I've had my eye on those books and need to pick up a copy of book one because I LOVE me some twisted thrillers like that - plus YA! Sad to see you didn't enjoy black Iris. This makes me nervous because I have it on my Nook and hope to read it soon.

As for New Adult, I think you should check out Unravel by Calia Mead, it's a thriller as well! Mud Vein by Tarryn Fischer was fantastic as well(the premise is not what it seems), both are very unique books in NA ♥ The Addicted series by Krista & Becca Ritchie is sooo good too!Beenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718861012681693010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-80750206883970908532015-06-02T02:42:43.559-04:002015-06-02T02:42:43.559-04:00Thank you for sharing your thoughts Lindy!♥ Tiny ...Thank you for sharing your thoughts Lindy!♥ Tiny Pretty Things and Killer Within were both great books that I enjoyed reading.Beenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718861012681693010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-35206529888388398702015-05-31T22:33:44.663-04:002015-05-31T22:33:44.663-04:00I am so torn over Tiny Pretty things AND Black Iri...I am so torn over Tiny Pretty things AND Black Iris. They both seem quite polarizing- people are either loving them or hating them! And I kind of feel that some of the things that bugged you the most about Black Iris would also bug me so.... I don't know. Maybe someday I will try it, but I am not rushing out. As for Tiny Pretty Things, I just don't know if I can handle all the mean behavior! But I know it DOES happen, so I probably should give it a go. Fabulous reviews, thanks so much for sharing them! <br /><br />Shannon @ <a href="http://itstartsatmidnight.com" rel="nofollow"> It Starts At Midnight </a>Shannon @ It Starts at Midnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043593641190645773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-8343589942783964982015-05-31T08:38:07.284-04:002015-05-31T08:38:07.284-04:00Sorry to hear that Black Iris didn't work for ...Sorry to hear that Black Iris didn't work for you! I'm still not sure whether I should just go for it and read it, or wait a couple of months. Oh and I'm glad you liked Tiny Pretty Things! It was a lot of drama for me, and I kept wondering if these things actually happen in the ballet world (which I'm guessing it does, which makes me beyond sad). And I had no idea it was going to be a series? I thought the ending was good on its own.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450385804261334137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-7166507863531089852015-05-31T07:33:50.707-04:002015-05-31T07:33:50.707-04:00Yeah, I'll probably enjoy Tiny Pretty Things g...Yeah, I'll probably enjoy Tiny Pretty Things going into it open minded. Killer Within, I haven't read Killer Instinct because of some less than flattering reviews (but glad you enjoyed it!) I loved A School for Unusual Girls though, but agree, the first half was slow, I got into more after the first 50 pages, when the banter and everything came into it. Can't wait for the next one though, to get to know the other characters more. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957514015448707063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-29277890328030803662015-05-29T22:20:42.564-04:002015-05-29T22:20:42.564-04:00Tiny Pretty Things, oh that cover! It's really...Tiny Pretty Things, oh that cover! It's really lovely and a perfect example of how covers can be just as effective just using font. I'd buy a copy regardless of what it was about. The positive reviews for Black Iris have been few and far between. I don't understand how an author can weave through diverse characters such as a lesbian relationship, but didn't see a dig at Middle Eastern nationals as offensive. I'll be outraged on your behalf too. Super insensitive of an author, but even more surprisingly that no other reviewer I've seen has come across that. I guess no one else has picked up on that.<br /><br />Wonderful reviews Benish, I really like the mini reviews <3 Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-54440215140282762162015-05-29T18:24:42.452-04:002015-05-29T18:24:42.452-04:00Good to hear about Pretty Little Things, I have th...Good to hear about Pretty Little Things, I have the audio coming up soon!Nereyda @Nick and Nereydas Infinite Booklisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068688280866239189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-83340855324965618052015-05-29T14:14:40.223-04:002015-05-29T14:14:40.223-04:00Aww, I'm sorry that you ended up not liking Bl...Aww, I'm sorry that you ended up not liking Black Iris. I totally understand it thought - there are just some books that don't click with us. I know I've hated many that others loved (5th Wave... An Ember in the Ashes... okay, I didn't hate that one but I didn't love it and was not a big fan of it). I wish I had noticed the offensive lines, and I'm quite ashamed I didn't. Really glad you were still able to find books that you ended up loving, though!<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-977650151303614932015-05-29T00:19:30.998-04:002015-05-29T00:19:30.998-04:00Oooo glad most of these were good reads for you.

That always had too much adult stuff in it for me so I'm curious about this one.<br /><br />I like the revenge thing, but to like the book I really need a sense of why she wants revenge and it sounds like that was held back for too long.<br /><br />Nice mini reviews.Molly Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09321341454204254615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-37881330210527044902015-05-28T06:55:33.539-04:002015-05-28T06:55:33.539-04:00I've heard Tiny Little Things is INCREDIBLE.

I JUST WANT TO READ THEM ALL. *hyperventilates* Plus it sounds a little bit like Dangerous Girls, which I <i>adored</i>). Anyway. Hehe.<br />I've kind of vaguely heard of Black Iris, but NA? Not really my thing. I've yet to find one with a good plot. :(<br /><br />Love your mini reviews, as always!!

I've always loved Ballet, and stories about dancers. I think the bully storyline is very relevant, and I would love to read this story. Killer Within has caught my attention. A girl that hunts down serial killers and the whole copycat aspect has me very curious. I read Black Iris and loved it, but knew right away that this story wasn't for everyone. I don't like insta-love, and slow paced stories are difficult for me to get in to, so I don't think I'd enjoy, A School for Unusual Girls.<br /><br /><br />Lindy@ A Bookish EscapeLindy Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037195934272974300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-11012166039455603072015-05-27T23:00:23.298-04:002015-05-27T23:00:23.298-04:00Thank you for sharing your thoughts Jeann & I&...Thank you for sharing your thoughts Jeann & I'm glad you could enjoy the mini reviews as well! ♥ It's more fun seeing a group of books together than individual reviews. Tiny Pretty Things was an amazing read, everyone seems to enjoy Black Iris except for me. A school for Unusual Girls has a similiar concept to the Winner's curse with the marriage and rebellion. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on Black Iris though!
