4 stars — I was immediately drawn into this book just like in book 2, but I will admit the latter part of the story surprised me and I wasn’t quite as excited about the turns it took. Not that they were bad or unrealistic, I just didn’t personally enjoy them as much. Perry still […]
4 stars — Oh Brooke. How I loathed you. This novella definitely helped to give you dimension, and I think I was surprised that I went with it, so bravo to Ms. Rossi…because even at the beginning of this little side story you were still pretty awful. But she definitely went through the motions of […]
4 stars — I can always count on Ms. Madsen to deliver fun characters, with a good amount of sass and just enough depth to keep me interested and invested. Easton was pretty grumpy to begin with, but at least I could somewhat understand how he’d become jaded, and how the circumstances around Imogen just […]
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 […]
4 stars — This was a solid prequel novella! I will admit that I was pretty confused about the timeline and how it meshed with what I learned from Perry in book 1, but oh well. Roar was pretty easy to love. Sure he was headstrong, and didn’t always think before he acted. But you […]
4 stars — Tam and Josh were just quirky and funny and nerdy and dorky and cute. It took me a bit to settle into this one. Maybe because I was just getting over a cold so my brain was a bit foggy? Not sure. Maybe because some of the situations felt a bit cliche? […]
4 stars — This one was a hard read for me. Part of me is waffling over 3.5 stars rounded up, but I honestly can’t decide. It doesn’t help that I read it while sick, which I honestly think just taints a read just a bit, you know? You’re foggier and all that. So why […]
4 stars — This book could have been a rounded up to 4.5 or even full 5 stars if it was trimmed by at least 25%. Honestly, I just got frustrated. Miscommunication is one of my least favourite tropes, but for a time I actually got it with Jacob and Briana — it made sense […]
4 stars — The realities of WWII as presented through Saira’s eyes was just…HARD. Like so many people, I’m morbidly fascinated by that war, but I purposely avoid it because it’s just really hard to take. And it was hard here. We got to see amazing people, and horrific monsters, and also all the in between […]
4 stars — This was totally entertaining, and while I bet I would have enjoyed the cameos more if I’d read the original Masters & Mercenaries series, I didn’t feel lost. Just like I don’t think anyone would be lost without reading the Nights in Bliss series, but you definitely got some fun cameos out […]
