ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — ON REREAD: 3.5 stars — Since this was one of my earliest indie Kindle reads, I really wasn’t sure how it was going to be rereading it over a decade later. And while I definitely didn’t get as sucked in or emotionally invested, it actually wasn’t as bad as I […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3.5 stars — OK, that was actually pretty entertaining! I had some problems here and there with the science and concept, but if I just let go of that crap, it was easy to get sucked into the story. With the prologue at the beginning, I was able to easily guess what the […]
3.5 stars — Well, it wasn’t as bad as my other rereads of Ms. Marinelli’s books, but there’s still this super bad behavior from the heroes that’s just a bit disappointing. The saving grace in this one is that Levander has a truly horrendous upbringing to excuse his lack of emotional intelligence. Millie was pretty […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — OK, I have generally always loved Lynne Graham books…there are always exceptions to the rule, but I know I can gamble on her books and *usually* come out a winner. This was no exception and reminded me why Ms. Graham takes the “Presents” genre and goes with it without the […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — I don’t know why (though I’m sure if I really thought about it I could figure it out), but I truly LOVE books where one of the characters feels they have some physical flaw that makes them not fit for society or something…that’s not exactly what I mean, but you […]
4.5 stars — Well wasn’t that all that and a bag of chips! This is technically my 3rd time reading this book, though it has changed over that time. I think this final copy is just about perfect: it has humour, action, suspense, mystery, great friendships, and a splash of romance. Tessana is everything I […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — and maybe part of the reason I rate it so highly is that I wasn’t sure if I would like this book. I had it on my wishlist a long time ago b/c of a giveaway I entered, so by the time it went on sale and I got it […]
(Amazon Affiliate links used in this post) Each week Stephanie, Lillian and I will be featuring a SUMMER OF LOVE review on our blogs. I think Stephanie’s post was also late this week, but watch for it at Once Upon a Chapter. And look for Lillian’s review tomorrow at Mom With a Reading Problem. Welcome […]
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 stars — Womp womp. Some good stuff, but a LOT of toxicity that I just can’t not notice, you know? Ophelia had her moments of being strong and challenging — her attempt to foil Lysander with the interview for example made me laugh. And at least she wasn’t too ashamed of her own sexuality…kind […]
