This was my favorite book in the series!

This was the most emotional out of all 4 books, & Kaine's story just broke my heart. I love a tortured, brooding hero & that's exactly what Kaine was. I adored Piper as well, she was smart, sweet and a little sassy. I love how their relationship wasn't like a regular one, they literally went “backwards” & it was amazing.

I'll definitely check out more Devney Perry!

Tank and beauty have always kind of been insignificant background characters for me, and I was surprised that they got a story about them. I honestly wasn't really looking forward to reading it.

Well, my ass read this in one sitting because it was so good.

I love how their little love story started. They have an unshakeable bond, their sex scenes were hot, and I now look at them in a completely different light.

I loved this one. Jackson is one of my favorite types of characters & he was amazing. (A bit stupid at times, but amazing nonetheless.) I wasn't sure how I was gonna feel about Willa, but I ended up really enjoying her character. This is my 2nd favorite book in this series, I thought it was going to be my #1 but one of the others beat it out. Only issues I had was that it could get a bit cheesy at times, and I don't really care for certain types of ‘dirty talk' in my novels, but I will definitely continue to read this author.

I just love Darcy Coates. This was probably my favorite book by her so far.

I love her writing because it's good, clean horror. She's descriptive, but not gory.

You know how when you're really into a book & it plays like a movie in your mind? Yeah, her books always capture my attention and do that to me. This book completely creeped me out at a certain point. I was reading it at night, waiting on my husband to get home and I was really jumpy since I was reading this. Something in my attic creaked and I almost shit myself. I LOVE reading horror stories that can do that to me. Once everything got rolling in this book, I was on the edge of my seat the rest of the time.

This book was good for what it was. It is a love story that was raw and unfiltered, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The reason that it got 3 stars from me is for a couple reasons...Firstly, whoever proofread/edited this book probably shouldn't be an editor. The brothers last names change halfway through the book from O'Conner to Lee? There were typos here and there and the book itself kind of left you hanging at the end. I absolutely hate when an author does an epilogue that completely blurts out everything that happened within a certain time frame...and that is exactly what this author did. SPOILERS There was no justice served for Lizzie, the friend that betrayed her. I feel that the brothers would have been more adamant about not sharing her, because in the beginning they all wanted Katie to themselves and I find it hard to believe that they would just be like, “Okay! She wants all of us forever, I'm completely okay with this now!!” Also, the men were written from a woman's perspective. No man ever acts like how these men do. I'm not sure if this was maybe the authors first book but I don't feel like you should be able to know how the book ends within the first couple of chapters.

I'm not trying to bash the author because this book did keep me interested with the steamy scenes and the love story that did happen, if she would have taken her time and developed the story and characters a little more, it would have been phenomenal! Also, the book ends at 21% and there are a few other stories that you could read. I didn't because they didn't appeal to me and I only wanted to read the one that I bought.

4-Stars

This was a great start to the series! This was my first book by this author, & I have to say that i'll definitely be checking out her other work. This novel was very sweet and had just a tiny hint of suspense to it.

Brief Summary: Thea met Logan 6 years ago in a bar in New York. They had one amazing lust-filled night together & then they parted ways. Skip forward 6 years & Logan finds Thea again on a business trip to Montana, where he then learns that their one night of passion produced more than just fond memories, he's now a father to a little girl named Charlie.

This book is a beautiful mixture of love, friendship & parenthood.

Some things that I really liked about this book?:
-Thea. She was AMAZING. I like for my heroine to be strong, which she was & I absolutely adored her character.
-I love how there wasn't a big fight about Logan not knowing that he was a father. He got a little pissed (understandably) but they both were adults about the whole situation.
-Charlie. I love how she wasn't a girlie-girl, she was all tomboy and I think that it added a different aspect to the story.
-I loved the author's writing style, it was easy to read & fast paced. I only had one issue, but we'll get to that in a moment.
-Logan. I had my issue's with him, but he really was a good person with a good heart.

