The beautiful cover and blurb caught my interest from the get-go and I immediately grab it. The beginning chapters were funny, wellpaced and showcased the blossoming friendship between Daniel and Zahara . As the story progress and additional characters were added, my interest in the read started to diminish. It wasn't bad enough to drop and I'm not gonna lie I did end up skimming through a few pages/chapters at the 3/4 mark and overall can understand why some readers were be drawn to this type of story. Sadly enough it just wasn't for me but I will notate that I will definitely keep the author on my radar for future releases.

I liked the idea of this novel and saw great potential but unfortunately it felt somewhat flat. It would have been better if there was actually built up in creating the relationship Tanner and Duke because there was definitely chemistry there instead of the wham, bam thank you madam type of romance. Everything was rushed and the obviously the leads emotions flared up quick. Generally speaking this was a mediocre read with not much excitement.

Holy shit. What a debut. I practically live, breathe, slept with this novel in my hands after being thrown in this whimsical world created by no other than Kat Bostick. From the get-go I was immediately enthralled by the witches, werewolves and supernatural elements that the author was able to bring to life with her impressive writing style that did a phenomenal job showcasing the lead characters Mari and Jasper inner turmoil and struggles, journey in reversing the witch’s curse and finding a place to call home. Moreso I’m surprised by how much I liked the relatable characters, especially the lead heroine who struggled with her own insecurities and constant back-and-forth with our daring wolf in which case I would have normally defer from but due to the nature of her unnatural or more like supernatural circumstances, I probably would have reacted the same way. And speaking of Mari and Jasper, I was smitten by their heartwarming connection and the bubbling romance that sweep me off my feet. The steady paced relationship between them built overtime and as a reader, it became more than difficult not to become invested in their relationship and hoping nothing but the best for them. So you’re now wondering if I’ll recommend this novel? Hell to the yeah! This is the perfect debut novel to read for this upcoming fall season and would highly recommend “Hunter’s Moon” of those who are ready to dive into a world filled with spellbinding witches and cursed werewolves. Needless to say, if this the direction the author plans on taking for the majority of her future releases, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

Why did I pick this up knowing damn well I wasn't going to find much to like about it. I'm nothing but a damn masochist I tell you! Nevertheless there's not much to say about this. This instant love, mediocre romance, dull characters and most definitely forgettable read didn't hit any good spots. At all. I have pretty much ended up skimming… a lot so it's easy to see that this just wasn't for me.

I was practically gagging with how mushy this romance was and it made me feel gross at times, not gonna lie but I needed another fix of romance and this was a good appetizer. "Catching Him" was cute but a whole lot of nothing was going on until we hit the 80% where a mild conflict ensues (obviously not major) alongside the cringeworthy instant love they had going on. Not like I minded it much with this novel because I kind of expected it when going through the reviews but it would have made it a bit more interesting with this fluff of a romance if there was some sort of real relationship drama thrown into the mix. Nevertheless it was instant love feel good romance.

It was a fast paced, well written novel that nearly blew me away and it was an impressive introductory to this author for me. Despite being a 300+ page novel, it felt so much shorter than it actually was and I was pleasantly surprised I was able to finish this in one sitting. The plot, character development, the author's ability to betray autism in a realistic light and how the novel concluded won me over. Needless to say I will be keeping a close eye on what the author comes out with next.

What had possessed me to pick up this second chance romance, I used that term loosely, I don't have a clue. It was a fast paced romance that left me feeling nothing. Nothing people, nothing. A barely there plot, boring characters and lackluster romance is was I left with at the end and needless to say, it was mediocre at best. And that's pushing it. Overall, I was left with a forgetful read that'll be long and forgotten before you know it.

