This was a really good book! I've really enjoyed reading the books in this trilogy, and I'm a little sad for them to be over. I'm not sure which book I enjoyed the most, they were all very enjoyable and great in their own way. This was an emotional, second chance romance that I thought was a really good ending to this trilogy. I enjoyed getting the chance to enjoy this series and I'm excited to read more from this author in the future!

This was a cute read! The lesson about Insects was interesting, and I think it would be helpful for younger children to see how different Insects help plants. The illustrations were very colorful and cute as well. I enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to reading it to my daughter when she gets older.

This was a really good read! This author never seems to disappoint and once again I'm proven right with this book. I wasn't expecting so much to be put in a book this short (less than 100 pages) and I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with what a good story it was. The end seemed to be left open to me, so I'm hoping there's more to come with these characters. I would love to visit them again! 
 

A Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris

This was an interesting read! The synopsis sounded really interesting to me so I thought I would give it try. While I enjoyed some aspects of this book, a lot of it fell short for me. I was expecting a more Disney Cinderella retelling and this felt like a mixture of different things to me. I enjoyed the steam punk aspect as well but I struggled a lot with actually getting through this one. Maybe it was just an off reading day but the story didn't grab me as much as the synopsis did. This is the first book I've read from this author and I hope to read more in the future!

Savage Truth: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

4.0

This was a really good book! I really liked how this duology ended while still setting up some stuff that could happen in the next books in the series. I still think some of the sex scenes were weird because the main female character was still 17 but besides that I enjoyed it. The ending was very thrilling and action packed and even faster paced than the previous first half of the book. I'm glad the secrets from the prequel and the first book were finally revealed in this one. I'm excited to see where the rest of the series goes from here!

This book. I'm not sure if it was a good read or not. If you like very sexy books with mostly spice in the pages then this was fantastic. If you're looking for more plot and less or no spice then I would say this books wasn't great. It was very steamy, very spicy, so much so the plot didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. There were some scenes (that weren't steamy) that felt slightly disjointed but regardless of that I guess I can say this book did the job it needed to do.
