3.5 stars — This was a very hard book to read at times…one that brought out a lot of emotions for me. LOTS of feels for sure (some “trying to be quiet because my husband’s sleeping” bawling too), but also frustration. Teenagers are SO FRUSTRATING!! Which basically means that Nicole was very authentic to me. […]
3 stars — OK, I know this is going to sound childish, but I’m not a fan of not knowing ahead of time if a book is going to be the first of a series or a standalone. Does it matter in the end? I suppose not. But I find if I think it’s a […]
3 stars — Hmmm… OK. So this book frustrated me. There were parts that really sucked me in and kept me enthralled. But there were also parts that made me feel uncomfortable. And we’re going to start with those and get them out of the way. Now, I might just be super sensitive, I’m not […]
DNF @ chapter 15 — Yeah, perhaps it was a mistake to listen to this one *right* after finishing Obsidian. I think it would be better to read it when you’ve read more in the series and then you want extra. Because diving in right away, I felt like there was barely anything new added […]
4 stars — Guess who has a crying headache now? Oh, that would be me!!! I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this one, as it’s a bit out of my wheelhouse in a couple of ways: a) I don’t tend to read historical; and b) it was written as a series of […]
4 stars — After my mixed feelings on Daniel and Madison’s book, I was wary of what this book was going to be like for my adorable Tyler and Eva….but I need not have worried, I was sucked right in and feeling all the feels! I will admit, there were still times I *really* had […]
3.5 stars — Hmmm…well, this one was enjoyable, but it didn’t blow me away. Sometimes I think getting into a series so much later after it first released ends up dulling the shine a bit. I felt like there were a lot of similarities to Twilight. Not like the whole book, but just little aspects […]
4.5 stars — I gobbled this one up. I can honestly say that I truly believe that Caitlin Davies’s narration enhanced my reading experience. I wonder if I’d have enjoyed it quite this much if I’d just read it. She just adds so much to the performance that I can’t help but want to listen […]
3.5 stars — So, first things first: I totes didn’t realize this was the last in a series. I knew it was part of a series (it says “The Fated Series” on the cover), but I assumed it was the start of one. I really wish it’d been more clear, b/c while it wasn’t a […]
3 stars — This one had potential, and I was excited to read another F/F, but unfortunately it fell flat. The storyline was actually kind of boring, there was barely any conflict. I mean, I don’t mind lots of happy times, but there has to be something driving the story. The editing was HORRIBLE. And […]
