ARC kindly received for an honest review.
It took me a little while to get into this, but I think that's because I've had a bit going on - once I was able to settle down and properly focus on the book and where I was up to, I found I was really getting into it. I was definitely interested in the mystery, but I also really wanted to see what was going to happen between Lottie and Noah. I loved Ash and Granny too. Lots going on in this book, but it was a great mystery and I'm really looking forward to the next instalment. Definitely recommend.

I'm not normally one who gets booked by novella's, but this one definitely did the trick! I loved Jeff and Della's story and all the moments with Katy. This was a really sweet and fun story that I really enjoyed reading. A great little dive back into this world. Recommend.

This one definitely lived more up to my expectations of this series than the first two. It's my fave in this trilogy. There was a lot more action and a lot more good stuff happening. Lots of bad stuff too, and things that shocked me. But also things I had inklings of and then discovered I was correct about. My favourite bits were all the sweet bits with our foursome. I think Scythe has become a fave Elle Thorpe character of mine now. I liked the way everything worked out in this, but I was not ready for that bonus epilogue with Rebel. Why you do me like that Elle?! Loving the Saint View world, can't wait to read more.

This one still felt like everything was slowly plodding along, although we definitely were getting to know the characters more and getting a little bit more information on things that we were meant to be working out/finding answers to. I loved Scythe more than I thought. I like how Bliss is becoming more of herself and getting stronger as things go along. Enjoyed this, not sure what else to say.

I enjoyed the first installment of this trilogy, but it also didn't have as much action as I feel like I remember from ASH and SVP. I liked Bliss and the way she started coming into herself and I liked Vincent, War and Nash too. And Rebel is a hoot. Caleb, he can go die in a hole - he is one well written evil character in this one.
The ending also had me very keen to see what was going to happen next.

This one took me a while to read, but in saying that, I have also been busy. I found that I was invested in the characters, but at the same time I wasn't. I liked the meet-cute for Stella and Lawson, and I enjoyed her relationship with Todd and Meg. Stella and Lawson though - their relationship frustrated me for much of the book because of Stella's reactions. Granted, a lot of this was for her own personal and good reasons, but it still frustrated me lol. I liked how everything played out in the end.

ARC kindly received from New South Books for an honest review.
I really do not know how to review and talk about this book. It's unlike anything I have ever read. Most of the time I had no idea what was going on lol. It was this mystery wrapped in the unbelieve-able - but regardless of that I was finding myself quite hooked once I got into it a little way.
By the end, everything comes together - there's magic and hauntings and some crazy stuff going on. I honestly don't know how to explain it, other than to say read it and experience it for yourself. I certainly was invested in this one.

I don't really know where to start with this one. I honestly went into this one blind - all I knew was that you need to have read book 1 in this series in order to read this, and that it was a new Meghan Quinn. I didn't read the synopsis or anything like that. I was surprised to find that this was another book about Lilly and Keller and carries on from after the end of the previous book. Which was weird to me, because I thought that their story was done, and had assumed this was a new standalone within the series about another couple in the Royal world.
I'll be honest - I really didn't need to read this book - it's one of those books where I was like - why did we get this? I think Lilly and Kellers story could have been left how it was. Maybe that's just me, but this one I wasn't overly fussed on. There was a HUGE lack of communication, there was nothing really keeping me too interested in the story until I got around the 70-80% mark. I don't think I connect with Lilly and Keller - I liked some of the secondary characters and the bonds formed there, but this just wasn't really hitting the mark for me. And I hate to say that because normally I love Meghan Quinn books.
I'm quite sure plenty of other readers will love this though, there is quite a lot that happens, it just wasn't for me.

I enjoyed this one, but I didn't connect with it the way I would have liked. Bellamy sure has a lot going on in her life. Her connection with Liam is pretty strong, although it does kind of seem a bit too "insta-love" as well. I liked the characters and the storyline, but maybe it was just missing that little extra oomph for me. In saying that, I would still continue this series as it felt like it abruptly ended (I didn't realise it was a continuing series, not standalones withhin a series) and be interested in seeing what happens next with these two and also Alex.

I was very intrigued about what would go down between Vaughn and Lenny after reading Knights book. This one sure takes you on a journey - these two are so horrible to each other and many would probably call their relationship toxic until the very end of the book where everything comes together.
I was curious about what happened with Harry and I had a feeling I knew what it could be, and I was definitely thinking along the right lines though unfortunately it's not good. Lots of things to process in this book - such a rollercoaster of events and knowledge is slowly revealed. Pretty dark content with some things actually. Honestly, the characters aren't even that likeable, but somehow I was hooked and had to know what would happen. One thing is for sure, LJ Shen is fantastic at writing these asshole/bully type characters and making you want to know everything about them.
