Talk about mystery and suspense!! Two rival families that's been made to hate each other for so long, a love story in the making and an inevitable tragedy. I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable read. Rae and Jack were the true stars of this messed up love affair and I loved every minute of it.

All of the lights is the first book I've read by K. Ryan and it's not going to be the last. It was a book well written with lots of suspense, twists and turns. From the prologue till the epilogue it had piqued my interest and I wanted to devour it in one sitting. I was so impressed that I am still awestruck days later after I've finished this.

This book is so much more than just a romance. There's lies, deceit, betrayal, mystery and control, just to name a few. And while yes, it's a romance book, it's not super duper lovey. I'm fine with this, but I feel like some might not be a huge fan.

So good!!! Modern day Romeo and Juliet in South Boston. Well written, intriguing, and no explicit sex so I can share it with my high school senior students. I think the girls will LOVE this one. Full review to come!

Okay, I've decided to do this review in bullet point form because any other way you would be reading pages and pages! It is THAT good. One of the things that attracted me to this book was the title. It screamed drama and angst and edgy ~~ and then I read the blurb and #SOLD! I mean who doesn't LOVE the forbidden love trope where the forbidden does not come from the usual but from deep down generational family hatred! SIGN ME UP RIGHT NOW!!!

It's been a long time since I've been really engrossed in a book. I went into this book thinking it was the typical enemies to lovers story, but it was so much more than that and I could not put this book down. For me, it wasn't about the romance, but the storytelling and K. Ryan does a great job intertwining the themes of a Romeo and Juliet tragic love story, lies, betrayal, and family. The flashbacks in the story is what broke my heart the most. It was refreshing to read a heroine (Rae) that h

ARC provided for honest review: This was my first book by this author and I would definitely recommend this one. The story takes place in Boston and you don't forget it. I love when you can "hear" a voice when reading and from the "wicked" and "yah," it really made me feel like I was there. (BTW, I'm slightly obsessed with any of the New England states, so this was perfect.) The characters were likeable and believable. I would have liked to see more heat (wink,wink), but since they were star-cro

This is a romantic mystery of the highest order.
There is nothing like a good old inter family feud to get the blood cells pumping, but when one component of each side are suddenly closer than is probably advisable, how will life ever be the same again?
Rae was victim to a brutal attack, one that left her traumatised and her attacker in jail…but is everything as it seems or are there darker forces at play here?

Firstly I would like to thank K.Ryan for giving me the honour of reading and reviewing her new book. Let me just say I loved her previous books and this was no exception, if not I might have loved it a little more lol

I was caught off guard by this book. It is my first K. Ryan novel, but will not be my last.

“For the love of Stefani Germanotta, tell the damn truth” (Ryan). And the truth, I will tell! :) K. Ryan’s newest novel, All of the Lights, is an absolute delight to read. I am intrigued by the Romeo and Juliet parallels because many authors tend to overdo it in a cliche form; however, K. Ryan does no such thing. Her parallels are unique and refreshing, and they kept me on my toes not knowing what would come next. This was compounded by the fact that there are two major story lines of the past a
