I loved it, but it wasn't enough! 😭
I'm more than ready to see what happens between Nesta and Cassian - even if it's just one book. And I pray for a continuation on Mor's story, as well as: Elain, Lucien, Azriel... This book has made me even more impatient to learn what comes next from my favorite people.

Along Came a Spider was slow going. There were moments I literally couldn't put the book down and there were times when I could barely keep my eyes open. Thankfully they came in sporadic bursts, so I wasn't bored for so long I put the book down permanently. It's not one of my favorites by James, honestly.

3.5 stars, mainly because I missed Jase for a lot of this book and having to read about Dornan and his special brand of retribution *gips* wasn't pretty.
I am so intrigued by what will happen next with Jase and Julz, though, that I'm going to read book 6 as soon as I finish writing this review

I'm kinda obsessed with this series right now. The cliff hanger endings are driving me a little mad, admittedly, but i am going straight over to Amazon to buy book 3 and probably book 4 too while im at it because i need Zoey and Ryker to get together, with Sprig of course, and be all happy and together.

Louise Weez Freeman (658 KP) rated What Lies Between Us in Books
May 23, 2020
This book has so much going on with a few amount of characters. Mainly centres round mother and daughter relationship and the lies they create between them and the dealy consequences of that. I really enjoyed reading the second half of the book, took awhile for me to get gripped but I definitely glad I read till the end
Kimmic (814 KP) rated Twisted Heart (Dark Angel, #2) in Books

majorly disappointed. this is a complete mirror of the first book! no character development.
the italics are drawn out, boring and unnecessary. I skipped them most of the time.
an all round disappointment and a struggle to finish.
I will give book 3 a chance but if its no diff then I will not return to this author again

Heather Cranmer (2721 KP) rated Second Verse in Books
Jun 7, 2018
(This review can be found on my blog <a href="http://themisadventuresofatwentysomething.blogspot.com/">The (Mis)Adventures of a Twenty-Something Year Old Girl</a>).
I first saw this book on Goodreads, and I knew I had to have it when I read the word "haunted" in the book synopsis. I'm so happy I had a chance to read this book because it was awesome!
I think the blurb is fantastically written! It definitely made me want to read the book, and I like how it doesn't even mention the tiniest spoiler which I love.
I'm not a big fan of the title simply because it make me think of a book about someone's struggle with music. It doesn't really give off the whole ghostly mystery book vibe.
I also don't really care for the cover simply because based on just the cover, it never made me want to pick up the book to read it. I would've liked to have had a creepier looking cover for this book even if the cover photo is, what I think, supposed to be the picture Lange drew.
I did enjoy the world building very much. I felt that the world of Second Verse definitely had solid building. I was experiencing everything that Lange was, or at least, it felt that way. As for the setting, I was a bit confused at the very beginning about the type of school they were in. It was mentioned they had a creative period and there was talk about music, but it never really talked about them being in a music school. Perhaps it was implied, and I just couldn't work it out at the beginning or maybe I just read about it and forgot.
The pacing was only slow for about the first 5 or so pages. After that, the pacing picks up and holds your attention for the rest of the book only letting you go once the book comes to an end. I was super enthralled throughout the entire book (with the exception of the first few pages).
I really enjoyed the plot! There is a major element in this plot that I won't talk about due to spoilers, but it wasn't mentioned in the book's blurb. I would've never guessed it was a book on that theme. Trust me, I'd elaborate if I could, but I don't want to spoil it for those that may wish to read this book. There is a plot twist that I never saw coming, and the ending was just wow! I will say that the ending does leave this book open for a sequel.
The characters felt very real. I enjoyed the character of Lange. It was interesting to see how she reacted to everything around her. I felt as if I probably would've made the same choices if I was in her shoes. Vaughn is also a likable character, and I loved how he was always trying to make Lange feel safe. They were such a cute couple! Even though Ginny wasn't an actual character, it was still interesting to read about her and her love for her beau.
The dialogue flowed very smoothly, and the character interactions felt real. The language used works for this book and its genre.
Overall, Second Verse is a fantastic read that incorporates a bit of mystery, paranormal, and romance. It definitely held my attention, and I was sad when I had come to the end of the book because I didn't want it to end.
I'd recommend this book to those aged 14+ who enjoy paranormal, mystery, and romance books and those who love great plot twists.
