[Rebirth] by[Debbie Brown] began with a quick pace that made it difficult for me to put down. The characters were authentic and you fell right in with their plight. The statement that was made about the youth being our hope could not have rung more true.

I would have liked to see more development and I am hoping she continues this story line. It had the potential to be wide read YA fiction given the current climate of the genre.

I have to try and find a paper version of this so I may add it to my classroom library.

3.75 rating. You could just tell this was a Wattpad book from the start. Wasn't aweful but wasn't the greatest. I really hate when people say that they didn't like Tessa's character. When you read it on paper yeah you are pissed that she keeps running back to Hardin but at the same time there are millions of couples who do this same shit....well not the betting part but the emotional entanglement. So with that aside and as someone who has been in that situation, this book is actually decently done and it's great that this author got published.

Let me start off by saying the world building in this is just phenomenal. The moon, steel, and paper castes are so well thought out that. you can picture the different demons throughout and find yourself immursed in a new kingdom.
The romance was wonderful and not at all what you are expecting. It made you want to squeal and fight for love. Fight for what you want.
This was in no way what I was expecting but I really enjoyed the story. It dragged you into the middle and kept you on the edge of your seat.

Wide variety of items at great prices
Dash buttons
Great service
Convenient
I love Amazon, especially as a Prime member! It is so nice to find a product I want and get it shipped without an additional cost. I initially thought Dash Buttons were a stupid idea, but my husband got one for toilet paper and laundry pods. It is so convenient to just stick them in a closet the hit the button when I realise we're running really low. I could go to the store down the road but the prices on Amazon are cheaper and for larger quantities.

While I very much enjoyed the first story, Sleepy Hollow, I was not as big a fan of the other five stories. I was expecting major creep factor, especially since Sleepy Hollow is so often turned into Halloween films, but it just wasn't there.

I think I am just not a big fan of Irving's writing style.

Rock Paper Books did an excellent job putting the stories together, though. The cover art was stunning and I am so glad I got this as part of my August 2017 Owlcrate.

All in all, it wasn't horrible, just not my cup of tea.