Some issues I had with this book:
-Ugh. The sex scenes. I'm not a prude & I love to read a good sex scene like any of you, but when words like wet cunt are thrown in there all willy-nilly it just makes my skin crawl.
-The little ‘suspense' bit was weird, I think it should've been scrapped from the book completely.
-Logan killed me with the whole moving to NY thing, I felt like he only had his best interest at heart where that was concerned.

There wasn't much that I didn't like, so definitely a 4 star read for me. As of right now i'm almost finished with book 3 in this series! I would definitely recommend this to fans of the Romance genre.

Wow...



Tillie Cole knocked it out of the fucking park with this one. This book is right up there with Flame's for me.

I was so worried about how she was going to pull this off, with this book having 2 males and only 1 female, but she did it. I honestly don't think anyone could have done it better.

Sia just became one of my favorite female characters in this series. She is strong, independent, and funny.

Cowboy is insanely charming, sweet and also funny. Some moments between him and Sia made me literally laugh out loud.

Hush is the broken, scarred soul that needs to be repaired. His backstory legit made me ugly cry.

The bond between the three of them is such a beautiful thing.

No, Cowboy and Hush are not intimate with each other, but their brotherly bond is stronger than Styx/Ky or AK/Flame/Viking. The backstory of how they became so close was heartbreaking, but definitely explained why they were so close.

The sex scenes, In polite terms....had me shook.


Definitely some of the best throughout this series.

I did not expect to feel this way about this book, but I'm so fucking happy that she wrote it this way, it's perfect and I would change nothing about it. I just want like 3 more books of just them. I'm honestly sad that this story is over because I don't think that any of the upcoming books will have the same effect on me that this one did. But...I also didn't think that anyone could compete with flame, so....fingers crossed?

4.5 Stars!

I absolutely loved this little book! It was short, sweet & to the point. I honestly wish there were more!

This story is about Bailey & Cash. Bailey is a grad student & works at a coffee shop part time. Cash is a famous tattoo artist that owns his own tattoo shop right down the road from the coffee shop. Cash has been coming in almost daily just to see Bailey, & then one night when she quits her job because her boss is a giant douche, Cash hires her as his receptionist. & that's when their little love story begins.

It went very quickly & my only complaint is that I really do wish that it was longer. I enjoyed all of the side characters & I hope that at least a few of them would get their own book in the near future.

I absolutely love this author and this book is hands down, my favorite of hers. The pace is a little slow in the beginning, but it picks up rather quickly once Guy gets to the house. This book legitimately freaked me out. This is clean horror, it can be slightly gory but nothing that should turn your stomach.

4.5 Stars!

I've been trying to find a good scary book for a little while now, and I came across this trilogy. I'm so glad that I did!! The pace of this book was perfect to me, I know that a lot of reviewers had said that they thought that the beginning was kinda slow, but I was hooked from the first chapter.

I think that the author did a phenomenal job by creating the perfect tone to this book. This gave me the heebie-jeebies in broad daylight!

I couldn't stand Elizabeth, she just didn't listen. She wandered off on her own, tried to open doors they were told not to open, got lost, got them into the worst situation possible...but I guess there always has to be that one idiot, without them it wouldn't be a horror story, right?

The only reason that I gave it 4.5 stars is because I wish that it was just a touch scarier. Yes, it gave me the creeps in broad daylight, but when I went to bed that night I didn't think about it at all. To me, a 5 star horror book will sit with me for days and scare the living shit out of me.

But anywho, I can't wait to finish this trilogy. I'm dying to know how this story will end!

This is a collection of short stories told from the perspective of undertakers/funeral directors.Going into this, I thought it was gonna be more on the sad side. While it did have some tear-jerking moments, this showed more of a heartwarming and funny side of funerals. I really like how you get a look into the daily lives of this profession.But seriously, all jokes aside-I now have such a deep respect for these people because until you read something like this, you don't realize what these people actually do and how hard on them it may be. Especially when their grandmother/father/best-friend/lover passes away and they're the ones to handle them.Since I enjoyed this so much, I really want to read more like it. There's another book by the same two authors called [b:Over Our Dead Bodies: Undertakers Lift the Lid 18371379 Over Our Dead Bodies Undertakers Lift the Lid Ken McKenzie https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1385353788l/18371379.SX50.jpg 25981469] and I will probably be picking that up soon.

