Make You Beg book review

A book review of the novel: Make You Beg: A Dark Bully Romance written by Shantel Tessier. 

Theme: Alpha Males, High School, School,College, Academy, Wealth, Bully, Cars, Abduction, Violence, Rape, Murder, Torture, Sport, Football, 

I don't know where to start with this book, it states that it is a Bully Romance but it's not. It states that it is not RH (reverse harem) instead it's MFM but it's more reverse harem in some areas. It states that it's told in multiple POV (point of views) which it is but it's done badly. I can't decide if the main hereoine is a strong heroine or a weak heroine. I couldn't wait for this book to be finished but stuck with it anyway just in case it was redeemable but it wasn't.

So, let's start with the main problem: that it's called a Bully Romance. It is not, it goes beyone bullying. It's about serious abuse, abusive relationships, torture, humiliation, abduction, murder and much more. It goes way beyond bully behavior and that is not ok as the bully genre is more totally different to that of abuse. 

Oh but wait, the hero who was an abuser actually saves the day so that makes it ok & she forgives him. Wait, nope, that is not ok, he is still an abuser.

I can't really describe the difference of RH & MFM without giving the certain scenes in this book but trust me, it's not MFM.

Now let's talk about the multiple POV for each chapter. I'm normally ok with that, as it makes a story more 'punchy' and enthralling but not in this case. 

Firstly, there were too many DIFFERENT POV's. It's ok to have 2 or maybe 3 per book but I kinda lost count. It also doesn't help that the writing style is confusing that it takes about 3 pages to figure out who is talking and yep, a couple of flip backs to the first page of that page of the chapter to try to recall who it was supposed to be.

Also, I'm going to throw out just SOME of the names of the characters below and I'll let you tell me how many are female names):::

Ryan, Scout, Law, Henley, Van, Rellik, Dax, Monroe, Grayson, Jamie,   oh and not forgetting the two very similar names: Derek & Datson - somewhat minor characters but their somewhat similar names confused me!

Rating: stars 3 out of 5 but that's only because it was a long book and the writer did really, really try needless to say that I've now deleted this from my Kindle to never be read again.

Are you going to read it, is this type of book your thing (it's totally ok with me if it is!). I just wasn't expecting abuse when I thought I was getting bully.

The Alpha's Oracle by Merry Ravenell

A book review of the novel: 

The Alpha's Oracle by Merry Ravenell

This is book one in the series IronMoon and it's full of tough fighting Alpha males whom you hate at first read but then slowly begin to like as you understand more about them.

The book is based around the Seer/Oracle, Giana and how she was claimed against her will by the brutal alpha Gabel.

He's rough, tough, mean and brutal.

How will she cope? She's removed from her home, marked against her will, humilated and just wants to go back home.

I loved this book. It's a rough & tumble werewolves series, no lovey dovey stuff here!

Five out of Five stars for me!  I'm clicking straight over to buy the second book in the series.

Sparrowood Academy Book One by Angel Lawson

A book review of the novel: Sparrowood Academy (Book 1)  

written by Angel Lawson.

Theme: Strong Heroine, Alpha Males, Academy, Wealth, Bully 

Yes, another academy bully book full of teenagers, hazing, groupies, head girl/head boy vs the newcomers etc etc  bla bla bla.

Yes, it's pretty much on par with every other bully academy book. This one starts out on the streets with some kids suddenly being pressured to have to go to the academy undercover to find the rotten eggs in there otherwise they'll end up in juvie. Huh? Why? The author forgot to tell us what the street kids had done that was illegal enough to have them send to juvie. 

So yeah, with that non-existent threat over their heads of course they decide to go. Oh wait, I forgot to tell you about the missing sister. Oh wait, so did the author. We're just supposed to be concerned about her after she was mentioned for approx two sentences.

So once again, same plot: new people, threats, bad choices. Yawn. Oh, yeah, perhaps we'll like the new guys perhaps not. Oh wait, is this some drama ...oh, it only lasted a couple of sentences so I guess not.

Oh no, the climax to the book is about to happen after such a weak build up, I'm so not interested but then I blinked and it's over and oh, wait, was that it? Ok. 

Disappointing but wait, the author is trying to tease us into another book in the series but that's a big fat nope from me as I'd rather flush my money down the toilet than to sit thru another yawn inducing storyline.

The whole book, to be truly honest, feels like a first draft.  

Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
