Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated The Heart's Melody (Black & White Edition) in Books
May 10, 2018
**I received this book free from Story Cartel in exchange for an honest review.**
Noa and Amar meet each other in, "Mutual Advice", a support group for those who have relationship issues. Amar and Noa end up doing sessions together and these sessions lead to a romantic relationship. An relationship that is forbidden from the start as Noa is Jewish and Amar is Muslim.
Chava Epstein writes a romantic story filled with passion. The reason why I didn't give this story more than two stars was because it just didn't make me feel the passion. I'm not sure if some of the story got lost in translation, or if the format I was reading it in, distracted from the deeper meaning, but it was a task for me to finish this book. Throughout telling the love story of Noa and Amar, there are also love letters and paintings and other stories that Noa is writing to tell about her love for Amar. All of these side stories made me lose interest in the rest of what was going on.
On the other hand, I LOVED the artwork that accompanied each chapter in the book.

So I red this book in the "emotional" order (before Queen of Shadows) and I was not disappointed but not exactly for the reason I expected.
I really enjoyed the short stories, each different but with key links between them. I felt that many of the relationships were rushed and in the case of Sam and Caleana it was not believable. There was not enough of the silly cute relationship stuff that goes on, very business like rushed relationship.
However, I now have absolute hatred for Arobynn, I think the other books I'd red by this point hinted that it was him but now, I am definitely seething. I loved that Sarah J Maas was able to invoke that in me. Just a shame that the love relationship missed the mark.
I think reading it in this order does mean that you can see a change in writing style, if this is something that would bother you then I suggest reading it first. Also, there was consistent revisiting of facts through the shorts despite them all being compiled in one book. I see why this was done but it still irked me.

I liked this.
It's my second story by the author, the other being The Huntress which I loved.
I'm not entirely a fan of sci-fi stories but Michelle has this way of weaving a tale that is heavy on the romance while still being very sci-fi/fantasy, and since I read books for the romance aspect most of the time they are right up my street.
I came to like Chase Stryker from early on and Sukeza grew on me the more she protested against his capture. Reading about their evolving relationship was great and I was urging them to stop being stubborn and just get together.
The relationship between Harle and Chase was fun to read about too. I'm used to reading about the relationship between female friends but the friendship between those two had me chuckling at times.
The synopsis didn't give much away with how this story would play out but I really enjoyed the journey over the three main places mentioned in the book and could picture them in my head.
I look forward to reading more books by the author.

Taken ( Second Sight book 3)
By Hazel Hunter
⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶
Psychic readings and personality profiles don't make a relationship - but trust does.
Although psychic Isabelle de Grey and FBI Special Agent Gavin "Mac" MacMillan are most definitely a couple, they hadn't counted on being together 24/7. But when a serial killer known as the Chameleon takes a special interest in Isabelle, Mac refuses to leave her side.
Though deeply in love, their relationship is put to the test when the FBI, against Mac's wishes, asks Isabelle to act as a decoy. Although Isabelle is willing, the plan unwittingly plays into Mac's darkest and secret fear. As their relationship strains to the breaking point and Isabelle's life hangs in the balance, Mac finally understands that every predator must have their prey.
A super quick catch up with Isabelle and Mac as she gets taken by the elusive Chameleon killer. This is a little spicy 12 chapter read. I’m a little disappointed in the anti climax of this killer that has tormented them in the previous 2 books. But it was ok.

Dystopian and lesbian fiction together! I think I may swoon. May Dawney has created the book I always wanted to read. The characters are deep and the plot flows. There is nothing in this book that seems forced or contrived. The relationship develops in steady way. This book is definately on my favorites list!

Addictive sequel to Cain's "Heartsick" -- featuring serial killer Gretchen Lowell, detective Archie Sheridan, and reporter Susan Ward. Picks up shortly after the end of the first novel, with the intersection of a story Ward is pursuing and the ongoing twisted relationship of Archie and Gretchen. As with the first novel, hard to put down...

This book was great. The magic was very realistic which I enjoyed. The plot was intriguing, but the characters were really what kept me going. The relationship between Kell and Lila was very interesting to watch develop. I loved to hate the Dane twins, as well as I loved nearly everything about this book.
