dark tense fast-paced

What a great conclusion to this trilogy! So many twists and turns! I loved that this book was a dual narration, it made so much sense for the story. And I’m so happy with how it all turned out! And I’m glad I don’t have to leave Fog City behind, that I get to read Helena’s story next, and then finally Holt’s!

This book has even more twists and turns than the first book! I was trying to talk to them so much, but for some reason he just wouldn’t listen to me, haha. So, so good, my heart was in my throat basically the whole time. Both from the suspense plot as from the romantic struggles they were facing! I’m so glad I don’t have to wait for the last book in the trilogy, I’m diving right in!

I’ve wanted to start this trilogy for a while now, and I’m so glad I finally did! The twists and turns made it so hard to stop reading when I had to, I just couldn’t put the book down. So glad I can start the second book immediately!

Yes, yes, yes! I'm so happy that we finally got Sloane and Lucian's story! I've been excited to read it since we first met both in book 1, and it was even better than I hoped for. The tension between them is so good that I kept wanting to push them to get together and squealed when (and how) it finally happened. The suspense plot is big enough to keep you on your toes but not so big that it distracts from the romance, so good! It was a heartbreaking story at times, dealing with heavy topics, but it still made my heart so happy. It never felt like I was reading a 600-page book to me, I always fly through any Lucy Score book and this was no different. The story, the town, the people will suck you in and you won't be able to let go until you're done. And maybe even after finishing the book you won't quite let them go! It was great seeing the others there again, and the epilogues were just perfect!

This novella was so fluffy and cute! It was my first read from Charlie Novak, and it definitely won’t be my last. Can’t wait to keep reading this series!

I loved this book so much! Evan and Dash are amazing people, and they’re so swoony together! I was sucked into the story and I couldn’t stop reading until way past my bedtime. Go read this series!

What an amazing book to finish this series! I loved it so much! My heart broke for Corbin and his struggles with his self esteem and his family, and I’m so, so happy that Spencer helped him so much with it all. The Beach Bums are the best friend group anyone can have, and I’m so happy to see all of them so happy! The book deals with very serious topics, without ever getting too heavy but also treating it with the respect it deserves, the balance was so good. This book (the whole series, really) will make you think, make you swoon, make you laugh, and make you lose track of time while reading, go binge it now!

The Tease is everything I come to Lauren Blakely for. It’s filled with emotion, steam, love, friendship, great rep, and so much more! I loved it!

Vanessa Edwin and Jason Clarke did an amazing job as the narrators, they brought Finn and Jules to life! I keep saying it, but definitely go for the audiobook if you’re able to!

This was a fun read,  I always love seeing demisexuality represented well. It’s a good story, great for a summer weekend. I did get  distracted by the use of dialogue tags other than ‘said’. The used synonyms didn’t always work and they took me out of the story. I’ve read ‘murmured’ so much that it’s not really a word anymore

This was a cute read, I loved all the characters, but I was never fully pulled into the story. It was fun and good for a sunny summer read.
