Melissa Erin Jackson is one of my favorite authors and the second book of this series has only entrenched her place in my bookshelves. I love the way she fleshed out her characters and the setting was also clearly described. Her writing is fun and I really enjoyed the whole time I was reading it. The only bad thing from this series is that I have to wait 6 months for the next book.
I thought I had left a rant on this book but I guess it was all in my head. I was exhausted with all my inner rants and needed time to gather the energy to write them down. This series is a major letdown from the usual Penny Reid. I didn't really enjoy the first book but there were bright spots with Mona's wit making me chuckle time and again. The second book didn't even have Mona's wit to save it that I had a really hard time finishing the book. The book left me exhausted with all its blatant agenda with no rewarding romance development nor was it any fun that I have doubts the series is worth continuing. Even though it's rare for me to not finish a series.
I'm not sure the last book will be worth the money or the TIME.
4 chapters in and thinking to dnf this book. I'm sick of racist stereotypes on “exotic” groups.
A really cute fantasy short story. This reminds me of my childhood stories, giving me the warm feeling.
update: at first I rated this 3 stars but then I saw the current rating was 4.12 which it definitely did NOT deserve so I decided to knock it down to 2 stars.
3 stars for Devil in Winter fans. Very weak as a standalone but who cares?? It has Sebastian and Evie in it!! Since I'm a sucker for them, I, and the other fans, will definitely read any book that features them and boy, how the publisher is fully aware of this. At this point, they're just milking Sebastian and the rest of the Wallflowers characters until the fans have had enough.
For non-Kleypas readers, this book only rates 2 stars, so only read this when you have nothing to do and are just looking for some random books to fill your time. Do not expect much from this book but please don't let this book discourage you from trying out Kleypas' other (much better) books
This book is a mess. Thin plots, cardboard villains, and unlikeable, inconsistent MCs.
I enjoyed other books by this author and I can't believe how this one can be such a disappointment. I wanted to give this 1 star but considering I got this for free I guess it would have been too harsh. I'd be mad as heck, though, if I had paid for this.
Typical light-hearted Emma Darcy. Not actually a 4 star since the epilogue kinda ruined it for me. It was a surprise since I usually enjoy having a peek into the MCs HEA but this book's epilogue was just crammed there in the end. As if Emma Darcy had written a much longer story but then tthe editor told her to cut down the number of pages
3,5 stars.
I couldn't decide at first to rate this 3 or 4 stars but after considering I enjoyed the first half, I guess the book deserves 4 stars.
Reading the first half of the book, I was actually surprised I found it enjoyable since I didn't like Zapata's last two books. But then I got to “the big reveal” (which was lame) and then the book turned into the usual formulaic Zapata.
