Fragged

Mini-Review:<br /><br />I was a little surprised to see that #4 was returning the focus to Riley, but it made sense. I loved the 1/3 of the story because it felt like a good continuation of the series &amp; plot. The rest of the book? While small chunks were great and the overall message is cool, the story stopped being a romance. Heck, this one didn't even try to be a romance novel. It is a story about friends, family &amp; love but it's not a romance about two people falling in love. <br /><br />Here's the thing, as a story? This book was not satisfying because the plot, action sequences and lectures were not well done. When you write a story, you have to decide what you're writing about and how to get that done. The first book did a great job of balancing a romance with messages. The rest of the books come across as happy lectures. <br /><br />If you want a happy story about acceptance and caring, this series is great. For me, it's a little too heavy handed about themes vs the story being told. I'm a bit bummed because I want the same mix of great characters, romance, mostly believable plot and strong themes in each book. It's not an impossible task but it can be tricky to pull off if the core reason for what you are writing changes. <br /><br />I really love the messages but I didn't enjoy reading about them back to back with very little conflict (internal/external) and transitions for the issues to be faced and handled. It made the message cheesy or story unbelievable. I want a successful expression of the core ideas and that didn't come across to me. Hence, bummed but still loving the characters involved.<br /><br />Cheers For:<br />- Family is not just blood related but chosen. <br />- Sexuality is whatever you want it to be.<br />- Acceptance does not have rules. You either do or don't. <br />- Be True to Self &amp; Others

I love the Gamer Girls series. I like that there is a series about a group of gamers, and the girls are into the tech as much as the guys. I love that the girls do stuff they love. And because I'm a science nerd, I enjoy a different picture of women which is drawn here. <br /><br />I really enjoyed how Riley and Kitty build their own family of flawed persons. They fit and they are good people.<br /><br />I highly recommend this series and I'm sure I will enjoy the other three books in this series. Auryn and Kitty capture me with their writing style.

I highly recommend you read this series ! Or any of Auryns book ! <br /><br />Giving it 5 freaking stars , wish I could give it more <br /><br />I love love Riley! <br /><br />This book has made me laugh and cry. <br />This book starts a few months after Rileys first book , and of course trouble is still brewing because of the Kog. We get to know more about Cyn ! He is one hell of a guy and I can't wait for his book next ! That one , be still my heart, I love Logan he is one hell of a guy but the broken and damaged men just do something for me. <br /><br />But what stood out for me were the family moments. Knock , Riley , Logan and Kitty. <br /><br />I will not say what happends but Riley damn she is one hell of a sister and her talks with Knock made me cry. <br /><br />The hotel scene ,that one ?.<br /><br />The Dinner table scene made me laugh so hard ! Kitty is a genius, and Knock and Logans moment you all know what I am talking about ? , phew I cried so hard laughing. I dont mind watching with them too ?<br /><br />Kitty and Riley are still a great team , and some changes are happening and I can also not wait for that one! <br /><br />All in All Miss Hadley and miss Cox wrote another incredible story!

<strong>Dangerous, but sweet, too.</strong><br /><br />This story is getting darker and more disturbing, but I love it. <br /><br />How do you fight hackers who are taking their form of punishment into the real world? This series shows what cyber terrorism against women in gaming feels like. It's scary. This book takes it to the next level and of feels like something really awful is coming in the next book. <br /><br />Despite the terror in this, there's this incredible story about misfits coming together to create a family and it's the sweetest thing. I think a lot of people on the other side of these screens might be lonely in real life, so when these characters find acceptance and love in their games and in reality, it gives me a warm feeling that I can't describe very well. It's just good, you know? <br /><br />Anyway, I loved this book and am loving this story. On to the next book!

