It’s hard to write this review without spoilers. So I will keep it simple and share that I enjoyed this book so much more than the original FBAA series. I loved the main characters and the plot was so much more enticing. Armentrout is so good at creating these massive world building and extensive plots! It’s amazing! This was a hunker, but I kept not wanting to put it down. Can’t wait for the next one in the series.

I'm quickly learning that when I read Colleen Hoover's books, I just binge them! Which I never do with other books! That's a good sign, right?

Colleen does a great job at writing simple plot lines with gut wrenching twists and relationships. I always enjoy her main characters and can relate to each one of them in some way. The romance is so believable too. I think if you're only just venturing into contemporary romance, that these books are for you.

This one in particular gave that gut wrenching twist at the end and also allowed readers to just fall in love with the characters, with that addition of smutty goodness. While I wouldn't say the plot of this book is completely complex, I still wanted to read more.

I went into this book very carefully because based off the book’s description, I was worried it would sympathize with Nazi ideals since many of the characters are Nazis.

I’m glad to say that I think I was wrong and I really did enjoy this book. Although the main character begins by defending Hitler and his ideals, she changes her ways and thoughts halfway through and it really shows a raw look at how perhaps some Germans changed their opinions during the war. This is a chunky book, but I was able to binge it so easily because of the major plot points and twists. A really enjoyable romance as well. I’m really glad I read this book. 

This was one of my most anticipated books since I read and loved You Had Me At Hola! I don’t have a lot of experience reading contemporary romances, but I really enjoy this series and this author. I loved the bisexual representation aspect of the book and the steam level was amazing! Perfect amount of steam for most people, I feel like. I didn’t think I’d enjoy a friends to lovers, but I really liked this one. Such a fun read!

Wow wow wow! What a sexy and unique book! No but really, this was a first for me in my reading history. Who would have thought a dragon could be sexy?! I really enjoyed this book. Gave me both a good storyline as well as enough smut to keep me happy. I can NOT wait for the next books in this series! I loved how short this was but it gave just enough to keep me happy. Both the main characters were likable and the chemistry was there for sure. I think even if you aren't a fantasy fan, you'd still enjoy this book. 

This was a bookclub read for my thriller bookclub! Let’s start off saying that this is a really nostalgic book. Blockbuster for one is a somewhat big part of it. Be kind, rewind! I am not usually a fan of crime thrillers or detective thrillers, which this is one, but this was super enjoyable and such a fast paced read. I really liked the multiple POV and I think that made this book fly by in timeline.

My only downfall of this book is that I guessed the murderer very, very early on. That was quite disappointing. That being said, I enjoyed finding out the what and why of the murder further on in the story. I was also surprised by other major plot twists, so that was good. I even gasped at one point!

Overall, this was highly enjoyable! 

The premise of this book is really unique and I appreciated the science lingo used by Sarah Gailey when writing this book. Even if you don't know a thing about science, the descriptions used in this book can be greatly appreciated. It really helped me get deep into the plot and characters. I guessed much of the major plot twists, but I found it still enjoyable to follow along. I am more of a plot gal, and this book focuses more on the characters and how they are feeling in the situation they put themselves in. I didn't enjoy that aspect as much. I wish there had been bigger plot details than what was given. Overall, a decent book with original thinking.

An outstanding and thorough collection of early history of England. Though there are a few high level of vocabulary in this book, the ideas were easy to understand. As someone who is not English and had no pre-knowledge of English government, it was somewhat easy to learn and take on.

I loved the chronological order of text as well as the fun chapters in between about specific subtopics of England, such as religion, clothing and food industry. I can’t wait to read the rest in this series!

Where I don’t think this was a bad book, I just didn’t enjoy it that much. I think the story had a great message about overcoming judgment from others, especially when it comes to hatred towards particular groups of people (ie. Jews). The three main heroines were all enjoyable to read and pretty likable.

That all being said, I felt bored most of the time and just wanted the story to end. It felt long winded. If you like fantasy book with YA type elements, read this one.

So I definitely have thoughts. I will start off this review by saying that Station Eleven was my top read of 2021. I was left amazed and flabbergasted. I loved it beyond words. So going into this book, I went in completely blind and had super high expectations. The plot fell a bit flat for me, but I do have to give credit for how amazing the book's twists was wrapped up at the end. The interconnectivity of the time travel aspect was really well done. This book reminded me a lot of Recursion by Blake Crouch, which that's another book that left me flabbergasted. I didn't think the plot of this book was super exciting but it was written really well and well planned out.
