I’ll be honest, I was a little skeptical after reading Block Shot, but Hook Shot completely won me over. Keenan and Lotus’s love story was beautiful and deeply moving. I especially appreciated seeing a Black male lead shown in such a positive, vulnerable light. Keenan is a divorced father navigating heartbreak, healing, and fatherhood while opening himself up to love again, and it was done so well. An emotional, powerful read! Check your triggers cause there are some heavy topics in this one.

This wasn’t my favorite Kennedy Ryan book. While her writing is always strong, I had a hard time connecting with the male character, his overly sexual behavior was just a little too much for me, and got old real fast. The story had its moments, but overall, it was just okay. Still, I’m glad I read it and will always show up for Kennedy’s storytelling.

Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan took me by surprise. I went in blind without reading the synopsis, and it was much darker than I expected. But wow… the writing is absolutely incredible. It’s a powerful story of pain, survival, and ultimately, empowerment and love. Beautifully written and deeply moving. Beautifully written and impossible to forget.

This was my first sci-fi read, and I’d say it was just okay overall. Some of the science heavy terms went over my head, but the story still kept me interested. I really appreciated the humor, it added a fun touch! I followed along with the audiobook while reading the physical copy, and the narrator did an amazing job bringing it to life. I think I would absolutely love the movie once it comes out.

3.75⭐️ This started off a bit slow for me, and it took a while to really pull me in. The world-building was interesting, and once the story picked up, I found myself more invested. While it didn’t quite live up to all the hype for me personally, it’s still a solid fantasy read. I’m definitely curious to see where the story goes next in book two!
