Justyce McAllister is top of his class and set for the Ivy League—but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. And despite leaving his rough neighborhood behind, he can’t escape the scorn of his former peers or the ridicule of his new classmates.

Justyce looks to the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for answers. But do they hold up anymore? He starts a journal to Dr. King to find out.

Then comes the day Justyce goes driving with his best friend, Manny, windows rolled down, music turned up—way up, sparking the fury of a white off-duty cop beside them. Words fly. Shots are fired. Justyce and Manny are caught in the crosshairs. In the media fallout, it’s Justyce who is under attack. 

RELEASE BLITZ AND REVIEW : Gideon's Riders Book #1: Ashwin by Kit Rocha

 

Release Date: March 7th, 2017

Lieutenant Ashwin Malhotra is a Makhai soldier—genetically engineered to be cold, ruthless. Unfeeling. His commanding officers consider him the perfect operative, and they’re right. Now, he has a simple mission: to infiltrate Gideon’s Riders, the infamous sect of holy warriors that protects the people of Sector One.

He’s never failed to execute an objective, but there’s one thing he didn’t anticipate—running into Dr. Kora Bellamy, the only woman to ever break through his icy exterior.

When Kora fled her life as a military doctor for the Makhai Project, all she wanted was peace—a quiet life where she could heal the sick and injured. The royal Rios family welcomed her like a sister, but she could never forget Ashwin. His sudden reappearance is a second chance—if she can manage to touch his heart.

When the simmering tension between them finally ignites, Kora doesn’t realize she’s playing with fire. Because she’s not just falling in love with a man who may not be able to love her back. Ashwin has too many secrets—and one of them could destroy her.

Excerpt and REVIEW belooowww!

REVIEW: End of Day (Jack & Jill 1) by Jewel E. Ann

RELEASE DATE : August 17, 2015

“I felt like a leaf falling from a tree and he was the wind whispering, I’ve got you.”

Jewel E. Ann SLAYS! I am totally in love with her writing.

Okay so to get things started, the Knight twins formerly Day, are trying to find their place in a new environment both mentally and physically. Book 1 is mainly focused on Jessica/Jillian and her battle to overcome her past. I absolutely love how brutal and beautiful she is as a character.

I FELT THIS CHICK.

GO SEE AMERICAN ULTRA!

MOVIE RATING: ALL THE FUCKING STARS

Okay so with today being the official release date of American Ultra I figured it was time for my movie review. I was very lucky to not only see this movie once but twice and actually earlier today. Yes I may be addicted to this movie.

UPDATE: ULTRA STYLE!

Yeah sorry about the lack of reviews lately, real life got in the way. Hopefully I'll be able to get in a review this weekend along with a Block Head and some other stuff.

Till then, peace and love.

OH WAIT!

Check out this fuck awesome trailer for American Ultra! I have been waiting for this since it was announced last year. I absolutely adore Jesse and Kristen and I loved them in Adventureland. Max Landis is a crazy ass genius for the script. Enjoy! Oh and thank you for the use of Hey Mama.

REVIEW: Beyond Innocence (Beyond #6) by Kit Rocha

SCHEDULED RELEASE DATE : May 20, 2015

Major thanks to the Kit Rocha crew for the ARC!

This series is my life. Honestly, it is. I make countdown clocks just waiting for any new bits to emerge and ruin me in its awesomeness.

This is book 6 in the beyond series, I am TELLING YOU NOW to go read the rest because you may want some character reference and because it’s just fucking greatness and this is a treat for you and me.

Beyond Innocence is the book of Jared and Lili. Just a little background, Jared sells sex to the rich and Lili just stumbled her way into O’Kane territory after making some mighty big waves in the sector wars.

REVIEW : Hate F*@k : The Horus Group Book 3 by Ainsley Booth

RELEASE DATE : April 28, 2015

Hailey:
In the blink of an eye, everything changed, and I can’t pretend I don’t need Cole anymore.
He’s my heart and soul, but he’s not always there when I need him, and I’m scared.
Cole:
Keeping Hailey at arms’ length used to be an annoying challenge. Now it’s a matter of life and death.
I want vengeance. And then I want Hailey to be mine, forever.
The final episode in the love story of an ex-Navy SEAL and the curvy good girl he can't resist!

Major thanks to NetGalley and Victory Editing for the ARC.

I am so sad to see this story wrap up. It was so much fun and so satisfying. I really hope to read more from Ainsley Booth and to get some updates on The HORUS Group. I feel this could be a phenomenal series.

REVIEW : Only Trick by Jewel E. Ann

SCHEDULED RELEASE DATE : April 13, 2015

“Don’t Look Back in Anger”
In one night, I lost five years of my life. Here’s what I know …
I was homeless.
I’m a recovering drug addict.
My inked skin crawls from lustful eyes.
I have a serious aversion to women.
My gay partner is a home wrecker.
I own a gun and I’m a damn good shot.
I’m a makeup artist, but it’s an insult to my talent.
I’ve never wanted to possess anything except my Ducati … until I met Darby.
Now here’s what I know since that day in the ER when she pieced me back together … nothing—but a few random thoughts.
My new “friend” is distracting, clingy, and obsessed with acronyms, emojis, and phrases like “breakfast soul mates.”
I didn’t want to like her, but she crawled under my skin and swallowed me whole. Now we’re best friends and she’s my new addiction. I'd drink her from a shot glass, snort her up my nose, or inject her into my veins if I could. What I won’t do … is ever tell her that.
She doesn’t know me … I don’t know me. When those missing years come back, I think she will hate me … I think I will hate me.
My parents named me Patrick Roth, and this is my story.

Major thanks to NetGalley for this amazing ARC.

These past few months I have been very lucky to get access to some really wonderful reads from some authors that maybe I wouldn’t have checked out on my usual book run. Jewel E Ann (cute) is now on my TBR list. Only Trick has just stolen my soul.
