A Little Too Much Cover Reveal

In the follow-up to Lisa Desrochers’ explosive New Adult novel A Little too Far, Alessandro Moretti must face the life he escaped and the girl he loved and left behind.

Twenty-two year old Hilary McIntyre would like nothing more than to forget her past. As a teenager abandoned to the system, she faced some pretty dark times. But now that’s all behind her. Hilary has her life on track, and there’s no way she’ll head back down that road again.

Until Alessandro Moretti—the one person who can make her remember—shows up on her doorstep. He’s even more devastatingly gorgeous than before, and he’s much too close for comfort. Worse, he sees right through the walls she’s built over these last eight years, right into her heart and the secrets she’s guarding.

As Hilary finds herself falling back into love with the man who, as a boy both saved and destroyed her, she must decide. Past or future? Truth or lies? This book comes out Nov 12

There were times I didn't like what choices Annie made , but she had some tough choices , and she didn't really understand the ramifications of the choices she did. There were still some questions left unanswered , but I loved that she stood her ground. Annie and Mo have some tough choices since they are now married.

I also enjoyed learning more about Mo and his family and culture.

Things Going on & Reading

I have been reading for my class and I maybe I am in a reading slump again. I don't know but I can't seem to have books hold my attention. While I do read them and review them. It's a struggle sometimes. I have lots on my kindle to read and also many books in my closet. Yes I am getting to them ..slowly. I will be having some reviews coming up. I am loving my classes and doing okay .

Iolanthe Seabourne is considered the greatest mage of her generation. But she has no idea about this prophecy. Titus is the prince of Elberon and wants to protect her.

She was trying to help out with a wedding , and help her Guardian. Once she calls forth lighting , she meets Titus . She is also being chased by emissaries of Atlantis .

Titus also goes to a school , among his non mage friends. He had a cover already for Iolanthe ..but he wasn't expecting a girl. He has been made aware of the many signs through a book , and his mother. The servants of Bane are chasing after them. Titus will do what ever he can to protect her.

I didn't know what to expect from this book. I wondered since this book was being hyped up, if it would be as good as other high fantasy books out there. Yes this book had magic, and did remind me a bit of Harry Potter . But that's it..this world was different , and I loved that this book made mention of Sleeping Beauty. Iolanthe doesn't want this at all, she would rather hide. She gets to know Titus and they do have a slight attraction , but this book was full of action. I also loved the different Point of Views.

Book Review= B+
