5 stars — Honestly, I’m not even sure where to start with this one, I feel like I’m still reeling…in a good way, but wow. This book put me through SO MUCH, and I think it’s going to take a bit to recover, b/c I was seriously heavily invested. I think the word I’m searching […]
4.5 stars — You know what? This fucking delighted me. I don’t even know why, but I just was completely enamoured with Maelyn’s bizarre journey, and I ended it with so much satisfaction. I think part of that delight was wholeheartedly the narration by Patti Murin. Which is funny, b/c she wasn’t perfect. But there […]
4.5 stars — Well, that’s another book down in the “OMG OMG HOW ARE THEY GOING TO SURVIVE?” category. Seriously! And it’s not just the climax big battle, there are moments along the way! I’m starting to want to slow down so I won’t be done…I’m just enjoying this universe IMMENSELY. I will admit that […]
4 stars — You know what I love? The combination of Mary Jane Wells narrating Tessa Dare words. I’m not sure I can even explain it, but Ms. Wells brings out the fun and sass in Ms. Dare’s characters. Warning, in order for my review not to be slightly spoilery, I’m going to refer to […]
4.5 stars — Am I the only one that bawled during multiple sections of this book? I doubt it. This one was emotional in so many ways. The problem is that I’m super invested in Tori and all of her friends, and so the wrenches just hurt more and more as they’re thrown in. And […]
4.5 stars — Wow, that was INTENSE!!! Like seriously, even though as a reader I generally have an expectation of my level of anxiety, and I end up convincing myself that things’ll be okay, there were multiple times in this book where I honestly had NO IDEA how Robin and Zylas were going to survive. […]
4.5 stars — This one went in a lot of interesting directions, and just added to the world I’m already in love with. I loved getting to see more of the dynamics between the boys, and a glimpse at their past through the academy (Aaron and Kai in particular). I ended up learning a lot […]
4.5 stars — Somehow I just knew I was going to love Robin. A meek book nerd who perseveres? YES PLEASE! Honestly, the whole book was fascinating to me, and I loved seeing a different side of this universe. I also kind of love that our main heroines in both these series are fairly uninformed […]
4.5 stars — You know it’s weird. I don’t read books in this genre, so maybe I’m just finding that this is a genre I would enjoy, but I’ve been LOVING this series. And it genuinely always makes me happier from listening to it. Part of it is that I love this narrator. She conveys […]
4.5 stars — I did NOT anticipate where this story was going to go! I was surprised right from the start. I will admit that I was a bit bummed that Zera spent the ENTIRE story letting her hunger get her to believe in her own worthlessness. It was so hard to see her just […]
