4 stars — This book was more emotional than I was expecting…which, it really shouldn’t have surprised me given Asha and Hemalo’s history, but still…I definitely cried for them. Asha was an interesting character that I wasn’t expecting to like, b/c, well, she’s kind of a bitch. And I mean that outside of how she […]
4.5 stars — This one lived up to its title — there was a lot of heart in it. I seriously ACHED for both Stacey and Pashov. How strange and trying would it be from both their perspectives? I honestly can’t imagine, but I could connect with *both* sides. I will admit, I lost patience […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — Usually when I read a set of short stories, they are by different authors so they’re inconsistent. But these were all unique but great! HAVING THE BARBARIAN’S BABY 4 stars — Okay, Cashol was adorable. Like, start to finish adorable. I loved the way he would tease Megan and do everything […]
4 stars — Yay!! I always love it when a book you’re unsure/wary of turns out better than you expect! I was so worried I wasn’t going to connect with Maddie. And while yes, it was definitely hard at times, I got to see into the heart of her and really feel for some of […]
4.5 stars — Well damn, this was just perfect for me. Lila is my kind of heroine — starts out timid and awkward, ends up embracing the challenges and adapting. I loved the way she came into her own when forced out of the protection of her sister. She learned what she was made of, […]
4 stars — Honestly, I was super worried because Josie frustrated the crap out of me for the first half of this book. I didn’t understand her blind spots, I genuinely just didn’t. First half was 3 stars maybe. But then she finally got a clue, and the plot picked up and the second half […]
3.5 stars — Don’t get me wrong, I’m still enjoying the series…but I about lost my patience with Tiffany. Her struggles felt very drawn out and repetitive. And something about the way things were resolved…like, I have no experience with that kind of trauma, and I know everyone’s experience is different, but it felt…I don’t […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — Oh dear…that was totally out of my normal realm of reading…. Very well written, great descriptions…I actually felt like I was there, and frankly I was terrified. Honestly, the only reason it didn’t get to more stars was my own personal taste….I tend to get really into books, and that’s […]
4.5 stars — This is my favourite one so far!! It just hit all the buttons for me. Harlow was so mellow and go with the flow. I was surprised by what her secret was, but in retrospect it’s an interesting “problem” for one of the humans to have. And it made her personality and […]
4 stars — This one was more my style than the previous one, probably because I could relate to Kira slightly more than Liz. But mostly because Aehako was adorable and hilarious. I totally got where all of Kira’s stress was coming from, and even though there were times that I started to get tired […]
