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 […]
4.5 stars — This was a delight from start to finish. It was so easy to fall in love with ALL OF THE CHARACTERS in this book, most especially Shane and Gabriel. They both had such interesting struggles to work through in their pasts. I love how these traumas affected who they are now, but it […]
5 stars — I don’t know what it is about Ms. Bowen and this world, but I’m seriously loving it… and loving where it’s going with this spin off. So many possibilities!! Eric and Alex are both delightful and easy to connect with. Alex is so hardworking and brilliant, it really comes across in the […]
4 stars — I was really sucked in to the beginning of this story and didn’t want to put it down, which of course made for a very late night of “one more chapter” before I finally couldn’t keep my eyes open. Still haven’t learned the “don’t start a book at bedtime” lesson. Holy cow […]
4.5 stars — FUCK that was good. I’ve only read two books by Ms. Rothert so far, and I LOVED Hooked, so I wanted to try another one. And wow. I started this at 11pm in bed, and I was up until 2:30, almost reading the whole thing in one sitting. (and honestly, the only […]
Favorite Quotes: White-hot fury burns through me, scouring me hard enough that there’s no doubt about how I feel about her. No doubt that whatever I fuck up, whatever I ruin, I’ll always come back to her. She’s a riptide, constantly pulling me under, and I’ll sink away and drown before I come up for […]
4.5 stars — This was most definitely my favourite story in the Aspen Falls series! I LOVED it! The strength of this story lies in the individual stories of Leah and Kellan, and how they slowly converge. The romance was lovely, don’t get me wrong, but that’s not what kept me coming back to this […]
3 stars — I don’t know, there was nothing inherently wrong with this book, I just had a hard time staying focused, and I didn’t really connect that strongly with Cam or Alex. And characters are a huge part of why I fall in love with books, so that’s a bummer for me. It felt […]
3.5 stars — I was sucked right into the beginning of this one!! It was compelling, I was intrigued by our two main characters, and the mystery felt like it was shaping up to have an Erin Brokovich feel…I was curious how it was going to play out! But then somewhere along the way I […]
4 stars — OK, if you guys want to know the honest truth, I apparently forgot about this review. I don’t even know how that happened. I finished this like almost 3 months ago and wrote a few vague notes, and then…what? What happened? I don’t even know. It got lost in the shuffle? I […]
