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

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!

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

A Pack for Autumn by Emilia Emerson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I've been waiting to read this series until all 4 were released so I decided to dive in now. I thought this was a good book. There are some pretty heavy topics in this book so definitely read the trigger warnings first. Olive is going through a lot of grief and past trauma from prior alphas, so her self-esteem and social skills are nonexistent. Seeing her open up and become the omega she deserves to be was great to see. 

Out of the 3 alphas (Lars, Easton & Finn), I definitely liked Lars the best even though we don't get a lot of story with him. Easton is way too much golden retriever puppy dog and Finn is still going through his own grief for me to connect with. But all 4 of them make a great team once they finally start to communicate with one another. 

Actually, my FAVORITE character is Felix. He's so conniving but so sweet to be with Olive at the beginning. 

Intrigued to see how the rest of the series goes!

Review: The Winged Game by Sophie Kim

The Winged Game by Sophie Kim
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I was very intrigued by this sports Romantasy novel since I'm very much into both subjects and thought combining them would be amazing. But sadly this book fell short for me. I think it had a lot to do with the world building and how the reader is just thrusted into this world with all of these tetms that I was unfamiliar with. There wasn't enough description to help me visualize what I needed to really comprehend the scene. 

Plus the characters were blah for me. Especially Taissa. She had too much inner dialoge that went on tangents and I found i forgot what the initial thought was about. Kion was a grumpy, soul tortured guy which usually is right up my alley, but for some reason I just couldn't care that much about him. 

The one i loved the most in this book? Cronus. I cracked up so much when he was in scene imparting his wisdom lol. 

Glad I read this but sad i didn't love it more.

Review: The Final Score by Lana Ferguson

The Final Score by Lana Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So glad I got to dive into Jack and Abby's story! These two are definitely opposites when we first meet them but once we get to know the real them, there are a lot of similarities of what they have or are going through. 

Jack is so protective of the people and things he loves. Makes him look like a giant teddy bear. And he didn't respond well to threats that break up his bubble. Abby is going through a lot of turmoil following her father's departure and is using her grad class subject as a way to cope. But once these two are in each other's orbits, heading and feelings start to happen. 

I loved seeing these two work through their fears and see them grow individually and independently. So glad I devoured their story!

Review: The Escape Game by Marissa Meyer & Tamara Moss

The Escape Game by Marissa Meyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thought this was a fun, unique story that i haven't really read before. I liked the escape room adventures even though I knew nothing about what they were talking about. I think their passion and knowledge really just stood out to me during each game and how the 4 characters found their connection and worked as a team. 

Sierra was probably my favorite character because she's so surly and serious, but also not either of those on the inside. Beck was so excitable and passionate about escape rooms, you can't help but love him. Carter is so young and has very little social skills that make her just awkward enough to like her but feel sorry for her. And Adi cracks me up. He is trying to be so distant from the group and keeps to himself but you get a cipher in front of him and you can't shut him up. 

These four really grew on me and I loved by the last room they were flawlessly working together.

The murder mystery of Alicia honestly kept me on my toes. I didn't see the killer coming until it was revealed to me. I had many guesses but none that were correct sadly. I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for the next installment because I'd love to see what else is in store for these 4!

Review: Frozen Heart by Neva Altaj

Frozen Heart by Neva Altaj
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Even though it's been awhile since I've been in this world, I'm glad it's a standalone so I didn't have to remember details from past couples. Though a lot of those characters show up in this book, it was more is appearances than actually plot purposes. 

I really liked Iris. She is so sweet and kind and one would think she wouldn't be involved in the Mafia world in any way. She doesn't let bad things bring her mood down and she's a fighter. 

Adriano is Iris's complete opposite in every way. I loved seeing his confusion on his fascination with her and how his personality changed over the course of time. 

This book is significantly longer than the other books in the series. We got to get to know both characters before they officially merged storylines. I also liked that it was through both points of views. I think it was a bit too much lead up but overall i enjoyed this story!

Review: The Mating Game by Lana Ferguson

The Mating Game by Lana Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lana Ferguson is an author i love so I'm glad I finally got around to reading this book that took me forever to get to!

I love a shifter book and I liked how different this story was compared to others. Tess is going through a lot of scary changes and I liked that she was worth Hunter who explained things calmly to her and helped her through things she never heard of. I also love that she's in charge of her sibling run construction company and how awesome she is!

Hunter is so grumpy and old school and such a different vibe from Tess that they make absolute sense to be together! I am sad that he's been carrying around so much guilt for this long and I'm glad Tess got him out of that hole he buried himself in so he can finally live his life to the fullest.

I can already guess who the 3rd book is about and I'm excited to see how that story will unfold!