I absolutely ADORE this series. I’m not a gamer as I’ve said before but being inside this world makes me want to be, even though I’m in my 40’s. My kids suddenly think their mum is cool as I find myself slipping in gamer lingo and watching their heads turn like an owls wondering how their mum knows so much lol, if only they knew!<br /><br />I love the strength of the girls in this series, despite everything they are up against they have big balls and don��t take no shot from anyone. Yes, the men are bewitched by them, but I personally am enjoying seeing tough men brought to their knees when the right woman comes along. I can’t get enough of this unconventional “family” and I cannot wait to see where this series goes going forward. I’m hoping they don’t stop at the planned 6 books.

Really love the entire serie so far !

We have circled back to Riley. Or at least that's what I thought. This story gives us a peek at several other characters that are dealing with their own struggles. This is probably the most woke of all the books so far. All the hot topics are in it, abortion, gun violence, race issues, lgbt issues, sexism (that's the entire basis of this series, slut shaming, family values, religion, sure there is more. <br /><br />I can't tell you how many times I had to pause and just say DAMN... <br /><br />I love this entire series but this one book could probably be made into a movie and win some awards like it's that damn good. Right from the start it popped off and just steady stayed intense and full of surprises. <br /><br />Netflix needs to get on making this into a mini series so I can eat pop corn and cuddle with my man and our dog while reliving this wild ride.

Thoughts:<br />Riley gets on my nerves 80% of the time.<br />All the man have only half man card since booked 2. The girls wear the pants in every relationship and don't accuse me of shit, I'm all about equal rights, that said...<br />I would like so see Murder grow a pair and have a more firm stance about his child... (Like being ok with her option but make it very clear that he would be part of that child's life no matter what but he just cowers and gives her "space"). Hate when the father figure is downsized to a check on the mail and 2 weekends every month.<br />The grand plan of girls talking shit and faking shooting them down on chat is so stupid, just game, win and fuck them all... Less talk more results. <br /><br />Loved the "talk", hated that was ruined by Void submitting even more to Reilly by considering being pegged..

So Auryn Hadley is one of my all time favourite RH authors. This is not an RH so don’t get excited if that’s why your here. Stick around tho – because even if RH is your jam – this can still your peanut butter.<br /><br />Auryn Hadley teams up with Kitty Cox (a genius on her own too) to write this really bad ass series. I have read all the books before this one too and fell in love with them as well. Let’s get into why:<br /><br />Bad ass woman. Bad ass woman that are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in. That are not afraid to stand up for the underdog and fight for them, even if it means they might get hit in the process. I really love how these two ladies created females that are so independent and incredibly strong, yet not afraid to let their guards down when it is with the right guy.<br />Now – the guys. You know those books you read where the H is just so fucking perfect that you kind of want to nut punch your significant other for not being even a little more perfect? Well this is one of them. Holy smokey dokes. Void is one of the greatest guys I have ever read. He is officially in my virtual harem of book boyfriends and I do not see him ever leaving. Ever.<br />So I mentioned the bad ass woman. This is true for all the female characters in the book (and series). However I need to call out my girl Riley here. I really wish I was her. I wish I could rock me some neon dreads and not give a complete fuck what people think of me. I can’t. I can however live vicariously through her character when reading these books.<br />This is Riley’s second book in the series – and seriously folks – I can tell you I am not but hurt about that for a moment. I love that I got another look and her and Logan’s life. I love that I got a little peak at that happily ever after (even if things aren’t all sunshine and roses).<br />The story line. Oh My Word. I love the idea. I love the whole ‘woman taking down the patriarchy’ vibe they have going down. I LOVE the female empowerment. I love how they are not laying down and letting the Kings take them down. I cannot wait to get stuck into the rest of the series and getting to know some more of the characters.<br />Yes. I know I cannot give the book six stars. Doesn’t mean I can’t give you more reasons why I loved the book right? The supporting characters are awesome. The whole crew (men, woman, and those still transitioning) are really what makes these books so great to read. I love the support and help they have and how they stick together.<br />If you haven’t read this yet? What the hell is your problem?
