The Butterfly Project by Emma Scott

The Butterfly Project by Emma Scott

4 stars — This one was a little slower at times, and a little more angsty/drama-y than I normally go for.  But the characters were really real, and so easy to feel all the emotions for.  They each had such a unique story, and it was interesting to see how their tragedies/traumas made them match each […]

The Sun and Her Star by Dylan Allen

The Sun and Her Star by Dylan Allen

3.5 stars — There was a lot of feelz going on in this book…my heart isn’t always in the mood for that level of drama and angst, and I’m torn on whether I was in the right mood reading this.  But the thing is that I was sucked in and connected to these characters, even if […]

The Wallace Girl & The Sinclair Heir by Eliot Scott

The Wallace Girl & The Sinclair Heir by Eliot Scott

4 stars — Parts of this book were total 5 stars, I was so dug in and invested I had swooping tummy syndrome.  But other parts dragged and felt repetitive.  The pacing just wasn’t consistent.  I also believe that the book needed another editing pass (at minimum line/copy editing). Jojo was hard to picture sometimes, b/c she came […]

Saven Deception by Siobhan Davis

Saven Deception by Siobhan Davis

2 stars — This one wasn’t a match for me, and I don’t even know why I continued reading it.  There was so much leading me to DNF it, but my curiosity got the better of me and I kept going to try to get some answers…I kept wanting it to be better than it […]

Capture by Penny Reid

Capture by Penny Reid

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3.5 stars — Interesting conclusion to the series. I simultaneously enjoyed the way this one played out, and grew frustrated with the obvious plot ploys…I knew exactly what was going on, and so it was frustrating to watch my hero and heroine fumbling around missing each other. Made me spend a lot of […]

Heat by Penny Reid

Heat by Penny Reid

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3.5 stars — OK, major problem with writing this review — I was so sucked into the story that instead of following my modus operandi and writing the review immediately after finishing the book, I instead kept right on reading into book 3. So this review is going to be sorely lacking, b/c […]

The Hail Mary by Ginger Scott

The Hail Mary by Ginger Scott

4 stars — This whole series has been hard for me to read.  The thing is, Ms. Scott is an amazing writer…that is not in question.  But I’ve found that I guess I’m not that big a fan of somewhat more angsty reads.  I don’t mean like teen angst shit (though the first book had […]
