This was a reread for me because Onyx Storm comes out tomorrow. I will always love the writing and the characters and so much about this book! The only reason it isn’t higher than a 4 is because I’ve already read it so I knew what would happen and it didn’t have as much of an emotional impact the second time around.

I will never forgive her for killing Liam though….i loved him

Not as good as Season’s Schemings, I had some trouble with pacing and I feel like the plot wasn’t as much of a focus, but I still had a good Holiday time!

Solid book. I’m glad I read it, it was entertaining enough. I sort of guessed the ending but I loved the journey. The mother daughter relationship was very beautiful! Worth reading in my opinion.

I really loved this book. I read it really quickly (for me) and can’t wait to read more stuff by this author! The multiple plot twists literally had my jaw hanging open and I had to put down the book for a minute to process. I was shocked at so many points!!

I hope the next book has some sort of information on Bronwyn and Nate. I want them together so badly.

Icebreaker by Hannah Grace

Did not finish book. Stopped at 79%.

It’s just very long for a romance novel, generally I prefer shorter romances. I was loving it so much until about 62%. That’s when things slowed down and I wasn’t having as much fun. I tried pushing through but got to 79% and it just wasn’t worth it anymore. Also, I do love a good smut scene, and the first few in this were good, but then there were too many at kind of (to me) random points. And I didn’t love all of the smut language. I will say, I do get why some people love it!! The first half really had me! It just ended up not being for me :)

funny informative inspiring fast-paced

I’m not going to rate it simply because I don’t know how to rate nonfiction informative books like this. I will say, it was SO GOOD!! I listened to the audiobook and the narrator is the author and she was so funny! I feel like I learned so much and I’m constantly thinking about my own conversations with family and friends now. Many interesting conversations to be had! Definitely worth a read!!

It was a decent book but nothing new. I did like the ending, but it just felt like a bunch of generic tropes thrown into a novel. I will be reading the other books because it definitely was enjoyable, just nothing that I haven’t read before.
