Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge...

When reclusive novelist Senna Richards wakes up on her thirty-third birthday, everything has changed. Caged behind an electrical fence, locked in a house in the middle of the snow, Senna is left to decode the clues to find out why she was taken. If she wants her freedom, she has to take a close look at her past. But, her past has a heartbeat... and her kidnapper is nowhere to be found. With her survival hanging by a thread, Senna soon realizes this is a game. A dangerous one. Only the truth can set her free.
When I was reading this book, I felt like I was holding my breath. I was suffocating in a need and then I was part of the story. I was so involved in Tarryn's words that I was affected wholly around every corner and every surprise. This book will stay with me and haunt me and possibly take over my brain at some point. There aren't words to describe the tight feeling in my chest when I look at the cover or the chills that consume my body when I think about the plot.
"You are a stillness. And I tried to move you. It didn't work. But that doesn't mean you didn't move me. " 
This book is a secret. A dark and twisted secret built and built and built on pain and self reflection. It's a book that you as a reader will try to figure out and wrap your head around but until you finish the story and put it down you will be so absorbed and lost that coherent thoughts may not be possible. It's beautiful and it's broken, and I loved it.

Of all the books I've read, this book has by far the most highlighted passages.
"Every minute you spent getting to know me, I got to know me."
Not only is Mud Vein dark it is also a beautifully imperfect love story, a story about the tie that two people have and the pain it causes and the suffering it endures. Soul mates. The story is not words on a page it is a movie playing in my brain, Tarryn's words are exhausting. They're perfect and digestible, they're memorable and painful. She's the best and if you disagree, we can't be friends.

I spent this review talking about my feelings for the book as a sort of therapy, I can't get over this book. I did not dissect the story because I want you to be just as lost and miserable as I was. Go on.

I recommend this book to fans of: Karina Halle, Tarryn Fisher (duh), C.J. Roberts, Kathryn Perez, and J.A. Redmerski.

Review: Die For You by Amy Fellner Dominy

Review: Ah, teenage love. The intensity, the newness, the obsessive way it takes over your life. This powerful and chilling tale of love gone wrong will haunt you for weeks to come after you close the cover. What starts as a sweet romance slowly, horrifyingly turns bad when Emma and Dillon collide. Watching Dillon slowly become darker and more obsessive, more abusive is horrifying, but Amy Fellner Dominy does a beautiful job of show how organic and natural something that seems so right can twist into something so, so wrong. DIE FOR YOU is that book you want teens to read. You want them to see how easy it is to be blinded by the stars in your eyes. 1 in 11 students report being physically harmed by their date ( KidsHealth.org ). This isn't a problem that's going away, but it is one that needs to be discussed more. This was my first book by Amy Fellner Dominy and it won't be my last. I love the way she tells a story, letting the characters carry the bulk of the book and keepi...
