slow-paced

This one was hard for me. I probably should have DNF it. I didn’t find it scary at all and honestly the first half of the book had me lost and kinda bored. The 2nd half was better but still just a hit for me.

I absolutely loved the premise of this book. It was a great YA horror novel, with an atmospheric setting and an intriguing story line. A perfect quick, spooky read. Steven Dos Santos is an auto-read author for me!

There wasn’t a single dull moment in this book, at least not for me. I really connected with each main character and understood where they were coming from. The writing was so well-crafted and thoughtful. It's amazing that this is the author's debut novel.

Most Ardently was a charming retelling of Pride and Prejudice. It was such an endearing read, and the writing was both easy to follow and beautifully done.
funny informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

I found this both funny and engaging, and it was interesting to learn about his life, as I didn’t know much about him. I especially loved that he narrated his own story in the audiobook.
