Falling for Gage by Mia Sheridan
3.0

I think this is the only instance where I think reading the City of Bones series would've benefited this author. Because what do you mean you had a "they could be siblings" storyline and thought that was an okay thing to write about and publish in a book. Does this author know about Cassandra Clare? Does she know the parabatai lore? Please Mia tell me if you've read the "My sister, my blood, my family. I should want to protect you" line and just assumed that everyone thought this was a good scene and not the weirdest thing you've ever read. That's the main thing that dragged this book down for me personally. Stop! With! The! Sibling! Fake-outs! I've had enough!
The couple was cute, I liked Rory and Gage had his moments. I think I mainly just liked the Hale moments because I was like "hey I know those guys. I read about them" Other than that I think the B plot about her finding her father just seemed a little weird at some points, like why did she chose to pretend to be someone when she could've just like asked around. Like why did you have to lie girlie.
I don't know, I think that little things fell flat for me, but overall it was a pretty okay read.
