been violent and bloody–which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He’s got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.

Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy’s deal might be, but it’s a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.

But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.

Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.

Book 1 in the new adult paranormal TITAN series, spin-off to the best selling COVENANT series."

I'm super excited to get into these books and I can't wait to see what they have to offer
I hope everyone is doing well and have a great day
Peace : )

My TBR of series

Hey!

So I'm getting really bad at adding books to my I want to read that now books! and that means I keep having to buy the next in the series!

I want to now list the some of the SERIES I have on my TBR

R.K RYALS SERIES

First lets start with the biggest collection which is the Redemption series and its 2 companion series Acropolis and Thorne Trilogy! I have read the first 3 books in the redemption series (Redemption, Ransom, and Retribution) I have also read the first 2 in the Acropolis series (Acropolis and Labyrinth) and started the Thorne Trilogy with Cursed (Then Possession and Dancing with the Devil)

I really love these books cause they are about so much and each develops of each  class, I think that's the best way to put it I mean you put Gargoyles, Demons, Nephalim and witches you are going to have a epic party full of action drama and romance! I will note that the Thorne trilogy is a New adult novel so not for the younger reader and follows witches the most. Acropolis is more about Gargoyles with demon themes which all of them seem to have! Redemption is angels and demons and Nephalim which is always a great combination in my book. I'm a fan of demon books. I like if you like paranormal and some adventure these series are a good one to pick up and I am reading them in publication order so I don't ruin too much which I think is the best idea but I think you can read each by themselves. I will say you need to like a romance type of book for these series as it is a very important part, I mean you can tell from the covers... Sorry girl I love your books not not really the covers

Official Goodreads synopsis of Redemption, the first in Dayton's:

"A fateful car accident, a strange Abbey ruled by an even stranger Abbess, an insane Demon, a world where right and wrong becomes dangerously twisted, and a confident, rebellious teenager . . . .

Dayton Blainey is a foul-mouthed, grief-stricken young woman forced to live with a religiously eccentric aunt who favors her moral older sister. But when Dayton's life becomes intertwined with a dangerous stranger, she suddenly finds herself at the center of a war fought since the beginning of time.
Trapped between what she believes is right, and a forbidden attraction, Dayton must come to terms with betrayal and her surprising lineage to stop a war before it even begins. "

Official Goodreads synopsis of Acropolis, the first in Connor's story:

""We have a new assignment for you, Mr. Reinhardt."

These words are not comforting to me. At eighteen, I am a gargoyle who has been demoted because I broke the rules. Now I have a new mission, a new mark to protect. But I don't expect Emma Chase. I don't expect to question my own race. I don't expect to care for my own mark. And I am not prepared for what I find at The Acropolis"

Official Goodreads synopsis of Cursed, the first in Monroe's story:

"A grimoire. A witch. A Demon.

Ellie Elizabeth Jacobs, often known as Monroe due to her fascination with vintage attire and old movies, is an 18 year-old witch and a darned good one! But there is also something very wrong with her. Demonic energy makes her powers stronger, she has the ability to ward off Demons, and Lucifer wants her. 

Sometimes being bad is better. Or at least that's how Luther "Thorne" Craig feels. The hybrid Demon son of the cursed Cain and the Demon Lilith, Luther is reluctantly sent to New Orleans, Louisiana by his brother, the hybrid Demon ruler of the Outer Levels of Hell, to protect Monroe from Lucifer's searching Hellhounds. 

But what happens when things go wrong?
In this riveting spin off from R.K. Ryals' Redemption series, Monroe is faced with an old grimoire, an ancient curse, and a journey to discover a family secret that may surprise them all."

THE RAVEN BOYS

Another series that I am working on is The Raven boys by Maggie Stiefvater, now this series is so awesome the writing is just so great! I love the way she makes the story at at first I had no clue what was going on but I liked that, I would totally recommend going into these books not knowing exactly what they are about because exploring that is so amazing and eye opening. One of my favourite sections is at the beginning of Dream Thieves, the second book, where it talks about secrets and that light bulb just went off in my head and I was like yes exactly!. The characters are great and funny yet so different from what I normally read it has been a breath of fresh air reading this series and I can't wait to move on to the next book

Official Goodreads synopsis of The Raven Boys, the first in the quartet


"“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore."

I will be doing a new blog on the book series I hope to start and stand alones that are on my TBR soon, so stay tuned for that!

Hope you are doing well and have a great day!

Peace : )
