Like the cancer parts. Teared up about the thought of dying before your child is 3, having young kids myself. But the rest....wasn't for me. I lost my mother to stage 4 cancer, I was reading this with the hopes of understanding what my mother felt and to help process. I just didn't get what I wanted from this book.
Really disappointed in this one. The first 10% and the last 10% were the best parts. The middle was just a smut fest. I didn't feel the connection at all. What I want most out of my romance is the the romance. And I just didn't feel it. Wouldn't hurt to also have more world building to help with the fantasy part. I don't think I will continue with this series. I feel like I'll get the same, a few interesting things buried in smut.
Kept reading because i was doing a readathon. I was excited for this one. Mid thirties heroine with a daughter. Second chance romance. Being in my midthirties with 2 kids, I was looking forward to relating to the heroine. But no... this felt like a ya novel. Characters were very immature. And oh boy did this book drag.
It was hard to swallow that government has some test to pick ppl to insert all the government secrets in their head. Knowing how the government works, it takes forever to do anything buried in procedures and for this....you'd be slammed into top secret and pretty much jailed away. So I didn't buy the premise which made my enjoyment less.
I dnfed the first books so many times. But I kept hearing it gets better around book 3/4. So I decided to at least try to get to book 3 with audiobooks. But obviously this is more of a male wishlist wet dream. Maybe it does get better but honestly I don't want to put anymore time in this series. So many more books that I'm interested in that doesn't do the nice guy that all these women pant over and all women are detailed about what sexy clothes they are wearing and their hair,lips,boobs and butts.
I found it boring. Though the different species should have given some tension between the main characters, it didn't. Perfect characters, no drama, just a slow build from friends to lovers and just waiting for that to happen. Unrealistic and won't be continuing the series. I need more tension, heat and passion in my romance. Not watching 2 perfect characters who accept each other differences slowly build their relationship to lovers and admire besides looks, how perfect the other character is.
Hmm..welp I think this was just too long and not long enough. I feel we spent too much time in Gracies head going over repetitive thoughts. Over and over and getting no where. Then when we finally get to the love confessions/romance, it seemed short and the book ended rather quickly after.
For me it was just uneven. I feel like a good editor could have cut a couple of hundred pages out especially in the beginning. I mean they don't even kiss until after page 550.... so 550 pages of Gracies repetitive thoughts and some storyline but not really romance. I didn't feel the romance at all even at the end. I love slow burn romances but this one just didn't work for me. But I'll definitly read the next mz book that comes out.
It really stirs the emotion of anger. But in all it felt really bias. The cops were shown as so incompetent that they couldn't tell up from down and the judge who would throw integrity out the window for the boys in blue. I need to go over the court case myself but as a whole the book just didn't convince me that they were innocent because so much bias was thrown in.
It was like a big advertisement for her show. If you had a shot for everytime she said kindred spirits, you'd be in the hospital or dead. while not outright talking shit on opposing show ghost adventures, she did make some negative comments about the use of hand held tape recorders. I did watch one episode of her show and found it boring. Didn't know who she was previous to this book. Was hoping for a lot more ghost stories. Anyways not for me as I don't like reading self promotion 🙃
