Aw man, this book. Seriously, wtf, how dare it hit me in the feels like that. Jeez. Favourite book of 2020 so far.
As always Rachel delivers a cohesive and engaging narrative, with well likeable characters and my favouirte - the dual pov. Even though I hadn't read the earlier Ransom series, Sing For Me was easy to follow and I devoured it in two sittings.
Will was a fantastic main character, I loved his chapters - and that charming, funny Tattoo Guy worked his way into my heart. I loved Eva too, she was witty and sharp and so, so strong. Without getting too into it - the underlying tension between Will and his family was perfectly drawn out and came to a satisfying conclusion; and his interactions with his family, especially his siblings and the 'Littles' were a pleasure to read.
I'm looking forward to reading more from Rachel in this universe!
Definitely check out the family tree that Rachel shared on Facebook - made a huge difference for me!

I was really intrigued by the premise of Cinderella is Dead - set 200 years after Cinderella found her Prince Charming, and now every girl is 'invited' to the ball to be chosen by her perfect 'Prince' and live happily ever after. It has a poc protagonist who is LGBTQ+ and who is desperate to find some way to escape the life that is expected of her. But unfortunately, what I read was lacking.
I felt that the chatracters were very one dimensional, and I get this this is aimed at the YA market, but it just read very young if that makes sense. I guessed several of the big reveals pretty early on. I could not understand Sophia's infatuation with Erin, which then moved onto the next girl that she met. The story lagged, she spent dozens of pages in a cottage doing not very much, and I felt like the ending, whilst it lasted for an appropropriate amount of 'pages' it still somehow felt rushed. Conversation was stilted and not all that engaging, I think the book could have done with some more fleshing out.
It may appeal to the actual marketed age bracket, but it wasn't really for me.

Prior Violations is the prequel novella to the authors Brazen Violations book.
I really enjoyed the novella, it was fast paced and gritty, and it eas really interesting that we got to 'see' all of the main players rather than just from one point of view. I'll definitely pick up Brazen Violations now, just to see what happens with Mitch after that ending!