This book had so much potential to be good.

I LOVE reading MC Romance novels, there is usually a lot of action, romance & hot and heavy sex. With this book there was very little of each of those things. The book only took a couple hours to read...(like 2) and it felt very rushed and not well thought out.

Devlin (ugh..I hate the name) is in his mid twenties and he falls for a high school girl (Kaylie) when she's 16.(Creepy much?) However, he waits until she's 18 and graduated from high school to make his move on her. They fall instantly in love. (Bullshit) They FINALLY have sex at pretty much the end of the book, he gets arrested, he gets bailed out...yay happily ever after.

So my issue is that I'm not sure if this was the author's very first novel she ever wrote or not, but it needed SO MUCH WORK. So many typing errors were made, and quite frankly the storyline completely fell flat. Now, I'm not saying that I absolutely hated it, because I didn't. It kept me interested, for the most part, until I was at 90% and realized that the book was about to end and nothing even really happened yet. IMO, the author should have taken her time and realized the potential that this story could have had. There was barely any action or drama. (If you aren't familiar with these types of books, they usually have at least 2-3 kill scenes, a huge fight, a break-up and lots of sex or sexual tension.)

I think the author could have used Dani (Crazy ex-girlfriend.) more wisely. It's so nice when crazy bitches get what they deserve, and she had a lot of potential to be a crazy bitch. Maybe it continues in the next story, but I would have rather had it in this one since she's “so in-love” with Devlin. My second huge problem was that Devlin and Kaylie never broke up or had a huge fight or something that made them realized that they needed each other. Cliché, I know, but that is something that I feel necessary when writing a romance novel. They just fell in love in a matter of days and now they're planning on marriage? Fuck that. I need a better written story for it to keep me interested in the series.

Probably not reading the rest of the series.

NO RATING

This book was......interesting?

Now, you may be wondering why I chose not to rate it. Well to put it simply, I have no clue how I feel about this book. I don't want to give it a bad rating because I definitely did not hate it.

I was going to rate it a solid 3 stars, but that didn't feel right and nothing above or below that felt right either. So, here we are.

I honestly don't know how to write a review for this book either, but


It hooked me from the beginning. I literally read this in a day.

And let me just state for the record, I ain't no chicken, but this shit was DARK. Like, the darkest thing I have ever read, and I NEVER shy away from the dark side. I had to put it down a couple of times and do something else to clear my mind.

But does that make it bad? No, definitely not. It just made me feel some type of way that I wasn't necessarily comfortable with. But what do you expect from a book called Sick Fux?


Ellis (Dolly) & Heathan (Rabbit) are completely different people. He is obsessed with death & She is obsessed with a fairy tale. They meet when they are children and form a very close bond. Dark shit happens, and they are separated for 11 years. When they finally meet again, neither of them are who they used to be. Heathan has to help Ellis escape from the place in her mind where she has locked herself away.

I wouldn't call this a retelling of Alice in Wonderland. More so, a girl that is just completely obsessed with the book. So much so, that she truly believes that she lives in this alternate reality. Almost everyone in this story has a “nickname” from the famous fairy tale.

The love story part of this was absolutely phenomenal. Nothing and no one can come between them, their bond is THAT unbreakable. They remind me of Joker & Harley Quinn but with an actual loving relationship instead of an abusive one.

I adored Heathan, but I felt weird about Ellis. From the shit she went through, her mind was under developed. So, I kind of saw her as a child instead of a woman. Both of them were absolutely Psycho, and they really enjoyed killing people. They were totally anti-heroes. They killed people, but only people who deserved it.

(^ If you read the book, you'll understand why that gif it totally perfect!)

Overall, I liked this book but I just can't give it a solid rating. It was insanely dark, with a shit ton of killing, but also with some verrrry hot sex.

