Kathmandu (Leo Keane International Thriller Book 1)

I was sent a copy of this book from the author, Luke Richardson in exchange for my honest review.

45449087. sy475

Leo is an anxiety ridden man, recently unemployed and hung up on his ex Mya.  Mya disappeared over 2 years ago.  At his lowest point, Leo is approached by a millionaire who offers him money to go to Kathmandu and find his elusive daughter.  Thinking this could be a way to find Mya again, Leo jumps at the chance.

Allissa is desperately trying to run from her family and the secrets she is forced to carry.  The last thing she wants is to be found.

Leo and Allissa soon meet and realize they just might have to rely on each other to escape the city that is not as peaceful as it appears.

This book was very fast-paced.  As I read it, I felt like the pages were coming to life.  The descriptions were so well done that this read like a movie.  The plot was great.  Character development was definitely there.  I was interested in not only Leo and Allissa, but the secondary book characters as well.  The only thing that irked me about the book was Leo's devotion to his disappearing girlfriend.  Dude, she left you 2 years ago.  If she wanted to be found, she would have made herself known.  Build that bridge and get over it.  (Besides she sounded like a total drag and he could do so much better)

I read this in a matter of days, and I was not disappointed.  It seems like it took me forever to get to this book because my TBR is out of control.  Now I'm kicking myself for having waited so long.  Don't sleep on this book-it's definitely worth the read.  Hong Kong-the second book in the Leo Keane timeline is out now.  If you have Kindle Unlimited you can read it for free.

Thank you for letting me escape into Leo's world, Luke.  You have a great book on your hands.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill.  She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet.  I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living i

First Post-Here We Go!

This is still a little insane to me.  Last week I wasn't even thinking a Bookstagram would be possible for me, let alone a blog!  What if I'm not interesting?  What if my reviews are terrible?  What if I actually have BAD taste in books? I guess we're going to find out.  Follow me.  Be patient with me.  Grow with me.  Let's explore as many amazing stories, wonderful authors, and unforgettable books as we can! 💙

Less is more? An honest take on Less, by Andrew Sean Greer.

I finished this book and immediately thought, "I wish this wasn't going to be my first book review."  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?  Let's see if that's true. The plot is interesting enough.  Arthur Less is a failure.  He's a failed novelist.  He's also a failed lover, proven by the wedding invitation from his ex that shows up in his mail.  The love of his life has found someone else to love.  What does he do, as a functioning adult?  He accepts invitations to participate in literary events around the world in an attempt to avoid the nuptials.  Less travels to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, and Japan in an effort to avoid his grief.  This is a love story, a satirical look at Americans abroad, and an honest, if not painful look at relationships and how they progress over time. Sounds entertaining enough, right?  This book was 260 pages and I felt every single one of them.  I trudged through this book with all the grac
