Lili V's Most Popular Reviews

This was one batch of characters that you connect to so intensely that you need to know the endings to their individual stories, and how whole they shape Second Chance Summer out to be.

Really great fantasy read. I didn't expect the world to be as expansive as it was nor did I expect all the awesome action. The characters were a nice surprise as well with their bad ass attitudes and comical exchanges.

A short but filling read to devour in a couple sittings, just what the doctor ordered.

Really enjoyed the world-building in this trilogy. It was the highlight of the whole thing because while I'm usually a character-driven reader, I enjoyed the familial and friend relationships in this series more than the romance. The chemistry was lacking quite a bit between the FMC and her love interests, and most of all, while I appreciated how mature and competent she was, the writing of her character wasn't very fleshed out. There were a lot of mentions about the AGE of these characters, and their psuedo-immortality, but the impact of that time and experience was lacking from their character-building. Basically, don't just tell me you're old, talk to me about how you've lived!
