4.5 stars — Wow, this book was an intense rollercoaster ride. And I mean that in more than one way. The book started off solidly, I was pretty hooked and intrigued. Then I had some…concerns and my interest was kinda conditional (I’ll get there). BUT!!! Then the plot fucking took off and I was all […]
3.5 stars — I had a hard time connecting with this one right from the start…it just didn’t feel like a good match for me personally. Now, it did pick up in the last 1/3, hence the extra half star, but in the end I think it just wasn’t a Lenore book. The main reason […]
4.5 stars — I’m not sure what I think about this one. I love it as I’ve loved most books by Ms. Bowen, but I’m left feeling a bit bereft. I think I just went through a lot in this book, and that was hard. Both Rickie and Daphne go through some shit, but especially […]
4 stars — Well this book surprised me with the depth it contained! It also had me ordering Japanese food, but that’s because I’m easily influenced. This was my first time listening to Ryan West, and he was pretty solid. I will say that with both narrators I had a harder time figuring out dialogue […]
3 stars — Well. OK. Hmmm…maybe 3.5? I don’t know. It didn’t end strong for me. The major problem I had was entirely with Aria. She wasn’t horribly unlikable necessarily, but the choices she made and the way she behaved at times just drove me up the wall. And in the end I feel like […]
4 stars — I think this book went a little differently than I was expecting from the blurb. I expected a much stronger music/poetry component, and it wasn’t really there…it was more background, felt tacked on. But at the same time what I did get was fantastic. Cooper surprised the heck out of me. I was […]
4.5 stars — I was worried about how I would enjoy this one, especially with the way Tyler started out, but it hit a bunch of notes I wasn’t expecting and I ended up really feeling for both Tyler and Mia! Mia was pretty easy to connect with — I really appreciated the way the […]
4.5 stars — I think I’ve found a new favourite author. There’s just something about the quirky characters that Ms. Hibbert creates, and the kind of romance that just gets to my heart…mixed in with amazing depth, and it just works for me. I will say, no matter how delightful I find Ione Butler’s voice […]
4 stars — I can’t seem to get my thoughts in order. I fucking hate that. So I apologize if this review feels a bit scattered. I definitely felt a lot more connection between Tanner and Jax. I loved the way they connected, and that while there were a few obstacles in their way, in […]
3.5 stars — For me, this was a book with very diverse ratings depending on what I’m talking about. The characters/story/depth/emotion were like 4-4.5. The writing could sometimes be more at a 3, and maybe it’s just me. I’m left feeling very torn, b/c the thing I loved I LOVED! Let’s start with the writing, […]
