Tour Stop: Mud Vein by Tarryn Fisher

Title: Mud Vein

Author: Tarryn Fisher

Release Date: April 6, 2014

When reclusive novelist Senna Richards wakes up on her thirty-third birthday, everything has changed. Caged behind an electrical fence, locked in a house in the middle of the snow, Senna is left to decode the clues to find out why she was taken. If she wants her freedom, she has to take a close look at her past. But, her past has a heartbeat…and her kidnapper is nowhere to be found. With her survival hanging by a thread, Senna soon realizes this is a game. A dangerous one. Only the truth can set her free.

4.5 Stars

Let's get real here.  I hated Senna, I didn't want to read her story.  Everything she thought hurt. Everything was so hurtful. I didn't want to be in her head. I didn't want to feel her pain. 

I wanted to shut her up and embrace her. I wanted to take her pain away. I wanted to hold her. I wanted to heal her.  So many times I just wanted to scream at her.

Scream at her for being so damn stubborn. Scream for being so damn closed off. Scream at her because I was her and hated me. 

Mud Vein isn't about being physically locked up. You have to dig deep and see how Senna has locked herself locked up. It's a struggle, a damn hard knuckle clenching fight to crawl through your hell and escape your confines. You have to do and accept things in life that you refuse to see. You close up and live life the best you can without feeling.

Damn, I loved this book. It's a fucking struggle just like life. Everyday you make yourself do things that you do not want to do. Life is a fucking struggle. Some days you choose to to do nothing, to let the darkness consume you and be nothing. But when someone comes along and gives you there light, it hurts even more. It's even harder to see with them shinning the way. 

Mud Vein hurts

Mud Vein heal.

Happy Reading! Go forth and feel the feels…

I am a real life villain, truly. I drink sick amounts of Starbucks. Most of the time my hair smells like coffee. I was born in South Africa, and lived there for most of my childhood. I moved to Seattle just for the rain. Rome is my favorite place in the world so far, Paris comes in at a close second. I read and write more than I sleep. When I was eleven, I wrote an entire novel about runaway orphans, using only purple ink. I am addicted to Florence and the Machine and will travel to see concerts. I love scary movies and giraffes. I spend way too much time on Facebook. Meet you there?…

Random Thoughts

• I got a pair of Spanx over the weekend. Fuck, those things are insane
• I came to the conclusion that Oprah must have official Spanx assistants to put those damn things one. They are fucking impossible to put on!
• I saw way too many Pintrest Moms on Easter out doing each other with baskets, m&m seeds, and bunny paw prints. It was insane. As someone best put it "The new Christmas." It's getting out of hand people. 
• Those damn What to Expect books are all a bunch of crap! None of them mentioned how I would be cleaning shit off the damn carpet while potty training my toddler. 
• The gym is the devil.
• How is Dancing With The Stars still on? Are there really that many D list celebrities out there?
• WTF?!

Book Review: Maybe Someday

Before you continue to read my review and think I'm some crazy kind of crazy let me just say that I have LOVED all Colleen Hoover's books. I read slammed then quickly devoured POR. I read Hopeless and NEEDED Losing Hope and when Finding Cinderella came out it was just not long enough and I demanded more!!! But simply because I am a CoHo fan and have devoured her previous work that doesn't mean I HAVE to like all her work. I'm sure everyone has had a favorite band that has come out with a song that one song that you just don't like. I usually stay away from spoilers but there is just no way I can write this review without some spoilers, no worries I won't give away the ending but there will be some spoilers so read ahead at your own risk. ***

Let's just jump right into this! 

I started Maybe Someday thinking boy meets girl, there'll be some kind of drama involved, blah blah blah, plot twist, blah blah blah, happily ever after.  Not only was there ONE plot twist there was way too many! I understand that we need plot twist and drama in books to give it life but I felt as if it was reaching too much. If you haven't read Maybe Someday then no worries I won't give it away but if you have then you know about Ridge. Once I found out about him, it really shocked me but I liked it because it was very unexpected and different. I like to be surprised and I like different, I really liked him. 

So I kept reading and kept noticing that something was not right. Things were not adding up, something was missing.  And then Ridge has a girlfriend!! 

What the fuck?!! Wait a minute!! This fool is all on her in ways a single man would act and it's ok because technically he didn't lie about having a girlfriend because he never mentioned it? No no motherfucker, that is not how it works.

So now this book that I'm reading that I though was about girl meeting boy and blah blah blah is now really about girl meeting boy that already has a girl. It's a fucking love triangle!! I fucking HATE love triangles! Hate. Hate. Hate.  This is the first time I had to take a break and convince myself to finish this book. After thinking about it I figured Maybe Someday is different because instead of one girl teasing two guys it's one guy teasing two girls. This is different than what's out there so I went on. 

