3.5 stats
Huh. I'm Team Nate all the way so I wasn't really impressed by all the Max time in this book. I don't feel the same chemistry between him and Hanna as I do between her and Nate.
So damn right he turned up at the end! And thank God he isn't dead or I'd be throwing my Kindle across my bedroom right now! He needs to stop being an arse about the new family thing and Hanna needs to tell him about the pregnancy and then they can FINALLY get together because they are perfect for each other.
Already bought book 3, off to start it.

Hmm...this one didnt quite grab me, either, like the first two did. As much as i love Quinn and the last half of this book, the first half with Cora...well, i just wanted to throw my kindle/laptop/phone because it felt so wrong! She was so horrible and Quinn was so lovely.
One thing i do love about this series, though, is how close this gang is. They all rib and tease each other but will stick up for each other in a heartbeat. It's so nice!
I can't wait to read Ten and Caroline's story so I'm off to start it right now :D

4.25 stars
I think Luna's inability to believe that people don't do nice things just to be nice and not because they feel sorry for you/want something in return was very annoying. Yeah, crappy childhood/crappy parents, but it's been a good handful of years! Let it go! There were so many times I mentally screamed at my kindle while reading this. He likes you, stupid!
They got there in the end but God did I cry like a baby for a while. I think it was more frustration than anything though. She was so blind!
I will read all future releases by the author.

Anarchy ( Hove Trilogy 2)
By jaymin Eve and Leia Stone
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Did Charlie Bennett ever tell you that vampires are evil spawn? Well they are!
She's had just about enough of them and when the unthinkable happens, she decides it might just be time to use her blood as a weapon against them.
It's time for a little anarchy.
It was a decent read and we found out a lot more about Charlie. I was a little disappointed in parts and I can’t pinpoint what but something was annoying me about the whole situation. But still a few good reveals ready for book 3.

Midlife Blues (Not Too Late 2)
By Victoria Danann
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Begins with the formerly reclusive, gentleman vampire hosting a murder mystery dinner you'll never forget, and ends with the case of the captured kelpie. From Hallow Hill to northern Ireland, don't miss your favorite judge's magical adventures.
I liked it but it didn’t have the punch the first one had. It was interesting hearing the court trials and meeting so many different creatures. Felt a little rushed to me but I it still made me smile. Worth a read! To be honest who would want this job and to live in this village? My dream!

Awesome App For All of Your Digital Book Needs
Full disclosure: I LOVE BOOKS! Not the digital kind, but tangible books that I can hold in my hand. I cherish that "old book" smell as much as I do turning back the cover on a hardcover for the first time; with the knowledge that another's fingers have yet to turn its pages and become immersed in the story as I'm about to. I will always adore books.
Having said that? I can still fully appreciate the Kindle app for the convenience of reading on the go. Books are, of course, totally portable as well; However, let's say you're on vacation, or at the beach or park, and want to enjoy a book, or pick up where you left off with one that's at home for that matter. With the convenience of the kindle app you can open the app on your phone/tablet/laptop and download the book, or start a new one.
Suitcases have limited capacity, but the vastness of the internet allows you to access nearly any title with just a few clicks/taps. The customization options in Kindle make it even easier to read while on the go because you can adjust brightness, page color (black, white, sepia), text size, font, margins, etc. You don't have to worry about remembering your page number or having a bookmark handy either because the app allows you to bookmark your page. You can read any book anywhere- a novel, research for that history paper you've been procrastinating on, or the steamy new romance you've been waiting on - without having to worry about carrying them around. I don't know about you guys, but sometimes while on a lunch break I wished that I had brought a book with me (particularly if service is slow at a restaurant) so I'd open the Kindle app and find a book to read. My last positive point here is actually both good and bad... You don't have to worry about book lights or keeping the lamp on and annoying your partner if you're reading a book on your phone/tablet, but the flip side to that is there's less strain on your eyes when reading a hard copy book rather than digital.
There are only two downsides to the app and they're more due to my personal preference rather than anything with the app itself... with the prevalence of digital and audio books I've watched many beloved bookstores begin disappearing, or they have downsized to focus on selling digital. The second issue is that unlike with a physical book in hand you can't really tune everything else out (incoming calls and notifications) and lose yourself in whatever you're reading.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Promises (Coda Books, #1) in Books
Sep 6, 2019
I got really into this yesterday and more or less read it in one sitting.
The first half, for me, was 5 star worthy because I was drawn into their story and I think I felt the same things that Jared did in regards to Matt. I wanted them to get together so bad and when something happened to stop it, I wanted to throw my Kindle. Seeing how Matt was determined to be straight while slowly spending more and more time with Jared and touching him in ways that a straight man wouldn't. It was lovely reading.
The second half, for me, was 3 star worthy because when they did finally get together after a lot of arguing, Jared turned into a bit of a hypocrite in regards to other people knowing about them in their little town. It felt like he'd pushed Matt into being with him only to be ashamed of him and it drove me crazy, making me want to chuck my kindle at the wall again.
Luckily, it was quickly resolved and it went back to being a really cute relationship.
I really liked both men but I think Matt was my favourite of the two; I think it was his gentleness with Jared--and the hair obsession--I just thought it was really sweet.
A 4 star review from me and I look forward to reading more books by the author.
