Best of Kindle Unlimited

 So I actually mainly read on Kindle Unlimited, if it's a series I'm not sure about but there are some gem's on there and I thought I would recommend some now, so here are 5 of my favourite KU series, I could have chosen a lot more but made myself stick to ten, these are only UK, because I'm not sure if they are on KU Anywhere else. let's get started...


1 - Savage Kings - S, Nelson 

This is MC romance book and you will find a lot of these on KU, but personally I enjoy them so I'm not complaining. 


2 - Gentry Boys - Cora Brent 

This is a family romance series and it is short but good. 


3 - Harry Potter - J K Rowling 

I know the drama around this Author but I can't ignore the fact that this is a series that got a generation reading, I am not condoning what she said or her beliefs but I feel that this should be in here. 


4 - Morganville Series 1-3 - Rachel Caine 

I had the paperbacks for this entire series, and they were really good and having the first three is a good introduction and I might now reread them on my kindle. 


5 - Poldark 1-3 - Winston Graham 

Again, this is a really good series I still have the paperbacks for, and the first three books are a good intro into the world.

Historical Fiction Recommendation's

 This is a genre that I kind of always go back to, it doesn't matter what I read I always gravitate towards a historical book in form or another, so here are 10 books or series that I love....


1 - Outlander - Diana Gabaldon

I found this series in 2017, but i didn't start reading it until 2018, I am still chugging through it, it's a long one but it is so enjoyable and it's easy to lose yourself in this series.


2 - War's of the Roses' Series - Con Iggulden 

This is one of the first series that got me into the War's of the Roses era, it's so fascinating and it's also very well written unlike some i could mention.


3 - Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger 

This is a paranormal historical fiction but it is one that I absolutely love, it's set in Victorian London and full of amazingness. 


4 - Game of Thrones - George R.R Martin 

Does this really need explaining. 


5 - Devil's Consort - Anne O'Brien

This is a book about Eleanor of Aquitaine, it's so good, all of her books are but this the first i read from this author and it stuck with me. 

 

6 - Poldark - Winston Graham 

This is a series set in 18th Century Cornwall in England and it is full of intrigue and if you have watched the BBC series then this is a must read. 


7 - The Confession of Catherine Howard - Suzannah Dunn

I was around 14 or 15 when i read this book but it has stuck with me, it tells the story of the Catherine we know the least about, it is very good, and i highly recommend it. 


8 - To Defy a King - Elizabeth Chadwick 

This is another book that i loved, when i first read it, this is about the daughter of William Marshal one of the best Knight's in English history, but it's full of drama and it's just a very well written book. 


9 - Six Queens Series - Alison Weir

Sometimes i feel that the Six queens are overdone, but this series puts a new spin on them that no one else has thought of, and for that it is the most superior of Tudor fiction. 


10 - Diary of Anne Frank - Anne Frank 

I Feel that this is a must read for anyone, it is real and these events actually happened, i personally think that everyone should read this book to understand the history of what was going on.

Romance Recommendations

 So recently I have pretty much only been reading Romance books, so I have a few recommendations that i would like to share, so here are 15 Romance books or series that I personally love...


1 - The Bailey's - Piper Rayne 

This is a family series so each book follows one sibling and it is brilliant, I found it on the off chance and I am so glad I did, this series is complete now so it is a good read to binge. 


2 - The Sullivan's - Bella Andre 

This is another family series, this one is not only siblings but it follows different branches of the family tree, I loved this series and it is still on going, but there are so many books out and they are quick easy reads. 


3 - The Rocker's series - Terri Anne Browning 

This is another long series, it follows a few different rock groups and each one is hotter than the last.


4 - Gentry Boys & Gentry Generations - Cora Brent 

This is a good series, it follows the Gentry family through two generations, these are your reformed bad boys and they are easy to gobble up, I flew through this series it was really addictive. 


5 - Carter Brothers & Next Generation - Lisa Helen Grey 

Same as the previous, reformed bad boys find their happiness and it once more spans across two generations, I get really excited when a new book in this series is released and i think it gets better as it goes on, it definitely needs more hype.


6 - Knights Corruption MC & Next Generation - S. Nelson

I put this series on here because it is different to what I normally read, through lockdown I really got into MC books, they are always full of Alpha males and they are just really easy reads with HEA at the end of every book. 


7 - Savage Kings MC -D.B West & Lane Hart

Same as the previous, it is just a really good series in a genre of most of the same storylines. 


8 - Briar U - Elle Kennedy 

I have read a few series by Kennedy and this is the one i decided to choose, it follows on from her previous series Off-Campus and it follows a collage hockey team and again it's filled with alpha males who are delicious. 


9 - Wait For You series - J Lynn

This is a series I have loved for a long time, my personal favourite in the series is book 2, (Be with me.) this follows a group of friends and isn't scared to talk about the topics that we really should be more accustomed to in books. 


10 - Rosemary Beach Series - Abbi Glines

I first read this series in 2016 and I have re read it pretty much once a year since, i love this series and it never gets old for me. it follows a group of friends from Rosemary beach and its just a brilliant interconnected series. 


11 - Sea Breeze series - Abbi Glines

Again this is just like the previous except this one is in Alabama, and it's shorter, but I love these books even if i end up talking southern in my head for a week after. 


12 - Built - Jay Crownover 

Jay Crownover has lots of amazing books, I first found her through her Marked Men series (Also amazing but it's been years since I've read it and I cant remember much) she knows how to write good male protagonists and I love all of her books, you cant go wrong with her. 


13 - How to Love - Katy Cotugno 

This is a standalone and I read it a while ago but it really stuck with me, this is about teen pregnancy and the drama of the fall out, I loved this book and I need to re-read it. 


14 - Beautiful series - Jamie Maguire 

This is another series i read a while ago, but it is still one of my favourites, it's a staple for new adult it is honestly one of the best series you cant go wrong with it. 


15 - On Dublin Street Series - Samantha Young

This is a long series set in Scotland, I loved every one of these books, they were full of men that to this day are still some of my favourite fictional men.

His obsession will lead to a death, but whose death will it be? ….


This is the second book in the series is you ant to read the first book's review Click HERE 

So as i just said this is the second book in the series of Forgotten but you don't need to have read the first book, not much is referenced only a little bit, this book follows Danni and Nate who grew up together and have had secret feeling for a long time but there was always something in the way, mainly age and insecurities. 

I have a lot of feelings about this book, I enjoyed it a lot more than the first it felt more polished, and it felt more put together but I also just liked the storyline once more, I reviewed another book very similar to this in October, called Needing Arella by Terri Anne Browning, both females didn't want to worry their family's and they instead turned into the arms of the person who rejected them. So since I read them so close together it didn't feel unique to me anymore but that is more of a personal issue with the book rather than a problem all around. 

Danni was a good main character, and she was really easy to read, same as Nate, he wasn't as Alpha as Cage in the first book but there was some underlying tones of it, the one that creeped me out was chapter 10, there is no name and it's written in italics, it's the stalker's pov and I don't know it just gave me a funny feeling and I actually guessed two people and one of them turned out to be right, and that is a good thing, I like to be kept guessing. 

The story flowed perfectly, there wasn't anytime where I was bored or thought that I wanted to put the book down and at the minute that's quite rare, it also set up the final book in this series and I cant wait to get started on that as soon as possible.
 
Again the background characters really brought this book together for me, from Danni's family and her friends and co-workers it was just really well written for the topic, and it should definitely get more recognition.
