This book was really intresting and reminded me so much of divergent in a good way. I haven’t read a dystopian book in a while and I really lied this one. It felt like it moved so quickly and a lot was going on, but it made the plot so gripping and exciting.
I will admit I listened to the audio book, which made the crossed out portions so confusing for me in the beginning until I got to chapter 4, and that’s when I realized it.
Juliette’s story is so fascinating and I want to know how what happened in the next books because I’ve heard savour this Warner guy, but am confused on why after how he acted in the first book. I will be stating the next one soon…

This was one of the strangest books I’ve ever read and I still don’t know how I feel about it. The writing felt more like an inner monologue which can be good, but at times makes it feel redundant or choppy. Overall it was a very intresting concept, and I’m curious where the story will go but I am not sure when I will be picking the series back up.
The way it framed Sadie's story has me curious what is going to happen in the second book, but I am not sure when I will be able to read that one. With Sadie being the first ever woman Alpha, it raised many intresting points, but there were also some moments when I wanted to punch her for kind of being the most annoying person ever.
It comes from how terribly she was treated and raised, but it comes off as pick me and obnoxious. She didn't trust anyone, rightfully so, and isn't given many chances to trust anyone she is with either. I did like how she grew and I'm curious what all the lies are that are talked about and hope they will be revealed soon. I feel like there were some plot holes with the fae queen that raised more questions than answers, but I hope it goes into more detail in the next one.

I absolutely love Ali Hazelwood, I simply wish there was more of this book because I needed more of this story! I loved that the whole story took place at their work retreat with the addition of flashbacks for background. The idea that the whole story was a week made it so fun and fast paced.
I loved that it was a hardcore miscommunication trope as well as Jesse was so respectful about Viola’s boundaries and kept to himself. Once they were finally forced to hang out together I was so happy on the turn of events and loved the growth they both had.
Overall it was such a cute story and I loved it so much!

I had never read a Freida McFadden book, but had only heard good things and with the movie recently coming out I have been wanting to read this. I honestly read it so fast I was impressed with myself.
The twists and turns made it so interesting, and while in my opinion it wasn’t a crazy plot twist, I also wasn’t entirely expecting it. I loved the change in vibe from part 1 to part 2, and hearing Nina’s point of view made it very interesting.
Was hooked since the beginning, but at part 3 I really coudlnt put it down. A lot of small pieces came into place and I really enjoyed how it all came together in the end. I will try reading the other two books in the series as I am curious how this story can continue, an I will be watching the movie because I really liked it.
Overall good read, I’m not the biggest into thrillers and mysteries but I liked this one a lot.

This was a cute novella, and I didn’t know what to expect but it was adorable. I’d never really read an OmegaVerse book, but after learning that this fit in that category it kinda made sense.
This felt like an Ali Hazelwood book with a touch of dark romance and I kinda loved it. I am a sucker for her writing and even though I was confused for the first couple chapters, it really came together in the end.
Gabriel was the epitome of morally grey, but when he finally was able to get Sofia it was very much a “touch her a die” situation to which I became obsessed. One of the first interactions with the in the book was simply “who gave you this black eye” … like cmon who wouldn’t swoon at that…
Loved this book so much, and glad to check off another of Ali’s books!!!

These short stories were so cute I was literally so obsessed. I love stand alone series where they interconnect slightly, and having all three novellas in the same book made them so cute and fun to read back to back to back.
Mara and Liam’s story was so cute and I love a little enemies to lovers banter. Having two people forced to live together in opposite job fields too just escalated the rilvary and made it so fun.
Eric and Sadie’s story was absolutely adorable. As a superstitious queen myself, I really related to her. Something about this man’s yearning for her was so cute and he was just so blunt and obvious I couldn’t get enough.
Hannah and Ian’s story as just WOW! First off talk about a hook, because that first chapter really had me wanting to read it so fast to learn what happened. Something about a time jump too really adds to the drama and you’re telling me it’s been 5 whole years and it’s only 10 chapters… I love it so much!!
I also absolutely loved all the stories with the flash backs and forwards and I felt it really added to the suspense of the story. I want more from these stories and I’m so sad that they are over.
