3 stars — Hmmm…there were a lot of very intriguing elements to this story, some seriously unique stuff that has me curious where the series is going. But honestly? There was something missing…I had a hard time connecting with Meena and Jake. I needed something more to really draw me in. I think part of […]
4.5 stars — Dudes! This was so a Lenore book! I just ended it with the stupidest goofy grin on my face, I can’t even tell you!! Ms. Dallen definitely has a formula for this series, but this one worked PERFECTLY for me from start to finish. The difference between this one and the other […]
4.5 stars — Wow, I think Ms. Dallen has a formula. As with The Candy Cane Kiss, I was dismayed with the attitude and inner thoughts of Luke at the beginning of this story. He was…not nice. He was seriously insensitive (probably from being a bit self-involved), and hence a bit of a bully and […]
3.5 stars — Well hmmm… The first (at least) 1/3 of this book was BORING as all get out. I wasn’t grabbed AT ALL, I didn’t connect with any of the characters, and nothing interesting happened (just a lot of detailed description of every single day). I was seriously starting to wonder why my friends […]
3.5 stars — I had a hard time getting sucked into this story, because I didn’t understand its purpose, or what it was trying to achieve, and so I held myself back from connecting with it. I’m kind of impatient like that. I think I was confused if this was going to be a romance, because […]
4 stars — This one was such an easy and compelling read, I started it at bedtime and stayed up to finish it in one shot. I loved the frank and honest discussions about feelings and struggles that Dawn and Logan constantly had. I loved that they didn’t beat around the bush, but were blunt […]
5 stars — Welp, I devoured that conclusion. Super satisfying! I didn’t want to put it down, and so even listened to it in bed to finish it off. Erin Mallon has definitely become one of my favourite narrators after listening to her in this series. She does such a great job with voices and […]
3.5 stars — This one started off fairly strong, but petered out a teensy bit at the end for me. Rebel was actually pretty hilarious throughout the story. She was snarky and sassy, and just fun to be in the head of. She reminded me a LOT of Isis from the Lovely Vicious series. She […]
4.5 stars — Wow, another great YA holiday novella!! Again, touched on some tough subjects and had characters that were so easy to connect with. Honestly? This one surprised me with how much I liked it. I think I was worried about the bad boy aspect… But Logan was freaking adorable. I loved that this former […]
5 stars — Now THIS was what I was looking for in a cute YA Christmas novella! It had everything I wanted: characters struggling with tough topics over the holidays, a sense of Christmas spirit, and a hero and heroine that I could fall in love with! Jayda felt very authentic for her age. She […]
