Received an ARC through Netgalley in exchange for a fair review.

This is a cute, heartwarming sapphic romantic story. Well written and developed characters. A bit cheesy at times, but not overdone. The pacing felt off at times as it's not always clear how much time has past.

Overall a fun, enjoyable read, will be checking out more of Melissa Brayden's work.

Received free copy from Netgalley in exchange for a fair review.

This is book 2 in Ali Vali's Waves series, but I went into this without having read the first one, while it didn't lead me to being too confused, I would recommend to start with the first one.

This a unique and intriguing world Vali has created. The sweet romance between Kai and Vivienne is at the heart of this fantasy, and their relationships with their families. For a fantasy it did seem a bit lacking at times, the pacing felt off and it seems to have so much more potential. I will be reading book 1 though as overall it was an enjoyable read and my interest has been piqued to read more about Viv and Kai.
