4 stars — I was worried about this one, because I had kind of expected Daisy to have changed a lot given her burns at the end of that last book. But she really hadn’t. We got a look inside her head, and initially I was pretty disappointed. And even O’jek was a bit…brusque. Which […]
3.5 stars — I thought I would like this one more than I did, but I was disappointed that Sam never really had plans to open up to anyone else, especially Steph…course, that might change after the book takes place, but I’m still bummed. Sam had a LOT going on with her, and having never […]
4 stars — Oh yeah, this was what I was looking for. I was feeling a bit book slumpish, so I was so excited when the audio came out for this one and I pounced on it. This series always gives me what I’m looking for. Obviously I love some stories more than others, some […]
4 stars — You know what? I wasn’t looking forward to Bridget and A’tam’s book. They seemed like drama and over the top, and I don’t know… I sincerely saw them as everyone on the beach saw them. But you know what I got instead?? A book with a lot more depth than I was […]
4 stars — Well, Raven wasn’t what I was expecting AT ALL. Which, was kind of the point…but I have mixed feelings about that, because I enjoyed her persona. At the same time, I really appreciated the story of the REAL Raven, and how she struggled with letting people see the real her. I did […]
3.5 stars — I was surprised by how much of the book took us into the past with Mari and T’Chai. I wasn’t sad about that, I wanted to know how their relationship developed, but I guess it was probably just a scootch more than felt necessary to me. Especially given the time jump in […]
4.5 stars — As should come as a surprise to no one who knows me, S’bren and Penny were all that and a bag of chips for me. They were my kind of characters, and the story was just fun and sweet and steamy with enough intrigue to keep me going. I adore me a […]
3.5 stars — Callie was pretty hard to connect with for quite a bit of this book. Honestly, I would have rounded down, except that once I finally connected with her nearer to the end, I really appreciated how her fiery personality came out in a spirited sense of humour. And I think I laughed […]
4 stars — This novella was fun, solid, not too complicated. I felt for Gail, I can’t imagine having all that hope and then being faced with challenges. Also, I know what it’s like to feel like a child hates you, though that stems more from my anxiety. It was fun to finally loop this […]
4 stars — Nadine and Thrand actually weren’t what I was expecting. And in both cases that was a good thing. I was expecting Nadine to be a bit more confrontational and infuriated by Thrand’s antics…but while she occasionally became frustrated, she actually maintained a pretty good humour about his strange personality. She was wonderfully confident […]
