I would have liked it more if it wasn’t for the main male character. The way he talked to her, not my cup of tea.

Short and sweet story for the holiday.

Asking for a friend, when does infatuation end and obsession start?😬

Glad Ali is killing it with writing all these book! Love her!

This was a book club pick…Overall, it was fine but the pacing was a bit fast. The scenes were sure spicy, but short and sweet.

This book started off slow, but picked up in the middle. 

The spice scenes that were in the book. (*chefs kiss*) Can’t complain because I got what I wanted but it took a hundred pages to get to the first real explicit scene. This compared to her other books is slow moving in my book.

I’m glad she finished this series and wrapped it all up with a nice little bow.

Fun story but why do kids book need to be so sad… like really? More trauma for kids to process?

It doesn’t make sense.
Know that I’ve read this, the movie did a good job getting the story right.

Now horror is NOT my go to genre, but I have to say this was a short and thrilling read to wrap up my spooky season reads.

I was surprised by the use of other pronouns, but welcomed nonetheless. I really enjoyed how the main characters talked about it and how it wasn’t a big issue throughout the whole book.
