Slammed by Colleen Hoover

Slammed by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had been seeing Slammed around everywhere, popping up in news feeds and on Facebook with everyone talking about how great it was, so I finally decided I just had to read it. I'm so glad I did. From the book description given you just think it is another boy/girl love story…and it is, but it is also so much more. The actual storyline itself was fantastic and believable. It was emotional and heartbreaking and at the same time fun and sweet.

Lake moved with her mom and brother to a new town and a new school. They get moved in and meet their awesome new neighbor, a.k.a. Will. Lake and Will hit it off right away. I love the two of them together. They were so much fun even when the circumstances of their lives seem hopeless. Both of them have had a hard past couple of years and are struggling to move forward. Though they will find that moving forward is not always easy.

Even though I am not a poetry fan, I love, love, love the slams. I had heard of slams before but never really knew much about them. They were a lot of fun, and the author incorporated them in such a way that they became part of the story rather than just something the characters were doing.

I have to admit this review is a tad late (or maybe more than a tad), as I read this book a few months ago and am just now getting around to writing this review. I have also read Point of Retreat and will be writing that review next. I absolutely love this series and am now a huge fan of Colleen Hoover.

Witnessing a brutal murder at work is only the beginning of Celia's problems. The fact that the victim is a vampire only proves to complicate her life even more. The vampires of New England have always had an undetected existence among humans but with the unprovoked death of one of their own, the lust for revenge has begun. Celia's concerns are magnified when a hunter from Dallas arrives in town. With Jay's sexy smile and rugged ways, Celia finds herself wanting to spend time with him despite being mysteriously linked to the nest that is threatening to become extinct if Jay gets his way. When four bodies are found drained of blood; Jay teams up with a local bunch to take out all the undead which coincidentally, includes her boyfriend Victor. Celia won't stand seeing anything happen to Victor but refuses to hurt Jay as well. Confusion, lust, rage and violence intertwine as worlds collide. Celia will soon discover that her neat little existence is not what it seems as he...
