3.5 stars — So I just went back and reread my reviews for the first two books, and apparently I feel consistently about the books in this series. There is a lot I LOVE, but I tend to have the same complaints. I always end the book not entirely sure how I feel about it…which […]
2.5 stars — Well, that was disappointing on a few levels…bummer. First, this is not really a Christmas book, so if you’re looking for a *Christmas* book, this might not fit the bill for you. Essentially the first chapter happens on Christmas day, and that’s the end of anything Christmas. Second, this is the second […]
4.5 stars — Well, that was another emotionally loaded book! It was a fantastic end to what has been an emotionally charged series full of characters that make me feel so much. Lennon was both not at all what I was expecting, and yet made total sense at the same time. I think that was […]
4 stars — I started off listening to this one, but the audio just wasn’t capturing me and holding my attention as much, so I switched to reading and it was much smoother. I will admit it took me a bit to really connect with Holland. It’s funny, it’s like as a character she was […]
3 stars — This one just didn’t come together like I expected. It wasn’t a bad book per se, but it was definitely missing some magic. I’m not sure I really fell in love with either character. Nico and Jade are both so…uncertain and wishy-washy with relationships, there just wasn’t a lot that drew me […]
3.5 stars — This had a lot of cute moments, but there were just a few things that prevented it from standing out. Brady was pretty adorable. I loved how caring he was with everyone in his life. But man, he needed to grow some balls (and I hate that phrase). I mean seriously, I […]
4 stars — This review is going to be completely unstructured, because I can’t seem to make a nice coherent flow. So I’ll hit the highlights. As a Canadian, I understand how truly shameful our past is wrt the First Nations people. I appreciated that Ms. Cole tried to subtly address some things, but by […]
4.5 stars — Well, that was an emotional rollercoaster that I devoured. I seriously ended up biking way past my goal time because I was so absorbed, gotta love that! I don’t know what expectations I had for Elliott, but I don’t remember being as excited for his story as some of the others. And […]
4 stars — This was a solid Lauren Layne romance, and a great end to the series. It’s been quite a while since I read a book by Ms. Layne actually, and I’ve even been on a bit of a contemporary romance hiatus as of late. I will admit that there was some super small […]
4.5 stars — Honestly? The whole story went in a few directions I was NOT expecting. I can’t explain, but the plot laid out differently than I was expecting in so many ways. Sometimes that meant there were lulls in action…but in those lulls we got to learn more: either about the world, the magic, or […]
