DNF @ chapter 15 — Yeah, perhaps it was a mistake to listen to this one *right* after finishing Obsidian. I think it would be better to read it when you’ve read more in the series and then you want extra. Because diving in right away, I felt like there was barely anything new added […]
Favorite Quotes: I shove the horrible, screaming images in my head into the dark, silent place in my mind that is getting deeper and more crowded each day. One day soon, the things I stuff in there will burst out and infect the rest of me. Maybe that will be the day the daughter becomes […]
3.5 stars — It’s been so long since I read the first one that I actually went back and speed-read it before reading this one. While it does say in the blurb that you don’t need to read the first, I feel like you’d be missing out if you didn’t. I think I still liked […]
4 stars — You know, for a short story, I felt surprisingly invested in Dru and Roxy’s story. It was sexy, which was totally expected, but always delightful. Ms. Erickson really knows how to write steamy scenes… But the part that wasn’t expected was the sweetness of the connection between Dru and Roxy. I mean, […]
3.5 stars — And I’m finally onto a non-reread in this series, so this one was all brand-new for me! I’m not sure what I was expecting from Zane’s story, but it went into some different directions than I had been anticipating. At the same time I totally saw quite a few of the twists […]
4 stars — Another reread (7 years later), but I enjoyed this one more than the previous books on reread. Which is not to say that it didn’t have some points that irked me, but all in all I felt more sucked in. Maybe I liked Haven more? I don’t know…but it kept my attention […]
3.5 stars — Hmmm…well, this one was enjoyable, but it didn’t blow me away. Sometimes I think getting into a series so much later after it first released ends up dulling the shine a bit. I felt like there were a lot of similarities to Twilight. Not like the whole book, but just little aspects […]
3.5 stars — Another reread, and another one I originally rated 4 stars but didn’t leave a review for. And it’s not that on reread I’m not enjoying these books, but definitely not to the same degree I did some 7 years ago. There are these subtleties in the writing that keep tweaking me, and […]
3.5 stars — I originally marked this as 4 stars on Goodreads, but I read it back before I started writing reviews. I’ve definitely changed as a person and a reader, and so this is more like 3-3.5 stars for me now. I’ll be generous considering my initial feelings, but I’m definitely rounding down. The […]
4.5 stars — I gobbled this one up. I can honestly say that I truly believe that Caitlin Davies’s narration enhanced my reading experience. I wonder if I’d have enjoyed it quite this much if I’d just read it. She just adds so much to the performance that I can’t help but want to listen […]
