4.5 stars — Well wow, there is definitely no sophomore slump in this series! I was worried at the beginning, because Isadora is so closed off, I wasn’t sure I would connect with her, or with them together, but I wholeheartedly did! I really ended up loving Isadora. Yes, she was shy and reserved and […]
4.5 stars — Fantastic finale! Even in the reading slump I am in, I was still sucked in by the story. It was a bit slower for me to start, but once they got to Rome I was hooked. The thing with final books in a series is, the best ones actually answer all the […]
4.5 stars — This series is just solid, I’m both excited for the final book, and not willing to let it go yet. I definitely got frustrated with Gio in a few places in this book. He was just so stubborn, holding on to her humanity for reasons that didn’t feel good enough for me. […]
4 stars — There were definitely a lot of emotions in this one. Some startling ups and downs I wasn’t expecting, and that hurt my heart. I don’t know why, but I didn’t feel quite as wowed by this one. I still adored it, but it felt…faster? I’m not sure if that’s actually accurate, or […]
4.5 stars — You know when you’ve had a book for a long time, and you wonder if you’ll enjoy it after all this time? Especially when it is an early indie book? Well, NEVER FEAR! I was immediately intrigued by the story, and before long I was completely sucked in and giving my hubby […]
3 stars — I know I read in the back that it was based on a play, but I didn’t realize there was also a novel. Perhaps that format would be better. Unfortunately, while the art was wonderful, the story felt short and was lacking emotion and connection. It also read younger than I had […]
4 stars — Interesting look at the Amish. No idea how accurate it is, especially considering that is has been altered at least a bit to accommodate the horror aspects of the story. But it still wasn’t a bad look at the religion necessarily. You got to see the good bits, the community, the simplicity. And […]
4.5 stars — Wow, that was INTENSE!!! Like seriously, even though as a reader I generally have an expectation of my level of anxiety, and I end up convincing myself that things’ll be okay, there were multiple times in this book where I honestly had NO IDEA how Robin and Zylas were going to survive. […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — I’m not a huge Twilight fan, though I enjoyed the stories and the movies (to some degree). They’re very much a guilty pleasure, and for all their faults I am entertained by the series. I will admit though, that when I got the audiobook from the library and saw that it was […]
