I had a hate/love relationship with this book. I wasn't a fan of this book as I was reading it, but it made me want to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. It kept me interested, even though I wasn't liking it. But then a funny think happened, I finished the book. I wrote reviews for it, I told other people my thoughts and then I realized that I had secretly loved it the whole time. I had to go back and take back what I had said and change my reviews. I fell in love with this book and would recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants a good, quick read.

Thank you Disney and NetGalley for granting my wish to read this.
First off I need to say that anyone who loves the Evil Queen, snow white, or has read the other stand alone villians book needs to read this one stat. It is so well thought out and gives the reader that much more. The dual stories/views expands not just what we thought we know but what could have been. While I will never feel perfectly happy thoughts for the evil Queen, I mean she is evil. This definitely helped me to want to find out more about the villains in general. Maybe start a fanclub for slightly misunderstood characters.

I love Sloan - I think Oriana is a bit annoying - woe is me until further toward the end where she gets more into herself - guess that's growth as a character which I like anyway.
I love Vanek too - he's my bae - I can't believe I haven't read his book yet and that makes me sad, just a taste of it at the end, wahhh!!!
Max and Dominick are just background noise to me in this book - neither stood out and neither were special to me in any way.
I love hockey books and the story and the end were pretty sweet too. Random thoughts - I adore this series though perhaps I'll go to Vaneks book next!

This is a brilliant, emotional and pretty book
This is a beautiful novel. I found it slow to begin with but it is worth while persisting. The story centres around the inhabitants of the isle of Norday is the North of Scotland in the early 20th century. The protagonist Thorfinn Ragnarson is a bit of a daydreamer and his thoughts and dreams are narrated within the novel. This allows Brown to explore a rich and sentimental Scottish history whilst capturing the beauty and untouched lives of these rural Scottish farmers. Furthermore, the novel explores the effects of the Second World War and its devastation on these simple folks. Lovely.

<b><i>I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.</i></b>
The second book in The Vault of Dreamers starts from the cliffhanger of sorts OBrien left off with, though I personally think The Vault of Dreamers should've been left alone as a stand-alone. This sequel might be a little disorienting at first, as Rosa is in another body and it takes awhile to figure out what was going on.

This was a very quick, easy-to-read story that crossed over a lot of different genres. Not to be taken seriously as the author has mentioned, it's still enjoyabale. I feel like Jade Cooper has a lot of potential with her storytelling; however, there were a lot of grammar errors in the copy I was given. I also saw elements of fanfiction (which isn't surprising given that it features werewolves and vampires with some erotica mixed in.) I would recommend this to mature adults who need a fast novella to get out of a reading slump.
