I absolutely adore my little teenage soap opera! The third installment of the series contained much more action and "serious" drama, but the authors aren't the most adept at writing mystery since Brooke's killer was obvious from the beginning. It was interesting to finish the book without a cliffhanger because I've grown accustomed to them in all the previous parts. Reede is much more appealing from Ella's POV; when we view the story from his perspective, the authors' presence is too evident, making it unconvincing. The twins are still entirely unnecessary and only mentioned to note that they both have the same girlfriend - okay, we get it. I would've also liked to see more of Savannah, rather than just occasional appearances when she's needed as a plot point.

Lovely and sweet, short romantic snack. It was great to learn more about Savannah because she has always been interesting in the main story, but she appeared so little. It was also fun to get to know the details of her and Gideon's love story, as well as the effects of his mother's depression on the entire Royal family. I liked the alternating tempo between Savannah's POV and Gideon's POV, as well as between past and present. The only thing I don't understand is how Steve is free when he's accused of MURDER, but I can't say I understand the American legal system too much. Excellent story for afternoon relaxation, but definitely not standalone; I recommend reading the previous books in the series.

Love at the first sight. Devoured it in a few hours during a readathon, and can't wait to read the rest of the series. It made me laugh AND cry, I appreciate that.

An excellent sequel with a transitional journey leading to the finale. The pieces are set, yet there's enough action to keep the novel engaging. I enjoyed all the new characters, and particularly intriguing is the unpredictability of Alina's romantic choices. Her banter with other characters is especially fun to read.

It started kind of boring, and I got scared that the magic is over. But it wasn't! Loved it, cried like a baby after the last sentence. Definitely reareading material.

Liked it, fun little read. It was interesting to see Genya's perspective on her "betrayal" of Alina. Only wish it was longer.

I've always seen that vulnerable side of the Darkling. It was fun to see it on paper. Wish it was longer.

Narrator was amazing, such a nice and calming voice, I kept coming back because of him. The stories are also interesting, but it seems I just don't have a stomach for true crime anymore. I barely got through the child rapist and serial killer, and concluded I don't need those kind of information in my life.

This book was hillarious. I caught myself laughing out loud more than a few times. I've spent most of my twenties in a big corporation, and it's so funny how accurately this book shows all the fakeness. I love the message of the story - honesty is indeed always the best policy.

Oh, the drama! I had no idea how much I wanted to read about Easton Royal until I started reading about him. The story is so light and easy that I read it in a few hours. A lot of friendly and flirty banter, which I loved. And the ending, OMG! It seems that the twins finally got a slightly bigger role, although still not enough. Hartley's dad is an absolute freak, and I felt awful during his scenes. I think this book is my favorite in the series!