If you have a dark mind, definitely give it a go! If you can't handle a little gore, then this is definitely not for you.

I have been waiting to read this novella for SO long!

I had to remind myself to read these books in order so that I wouldn't ruin anything. I read the first 3 books a couple of years ago and once I got to Ryder's story I just wasn't into it and I gave the series up for a little while. Thankfully I picked them back up and powered through them in a matter of days. So glad I did because I was missing out.

Ok, review time. This is going to be short and sweet, just like the novella.

So, I adored this little story. I love Styx and Mae as a couple, they are the characters that drew me to this series. Even though I am now a Flame whore, they will always be one of my favorite couples.

There was only one thing that bothered me and this is why it got 4 stars instead of 5. Please do not uncover this spoiler if you haven't read the book yet. I know that Tillie doesn't want us to spoil anything but I just have to know what everyone else thinks.

Why did Styx not write a song and sing his vows to Mae? If that is the only time that he is truly stutter free, why not? To be quite honest, I thought that was where this book was going and I was a little let down when he didn't. I love Styx and his stutter, but I know how important it was to him to give Mae proper vows. Thoughts?

I still loved this book either way, and it makes me excited for Flame and Maddie's novella!!!

This was a very quick read, and I absolutely loved it. I thought that it was going to be overly religious, but it wasn't. I also thought that it was going to be extremely sad, but I only teared up once. Eddie is a very likeable and relatable character, each of the 5 people that he meets in heaven is significant for him, even if he's never met them during his life on earth. The author does a great job at putting feelings into words, or making a point that you've never thought of before. I definitely can't wait until I get to read, “The Next Person You Meet In Heaven.”

5 Stars
This is definitely one of my top favorite reads of the year.

THIS. BOOK. WAS. AMAZING!

I flew through this in less than a day, it hooked me from the very beginning and I just couldn't stop. I loved it so much that I just had to have the paperback version... it should be here in a couple of days.

This is a bittersweet tale of love & loss, just not in the way you think.

Juliet lost her mother a couple of months ago. Declan lost his sister a few years ago. Neither of them handle their grief very well. Juliet closes up and won't let anyone in, and Declan lashes out by making horrible decisions and acts like a total dick. Declan gets sentenced community service at the local graveyard after he gets drunk and crashes through a store. Juliet visits her mothers grave often and leaves her heartfelt letters. Declan reads one of the letters and writes back. From then, they share a series of letters (& eventually emails) written back and forth. They tell each other everything and form a very strong bond.

I absolutely adored this book. The only thing that I didn't like was the ending, mostly because I didn't want it to end! Also, I wasn't ready to let these characters go. It ended rather abruptly and I think that a couple more chapters, or even an epilogue would have made this book perfect. I adored Declan because he had the whole bad boy vibe going for him, I liked Juliet even though she was a bit on the snobby side. I think that all of the characters were very well thought out and the plot of the story was very unique.

I will definitely be recommending this book to whoever I can.

I usually enjoy Darcy Coates book, but I have read a few that I couldn't get into as much and this is one of them. Her writing is always wonderful and she can legitimately freak me out sometimes, but this one just fell a little short. I didn't get freaked out at all, and I feel like the ending left something to be desired.

Tara (15) & Kyle (12) go to stay with their grandparents after their mother was involved in a horrible car accident that left her in a coma. At first, their grandparents, (whom they've never met) are absolutely perfect. Both kids wonder why their mother never mentioned them, or why they never came to visit. Mysterious things start happening in the house, and after a particularly bad storm the phone line stops working, separating them from the outside world. The kids start unraveling secrets as the story goes on, and rather quickly uncover the truth.

This was a very quick read and the untold mysteries kept me interested. I just wanted more out of the ending. This wasn't a bad book, I just want to get scared when I read a horror story and this one just didn't do that for me.