I should have stopped. 

Next we meet Ridge's girlfriend. I can't remember her name. So we'll just call her My Favorite Character (MFC for short). I felt sorry for MFC, I really did and not because of Ridge and Sydney falling for each other behind her back but because of her life issues. This poor girl! The only thing she was missing was a damn limb and her trifecta would have been perfect! Her hearing, her grandparents, and her other issue that Ridge won't leave her for. I know life is a mother fucking bitch and you don't get to choose (how the the fuck do you spell choose? Is this right? Damn fucking English language! Why does this shit have to be so damn fucking confusing. I should do the rest of this in Spanish.) 

Where was I? 

Oh yes, MFC and all her fucking obstacles. Mira, esta cabrona tiene los pinche huevos para decirle a   Ridge how it fucking is.  Bitch knows that life is fucking short and you can't fucking wait around for shit to happen you fucking make shit happen! Damn I love her! She needs her own fucking kick ass book! We all know how it will end but she still needs her own story.

REFILL

I'm only a five hour road trip while reading this so I struggle on. 

The part that got me and absolutely had me disliking this book is not when he made her a Tori off when  MFC found the FB messages, it was when he told Sydney that he loved her but wasn't sure if he would pick Sydney or go back to MFC.  I was like….

Are you fucking kidding me!! Call me a bitch but sometimes you have to say fuck it and make life happen! Ridge waiting around for her and then waiting for Sydney, it's not romantic, it's not sweet… grow some balls and go after the girl you fucking love. 

I stopped reading after this. I couldn't handle it. I wasn't going to finish this book. I was done. 

The only reason i finished it was because I was thinking that this is CoHo and she does not disappoint. 

Again, I should have stopped.

The end! I hate this ending! 

I love fucked up happily ever afters. They are my favorites. When it's all perfect and the fucking sun is shining, I can not stand that shit. The more fucked up the better. But I could not like this!

**Spoiler** I'm sorry if I had to wait for a man to stop loving another women so he could love me 100%,  that shit ain't happening! FUCK THAT!! NO! Fuck. that. 

Este pinche mammon sin su fucking huevos. You would think que era su fucking huevos and not his damn fucking audition que he didn't have!

The arms. I’m a sucker for a great set of arms.

We’ve all had dates from hell tell us about yours: 

A dinner cruise. My date got seasick and spent most of the night vomiting over the side of the boat.

Star Wars or Star Trek? 

Star Trek, of course. What would fanfiction be without Spirk?!?

List the first five kinks/fetishes you can think of: asphyxiation, voyeurism, bondage, blindfolds, and gun play (and yes, I picture Dean Winchester with the last one)

~Gun play!! Oh jeez I'll remember not to piss you off ;)

~I'll get one too and they can play for us ;)

Wine.

What’s your most embarrassing childhood memory? 

Wow, so many to choose from. Probably the time I was walking down a sidewalk and not paying attention (author! Daydreamer!) and fell into a manhole.

Favorite movie quote? 

Hudson (played by Bill Paxton), from the movie Aliens: “That’s it man, game over man, game over! What the f*#k are we gonna do now?” I use this line all the time lol.

REVIEW

Let me start off by saying…..

Dylan!!! Dylan!! Dylan!! How can I have you! Wait no forget that it's more fun to imagine you with Alec. Continue on you two. 

This was the perfect read. Dylan is a serious and carefree guy while Alec is all about love and helping. They go so good together. Dylan finding is way with Alec was written so well. It wasn't a story that you didn't believe because River gave them real life solutions instead of some over he top fairy tale. And the sex! Dylan is an animal! We need more of them in the sheet or on a bike ;)

The Backup Boyfriend is just one of those stories that makes your heart feel good. You finish the story smiling like a crazy fool and wanting more because you never want it to end. 

Perfectly done River Jaymes. The Backup Boyfriend is going straight to the top as one of my favorite gay romance novels.

REVIEW

Noah and Copper!! 

Where to even begin! Best friends turned lovers….

Noah and Coop have a special relationship, you can feel it right from the start. Years apart does nothing to these two, if anything it only made them want and need each other more. Having been best friends as children they know and trust each other more than anyone else. I LOVE IT! 

From the moment they get home you can sense the incredible build up, the stares, the simple touches…..omg I felt like my skin was on FIRE reading about these two! And then once they are back in the grove of their friendship things really start to heat up. When is the line between friendship and lovers crossed? But isn't that what makes a relationship work; friends, lovers and trust. This story is so beautiful. The adoration that Noah and Coop have for each other brings tears to my eyes. The hot awesome sex they have makes me bust out my sex toy. 

Riley! Thank you so much for giving us Noah and Coop, I have become obsessed with these two and I'm determined to find my own real life Noah and Coop.
