Murder, mayhem, mystery, and darkness romance. As fast paced as the first book, more spice, and gave more questions than it answered. Onto book three.

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as a did. Page turner. Content is dark but has enough action and mystery to make you want to read more. Cliffhanger ending as this is book 1 in a 4 book series.

Loved this.  We follow Greg as he navigates a bad break up, which knocks his confidence, and his journey to becoming Eric the Escort. Chapter 38 was a roller coaster and my absolute favourite of the book. Enjoy!

Cute romance, first of a series set in Dream Harbor. The secondary mystery plot was unfortunately far too easy to work out. The characters were endearing and all interesting and I will be reading the others in the series. There is a map of the small town at the front of the book which has some locations mixed up or differences in names, such as shops mentioned on page 50. Otherwise this is a cosy read.

Winter Hamilton (Doctor) & Theo Silva (Bull Rider).
Grumpy / Sunshine romance that finally gives us the story of Winter, Summer's sister we knew a lot about in the first book. Connects to the other books well and makes the family dynamic more prominent. Theo is an excellent book boyfriend considering the situation he faces, and I love that his dog is called Peter.

Sometimes you need something that's filled with good feelings and simple joy to brighten your week, and this book was it.

The story of Nesta, who goes on a personal journey through grief and darkness. Often frustrating as many characters seem to miss the obvious, and Nesta herself makes the same errors over and over. The last quarter of the book should have been the last third, and the fight and training sequences were beautifully described. There is no cliff hanger, but certainly a lot unresolved as we wait for word on the sixth book.

Epilogue to ACOWAR with some sweet moments, but....
Feyre - give Lucien a break for crying out loud. 
That is all.
