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 […]
4.5 stars — I saw this book on sale on one of my bargain book emails (BookBub I think), and while I haven’t read any by Ms. Cherry, I do have a few and I’ve heard great things. And she’s going to be attending an author event I’ll be at in the fall, so that […]
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 […]
3 stars — I thought now would be the perfect time to finally read Ms. Regnery’s Beauty and the Beast retelling, what with the new movie out…and crap on a cracker, it just didn’t work for me. It’s so weird, b/c I really enjoy her Blueberry Lane books, but this is now the second of […]
4 stars — I’m often loathe to read books that are so highly regarded by so many people, b/c I’m always worried I will be the black sheep. And I sort of am in a way for this book, in that unlike my friends, this was not a full 5 star read for me. In […]
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 […]
