Before I realized I was bi I also found myself questioning my sexuality. Was I straight? So I definitely connected with Imogen in that aspect and I feel like many people have this silent fight within themselves can see themselves in this story. This is very much targeted for YA/teens and I haven't been a teen in awhile, so I felt slightly disconnected in that regard but overall, I feel like this story is serving the purpose to validate what you're trying to understand. I'm happy it exists.

I wanted to love this and I did enjoy some of the horror aspect like the dreams, I thought Jake was a great character and I found the premise to be interesting. That being said, the major plot just fell flat for me. Some of the horror scenes were a bit jarring and didn't seem like they fit that well. I also wasn't a fan of the romance because it felt like Allister's entrance to the story was abrupt and kind of insta lovey. It just wasn't my kind of horror but I'll definitely pick this author up again in the future.

I thought Cassidy was a witty and entertaining character but I did have some problems with the book. The authors interpretation for feminism in this book felt both slightly outdated and forced and it didn't work with me. The book tried to paint jack as a sweet, charming guy and not the colossal douche that ruined women's reputations for a living. It just felt too forgiving on his part and I didn't care for the romance. If not for that, I would've enjoyed this "How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days" loosely inspired plotline. 3.5 stars for me.

I'm mad I didn't read this sooner. I absolutely loved Angeline Boulley's storytelling - it was gripping, emotional, and raw. You can tell she cares a lot about her community. I loved learning more about the Ojibwe culture! We learn so many interesting things that the culture/language aspect of this is fantastic. I also loved that the author gave us so much information about MMIW and repatriation, something we should ALL know about, and that was just another piece that made this standout.

I knew I was going to love this and I knew it would be a tough read but I didn't expect it to make me cry like it did. There was so much emotion packed into this book- happiness, grief, heartbreak, and anger. The way Jas wrote these emotions also made me feel every single one wholeheartedly. I loved the character growth, I loved the evolving relationships, I loved the topics that were handled (racism, homophobia, generational trauma) and how they were written. Jas did a beautiful job creating this story and I can't wait to read more from them.

This was a great conclusion to the series and I'm happy it got better because book two really disappointed me. Carissa's writing really got better, the characters were given more depth, the plotline was explored more (reason for the war and the divisions between the humans/fae), and the romance was nice. I will say that one thing that bothered me was the magic system. Never, in any of these 3 books, did it get anymore clear and in fact felt more muddied. I honestly have no idea how the magic system works and that did pull me out a little bit I still really enjoyed this.

I immediately couldn't take anything serious because of the character names. They're all real names but their combinations though...they sounded like bad character names in a subpar crime tv show. The plot itself was just immensely underdeveloped, a ton of grammar issues, and ultimately just not good.

The way I didn't care for a single thing about this book... None of the characters were particularly likeable, the plot was boring and obvious, and the writing left a lot to be desired. Admittedly, I'm not a thriller reader, but this was so incredibly bland and definitely didn't turn me on to the genre.

This was partly adorable and partly frustrating. There were some wonderful romance moments, some obvious pining, and the summer vibes were there. My issue is what's causing Chloe and Fallon their issues to begin with: the miscommunication. If lack of communication/miscommunication trope isn't your thing then steer clear because oof this was rife with it. Fallon even admits it could be solved with one conversation. So WHY are we here, Fallon?? Jfc.
