Eleanor & Park
Rainbow Rowell | 2016 | Young Adult (YA)
Okay, this book is just heartbreaking. Absolutely and positively heartbreaking.Eleanor and Parks relationship is just, the only world I can think of to describe it is, adorable. It just has cuteness about it. It didn't end at all how I expected to, but I like that, although I would have liked to have heard more about what happened to her Mom and her siblings in the end, maybe a couple of more chapters. I'm afraid it lost a star for her being a little mean to the cat, I can't help it I'm a little cat crazy.....

Silent suspense
Maddie (Kate Siegel) is a deaf writer, living a “quiet” life in the woods, secluded and alone, trying to heal after the breakdown of her last relationship.

Queue the bad guy played by John Gallagher Jr... and what follows is an 82 minute, interesting game of cat and mouse.

 It’s a fresh take on the standard home invasion/slasher movie genre with the added element of her disability. Expect some great scenes, good acting from the small cast involved and no complicated storyline.

Try to overlook the inconsistencies, the plot holes and occasional predictability.

These boys and girls fall in love quickly, that's one thing I will say, but... *sigh* I might be cheering her on to get with our main guy but that end bit was very sweet and self-sacrificing of the other guy (I'm not good with names until after the 5th volume or so) so I may have melted a little towards him. He deserves a nice girl and she is SUCH a nice girl. It's also obvious our main guy's girlfriend is insecure about their relationship.

Volume 4 will have to wait until later or tomorrow now.

This was really rather dark, which I wasn't expecting. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, actually, I just wanted something a little different to my usual reads of yaoi and shojo. And this certainly was.

It was erotica with sex scenes in every chapter but one chapter was really dark with one of the characters abused bother physically and sexually.

On the other hand there is an almost silver lining with a budding relationship blossoming between our abused character and a young guy who's become fixated with her.

I may have to read the next volume to see what happens next.

Where do I start?

The change in relationship between Xander and Kizzie over the last three books has had me captivated. This one especially. You can tell they both really want the other, but other things such as life and work are keeping them apart.

It's killing me! I really want them to get together!

Other than that, I was drawn into the story, though admittedly at the beginning I had no idea what was happening, but it was all explained as we went from viewpoint to viewpoint of the pivotal characters in the story.

Can't wait for book 4!

The concept of the fates and a magical carnival (0 more)
Heavy romance forced in and detail sacrificedtj (0 more)
Too much pressure on the romance
The first books were wonderful, like a YA night circus. However as the story progressed everything revolved around romamce, some of these 'relationships' were bordering abusive and controlling, but because everyone loves a rouge, we were supposed to forgive it. A great concept, fates trapped in cards, a carnival game that could grant your every desire, kingdoms in peril, but the story should have focused more on the sisters relationship, rather than the romance side.
