I've read her series Shades of Magic and absolutely loved them. With Addie LaRue, I love the premise, but I don't love the writing or the repetition. In fact it felt overly long and I found it tiring in places. We know Addie will be forgotten but repeating this over and over got a bit wearing.  It perked up for me when she met Henry who didn't forget her. Having said all that I enjoyed the story.
