4 stars — Brooke was super thirsty!! I mean, it’s good that she’s not afraid of her own desires, but holy wow. There were plenty of moments where I was hesitant about Brooke’s actions, especially given Solin’s cryptic responses, and the appearance of the situation with Sophia. But then Brooke would get a conscience, and back […]
4 stars — This one was hard to read. It felt realistic though. It’s just that Hannah was *really* hard to like in this one. But it really showed how alcoholism can alter who a person is, so much so that even they don’t recognize themselves. I really appreciated that Hannah didn’t just turn around […]
4 stars — Well, that was entirely unexpected!! I actually started off listening to the audiobook for this one, and while I was really enjoying Ms. Nankani’s narration, all of the online chatting made for a tedious listening experience (because she had to read off EVERYTHING). And confusing on occasion. So I switched to the […]
4.5 stars — OK, can I start off by saying that that cover is kind of misleading, and gave me a totally different impression of the book I was going to read? It kind of reminded me of an earlier Alienist cover, and so I was anticipating being freaked out…and I started getting myself in […]
3.5 stars — I will admit I was worried about how I was going to like this book. But in general there were still a lot of things that delighted me and made my heart happy. I think where it faltered were issues from the first book that weren’t solved in this book — mainly […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 stars — Heartbreaking. Completely different from many paranormal-ish books I’ve been reading lately. Beautifully written — it jumps around in time a bit, but it’s the first time that I’ve actually enjoyed that in a book and found it appropriate b/c it adds something to the narrative at just the right times. […]
3.5 stars — There were definitely a lot of fun elements, and I enjoyed the world (even though I may not have always understood what exactly Trinity is…perhaps I should have read book 1 first?). I will admit that the writing was a bit more basic than what I typically enjoy. Definitely not bad, but…I […]
3.75 stars — You know what? I was mostly pleasantly surprised by this one! I mean, it’s basically a monster erotica…I guess I had pretty low expectations. But I love me a shy sweet guy, and strangely, that’s what I got in Luke. Well, shy meets super fucking dominant in bed, but that works too. […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — LOVED IT! It was different and refreshing…the characters developed feelings for each along the way instead of insta-love (which I don’t mind, but it’s nice to have a balance). And the paranormal world was well-built and interesting! I especially love that the ending wasn’t a cliffhanger, but a solid ending […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — I must say that this book broke the mold for me for paranormal romance. For one, the romance was really slow and in some ways more realistic b/c it started out with an innate curiosity about the other…something that tugged them together, for reasons they could not explain, and made […]
