Now and again, I get an urge for a book that gives me Twilight feels.

I fell in love with Twilight before it became the "must-read" book in the late 2000s. The love I had for Twilight will never be replicated because it's what gave me my passion for reading, but now and again, I'll find a book that has the same themes and atmosphere Twilight had, and it takes me back. 

    This book gives me if Bella would have fallen in love with Sam feels. In The Pack, the wolves are the kids that seem untouchable. Everyone in town knows there's something strange about this group of people, but no one seems to know precisely what makes them different. The kids at school call them "The Pack" because they seem so loyal to their clique that they don't have much to do with anyone else. The group is so exclusive that no one seems to be able to break the third wall between the pack and the rest of the world. That is until the new girl Jess shows up, and not only does she attract the pack’s attention, but she also seems to be getting much-unwanted attention from the Highschool's Football Coach. 

    This book contains a younger female and older male romance, so I advise skipping this one if that's not your thing. 

    




    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was quick, entertaining, and just the right amount of spice for my taste. The Pack is an excellent pallet cleanser or a fast read to get you out of a reading slump. I think this would be a great read if you miss those Twilight days. 

    If you are wanting to dip your toes into the spicier genre but you're reluctant, I think this is a great place to start. The Pack isn't a fade-to-black romance book, but it isn't so descriptive that you're afraid to read it in public. It's just the right balance of angst and romance for beginners. 

    My favorite character in this book was Jess's dad. I love when we have a parent figure that is present. While he may not be the most active dad, his busyness is understandable and feels relatable to the craziness of starting your life over as a single parent. He fiercely loves his daughter, and while he gives her the space to grow and learn who she is as a young adult, he still tries to gently guide her. We, as the reader, get to see conversations between him and his daughter where he is actively listening to her, and I find that very refreshing. 

    This quick read is available in Kindle Unlimited and I recommend giving it a try. I've had really good luck with Kindle Unlimited lately, and I'm excited to continue finding new authors on there to support. I would love to know the latest hidden gem you've found on Kindle Unlimited. Let me know in the comments below!

Back to School: Percy Jackson Style

As any fangirl or fanboy wherever you go you want to show your love of books. Being lovers of books we are a unique kind. We crush over fictional characters, they become our best friends, when they hurt we hurt. Books are our escape, our passion, our fun, hobby, friend, books are our lives. Pride comes with being a book nerd and it's something you should embrace. These books we love sometimes take over. We love them so much we want to be a part of that world. I wanted to help find ways for you to always feel close to your favorite books and characters. This week I wanted to do Percy Jackson because I mean who doesn't like Percy Jackson?! These outfits are loosely inspired by some of the loved characters from The Percy Jackson series or the book covers. I stayed on pinterest for hours (shocker right?) to find outfits that have simple pieces that you can find in your closet or wouldn't be hard to find for a good price at stores. I also wanted to find outfits that could easil

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by   The Broke and the Bookish This week:  Top Ten Book Boyfriends/Girlfriends (Which characters do you have crushes on?) Tower of Dawn It's been a long time coming, but I finally gave in to Chaol. He's complex, confusing, dark, and endearing.  Lola and the Boy Next Door Cricket is my sweet boyfriend. He loves Lola for exactly who she is. He never asks her to change, and falls in love with every part of her.  The Raven Boys I refuse to pick. I want them all!  White Hot Kiss I like both men in this book, but if I had to pick, it would be Roth. I just love his attitude. I haven't read the last book.

Characters I Never Trust

There are certain characters I never trust. If there is a murder, someone out to destroy the main character, and/or mysterious things are happening, it is almost always one of these characters behind it. The overly helpful adult or superior. This could be a teacher or leader that is always there to save you at the last minute. The superior who has all the answer that you need to solve the mystery.  Family member from the love interests side. It may be a mother who thinks the girl isn't good enough for her son or the power hungry father. Shy background/secondary character. The character who is awkward and maybe the friend that is in the circle because of a family link or the circle just feels sorry for them. The shy character who gets looked over and holds a grudge. You gotta watch the quite ones! Characters that come out of no where . The characters who coincidently show up  right before all cray breaks lose. It could be a long time friend that just so happens to be visitin