I started reading this one after I finished [b:In Fury Lies Mischief 52543802 In Fury Lies Mischief (Midnight Mayhem, #2) Amo Jones https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1583117922l/52543802.SX50_SY75.jpg 77753799] & I was SO excited because I thought that I was going to find my next series to read by this author. I read the first 3 in this series before I dnf'd the 4th one. I won't be writing reviews on the other two because I honestly can't remember what happened in which book. Anywho, on to a very half-assed review. I spent half the time confused about what in the hell was going on.I didn't understand why these group of boys were being so damn weird with this girl, like...fucking with her hard in the fucking oddest ways. I didn't connect with ANY of the characters. The guys were all dicks and Madison was an idiot. I truly didn't like her character at all. They were all EXTREMELY immature & that's a major turn-off when i'm reading a book.Now, with all that being said there was a reason that I read 3 books before stopping...I don't know what that reason is, but there was something that kept me interested. I think that I was just wanting to know answers since I was so confused & later on I got them....kind of. Even with everything that I didn't like about these books, I honestly didn't hate them hence the 3 star ratings. They weren't complete shit but they weren't masterpieces either. This won't deter me from reading more Amo Jones books, 2 of my most anticipated reads this year is from her & I can't wait to get my hands on them, it's just that these books weren't for me.

I've seen this series recommended so much over this past year, so I have high hopes and I do have to say, so far so good!

The basic premise is that Lana, a serial killer and Logan, an FBI agent fall in love and he's assigned to her case.

This was a very quick read, I believe it only had 132 pages in it but it was a great start to the series!

****************************

The rest of the review is for myself if I need to refer back to a previous book. It will have spoilers, so proceed with caution.

Our fmc is Lana and she's a serial killer...kind of. She's not a horrible person, just someone who horrible stuff happened to and she wants revenge. We don't get the whole story about what happened to her in this book but what we do know is that a group of guys from her hometown took her and her brother...hostage?? They raped and probably beat her, and they killed her brother. (I believe they did this because the brother was gay and this was a verrrrrrry conservative town.) Anywho, so these guys leave her for dead and they are all under the assumption that she died. She miraculously lives and gets a ton of plastic surgery done to fix what was broken. She doesn't look like herself anymore. She swaps identities with a rich heiress who got killed in a car wreck and was completely unrecognizable. She then changes her/rich heiress name to Lana and begins to plan for revenge. She kills each guy in the group one by one. She tortures them, chops off their fingers, carves them up with dull knives, slices meat off their chest and lastly, cuts off their willies. (Ouch.)Agent Logan Bennett is a profiler for the FBI and he is very good at his job. He is tall, dark and handsome but has a hard time committing to anyone because of his job. He's seen some shit, but instead of being a grump like I would have expected, he's giving me golden retriever vibes. Logan and Lana meet at a coffee shop when another FBI agent tries and fails to hit on her first. They start texting and calling each other all the time and then they start meeting up when they can. I'm loving their relationship so far. I'm also loving the relationship she has with Jake, her best friend/business partner. This book left on a bit of a cliffhanger because Logan's ex-gf/coworker found out that Lana is NOT who she says she is.

So, I believe this is the first “Christmas book” I've ever read.

I was expecting a corny ass hallmark movie in book form...and this....wasn't that.


This book dealt with some real shit including but not limited to death, poverty, sexual harassment, & special needs. It was quite depressing at times.

However, I didn't hate it. It actually turned out to be a good little story. I did have some issues though.
-The characters were a little bland. I liked Daniel, but Kate was just Meh.
-I felt that it was overly descriptive at times.
-The ending was blurted out within the last 15 pages. (I hate that. It makes the ending feel rushed.)

There are more, but those were my main issues.

If you're looking for a light and fluffy Christmas book, then this is not for you. I mean, give it a go but be prepared to be sad through most of the book.

I have tried so hard to wrap my head around this book.

Was it good? YES
Was it bad? YES
Did the author write well? HELL YES
Would I recommend it? Definitely.

MC Romance is my favorite sub-genre, but the books that I like to read are completely different than this. The writing was wonderful, but I've never read a romance book where I knew from the beginning that the main character was legit gonna die. (That's not a spoiler, he seriously dies within like the 1st chapter.)

