4 stars — The humour on this one sucked me in practically from the first page and was picture Lenore perfect right to the end. The snarky wise-cracking between Dephne and Annette was just *mwah* perfection. If I hadn’t listened to most of it, I probably would have highlighted a whole schwakload of their banter, […]
5 stars — Wow. I don’t think I knew I needed this book, but I 100% needed this book. It didn’t even have the most prominent romance, but what I got more than satisfied me! There was just something magical, in so many senses of the word, in this story and these characters. It made […]
4.5 stars — Fantastic finale! Even in the reading slump I am in, I was still sucked in by the story. It was a bit slower for me to start, but once they got to Rome I was hooked. The thing with final books in a series is, the best ones actually answer all the […]
3.5 stars — Strangely, there was actually a lot to love in this book. But if I’m being honest, I wasn’t as compelled by the story as I wanted to be. It’s my first book by Ms. Stiefvater, and I have a feeling I might have enjoyed it more if I’d read it a decade […]
4.5 stars — This series is just solid, I’m both excited for the final book, and not willing to let it go yet. I definitely got frustrated with Gio in a few places in this book. He was just so stubborn, holding on to her humanity for reasons that didn’t feel good enough for me. […]
4 stars — There were definitely a lot of emotions in this one. Some startling ups and downs I wasn’t expecting, and that hurt my heart. I don’t know why, but I didn’t feel quite as wowed by this one. I still adored it, but it felt…faster? I’m not sure if that’s actually accurate, or […]
Q: I understand the books were originally planned as a duology, but Book 2 has a very open ending. Romina Garber A: It’s not really an ending, it’s the setup for a new beginning. I always saw Manu’s story concluding in a courtroom battle as an undocumented immigrant. But then, you know, it wasn’t an […]
3.5 stars — Well shit. I swore to my hubby that War was irredeemable. That the more time went on in the book, the less likely I was going to believe in his redemption. I was at a 3 stars, maybe less, thinking that this was just not my book (I’m not a motorcycle club […]
4 stars — Oh look, another review that’s choppy and all over the place and I’m too lazy to clean up. Wow, way more graphic and violent than I was expecting! Also way steamier, don’t know why I thought different. In the end, Sara’s persistent reluctance to acknowledge her feelings drove me up the wall. […]
3 stars — You know what? This one started out pretty strong. Dez was sassy, if a little edgy. Kale was strangely adorable. The action was fast-paced, the mystery intriguing. But it started going downhill, it picked up speed, and I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief anymore. Seriously, I initially looked at my 3 stars […]
