4.5 stars — So, as with all my reads this week, I was very distracted while reading this book, and had a hard time getting sucked in. But somewhere after the halfway point, this book took hold of my heart and didn’t let me go, making me stay up until 4:30 am to finish it. To […]
4 stars — This one honestly is probably even maybe a 4.5 stars (rounded down), but for reasons I cannot explain, I just was not having a good reading day today, and so I kept getting drawn out of the book. I honestly don’t think it was the book this time, but I still rate based […]
4.5 stars — OK, so I will admit that because of shifting priorities in reading, I have not yet had a chance to read books 2 and 3 of this series, but other than getting spoiled that those couples have a HEA (which duh), I don’t think it spoiled my reading experience in the slightest. All […]
4.5 stars — This one is going to be a hard one to review. Because I loved so much of it, even if I can see potential pitfalls for others. There’s a teeny tiny part of me that thinks that things progressed too smoothly, or worked out too well, or was just too convenient at times. […]
4.5 stars — This book was so much of what I love about Lauren Layne. It gave me butterfly tummy tingles, it made me LAUGH OUT LOUD, it made me giggle quietly, and it gave the mouth hurts from grinning too wide. And not only that, it gave me frowny faces, and tummy hurts, and chest […]
3.5 stars — I have lots of mixed feelings about this one. I honestly finished it and was just completely uncertain how I felt. And not necessarily in a bad way, there was so much I genuinely enjoyed. I just knew there was another part of me that was hankering for a bit more. But I […]
3 stars — OK, am I just confused? Or misremembering? But wasn’t Lily like super shy in the first book? Damn, I might have to go look it up, b/c it’s killing me. Well Lily was definitely not shy in this one. She really didn’t feel like the girl I remembered at all, but perhaps […]
3 stars — This one left me a bit conflicted. I am a self-professed geek, and really enjoyed all the geek references in this book (whether quotes or nods to real life fandoms, or just the overall feel of BEING in a fandom). That was honestly the highlight of the book for me, b/c I really […]
4.5 stars — I did not expect Ronan’s story to be my favourite. And I’m still not entirely sure he does beat out Finn, but holy cow did he at least tie Finn. I really couldn’t get a feel for Ronan at all, in the previous books, and so I guess I didn’t quite know what to […]
4.5 stars — While you can totally read this without reading the Second Circle Tattoos series that this series spins off from, I will say that I regret not reading Dred’s book before starting on this one (I’ve read 1 and 4, but not 3). Not that I won’t likely still go back and enjoy that […]
