Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books! And Readers Isle- Escaping Reality in Fiction *Disclaimer* I received this book from Goddess Fish Promotions in return for a fair and honest review. Joel and Kate are on a journey of a lifetime. They are aboard a spaceship looking for the planet named Aeprion. During their journey they discovered a large, very large, boulder that had a secret map written on it, but it had to be decoded, per say. They weren’t the only ones looking for this planet, an Alien called Kraxem. He automatically made enemies out of anyone that stood in his way and stopped at nothing to eliminate his enemies. Would he be successful in this? Would Joel and Kate be able to meet their goal? I will be completely honest, I did not think I was going to like this book, but it sounded interesting so I wanted to give it a try. I am SO glad that I read it. It was a short and a fast read, but a fun read. I was afraid it would be hard to understand...

In her free time with her best friend, she designed an elaborate blog with stories of her future life with Miles, the lead singer of Seconds To Juliet.  Once Nick dealt her the crushing blow of the truth of how Miles felt about her, she asked Becky to delete the blog completely and was on her way to forgetting Miles. Becky said she would delete the blog, but did she?

She had a plan, she would just ignore Miles and keep away from the band. Would that plan really work? This book was the ultimate fan girl book. It was fu...

(I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.) She did it again. The third installment of Cristin Harber's new Only series, is just as amazing as the first two! Only For Us gives us just as much deep emotions and blinding surprises! Emma and Gray are deep with complex things eating at their chance of happiness. As I've said with the other two volumes, Emma and Gray are epic. I cannot get enough of this couple! I am hooked and already bouncing in my seat for Only Forever, and Us hasn't even been released yet. It will be a long wait for me, but totally worth it. And I can always read the first one's for the third time. Right? ;) Warnings in this book, basically the same as the other two. Still tons of deep emotions, explicit language and some graphic sex. However, this book features less violence. But, I'm sure we will be getting all of that we can handle in the next issue. The Only Series Volume 1: Only For Him Volume 2: On...

Jaden is a wealthy, spoiled, daughter of a well known gentleman who headed up archaeological digs.
