For some reason I don’t read as much horror as I watch. That’s something I’ve been wanting to change. When I saw this book the other day I knew I had to read it. This was what I wanted The Ring to be. I’ve both read and watched The Ring and although I found the idea behind it really clever I wanted a bit more of the creepy factor. Such Lovely Skin delivered that for me.
I love that this was as twisted as any horror movie. The main character, Vivian, goes through (and does) some really wild things, and you always have the people around her who don’t believe her, because let’s be honest, it sounds absolutely insane, and I love that! It’s frustrating to get through, but you also kind of love it?
This was such a fun read, and a clever one at that. I loved the video game aspect. It’s creepy thinking about demonic spirits evolving as the world does. I love how that was handled here. Can’t wait until more people read this!...more

I was expecting to love this simply because it was written by Ilona Andrews and at this point, I’ll read anything they write. Grocery lists included.
This was so action packed and I loved that. I didn’t feel bored for a second, and the more I read, the more I wanted to know. About the world, the magic, everything. It was such an easy read. I enjoyed every minute of this. I loved the characters. That’s something I expected because Ilona Andrews write characters so perfectly and with so much care. You can’t help but love them. The story was interesting, and although I feel like it moved really fast, i know the other books are going to come with a lot more surprises.
I’m so glad all the books are out because now I can binge them all ...more

I’m always interested in finding out what my thoughts on a book that has so many mixed reviews will be. Of course, I probably wouldn’t have ever know I’m always interested in finding out what my thoughts on a book that has so many mixed reviews will be. Of course, I probably wouldn’t have ever know this series exists if it weren’t for my mother who recommended it to me in the first place (yes, my mother is awesome)
This was such a wild experience and in such a small book! There have been plenty of short books that have driven me to absolute boredom and I’m so glad this one isn’t one of them. I didn’t really know what to expect from this but honestly I enjoyed this so so much. I love that it has a uniqueness to it. Definitely didn’t see that reveal coming and I have a feeling it’s going to get a lot more intense with each book.
Am I a littler nervous about starting a series with over 50 books? Sure I am. Am I going to attempt it anyway? Absolutely....more

I was laughing so hard within the first 20% of the book and I just knew I had to continue the series. Charley is what I love in a main character. She's sassy, she's funny, and she's badass. This book was pure entertainment with some interesting little twists. I will say that what was going on between her and Reyes confused me a tiny bit, but considering how much fun I had, I'm going to look past some things.
I’m feeling giddy just knowing I have another 12 books to read in this series....more
This was my first book by Ilona Andrews. I've been told to read this a few times, and I figured it was about time I did.

I went into this book with high expectations and I'm happy to say it did not disappoint. I don't think I've ever read a book like this. It was unique in every way and actually a whole lot of fun. At first it was a little weird, and definitely weirder than anything I'd read before, but with time I got used to it and actually wanted to see what else they'd come up with. Kate is exactly the kind of MC I want in a book. I loved the sass and you definitely can't go wrong with a badass female character.
The whole book was pure entertainment. I genuinely can't remember the last time a book took me by surprise and kept me guessing. It was refreshing to dive into this series and genuinely not know what to expect from the story. I'm definitely going to continue the series. Would love to see where this series goes next....more
