Review: Throwaway by Heather Huffman

Throwaway by Heather Huffman Blurb When society deemed Jessie a throwaway, she didn’t let it stop her from finding the sunshine in her world. But that world is threatened when she finds herself undeniably drawn to the mischievous glint in the eyes of a man unlike any she’s ever met before. What starts as a simple crush will lead them both on a journey they could never have anticipated. 5 out of 5 stars Really enjoyed this! I greatly enjoyed this book which had just the right level of suspense where you really didn't know what was going to happen next, balanced with a few incidents that were easy to predict but that gave the reader a satisfying feeling of “rightness”. There were a few tiny typos so perhaps the author could afford to give it a quick re-proofread, but nothing that drew the reader away from the excellent story!

Review: Pulse and Prejudice by Colette Saucier

5 out of 5 stars Very well-written! For anyone who might be thinking, "Pride and Prejudice with vampires?? WTF??" Can I just say, I was blown away with how good this is. I was prepared for it to be awful and was dreading the thought of wading through a mangled adaptation of my beloved Austen. BUT it is really really good. Colette tells it mainly from Darcy's tortured POV and so many things make so much more sense when it's revealed some of the characters are vampires, it makes you think "Oh, so THAT's why such and such a person did that!" We get a lot of back story and Colette ties everything together so well. I was truly impressed, and it takes a lot to impress me. If you like P&P, you'll like this!

Review by: Words'n'Music :

For the most part, this book was excellently and humorously written. I laughed out loud throughout, provoking odd looks from my husband and daughters who kept asking what I was laughing at.

I give it 4 stars out of 5 as there is a chunk in the middle taken up with detailed descriptions of the author's sons' achievements in their school basketball and baseball games. As an almost 40-year-old English lady, I have little idea about and less interest in the aforementioned sports so I found that section rather dull - sorry!

But once through that there are still some gems and a heart-stopping moment on the other side so it is well worth reading. And if you like basketball and baseball, so much the better!
