Took me 2 weeks to finish a book I could read in a couple of hours. The story dragged on and on and on...and it was quite boring. Nothing really happens in this whole 300+ page book. The FMC and MMC barely know each other and barely interact and they somehow have this deep, Godly love? Not to mention the FMC is so boring and damsel-in-distress that I don't really know how the MMC finds her so wonderful. And the nickname he suddenly comes up with and only uses twice is so
I really had no idea that the book would go the way it did, but WOW. I did not expect anything that happened in this book.
Just found it kind of boring. The promise of more was there but it just wasn't it for me.
Elin Hilderbrand has been a favorite author of mine since high school. This was a good read because I enjoyed the mystery and the layout of the plot. I did not give five stars because I felt like the character development was a little lacking, but I can acknowledge that is hard to do with so many main characters.
I really loved reading this series but sadly this final book felt like a let down. It wasn’t as exciting or interesting as any of the books before it. Sadly, I was disappointed…
At first I was unsure if I liked the book, I really had no idea what was in store for me. The entire time I just felt like everyone was lying. Which is why the ending completely threw me for a loop. Wow. Just wow.
It was good, okay. However, I felt very stupid reading it because wow some of the ideas were way over my head despite my degrees. Anyway, I really enjoyed it and liked half the characters but in a good way. I particularly enjoyed the back and forth love/hate of certain characters and getting to enjoy disliking characters. Normally it feels like we readers are supposed to love all the main characters, so this was a refreshing take to me. Can't wait to read the next book!
Books never do this to me but I am emotionally wrecked after reading this book. It is beautiful, deep, and full of realness. The story was nothing like I expected, it was so much more.
Chilling. Dark. Eerie. I swear the hairs on the back of my neck were up right from the beginning.
I wanted to like this more because I loved Sibby in Haunting/Hunting Adeline. However, I do wish we had gotten more of her backstory and her victories over evil because it felt more like just reading strictly porn (some of the scenarios did not feel possible given the henchmen's quantity and physical descriptions). I love HD Carlton and will read literally anything she writes, but this one just happens to be my least favorite.
Wow. I mean I could not put this book down once I got into it. There were so many unexpected twists and turns. Every time I thought I had something figured out, it veered the opposite way. An emotional rollercoaster and beautifully written. A must read!
HD Carlton is always a favorite of mine. I LOVE that we are given strong female leads. These women have their flaws and own them. And the men are always swoon worth and hot as hell. I'd give this 5 stars for the dirty talk alone.
Haunting. Well-written book told over the course of minutes that stretch into a small eternity.
Listen. I like this author. I've read several of K. Hannah's books and enjoyed them immensely. This book just was not great. The writing was fine but it felt as though not enough research was done and the story felt wildly inaccurate. The timeline seemed to jump around a lot. Like stealing a bike in waist deep snow and riding it? Improbable. The Nazis not being able to track you down from the bike tracks? Also improbable.
4.5 stars - the book was so easy to devour but she drops this huge twist on us at the end and I felt it seemed underdeveloped and the FMC didn't explore it enough to seal this story up

Very good story. I enjoy Melanie Harlow's novels and this one was no exception. Well-written with a strong plot line. As always, I love a good twist where the ex shows up and wants her back and whines about how he made a mistake. Yes, sir, you did. And Lucas is to. die. for.
