Review:
I love Cosmo and I am rooting for him. I have read each book in the series and let me say I still have not warmed up to John. I hate him with a passion. I want Cosmo to turn him into a frog. Other than that it is a cute book and a wonderful mystery only Josh can write. I love her writing.

Emilienne (petitnez) | 313 comments I'm reading Risky Behavior by L.A. Witt for task 10!


message 527: by Gustaf (new)

Gustaf | 1936 comments Completion post - task 10
Book: Scorch
Author: H.J. Welch
Pages: 274/GR
How it fits: http://www.helenjuliet.com/about
Date finished: 2020/10/05
Rating/Review: 1 star

So, let me start with saying that I'm usually a HUGE fan of H.J. Welch. I love her work and her as a person. I mean she's almost as much of a Eurovision Song Contest super fan as I am. With that said...

This book was utterly ridiculous. It's drama, drama, drama... a little romance... drama, drama, drama.. a little romance. And then the same thing. Over and over and over and over again. And over and over and over again once more. If I hadn't read this for multiply reading challenges I would've DNFed this book at 20 percent the latest.

Blake and Elion were somehow a great couple. Both had flaws I didn't really care for much though and it was hard to like them. The whole tv-show and the way Blake's parents and the side characters associated to the tv-show was way over the top and ridiculous.

Anyway, I finished it so cheers for that.

Trip  (shardsofromance) | 2210 comments Oh wow... That sounds frustrating as heck, congrats to you for finishing it! Hopefully next book you read is incredible πŸ’•

Trip  (shardsofromance) | 2210 comments No problem Emilienne!

I know how you feel, im the same with interviews and most things usually i wait till find out to be excited. As don't want to get expectations high just to be disappointed... Ive done way too many interviews over the last few years πŸ˜‚
