Book Review: Rock Solid (Rock Solid Construction, #1) by Riley Hart

Pages: 271
Format: E-book
Published: April, 2015
Price: $12.99 -> Rp177.190 (Amazon)
Rating: 4 / 5 stars

Date started: October 10, 2015 - Date finished: October 14, 2015

Synopsis:
Trevor Dixon has made too many mistakes to count. Sober for thirteen months, he’s determined to do the right thing: rebuild his relationship with his family, and help his brother get Rock Solid Construction off the ground. Failing them again isn’t an option. Too bad the first estimate Trevor goes on alone is for an uptight doctor with a superiority complex.

A hand injury took away the only important thing in Dr. Simon Malone’s life—performing heart surgery. He doesn’t do well with people and has no family, but being a damn good surgeon? He always had that. Now, he doesn’t know who he is. The last thing he wants to deal with is the young construction worker who blows his shot at remodeling Simon’s home.

Trevor and Simon form an unlikely friendship. The more time they spend together, the more Trevor starts wondering if maybe Simon’s not as straight—or uptight—as he thought…and maybe Trevor’s new attraction for Simon runs both ways.

There are too many reasons they shouldn’t be together: they have little in common, their age difference, Trevor needing to focus on his sobriety…yet there’s something about each other that they just can’t shake. They don’t feel so lost when they’re together. But with their footing so unsteady, forming a relationship that’s rock solid seems impossible. There’s blow after blow, and the last one just might be powerful enough to crack their foundation for good.

Author: Patrick Ness
Publisher: Candlewick
Pages: 224
Format: E-book
Published: May, 2011
Price: $7.79 -> Rp114.790 (Amazon)
Rating: 3½ / 5 stars

Date started: September 29, 2015 - Date finished: October 2, 2015

Synopsis:
At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn’t the monster Conor’s been expecting — he’s been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he’s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments.

The monster in his backyard is different. It’s ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth.

From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd — whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself — Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.

I know what you guys are thinking, "why am I posting a September 2015 book haul when it's already in the middle of October?" Well for starters, I've been busy with my internship lately. Man, they really don't lie when they say work is much harder than college. Second, I've been really lazy during the weekends since I have to work during the weekdays I spend my weekends just sleeping and doing nothing. Therefore, some things got abandoned like posting in this blog regularly. But anyways, I am always trying to post something you know so bear my whining and just enjoy this book haul okay! I got shitloads of books to show you guys, a total of 24 books!
