Bad Bloods November Rain Review

Bad Bloods November Rain by Shannon A. Thompson

Seventeen-year-old Serena isn’t human. She is a bad blood, and in the city of Vendona, bad bloods are executed. 

In the last moments, before she faces imminent death, a prison guard aids her escape and sparks a revolt. Back on the streets determined to destroy her kind, Serena is spared by a fellow bad blood named Daniel. His past tragedies are as equally mysterious as her connection to them.

Unbeknownst to the two, this connection is the key to winning the election for bad bloods’ rights to be seen as human again. But Serena is the only one who can secure Vendona’s vote. 

Now, Daniel must unite with her before all hope is lost and bad bloods are eradicated, even if it means exposing secrets worse than death itself. United or not, a city will fight, rain will fall, and all will be threatened by star-crossed love and political corruption.

First Thoughts

I was surprised I even picked this book to read, it's not the kind I would usually read. This book starts off very slow, and at some points is all over the place, so you have to do some thinking as you read. But if you look past that, or can get over that, it's a really good read that leaves you wanting more (because it leaves you on a cliffhanger) So here is my honest review of this book.

Review

Yes, this book is slow, but the plot is so good and the characters are well developed. Once you get to the middle, you get a bit more of the action, and you're yelling at the characters, to tell them what to do. When you get there you're easily hooked, and you have the yearning to find out what happens next.

Just as you get into the book, it ends, ON A CLIFFHANGER. That bugged me, but now that I look at it, it was kind of a good idea, because now you want/have to read the next book to find out what happens next. The other downside to the cliffhanger is that it stops right in the middle of the climax.

There also aren't very many swoon-worthy moments in this book, but there are supposed to be some in the next book. 

Overall this book has the action and suspense that gets us all rilled up, and makes us keep reading, and will make a great next book to read.

My Bad Boy Neighbor Review

My Bad Boy Neighbor by Desirae Clark.

A girl, a boy, and a bet.

Good girl Astrid Ella Bailey, the Oreo-loving school nerd of Evergreen High, has anxiety issues. Like any other nerd, she preferred to bury her nose in her books all day and avoid attention like the plague. She never got into trouble, save for that one time a kid ruined a photo of her best friend… a very dear friend she just lost in a tragic accident.

Bad boy Kai Asher, her high school’s head playboy, is trouble incarnate. Intense, rough, and sexy, he’s the one who makes all the girls swoon. One flirtatious wink and their heart’s bend like clay dough. Oh, the shame when they all break like fragile china.

A bet is made, tempers flare up, and punches are thrown. 

And when the good girl crashes into the bad boy — quite literally, screeching tires and smoking hoods included — the school went wild with intrigue. Astrid was thrown into the spotlight, and extra attention is never good for an almost antisocial nerd.

What was the bet? And why did Kai suddenly appear — in all his half-naked glory — at Astrid’s next door window one day? Can she resist his insane sexual innuendos, or will she lose her sanity? Or what’s left of it, anyway. 

First Thoughts

I was looking through kindle unlimited books when this one caught my eye. It sounded intriguing, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a waste of time, and the book annoyed me soo much, and you're about to find out why. Here is my honest review of this book.

Review

The good thing about this book is that the writing style isn't one of the things that bothered me. The plot was also good, but other than that I don't know what else was good.

The characters in this book were a little underdeveloped, sometimes you didn't understand why they did the things they did. 

SPOILER ALERT: The bet was obviously about her, how did she not figure it out sooner, how did her friend not figure it out sooner, and seriously she runs away from her problems?? Why? Without even talking to her boyfriend and asking if he was in on it, she just ups and runs away. 

There was also a lot of sexist comments and really cliche stuff, that alone made me want to stop reading and forget about it, but for some reason, I continued. I should've stopped. 

I wanted so bad to like this book because it sounded do good, but it just wasn't. It was so predictable and had a terrible ending, if you were planning on reading this, please don't. 

Rating
