Top 10 Week! My Favorite Quotes of 2018

I love sharing my favorite quotes, because it's through other reviewers' favorite quotes that I've been hooked in and found some awesome books. So, I hope favorites help spread the book love too! This is a list of my favorite quotes from books I read in 2018 in no particular order. 

“You’re sorry?!” I lowered my voice to a grumble. “She’s sorry. I just got burned at the stake. AGAIN. But, she’s sorry. So, no big deal.”

“Actually, last time you were hung,” Gage mumbled. Sometimes I wanted to whap him with a shoe. This was one of those times.

“The point here is more about the dying, Gage, but thanks for your commitment to details.”

~REN: Reposed (REN #2) by Brittany Quagan

I highly recommend this series! 5 stars! Here are my reviews...

REN: Awakened

Ren: Reposed by Brittany Quagan

“Phoebe, the fact that I asked you to be a chaperone should have made it obvious that I didn’t want a chaperone at all.”

“I have no desire to be one,” Phoebe retorted. “However, the children are asking why you’re taking so long, and I can’t very well explain to them that you’re a libidinous goat.”

“No,” Gabriel replied, “because then you would sound like a parsimonious prig.”

Pandora was perplexed by the quick, fond grins the siblings exchanged after the sharp words. 

~Devil in Spring (The Ravenels #3) by Lisa Kleypas

This series is a favorite guilty pleasure of mine! I can easily disappear into these books. Here are my reviews...

Cold-Hearted Rake

Marrying Winterborne

Devil in Spring

Hello Stranger

"Bravery is a choice, Miss Bridges. It's not inherent or given. It's a choice we make. And real courage is tested not by those who simply make hard choices but by those who stand by them. Even in the face of fear and recrimination." 

~Tia Saunders The Truth About Us

This is an excellent story with a main character we can all relate to. My review of this book...

Something of Substance

"When he spoke to her using his holier-than-thou my-father-is-Speaker-for-the-Directorate tone, she remembered why she had once shot a fireball at his head."

          ~ Burning Bright by Chris Cannon

“Your daughter lacks manners,” Adden said.

“Hurt her and you’ll be lacking your balls,” Bryn’s mom growled through the phone. 

Adden blinked. “I see where she gets it from.

          ~ Burning Bright by Chris Cannon

“You’ve caused yet another mess—” Ferrin started. 

“Keep yelling at me, and I’ll name your grandchildren after my parents,” Bryn shot back. 

          ~ Burning Bright by Chris Cannon

Bryn sighed . “Promise me you won’t run off and do something dangerous…without me.”

“A normal female would have ended that sentence two words earlier.”

          ~ Burning Bright by Chris Cannon

I am so completely addicted to each and every book in this series. There's no way I could post just one quote. Not possible.

Here are my reviews from this series...

Going Down in Flames

Bridges Burned

Trial by Fire

Fanning the Flames

Burning Bright

“You make me wish I were alive so that I could feel my heart beating in response to just seeing you."

~ Hotline to Hell by Emily Cyr

I've loved everything I've read from this author so far. This one is no exception. I can't wait for more of her books. Check out my review of...

Hotline to Hell

“Sorry, but this guy is literally choosing to advertise Lord of the Rings on his body. I don’t think there’s going to be a whole lot of common ground.” 

~ The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli

My review of...

The Upside of Unrequited

I feel responsible. I am responsible. Oh no. This is my fault. I’ve turned my sister into an online ho!” 

~ Seized by Love at Seaside (The Ryders #1)
by Addison Cole

My review of...

Seized by Love at Seaside

Me: And still, you avoid the question. Do you think she’s pretty? 

When I look up, he’s staring at her once more. His hand is fisted and the muscles in his neck flex. Finally, he turns his attention to his phone to reply. 

Torin: Pretty is one word and she is many. Beautiful. Alluring. Appealing. Charming. Cute. Dazzling. Delicate. Delightful. Elegant. Exquisite. Fascinating. Fine. Gorgeous. Graceful. Lovely. Magnificent. Marvelous. Pleasing. Splendid. Stunning. Wonderful. Superb. Angelic. Bewitching. Classy. Divine. Excellent. Enticing. Foxy. Fair. Pulchritudinous. Radiant. Ravishing. Resplendent. Shapely. Beautiful. 

I laugh and Casey shoots me a shy smile before turning back to the movie. 

Me: You said beautiful twice. 

Torin: It needed to be said twice.

This book was one of a kind. You must truly understand and savor its characters to fully appreciate them.

~ My Torin by K Webster

My Review of...
My Torin

I used to hear about plane crashes and wondered how the victims felt in the seconds before impact, wondered what it was like to know you were about to die.

Now I know. And I’d give anything not to.

            I knew those people from school. Every. Single. One.

They aren’t faceless names. They are people and they are dead.  

~ Feel Me Fall by James Morris 

All I can say is, This author knew exactly what he was doing.

My review of...

Feel Me Fall

“Every good story needs a villain.

But the best villains are the ones you secretly like.” 

~ Legendary by Stephanie Garber

Expect the unexpected in this trilogy. Check out my review of...

Book Review! Hotline to Hell by Emily Cyr

Hotline to Hell by Emily Cyr
Genre: New Adult (Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy)
Date Published: June 14, 2018
Publisher: Cyr House Publishing

Kayel Cleary is a phone sex operator. All she wants to do is get through law school, and if that means late-night phone calls with men who think she’s something she’s not, then so be it.

That is, until one of her long-time clients is murdered – and she hears it all.

Lathan only wants one thing: a seat on the vampire council. He’s worked his entire unnatural life for this moment, only to have it fall apart when his biggest supporter ends up dead. Now, Lathan has to find and work with the only witness. And she happens to be a phone sex operator.

Thrust into a world she never knew existed, Kayel must help Lathan find the murderer and stop the impending war, all while fighting her attraction for the undead man she loves to hate. If she can’t learn their ways and figure out who killed Marco, then she may lose more than just her life … She may spark a war that would spell disaster for vampires and humans alike. 

Hotline to Hell by Emily Cyr was much more enjoyable than I was expecting, and that's saying something, because I've loved all the books I've read by this author so far. Kayel is a super main character who keeps you rooting for he through the whole book. I enjoyed learning about this whole other world right along with her. Lathan grows on you quite quickly too. He's an intense dude... in everything he does... and I do mean everything! 

I'm not sure if this is within the same world as Vampire Favors, but it could easily fit right in with the world created within those books and is just as intriguing. I hope this will become a series, because I feel like these characters and the supporting characters have more stories to tell. 

The ARC of Hotline to Hell by Emily Cyr was kindly provided to me by Lady Amber's PR for review. The opinions are my own.

Check out my review of another book by this author!

Emily Cyr is a stay-at-home mom turned writer. She holds a degree in middle grades education with certification in English and social science. She has always had a love of all things paranormal and fantasy, but it wasn’t until Emily’s husband said the words, “Why not?” that she considered putting her thoughts and ideas into the book, The Lightning Prophecy. This trilogy was just the start for Emily. It seemed to open a creative door that had been locked.
Emily has always been an avid reader. Through reading came her love of writing. The more she read, the more she knew she wanted to create her own world. Many of her first works were fan fiction.
Emily and her family currently reside in Cibolo, Texas. She has an incredibly supportive husband who is also an officer in the United States Air Force. They have three sons, ages 6, 4, and 1. Somehow, even with the demands of being a parent to two little boys, she finds time to escape to her fantasies and write them down. Currently, Emily has two urban fantasy series out, but stay tuned for a whole lot more!
