I started writing in a new journal around the time school was about to end in May. Now, I have reached the end of the journal leaving a lot of books I haven’t reviewed yet. This is my post(s) to clear out all books not reviewed yet.
I haven’t touched a human in three years. That seems like it would be a difficult task, but it’s not. Not anymore, thanks to the internet.
I am, quite possibly, the most popular recluse ever. Not many shut-ins have a 200-member fan club, a bank account in the seven-figure range, and hundreds of men lining up to pay for undivided attention.
They get satisfaction, I get a distraction. Their secret desires are nothing compared to why I hide… my lust for blood, my love of death.
Taking their money is easy. Keeping all these secrets… one is bound to escape.
What if you hid yourself away because all you could think of was killing? And what if one girl’s life depending on you venturing into society?
Enter a world of lies, thrills, fears, and all desires, in this original thriller from A. R. Torre.
[Chapters 1-5]
The story is different so far: the main character is a cam girl, locked in her apartment, and wants to kill.
My only possible issue is something is off with this book. I cannot tell what it is but this reason may stop me from getting this book. DNF
 
The youngest of six talented sisters, Elyse dâAbreau was destined for stardomâuntil a boating accident took everything from her. Now, the most beautiful singer in Tobago canât sing. She canât even speak.
Seeking quiet solitude, Elyse accepts a friendâs invitation to Atargatis Cove. Named for the mythical first mermaid, the Oregon seaside town is everything Elyseâs home in the Caribbean isnât: An ocean too cold for swimming, parties too tame for singing, and people too polite to pryâexcept for one.
Christian Kane is a notorious playboyâinsolent, arrogant, and completely charming. Heâs also the only person in Atargatis Cove who doesnât treat Elyse like a glass statue. He challenges her to express herself, and he admires the way she treats his younger brother Sebastian, who believes Elyse is the legendary mermaid come to life.
When Christian needs a first mate for the Coveâs high-stakes Pirate Regatta, Elyse reluctantly stows her fear of the sea and climbs aboard. The ocean isnât the only thing making waves, thoughâswept up in Christianâs seductive tide and entranced by the Coveâs charms, Elyse begins to wonder if a life of solitude isnât what she needs. But changing course again means facing her past. It means finding her inner voice. And scariest of all, it means opening her heart to a boy whoâs best known for breaking them . .
[Up to chapter 2]
Negatives: Of course the guys family is super rich and has multiple colored eyes. Overall, I’m not blown away by it.
Positives: How Sarah Ockler described the main character in terms of skin tone, cultural background, and as a person is interesting.
I put  The Summer of Chasing Mermaids release date on pusleit on my calendar months ago.  By the time it finally released I had already let go of y.a. so I did not have the most enthusiasm to read this. I over road this feeling just so I could try this book out (if we are being honest for the main character girl, Elyse). It is not a bad book but I felt like I was forcing myself to read it.  DNF
