Really enjoyed this although I did feel like the relationship moved super fast. Love Galina and Luca together and learning Lina's backstory

I enjoyed Spoiler Alert but I refuse to keep reading this. I was under the impression that part of the purpose of this series was to be fat positive but from page one of All the Feels the mmc describes the woman who is supposed to be his love interest as a bird and makes unpleasant comments about her size and shape. No thanks

I disagree with all of the criticism that says that this book "doesn't feel like a romance"  because it deals with heavier topics. None of that makes it less of a romance and isn't too far off from the other books in the series. I enjoyed this one much more than The Bride Test but not as much as The Kiss Quotient

I am speechless and I think I want to fight the author now......she knows what she did lol

This one did feel a tad slower but I attribute that to all of the perspectives that we got this time around
I am so excited to see how this all ends

I did enjoy this for the most part however I really loved Dev and can't stand Gia or most of her family. I also do not recommend the audiobook

This was so cute

Jas is now my favorite MMC. I love him and the fact that he  /spoiler> told Katrina's dad that he would kill him.

Magic for Liars

Sarah Gailey

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

This was the book that I was reading to give Sarah Gailey a second chance after I rated The Echo Wife 1.5 stars. Unfortunately it was super boring. The main character is very bitter towards her twin sister because the twin has magic and she doesn't yet she's trying so hard to convince herself that she doesn't care

I loved book one and what kept me from giving this a full five star was that I hate that 
so many people are still questioning Amari and treating her like shit as if she hasn't already proven herself. I'm also not a big fan of the redemption arc for either of the Van Helsing twins. I am glad that Quinton is finally awake though. I'm excited to see him and Amari work together and I hope he's on the cover of the next one!

I LOVED this book!!

I absolutely love Amari. I wanted to smack everyone who wasn't nice to her and I can't wait to continue this series. I did not see the twists coming and I love a surprise!!!
