I copy from a recent review I wrote: The thing I love most about reviewing is finding brand spanking new authors. Finding those new authors who smash it out the park with their first book is just the icing on the cake! This is such a book!
The thing I loved most about this book, was that for a long time, I mean a REALLY long time, I couldn't see how the curse would be broken! It's not until it revealed in the book, that all the clues and bits and pieces slot together to form a solution to the puzzle that was there all along, and I just couldn't see it.
I loved that, very quickly, Teizel realizes that Esme is someone special, someone who could possibly, maybe break this curse, but he dare not hope. He's had his hopes dashed many times, and another time will truly break him. But Esme pushes all his buttons and then some, and slowly, she creeps under his skin.
Some very interesting twists along the way, and I loved that I didn't see a single bloody one!
Both Tei and Esme get a say and I loved that.
One thing, though, that made me spit my dummy out, throw my toys out the pram and almost, ALMOST throw my kindle in the swimming pool in Malta where I was reading.
It ends in a bit of a cliff hanger and I did NOT see that coming either!
All in all, Ms Laurenti, I'd say, that was a job well done and please, PLEASE hurry with the next book!!
5 full and shiny stars but honestly? I can't recommend this book highly enough!

Merissa (14050 KP) rated Immortal (The Awakening Series #2) in Books

Immortal is the second book in The Awakening Series and continues exactly where Reborn finished. You find out that Kyle and Selene were actually together WAY before Jace and Selene were. So how does Kyle fit into the scenario? I was fully prepared to dislike Kyle, after all, Jace and Selene were the ones that needed to be together, right? The trouble is I couldn't actually dislike him. You will have to read the book yourself to understand why but trust me, he's not a straightforward "villain".
There are quiet times when Selene (and you) find pieces out of the puzzle and there are also times of action, fighting and battles. Then there are the emotional times that you become invested in.
This story continues to be intriguing and complex with plot twists and turns that keep you on your toes. It was completely un-put-down-able and I loved every moment. Even though this book deals with tropes that I usually find irritating, the way Immortal has been written makes it a pleasure to read. Highly recommended to all fans of Young Adult, Contemporary Paranormal.

Jul 30, 2022 (Updated Jul 30, 2022)
Yes, there is a reason that this castle (and a Scottish castle at that) is in the middle of Connecticut. That adds a fun layer to this mystery, but it does require a bit of set up at the beginning. Between that and meeting the victim and suspects, we are able to ease into the story. Since we have a locked room puzzle and in addition to figuring out who the killer is, there is plenty to keep us engaged, and the pages flew by until I reached the end. I enjoyed meeting the characters last year, and they were just as charming here. Meanwhile, the suspects were strong. While there actually isn’t much mention of mint chocolate here (a favorite flavor of mine), pumpkin spice proves to be a popular ice cream flavor in the story, and we get a recipe for it in the end. Whether you love ice cream or not, you’ll find this book a delicious sequel that you’ll enjoy.
