Layla was definitely not what I was expecting. From the synopsis, I somehow missed that this was going to be a paranormal romance, and that’s just not really my thing. I wasn’t sure how to feel about it.
That said, Colleen Hoover’s books are always quick, easy reads for me, kind of like how I feel about Freida McFadden. I don’t go in with high expectations, but I usually stay engaged, and this was no different. The pacing was steady and I read it quickly.
The story itself felt far-fetched, which left me with more feelings of strangeness and discontent than enjoyment. It had emotional and tragic moments, and the ending tied things up nicely, but I didn’t quite buy into it.
Out of the five CoHo books I’ve read, this was one of my least favorites, not because of her writing, but simply because the paranormal twist isn’t my thing. If you love romance with a supernatural edge, this one might land better for you!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was genuinely surprised by the way the story concluded—it was an unexpected ending, but one that I found incredibly satisfying. From the very first page, I was completely engrossed and found it nearly impossible to put the book down. I found myself constantly reaching for it, eager to see what would happen next.
The dynamic between Layla and Leeds was particularly compelling. They had there ups and downs but they made it together in the end. As a couple, they complement each other in a way that adds depth and emotion to the narrative.
I finished the entire book in just three days, which is a testament to how captivating and well-paced it was. I would highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a mix of romance and mystery. It’s a unique and engaging read that keeps you hooked until the very last page.

i don’t know why i was stupid enough to try another coho book. stopped because i read the quote “i think i’m in love. with her confidence, her body, her quirks and her blowjobs”. i’ve read quite enough straight romance for this lifetime.
