This was a very pleasant re-read, and it definitely helped get me out of my book funk. I liked the characters and the way the author did the world building, and I'm quickly jumping into book 2.

I read this for the "Story Takes Place On A Form Of Transportation" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I loved it, the characters are great and the plot is exciting, and it really sets exciting things up for book 3.

I read this for the "Title Beginning With B" part of my 2020 reading challenge. This one was hard for me to review. The first half I found pretty dull and lifeless, and I'm really not interested in small town hockey teams. The second half really switched focus and it was well written, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it. I know what the girl went through happens on a daily basis and it's terrible women aren't believed when they should be, but the whole town being against her is hard to accept.

I read this for the "About A World Leader" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I really enjoyed it, the characters were interesting and easy to tell apart, and the world was easy to visualize. Plot-wise it did feel a little rushed and it was hard to tell how much time had passed, but I still look forward to book 2.

This was a great comfort read. I really enjoy the characters and how everything sets up for future books.

I really love everything this author writes. The way she brings life to these characters is incredible, and she really leaves you wanting to read more and more about them. I love how the men are both sensitive and strong, and how they're not afraid to open up and be who they really are. I wasn't as into Judd as I was Tank in the last book, but this was still a terrific relationship to read.

I really enjoy the writing style of these books, how they are detailed without being bogged down and fast-paced and exciting without feeling rushed and unfinished. Definitely look forward to continuing the series.

I felt like Artemis and Butler both dropped the ball with some of their decisions in this one, but it was still enjoyable to see how everything came around. Considering the ending, it will be interesting to see how they start the next book.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review here and on my blog, Samwise Reviews. I was really impressed with the way this book was written. Set in China during World War 2 it introduced us to many different characters, and it did a very good job at keeping them all separate. The book switched perspective every few chapters and invited us into someone else's viewpoint and background and often this can get confusing or tangled, but I didn't find that in this case. I'm using this for the "A Book That Leaves You Thinking" part of my 2020 reading challenge because it's not a story you can move on from quickly. Each character goes through a lot of trials and it was really interesting to learn how they handled each one and the repercussions from them years later.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review here and on my blog, Samwise Reviews. I was not familiar with Jaime Jo Wright’s work before this, but I will definitely be seeking her out. This story was split between 1928 and present day and each story was very well written and could easily have stood on its own instead of being combined. I enjoyed the mystery of the circus and the trials they were going through with the protestors, I also found The Watchman to be extremely creepy in a Scarecrow sort of way. The present day story had a single mom struggling to balance work & her son, on top of a ghost story and mystery of her own. Overall I really enjoyed both halves and how they came together.
