Kennedy Ryan just doesn't miss! The audiobook is fantastic. 

As a stay at home homeschool mom who loves being with my kids I related so much to Soledad's desire to be home with her kids. 

Ethan sucks and Soledad and Judah are amazing. I loved her journey in this book and thought it was perfectly imperfect and beautiful.

I wanted to love this book and had heard so many fantastic reviews that my hopes were quite high. I still enjoyed it, but it was too predictable for me. While I expect a little predictability in a romantic fantasy, this felt like some pieces of lore were only introduced as a foreshadowing element.
I also felt like one of the romances was not really believable and the enemies to lovers timeline was a bit rushed for me to fully be rooting for them as a couple.
But the world building was fantastic and I’m excited to see where it goes from here. I will continue reading the series.

I received a gifted advanced physical copy of this book from the author. I voluntarily read it and am leaving an honest review. 

Nisha J Tuli remains an auto-buy author for me. I loved this so much. Somehow in less than 200 pages she made me fall in love with the characters (except Percy.... Percy just sucks) and really root for the main characters' love story. 

This has Beauty and the Beast vibes, but it is NOT a retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

I loved this book. Gnorman, Eugene, and Gnora were delightful and I enjoyed seeing Shona's story and meeting Owen. I will definitely continue reading this series and have had so much fun with it so far.

Thank you, PRH Audio for the gifted audiobook copy of this book. I voluntarily read this book and am leaving an honest review. 

I'm so glad I took my friend's book recommendation and read this. This book is so so so good. All of the best vibes from the early 2000s YA dystopian era, but add in sci Fi and thriller elements. I can't wait to read book 2.

The audiobook was great.

I made some wild theories while reading this and after they were too sane I eventually stopped trying to guess what would happen and just buckled up for the wild ride.

How does Ektaa keep making every book even better? I loved this book so much. Great character development. Perfect pacing. This answered so many questions and gave me some new ones too. 

This made me laugh, cry, swoon, and rage.
