4.5 stars — I’m always wary of prequels. Will they live up? Will they fundamentally change the character? This one was spectacular. We got to see a much different Viv, but the fundamentals are still the same. And not only that, we got to see glimmers of her changing into the Viv we meet in […]
3.5 stars — Well huh. So, I still really enjoyed myself and was sucked into finishing this one, and still had a great time speculating about theories with my hubby while we listened. But the thing is…we got to the end, and I was a bit let down. There were quite a few gaps that […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — So here’s the thing. A lot of this book was 4 stars, or 4.5 rounded down maybe. But when I got to the end, there were just so many things that HIT with me, that I’m rounding up and I don’t even care. Here’s another thing: I’m not sure I would have […]
4.5 stars — Ahhhh!!! This was sooooo good! It totally lived up to my expectations for Ringo and Charlie’s new life together, and I’m only sad that there aren’t more books in the series already written! What am I going to do with myself? I honestly COULD NOT put this down once I started listening […]
4.5 stars — I’m not sure what I was expecting from Fizzy’s book, but this wasn’t it…in the BEST possible way. Fizzy was delightfully exuberant, unapologetically herself, totally sex positive, and yet lost in such a unique way. I’m sure I’ve read a heroine like her, but trust me when I say it’s rare. I […]
3.5 stars — I was absolutely sucked into this one from the beginning, but I’m not sure if my mood changed and affected the reading, or if the story truly just didn’t keep the same pace. That’s the frustrating thing — am I distracted b/c the book isn’t holding my attention, or is the book […]
4.5 stars — My regret? That I didn’t read this earlier and faster so that I could have met Ms. Eddings in person this past weekend. Ah well. Why is it that sometimes the hardest reviews to write are the really good ones? The biggest thing I can say about this book is that I […]
4.5 stars — I actually read these novellas totally out of order and finished this one last, but that didn’t impact my enjoyment at all! I wasn’t sure what I was going to get with these two characters, but what I got was freaking adorable. I loved the crushes, and the tentativeness, and the blushes, […]
4.5 stars — This one just hit for me. There was something about Axel and Rooney that had me captivated even from the previous books. They are such a study in contrasts in some ways, but seeing them find safety in one another was so rewarding. I feel like I got a completely different impression […]
