Merissa (12363 KP) rated Red Wolf Hunting (Wolves Ever After #2) in Books
Jul 12, 2023
RED WOLF HUNTING is the second book in the Wolves Ever After series. You don't need to have read book one, although the characters are mentioned in passing.
Aileen is prepared to partner with Rory in search of the Golden Shield. Rory wants to destroy it as it could control him and the rest of his wolf-kin. Aileen wants to protect it and hide it from sight, as it is a family relic. Together, they need to retrieve it from those who stole it.
Aileen and Rory didn't quite grab me as much as Sterling and Myra did in Book One, but I still enjoyed their story. What I've found with Amberlyn Holland books is that the story revolves around the main characters getting to know each other - usually through trying times - and leading up to their relationship together, not the relationship itself.
It is Aileen's sister and Rory's partner next up so who knows where their story will take us?
An enjoyable addition to the series and recommended by me.

Laura (40 KP) rated When Dimple Met Rishi in Books
Oct 21, 2017
I adored how cute this book was. The progression of Dimple and Rishi’s relationship as the got to know each other was wonderful. I especially liked how we got to see it from both points of view. This book made me giggle with glee, go all mushy at the cuteness and ultimately really root for the main characters. It’s been a while since a book had me this invested in a romance, especially a stand alone novel. As well as cute, this book was also funny. The humour was strong throughout, which really added to my overall enjoyment.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Suicide Squad (2016) in Movies
Aug 24, 2017
What can I say about Suicide Squad? To be nice, the soundtrack was great and Margot Robbie did a good job with Harley. I cannot understand why the relationship between Joker and Harley is always romanticized, because it's definitely not romantic. The plot was rushed and discombobulated, and they underutilized characters. Why did they killed off Slipknot five minutes after introducing him? Why even waste the time introducing him? I personally can't stand Jared Leto as an actor, but I understood where they were going with the new Joker. But, in comparison to Heath Ledger, he was trash.

Heartbreaking in so many ways
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is probably the most heartbreaking book of the entire series because we see Dimitri in a light that we really wish we didn't need to. We see him through the lense of Rose, so for a while there is still some attraction and romantisizm, but we later recognize the amount of abuse and manipulation this twisted form impacted their relationship.
The best part of the book is meeting the Belikova family. I truly wish that we got more time with them in the series.

Strong yet imperfect protagonist (1 more)
"Beta" style male lead
Set the bar for YA dystopian
Does anything really NEED to be said that hasn't already been said about this series? We see many individual characters with both positive and negative traits. We see we see a relationship built and tested and questioned. We see "villains" who are also victims of a system. We see many negative aspects of our own world amplified to the point where it becomes blatantly obvious in the hopes that we may be able to change them.
Well done Collins.

My Moms’ DIY Gay Wedding
Abertalli just keeps fleshing out this web of relationships she has created, starting with her novel Simon Vs. the Homosapian Agenda. In this installment of the not-a-series series, Molly Peskin-Suso is struggling with the possibility of rejection, her relationship with her twin sister, and planning her moms’ wedding in under three months! It was refreshing to see the event that we are leading up to in a realistic YA novel be a gay wedding and not a prom.
Edit: Also I cried, I haven’t done that in a while.

Human-AI relationship
This book is ****ing epic!
The unique format and the eventful plot are just part of the reasons that make Illuminae an incredible reading.
The struggle of the cold logic of an AI that tries to stay true to its core programming but still finds itself evolving, trying to grasp human nature, even feeling emotions that it cannot completely understand (envy, rage, love, fear) reaches peaks that have something of the lyric typical of literary fiction shelf.
And this is just one of the plot line!
I can't wait to find out what's next.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated The Way We Are (Enigma #11) in Books
Mar 31, 2019
fantastic read
This is a teenage second chance romance read, which will keep you hooked till ten very last page. The author has a fab way of writing so it didn't seem immature. This is an emotional read, so have the tissues at the ready. The characters were really well written and the relationship between them will have you falling in love with them. The story ends on a cliff hanger ending. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended read

Auburn (57 KP) rated The Boyfriend Bid in Books
Apr 10, 2019
This was in no way what I was expecting. The plot followed two people who weren't alike faking a relationship for charity. What starts as a one sided hate fest turns into something more.
I enjoyed the sweet side of the story and the fact that some prejudice the Sarah had seems to disappear the more she realizes not all people are the same. In the beginning I didn't really enjoy the fact she generalized sports players as being dumb.
Overall a sweet read that keeps you smiling throughout.
Thank you for allowing me to read an early copy on NetGalley
