Review coming, but this is hands down my favorite KA Tucker book. Omg, so good. ♡♡♡
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
Disclaimers: I received a copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not obligated to write a good review nor did I receive any compensation for writing this review.
My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: I adored this book. It's the first one I've read by this author, but I've had her on my radar for forever. I just always thought I'd like her stuff.
This one proved that statement true. I adored this book. Her writing style is great, the characters were intriguing, and the plot line hooked me in from the get-go.
I loved the setting of Dublin and the backdrop to the IRA. It was fascinating and truly original.
I felt like I was reading a book unlike anything I'd ever previously read. Truly a fantastic read.
The Characters: The characters were multi-faceted. None were perfect; none were tragically flawed. I loved watching them interact.
Major Strengths: The writing itself, the characters, the plot, basically everything.
Major Weaknesses: The pacing might have slowed at times, but not enough to frustrate me. I thought the ending was a little bit too loose for my liking, but I still enjoyed the book.
So why 4 stars? It stood out of the crowd and caught my attention.
Can I read the series out of order? Yes, I kind of figured the book was probably a companion story to some others, but I never felt lost while reading. It did make me want to go read the previous two in the series though.
Warnings/Side-notes: Some sexual references (fairly vague, more like YA than adult). Instances of strong language and violence.
The Wrap-up: A fun, addicting read.

This has to be my favourite of this series, so much more interesting and engaging; also it's made me like Amber, I wasn't a fan of her in book one but she really grew up in this.
Also River and Rowan...

KA Tucker did it again with this captivating story!
It absolutely loved the story of River and Amber, finally a guy with an accent to really amp up the characters. Amber is just your typical girl trying to find herself and she was relatable, always wants to play it safe and plan for everything. River threw that all out the window when they meet and you can't help but fall in love with them falling in love.
I enjoyed that this story left the United States, as most of the KA's happen in the U.S., it was new and exciting for this to take place across the ocean. I felt like I was experiencing Europe right along with Amber.
The only part I didn't like about the novel was all the criminals and trying to figure out which gang they belonged to or who they pissed off.
Overall this book was amazing, it did not disappoint and I couldn't wait to read what happens with River and Amber. I'm so excited for the next book!

I ADORED Burying Water so was very excited to read Ambers story in Chasing River.
Unfortunately, it took me a bit to get into this story. But once I did, I couldn’t put it down.
I just felt that the first half of the book did drag, and then the last half of the book is full of action and romance - which I then felt was rushed.
I highly enjoyed River. His humour and addictive personality, had me addicted to reading his chapters. I couldn’t relate to Amber much however, I did enjoy her character development from a proper sheriff good girl - to finding herself and realising who she is and wants to be.
I felt like this story wasn’t over and I would be keen to read a sequel involving these two characters again, as well as Alex and Jesse from Burying Water.
3.5 stars.

I absolutely loved this book! Loved, loved, loved it!!! I could not put it down, and I was left with the biggest grin and the fullest heart.
I loved all the characters, and I completely fell for River! There's just something about a gorgeous, Irish guy, even if he's fictional! He's loyal to the death and would do anything for the people he loves, even if it caused himself trouble.
The storyline was fantastic! I loved learning about Ireland through Amber's research and River's stories. I really had no clue where this book was going; would it end in disaster, or a HEA? Would there be heartbreak along the way?
It didn't take me long to find out because I absolutely devoured this book!! I loved how Amber and River met, how their lives literally collided, and the friendship that resulted. These two were perfect for each other, even though their lives couldn't be further apart.
Chasing River gets a big 5 stars from me, as one of my favourite KA books to date!
