ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review 4.5 stars

I absolutely adore this whole series, and have always been interested in what made Xander tick. 'Cos let's face it, he was a bit of a dick a lot of Connected and Torn.

But now we get into his mind, and could understand a lot more about the man he is today.

Loved tge "reverse rock star" in this book - you know, this time she's the rock star and he isn't.

There was also a lot more background into Xander and River's childhood, and what tore Xander and Ivy apart in the first place. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to slap some sense into people, I wanted to hug them hard.

Most of all I loved that Ivy and Xander reconnected. But then, Ms Karr put my heart back together, only to rip it out again. I was all WHAAAAAAT?!?!?

Did my heart get put back together again, or is it still shattered? Nope, for that you will have to read for yourself.


Mended is full of emotion. Laughter, tears, anger, hope.


I couldn't stop reading Xander and Ivy's story. From the moment I picked it up I coudn't put it down, I had to know what happened with them. There were a few twists and turns and surprises.


I loved that we got more of Dahlia and River, Aerie and Jagger in this story. Just love how close this group of friends are. But now I need to know more about Ben and Belle, because I can't wait to see how this all turns out.