I was pretty much a crackhead addicted to this read at first. It was hard to put down, don't you dare do it type of read with endless sleepless nights spent living with no regrets book until I was half way through the read and the momentum started to plummet downwards. Fast. And the plummet started happening due to my utter dislike for the heroine Alice. Talk about a dumb broad. She was careless with her actions despite being warned time and time again everyone and their mother the pain she could affleck to others yet did she listen? Noooooo! This dumb dumb decided to do the complete opposite. And should we talk about her childish behavior? Nope. Not gonna go there. I just can't fandom how I couldn't find any redeeming qualities about our leading lady. With her as the shitty ass heroine I have to thank the big guy upstairs for blessing me with Crowley's presence. He was the only thing keeping me strong. Bless his heart. And on that note, let's talk about the romance. Like why? I honestly saw no point including the half-ass romance in the story since their 'feelings' only appeared towards the end of the novel, waaaaaaay before the final throughout the span of what… 2-3 pages? Then it went MIA. Like how are you going to ghost us like that yo? And why waste everyone's time building up the possible relationship momentum if nothing is going to actually happen? At all. It was beyond lackluster and that only lowered the rating score. This had so much potential and I had such high hopes for this read yet once hitting that halfway point, it quickly diminish to pile of blah. This would've had turned out better if they cut out the heroine (kill her off would have been better to be honest) and just made this a YA fantasy instead further exploring characters and their stories of being an aviarist.

It was cute. What more could I say? It didn't 'wow' me like I had originally expected it to considering the lead heroine being handicapped and the hero pretty much bringing the romance into the whole friends turned lovers trope. Additional to that, there wasn't much drama in the read to really captivate me into the storyline and wanting to know more about the characters. Overall, average read with little to no excitement.

"Resurrection Girls" is a heartbreaking tale about a family grieving the loss of their son and brother, and what led them to spiral out of control. The author was able to write the realism of death and what transpires after the fact, and that left me wanting more. To be honest I think I would've enjoyed the novel more if it was primarily focused on Olivia and and Kara (as a minor character obviously because she did irk me more times than I could count) story, and Prescott out of the equation. Otherwise a worthwhile read.

I'm left speechless with this read. And not in a good way. There were too many scenes, moments, hell even interactions that made me feel extremely uncomfortable and I was barely able to complete this read. The vulgarness of the Elite Kings were almost too much to bare and the weak heroine, who I loved in the beginning chapters, helped dwindle down my overall reading experience.

McKellar Character(s): ― Claire Roberts: Black, Green Eyed ― Hamish Christianson: Blue Eyed Setting: ― Tag(s): Romance, Contemporary Content Rating: R POV: Alternates between Heroine/Hero Smexy Level: Warm Favorite Quote(s): ― "There’s so much sexual tension between the two of you, the rest of us go home and have cold showers." ― "I want to be with you, Claire. This is me, putting my cards on the table. I’m not all nice. I’m not all perfect. But if you’ll let me, I’ll be all yours." Overall Opinion: Short and sweet. That probably much sums up this instant love romance between enemies turned lovers work colleagues who duels it out to win a huge work promotion. Things escalated pretty quickly and far too much drama happened between the span of seventy pages that I didn't care much about about the characters nor story. This novel would be ideal for anyone looking for something fast and easy.

Should've concluded around 300 pages instead of 500 since the end results would've been the same. There wasn't anything in particular that stood out with this read. The typical millionaire marrying the down in the dumps girl struggling to make ends meet before they strike a deal that benefits both parties if they married which is a typical trope that has been used and recycled too many times to count. So to speak, it you read them once, you've read them all and to be completely honest I was surprised to see all the high rated reviews this has received. Don't get me wrong it wasn't completely awful and was an overall decent read but I wouldn't call this a must read, get it while you can 5 star rating.

Another rinse and repeat storyline by L.J Shen, shocking! And to sum this novel up, it's a three strikes you're out type of story. Yaaaaas, this is the third book I've attempted to read from the author and it's just a big nope. Nah. I'm good. Ya feel me? Mind you, time and time again I have tried to read the most definitely overhyped asshole and weak heroine, (bully and even abusive relationship, let's be honest) romance novels that everyone's raving about but repetitive content and reused characters aren't my thing. Boo. Where's the refreshing characters and storyline to draw me well hell any reader in?! It gone. Done, gone with the wind. Anyway, that doesn't mean you as a reader should defer from this and I'm merely saying that L.J Shen is just not my type of author I'm looking forward to seeing what she comes up with next anytime soon. Needless to say, unpopular opinion or not, I'm not able to connect with anything she has written and her writing style nor overused and let's be honest reused story concept just ain't my cup of tea. Can't win then all I guess.
