Piggy by K Webster

dark fast-paced

5.0

This is so dark and twisted but so damn good. It’s 25 pages and you get so much story in such a short amount of time. I mean K Webster wrote it so I knew it would be good! “Piggy” has been bullied by kids in his school for so long. Summer invites him to her house party and things go really bad. Eventually he gets his revenge and man is it brutal. You can get this book for free on K Websters website!

Jett felt like her father abandoned her at the age of 12 and never looked back. For all those years Jett thought her father was Mason and then Maury rolls up and says “Mason you are not the father”.  From the moment Mason & Jett reconnected I felt the tension through my kindle. I love that the author didn’t dilly dally on Mason realizing Jett knew he wasn’t her father. I really appreciated the flow of this book. I really dislike when parents hold information from their children that they really should know, no matter how bad it might be. If it’s really bad once they are 18 you should tell them. Like how do you tell your kid they don’t need to know who their father is? That right there would make me angry. I don’t blame Jett for going and trying to find the answers herself because she was getting nowhere with her mother 🙄 At times this book made me feel icky because he would call her his “little girl” and they really made it known that he raised for her 12 years and looked at her like she was his. I felt their chemistry and then that stuff would be said and I would lose it. I feel like had he been just looked at as a guardian I would have felt more comfortable with it. I think I enjoyed this book more than I should have and I need to go to church and confess my sins🤣

I was in the mood for a short read and I’m so glad I read this one. Many of the books I’ve read had FMC that are 35 and younger so having this be about a 46 year old woman, who is divorced and is a mother to older kids was a nice change. It’s taken place at Christmas time but honestly could be read at anytime. Where do I even begin?!? Vonn Barlowe is a silver fox musician and hot as hell!!! I’m absolutely obsessed with both Vonn and Brooke (FMC). So much so that I actually cried TWICE while reading this short piece of magic! I LOVED this novella so freaking much. I’m 37 but that feeling of not really knowing what you’re going to do with your life once your kids grow is super relatable. The storyline was great, the length of the novella was perfect and I honestly want to read it over again right now. 

You can get this short story off her website. There is a Bookfunnel link 🫶

I’ve been having my family pick from my Kindle TBR jar so I can get that TBR down. The very first time my husband picked a book for me it’s about a Marine. He was in the Marines for 4 years so I found it funny this was his first pick. One of my favorite shows is Army Wives (fun fact: my daughter Emalyn is named after one of the characters I just spelled it differently)and this book gave me those vibes but they were Marines. Right off the bat I loved Lexi. The way she was with Noah’s fiancé had me cheering!! Yes it’s very insta-love but in the best way possible. The way Lexi and Noah connected was on a whole other level. Noah is so damn sweet and understanding. I loved this love story so much 🥹

This felt like every other forbidden step-sibling romance and I enjoyed it so much! This trope is one where if you’ve read one you’ve pretty much read them all. Carter’s Dad marries Layne’s mom and Carter and Layne fall for each other. Layne is dating someone else and Carter hates him. That’s all I’m going to say. It’s a super quick read and I enjoyed it.

Right from the beginning I felt like this was a different writing style than K Webster normally has and I didn’t hate it. It definitely took some getting use to. I went into this book blind and knew absolutely nothing about it and I think you should, too. I can’t say much about this book without giving anything away other than the love in this book is REAL. The lengths people will go to for the one they love just makes me so emotional. Just please go into it with an open mind and know that your brain will be going the whole entire time. The way this book was written made you feel like you were living it right along with them. I grew to love all the “good” characters and even cried at the end. Like how did this book make me feel so much and be absolutely off its rocker beats me. Well done K Webster! You are the queen of making sure I stay open minded. Thank you for this 🫶

We NEED more short stories like this from Nikki. I’ve read all her books and love her writing so much. I knew she would make us fall in love with the characters even if the story is only 45 pages. She definitely delivered!!! I loved the whole storyline and Knox was so freaking cute! Ughhhh I want more!!!!

I really enjoyed this book. She is so wise and has lived so many years. Not many people live past 100 but she did! I loved all the stories about her patients and she even talks about her marriage and all that. Very good information, now all we need to do it apply it to our lives. Easier said than done.

Callum Walker and Penny Jones are seriously the cutest 🥹 Penny is a teacher but she also delivers pizza as a side gig. Callum just bought Bigg Mountain and ordered a pizza after a long day. The weather is complete crap and she gets stuck… that’s all I’m going to say. I’m not sure why the word “grump” is in the title because I didn’t find him grumpy at all. I mean he answers the door “You lost, sweetheart”. Doesn’t sound grumpy to me 🤷🏻‍♀️ This novella is super short but the pacing is great. It checked all my novella boxes which is why it’s an instant 5⭐️I’m super excited to continue on with the series. Dare I say I might have found a new favorite novella author 👀

Who knew you could be this disturbed in the matter of 13 pages. What in the world did I just read?

“With his wrinkled blue head that faded into his beardlike red chin flap, there was something almost attractive about the creature.” 

I don’t buy this one bit. There is nothing sexy about a turkey. 🤢

I did find it hilarious that she was begging for his meat when she doesn’t eat meat 🤣 otherwise this is time I’ll never get back. 

This novella… it was… just no. Absolutely not.
