I really wanted to love this, but the “knot” stuff was ick. 🥴🥴🥴 Loved the characters, the premise, the writing. Literally everything else was great, but I just couldn’t get past it.

A promising start to the series. I think I would have enjoyed this more if it were New Adult rather than YA. As is, I thought the author missed a lot of opportunities to create tension and intrigue between our main characters. To each their own though. As a high school student I may have rated this more favorably.

A compelling read. In the running with Outlander & Kindred for my favorite time travel book.

I have really enjoyed this series. The last book suffered a bit from second book syndrome but things start to pick up again in book three. I enjoyed the clever way the authors wove the classic tale of Cinderella into this story. Looking forward to book four.

This was my first Emily Stone book and on the whole, I thought this was well written and an enjoyable read. The concept of “fate” was an odd emphasis for a book centered around grief and loss, but I was invested in their story and rooting for them to find happiness and resolution. I didn’t find this book to be particularly “Christmasy” but that’s okay.

Like a smutty fever dream. The monster kink baffles me. The author wrote out all her uncomfortable fantasies and added in scraps of a plot as an afterthought. These books just aren’t good.

The worst Hallmark movie you’ve ever seen is better than this book.

This book somehow managed to do way too much and not enough in equal measure. If you want an author who quotes frozen lyrics non ironically and thinks collectible spoons are peak romance, this is the book for you.

I literally wanted to DNF this at 98%. After reading book one, I thought this series had potential, but I was all but begging this book to end. Someone yell at me if I start book 3.

A mildly interesting start and then this crashed and burned.
