The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole

The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole

4 stars — I don’t know, this one just worked for me.  I really loved that even though Dred and Pixie were seriously SO DIFFERENT, there was an undeniable connection and attraction between them that they couldn’t help exploring. This book definitely suffered from moments where I was like “OMG, investigate that!  Doesn’t that seem crazy??”  […]

Breakaway by Cate Cameron

Breakaway by Cate Cameron

4 stars — This one was such an easy and compelling read, I started it at bedtime and stayed up to finish it in one shot. I loved the frank and honest discussions about feelings and struggles that Dawn and Logan constantly had.  I loved that they didn’t beat around the bush, but were blunt […]

(Un)bidden & Thomas’ Heart by Melissa Haag

(Un)bidden & Thomas’ Heart by Melissa Haag

ON REREAD: 4.5 stars — I don’t know, I feel like I enjoyed this one even more the second time around.  I still had the same issues with Charlene’s age, it just WASN’T believable AT ALL, and I think I would have enjoyed it way more if she’d even just been 16 going on 17 […]

The Stars Around Us Burn by Allie Martin

The Stars Around Us Burn by Allie Martin

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.  […]

Christmas Sugar by Melanie Moreland

Christmas Sugar by Melanie Moreland

3.5 stars — OK, this is going to sound really weird, but I had a strong sense of deja vu reading this book…like I could have sworn I’ve read it before.  But since it just released, I honestly don’t get it.  I wondered if perhaps it was previously included in an anthology and that’s why, […]

Catch and Release by Laura Drewry

Catch and Release by Laura Drewry

4.5 stars — I did not expect Ronan’s story to be my favourite.  And I’m still not entirely sure he does beat out Finn, but holy cow did he at least tie Finn.  I really couldn’t get a feel for Ronan at all, in the previous books, and so I guess I didn’t quite know what to […]

Jordan Reclaimed by Scarlett Cole

Jordan Reclaimed by Scarlett Cole

4.5 stars — While you can totally read this without reading the Second Circle Tattoos series that this series spins off from, I will say that I regret not reading Dred’s book before starting on this one (I’ve read 1 and 4, but not 3).  Not that I won’t likely still go back and enjoy that […]
