I've only read a few New Adult books but they have all felt the same so I'm going to have to add Tidal and One Week Girlfriend to my wishlist. I'm always looking for something new and I'm tired of New Adult simply being sexed up YA books. They need different plot lines so I'm glad I don't have to give up the genre. <br /><br />Beautiful Disaster had several high and low moments for me. I like Travis but he still isn't my favorite male character. He just didn't have a reason to act the way he did for most of the book. I see the anger issues but there had to be more than that for him to be a tortured hero, more for him to act out the way he did. I hope you enjoy Walking Disaster, it was like a repeat for me but provided a few new pieces.

He is what makes the series. It isn't as Strigoi action packed as VA but I enjoy it just as much. <br /><br />I bought Tidal as soon as it came out as well because it just sounded awesome! Must read it soon!<br /><br />One Week Girlfriend has caught my attention on blogs and I love NA! <br /><br />I read Beautiful Disaster close to when it came out and there wasn't quite as much type. I think Travis makes a lot of mistakes but that is the point of a story. To see characters be real, mess up, learn, change. It is very addicting too! I just finished Walking Diaster which was also great! I especially don't hate Travis anymore now that I can see his side. He still did a couple horrible things but we all do when we are mad and hurt.

I kinda thought I might give up on this series after #1 but gave it another shot with The Golden Lily and it hooked me enough to read TIS. And I loved it! I also really loved Beautiful Disaster, faults and all! ;) So I'm glad it was worth reading for you. As for Tidal and One Week Girlfriend...they're both waiting for me. :) Can't wait!Bookworm Brandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834408515209743135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-3227124813600392682013-03-26T18:28:33.439-07:002013-03-26T18:28:33.439-07:00I have been a bit on the fence about Beautiful Dis...I have been a bit on the fence about Beautiful Disaster but I really want to read the second one so I think I'll definitely have to read it one of these days. <br />Tidal sounds really good and YAY for being picked up by a publisher!Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701325312535440179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-59268005353357009332013-03-26T12:07:33.863-07:002013-03-26T12:07:33.863-07:00So so glad you loved One Week Girlfriend & Bea...So so glad you loved One Week Girlfriend & Beautiful Disaster. Both are fabulous. I have Second Chance Boyfriend and can't wait to get to it. I have too much to read - like you and I find myself struggling to fit everything in.<br /><br />As for The Golden Lily.

In the first book, I had no idea where this whole Sydney and Adrian thing was going or if I was been going to like it. But seeing Adrian really go after a girl was my favorite part. I love this series more with each book.<br />I love the new cover of Tidal and after seeing this review and Autumn’s review I think I might like it.<br />Well, you know how much I loved OWG and how happy I am you read it :) Loving the second book so far!<br />I LOVED Beautiful Disaster even though I hated Abby.

I admit, Sydney took some getting used to, but as usual, Adrian steals the show. :)<br /><br />As for Beautiful Disaster, I appreciate your review, but I just don't think I can read this one. So many people just hate the protagonist or the love interest, and I'm all about character-driven novels, so if I can't even get on board with the two MCs, how am I going to enjoy myself?<br /><br />Great reviews all around! :Dstarryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-57394608380536198192013-03-26T09:27:27.879-07:002013-03-26T09:27:27.879-07:00I am soooo glad you liked Beautiful Disaster.

They both sound really amazing. Beautiful Disaster is one I have avoided because I have issues with the anger issues and possessiveness. There have been books I would have enjoyed if not for that aspect and I don't want to hate what is probably a great book because I can't get past the male behavior. I'm sure it's a fantastic book, especially judging by the reviews for it. Anyways, fabulous reviews hon!!
