R15: SS Team 6 - Series-Us Readers

Ok. Next roll, let's hope for a 3. I've read #8 in the North Bay Series previously, I'm reading #7 for this week and looking for an excuse to read #3 again. Although #6 would be good too,

Review: I really loved this story about Joel and Kasey. I could see the hurt falling in waves off of Joel in the previous books and it made me want to hug him (even though he wouldn't want it). This book was a wonderful recap and continuation and I can't wait to see what happens with Beau and Dean.

Review

This was a fast paced espionage thriller. A young M16 agent Harriet is sent to Thailand to seek the assistance of Rick to get a flash ( drive back to the UK. This is quite far into the series which definitely lends itself to being read in order, lots of references to previous books. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable read with a plethora of characters that made it a page turner. Off to read #1

Review: This book was so good! It really captured the feeling of watching early 00s rom coms like 10 Things I Hate About You or She's the Man which is a feeling I adore so I would definitely recommend this if you like those kinds of movies. I loved the main couple together and really liked how natural the progression of their relationship went from adversary to starting to realize maybe they actually do get along to realizing they liked each other. Each character also had their own journey that they went on that I think was well done for both of them and really enhanced them falling for each other as well. The author also mixed nerd culture with sports really well in this novel, as someone who is into both I really enjoyed the intersection of my interests there

Review: This is the 7th and final book of the series. Savannah finally gets sees justice after everything her father put her through growing up and Damien is there to help her every step of the way. I know she felt like she wasn’t strong or anything but after everything that she has to survive and then get up on the stand to testify makes her so strong and brave beyond measure. I was happy to see Savannah and Damien work through all of their problems together and finally get their happily ever after

Review: I thought I'd give this a shot since it's locally published, but it was a very cringe-y and cliched YA romance. ML is your typical rich, dark, handsome, and brooding love interest with asshole behavior syndrome, who goes out of his way to make the MC's life miserable. Meanwhile, MC keeps getting baited by his asshole behavior. I read this with brain turned off.

So unfortunately with Namita's review missing, you can't roll this week. Which is especially unfortunate as it's very likely the last week, with Team 7 having rolled past 100. :(

[Eunice]

Welp, we weren't going to win anyways. I guess this is the end. Thanks, everyone! I had fun playing this challenge with yall :)

[Namita]

I’m sorry team. I was away for work and didn’t get time to post my review.
