Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC for my honest review. I’ll be honest, I didn’t really enjoy the first book, but I thought I’d give this one a try to see if it would pull me in. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work for me either. The premise and world-building are interesting, and I can see how other readers might really enjoy it, but I personally struggled to stay engaged. The pacing felt uneven, and I couldn’t connect with the characters in the way I hoped to. That being said, I think fans of dark, atmospheric fantasy might still find something here, it just wasn’t the right fit for me.

I loved this one! This was such a fun, feel good romance that had me smiling the whole way through! A cute love story that had the perfect mix of sweet, funny, and heartwarming moments. It was just one of those books you don’t want to put down. The chemistry between the characters felt so natural, and I found myself smiling through so many scenes. I absolutely fell in love with this story and can’t wait to read the whole series!

I really loved this one! Exiles is such a brilliant blend of psychological, sci-fi, and horror. My husband read the ARC and loved it so much that when release day came, he immediately bought a copy and told me I had to read it. I’m so glad I did! I read the physical book while also listening to the audiobook, and it was such a great experience. Creepy, mind bending, and so well done. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to read more of his work.

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed this one! I went in thinking it might just be another overhyped book, but it proved me wrong. The drama and action had me all in, and the story was so much fun to dive into. My only critique was the back and forth in the intimate scenes dragged a little too much for me. Still, a solid 4 ⭐️ read!

This book had my attention from page one. I don’t know what I would have done if my best friend slept with my husband, and then, three months later,she goes missing. Would I even search for her? Idk! Shanora Williams gave made me feel everything, the plot twists, the anger, the happiness, the sadness. It was a beautifully written thriller that I couldn’t put down.

Kennedy Ryan has done it again, another masterpiece! Reel is beautifully written and has easily become my favorite book by her so far. It’s more than just a romance. It’s about forgiveness, health struggles, and love in all its forms. Every single character mattered to this story, and each one was amazing in their own way. I listened to the audiobook, and the singing just pulled me in even more. This story truly captures the meaning of real, lasting love. I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED this book!

3.75⭐️ Couple read this with my husband! I enjoyed Before I Let Go a little more than This Could Be Us, the overall plot was still really strong. I just wish we got a little more of Edward’s story, and honestly, Judah felt almost too perfect at times, borderline unreal. I would’ve loved to know him on a deeper level, especially more about his relationship with Termaine and his boys. Instead, it was a lot of “Soledad this, Soledad that,” which came off stalkerish . That said, I really appreciated how Kennedy Ryan incorporated Judah’s autistic boys and Soledad’s daughters,it added such a heartfelt and important layer to the story. The back and forth did get repetitive, but overall, it was still a good read that I’m glad I read.

I really enjoyed this! This was my second book by Abby Jimenez, and she truly knows how to write a love story that feels both cute and real. It’s a slow burn, but I still flew through the chapters. Both MCs got on my nerves at times but in a good way. Watching them try to figure out if the other loved them as much as they did felt so real, because sometimes you just can’t see what’s right in front of you. The romance was heart warming, the characters felt real, and it left me smiling after I finished.
