On What Grounds by Cleo Coyle
4.0
You know, I actually really enjoyed this book and for the first twenty or so pages I wasn't sure I would. It wasn't as cut and dry a mystery as some tend to be and the main characters flaws are present, even going so far as to add the fact that women do fantasize about attractive men. Which was a nice touch and made it more realistic for me.
A downside to this book, however, is that it's slightly disjointed in the beginning which is why I wasn't sure I'd like it. The author would start on one thing and then go off on something else and wrap it back around to what the point actually was.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. Even with the bit of run around and confusing bits in the beginning.

Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine
4.0
This book is one I really enjoyed. The writing style is wonderful with the chapters flowing in a way they should be and very limited on repeating information throughout the book. It also adds insight after each chapter with communications from other people in the book in a device they call a Codex.
This book took you on a ride through what could have happened if things were different. Shows how knowledge really is power and by limiting access to said knowledge people can be, in a way, guided how government or in this case, The Library, wants it to be. It wasn't a book that was easily guessable in terms of what will happen and I would recommend this to others.
The only reason, for me, it's not a full 5 is because I think there could've been a bit more character development on some characters that will obviously be going onto other books. However I do know it's entirely possible the other books in the series will get into that. So I will be picking up the rest soon!

Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
4.0
This book took me by surprise in terms of the type of alien being that Daemon and Dee are. It was slightly predictable in terms of certain parts but I was okay with that just because of the uniqueness of this book and the way the author really did incorporate multiple emotions into them as well as having an easy to follow term of the rules of their people.
