About Me:

I am a wife, mom of 3 teenagers, and I love to read. I do not limit myself to one genre, but do have some that I prefer. Depending on my mood I will choose a book from RomCom, Romance, Dark Romance, Suspense/Thriller, YA, NA, and SciFi/Fantasy. I would love to share the books I read with you so that you may enjoy them too!

It takes so much courage for an author to put their work out there for the public to read. Then to subject themselves to the opinions of those readers. You will not find disrespectful reviews on this page. Even if a book is not for me, it may be something someone else enjoys. I will not belittle or be nasty to any author, regardless of subject matter. No bashing of person or writing will be tolerated.

My goal by creating this blog is to help authors get their books noticed and to help introduce readers to authors they may not usually read.

Also, please note that any links contained on this website I DO NOT profit from. I do receive advanced reader copies of some of the books I review, but I promise to never let that sway my true feelings on the piece of work.

I am willing to help out as many authors/PAs/promotion companies as I can, but please know that my calendar doesn't always allow for a certain time frame. Please feel free to contact me and I can see if I am able to help. This is a one woman show ;) You can visit my Facebook Page (Like/Follow) at https://www.facebook.com/Reading-Escape-Reviews-279044492594921/ and my email is readingescapereviews@gmail.com

Thank you for stopping by! Oh, and be sure to get on the 2017 Goodreads Reading Challenge. I will be asking periodically for your actual and goal number!

Pretty Lost Dolls by Ker Dukey & K Webster

(Free on KU as of 5/15/16)

Blurb:


18 only. To enjoy this title you should have first read Pretty Stolen Dolls.

Benny had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick.
Just like him, his dolly needed darkness as a fix, fix, fix.
So they tormented and hunted and played tricks, tricks, tricks.
Together their sins a lethal mix, mix, mix.

Until Benny missed his dolly who was lost, lost, lost. 
He needed to find her and love her at any cost, cost, cost. 
Not wanting him and his dolly to be alone, lone, lone.
He made plans to bring his dirty dolly, home, home, home.

Have you ever touched another’s soul with the essence of your own, breathed them in so they become apart of you? 
I have.
Finally starting to live, feel and fall in love, amongst all the chaos surrounding me.
Dropping my guard and letting another into my heart.
I left my soul open. 
I left my heart open. 
I left the door open.
And he stole me. 
Dillon…I’m sorry.

My Review:

Pretty Lost Dolls is book 2 in the Pretty Little Dolls Series.  It is co-written by Ker Dukey and K Webster.  Their work is incredible individually, but put them together in one book and you get the most disturbing and twisted book yet.  

Pretty Lost Dolls had twists and turns everywhere.  Just when you thought you could see where they were taking this story, you find out you're wrong, dead wrong.  I want to hate Benny, I really do.  Lets face it though, it was his childhood that makes him the way he is.  Or, at least that's my justification for feeling bad for him.  You definitely want to be cautious reading this if you have any triggers, because this is dark.  If you've read Pretty Stolen Dolls, Pretty Lost Dolls makes it look like sunshine and rainbows.  

I prefer to read books in the first person POV.  Dukey and Webster took this to another level by writing from Jade's POV and Benny's POV.  We finally get a glimpse into the crazy that is Benny's brain.  

Obviously I gave Pretty Lost Dolls 5 stars.  It's amazing, its unimaginable, and it's a whole boatload of crazy.  What's not to love?
