Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Summer of the Moon Flower in Books

Jan 6, 2021

I didn't know when I downloaded this that it was the second book in The de Vargas Family series, if I had I'd have gone out and gotten the first book, Indigo's story, and read it first as I'm sure it would have helped me understand this one a little more.

That being said, it wasn't that hard to understand the storyline but all the flower and chemical talk went over my head. I had no idea what was going on at those bits.

The romance was kinda sweet but at the same time I didn't really understand it. Why would you like the man who kidnapped you?

I also found the writing style a little too formal but considering it's set in the 19th Century I'm sure they would have spoken as formally as it was written but I wasn't a fan.

Kudos

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Lash (Broken Angel, #1) in Books

I've had this on my to-be-read shelf for a long time on Goodreads before I saw it on NetGalley so I kinda jumped at the chance to review it. Maybe I had high expectations or something but I just couldn't really get into it. The writing style was hard for me to gel with and I just found myself getting a bit bored with the storyline.

Then there was the fact that something happened in Naomi's life--something major--and we didn't actually find out about it until after, which confused me a bit as I had no idea what the family was so upset about, and therefore I had no feelings about it.

This just wasn't up my street at all but that doesn't mean it was bad. If you like the sound of it, then try it.
