Review: Twilight Tides by Samantha Young

Twilight Tides by Samantha Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been so excited for Murray and Londons story and i was not disappointed with this novel! I love the angst and healing that occurred in this book. By both main characters as well as side characters. 

Watching London start to take control of her life after years of abuse and emotional trauma was so inspiring and emotional. I definitely teared up quite a few times during this book! I loved how she got her confidence back and started to trust more and more people. It was a slow healing for her but time means noting when you've experienced this level of abuse.

Murray is such an amazing character and a fantastic dad. He's also going through his own trust issues after what his ex, Jill, has put him through. Im not sure how he had the strength to drop off his daughter, Kelly, with her all those times. 

I loved seeing both Murray and London getting to know each other and realizing how deep their feelings are towards each other. 

I also loved seeing all the characters from Harbor Island get together often and keeping their friendships strong.

So glad I got the chance to read this! As always, I adore Samantha Young's novels and am always excited for more!

Review: The Wren in the Holly Library by K.A. Linde

The Wren in the Holly Library by K.A. Linde
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from Edelweiss. This is my honest review.

I love a book with a library in it. I think it's my weakness haha. So I was very intrigued to dive into this book with a library in the title! And I enjoyed it. There were a lot of twists and turns, secrets and reveals. I called very quickly what Kierse is early in the book so I wasn't surprised by that.

I loved that Grave made Kierse read so many books. I mean he had a reason, but seeing a character thrust books at another and them talking about it? Love. I don't understand why Grave had to keep so many things a secret from her. I mean I do get it, I don't like or agree with it. These two kept so many things from each other and kept themselves so distant from each other I just wanted to scream at them.

I love Kierse's dedication to get friends, her found family. She is so fierce when it comes to them. But I'm also glad they will be more protected because of the reveal at the end. I'm tired of them being collateral damage to Kierse.

I'm very curious to see how this all ends and who Kierse ends up with. I have my team, but it's not a strong feeling yet so I could probably be swayed if needed for now. I'm glad I got the chance to read this story and I'm excited to get the pretty deluxe edition when it releases!

Review: Light Wielder by Rachel Schneider

Light Wielder by Rachel Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My mind is honestly a bit overwhelmed from this book! I know the beginning was long winded but throughout the whole book so much is thrown at us. I honestly need to reread after just finishing to obtain all the details. 

Jovie is a badass. That's the best description I got. She has sacrificed so much throughout her life and she's still making sacrifices every day. She doesn't love a lot of people, but the ones she does, she loves them fiercely. And she's always keeping her thoughts hidden. I bet it's exhausting being her. 

Acker. I seriously love this man. I knew his obsession with Jovie wouldn't keep him away forever. But four years is such a long time!! But the moment they locked eyes? Swoon! His determination is uncanning. What his father made him do? My jaw literally dropped and I gasped. He also sacrificed everything solely for his love for Jovie and I couldn't be happier. 

I am mad though that the BIG battle moment where Jovie used her gift?! I want that scene through her point of view!! We need this as a bonus scene or something because I was WAITING for that moment!!!! 

Messer is the best in this book. His conversation about how much Jovie means to him literally had me tearing up.  

Kai is an ass. Seriously over this dude. 

I'm so glad we got Jovie and Ackers ending! And we didn't get an awful ending like book 1. Im pretty sure I've guessed correctly on what's coming next and I'm so excited for that adventure!

Review: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider

Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had blown me away with the amount of twists and turns and secrets and deceiving and just all around shock that comes out of nowhere. I have 1,000 questions with no answers and I have been thinking about the surprises all day wondering how I missed everything!

Brynne...Jovie? I'm calling her Jovie. She's extremely determined, a fighter, smart and so much more. Seeing her get shunned over and over again was hard to see because deep down everyone wants to be accepted. But she didn't let anyone see how she felt and kept making sure she was going toward her goal.

Acker is an enigma. I was drawn to him right away. There are so many personalities to him, but under all of it i can tell he's just a man wanting to find his happily ever after.

That ending? THAT ENDING?! I literally sat there staying at the book wondering what on earth happened because I didn't see any of it at all. So many things got revealed and I felt like I was short circuiting. It was so much all at once with no warning and I feel a reread happening in my future. I'm so sad book 2 is so far away!

I honestly didn't expect to love this book as much as I did. I'm not sure love is the right word, but I'm obsessed to find out more and will be impatiently waiting until I can hopefully get some answers!

Review: A Pack for Summer by Eliana Lee (Cozyverse)

A Pack for Summer by Eliana Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ahh the last book! I loved seeing all 4 omegas get their happily ever after... because of Felix! Who is my favorite out of all characters! 

Summer is a really strong omega who is determined to get her dreams achieved. I loved seeing this confidence and drive in her because she kicks butt!

As always i have a favorite of the pack men. Out of Jae, Lucien and Mercer, I'd probably pick Mercer. Though Jae is a close second with their backstory. But the brooding grumpy type wins out once again. 

I liked how different this story was from the others and that there was a unique spin to it. I'm glad I was able to binge read all of these books at the same time because seeing the girls friendship grow throughout the books was priceless!

Review: A Pack for Spring by Emilia Emerson (Cozyverse)

A Pack for Spring by Emilia Emerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed diving into Lucy, Wilder, King and Leos story! Lucy is always viewed as so bubbly, but she definitely has a lot of self doubt and anxiety due to her exs, which is so sad. I'm glad she finally got her confidence back once her pack finally got their act together.

Wilder is my favorite. He's so grumpy any gruff and seeing him melt for Lucy was so sweet. King is so full of himself but also not at the same time. And Leo is so focused on being strong and taking care of his omega that he doesn't see what she really needs at the beginning. But thankfully they all get their priorities figured out to see they don't need to change to make each other happy. 

And over again, my ACTUAL favorite is Felix! The tree scene? I cackled so hard. This cat is so sneaky and sly and smart and I'm excited to see what shenanigans he comes up with for Summer!

A Pack for Winter by Eliana Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I surprisingly flew through this story. I loved seeing Ivy, Logan, Rome and James find their way to courting and growing their pack. Ivy is such a people pleaser and can't say no to anyone. When she finally does say no, I cheered out loud because I was so proud of her for standing up for herself! 

Logan is definitely my favorite of the guys. He's so unsure but protective and attentive. Seeing him open up more with the pack was also a good moment throughout the book. Rome and James have a great relationship together and I love that they opened their hearts for more to get their official pack complete. I also adore how James wasn't blinded by alpha pheromones and could calmly make sure everything was okay for everyone during heated moments. 

I enjoyed this story and looking forward to the next!