I fell in love with these characters and while this book broke my heart, it was so well written and it was real. The MC romance that I like to read is filled with happily ever afters & this book showed real problems that a real MC would face. (Not saying that this book doesn't have a HEA, I think it's up to the reader at that point.) So needless to say, I'm glad that I read it. I'm gonna give myself some time before I try to finish the series.

Oh, sweet Tango.

My heart hurt for him in this story. His backstory was really sad and fucked up, but his internal monologue fucking killed me. He thought so little of himself, he thought that he was worthless and he thought that he didn't deserve happiness. He was extremely depressed.

“The nightmare would never be over; a pretty boy...he was just a pretty boy...someone's little loverboy.”

I have never read a story like this before, but I'm glad that it was a story of recovery and it didn't have a tragic ending.

I didn't know if I would like this book as much because I don't read M/M romance novels. Nothing against it, it's just not my thing.


Honestly, I don't think that I could pick which book is my favorite in this series. They are all SO GOOD! Every single character is phenomenal and they all have their very own personalities. That's a huge plus for me, because not every author can make each character their own unique person, but Gilley did!

I think that Tango & Whitney had a very sweet relationship. I love how their love story was a little slower than all of the others.

The last chapter made me so, so happy. Tango got everything he deserved & more.

If you do not like to read about fucked up things, this book definitely isn't for you. It deals with a lot of horrible things. If you are triggered easily, I probably wouldn't even read this series. If reading about dark & horrible things doesn't bother you, definitely give this series a go. It's worth it.

Fair Warning: This post will probably contain spoilers. This being my favorite series, I don't wanna have to watch what I say. I want to review it fully & not skirt around any details. Also, most people have already seen the movies. But, If you know nothing about Harry Potter, I suggest you stop reading this review and start reading the series. :)

I can't tell you how many times I have done a re-read on this entire series. But each time I do, I learn something new or I read something that I don't remember reading. It's awesome!!


Synopsis:
Harry is an 11 year old boy who lives with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon & Cousin Dudley. (Also known as the Dursley's) They pretty much hate Harry & are quite abusive towards him. Even though they don't physically abuse him, they make him live in a small cupboard under the stairs, they don't give him enough food, they make him wear Dudley's old raggedy clothes, they never spend a dime on him, & mostly they are verbally abusive. The reason why? Harry is a wizard. His parents died at the hands of the most vile & evil dark lord of all time, Voldemort. Voldemort also tried to kill Harry the night he killed his parents, but did not succeed. The Dursley's want nothing to do with magic, they despise it. They feel like Harry is a burden to them, so they take their anger out on him. Luckily, since Harry is a Wizard, he is accepted into the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. After a few minor setbacks, a half-giant named Hagrid comes to retrieve him from the Dursley's “care” so that he can attend school. Here, Harry is thrown into a magical world that he knows nothing about. Rather quickly, he makes a friend named Ron Weasley & just as quickly he makes an enemy, Draco Malfoy. Harry and Ron also meet a girl named Hermione Granger, who they think is really annoying at first, but they form a close friendship with her after Ron hurts her feelings & they save her from a troll attack. Throughout this book, these 3 get into trouble a lot, but along the way they form an unbreakable bond. In the End, Harry comes face to face with Voldemort and stops him from regaining his power.

Okay, review time.

I absolutely adore this whole series. JK Rowling is (IMO) the most talented author ever. How does one come up with an entire world as descriptive as the Harry Potter universe? I know, I know...many authors do this, especially in the fantasy & sci-fi world. But, seriously! I have trouble naming my Sims, yet here she is making up names for schools, people, animals, potions, spells, objects...the list goes on and on. I've always been amazed by her writing ability & that will NEVER change.

Characters:

Harry Potter

I know it's been said before, but book Harry is so feisty!! I love it! He made me giggle quite a few times with his little off-hand comments. Harry is a great MC, he's honest, brave, kind, he has integrity, but what makes Harry so great to me though, is his loyalty. He will do anything for his friends, his school, hell, even just for the greater good. Since I have already read HP numerous times, it's very hard for me to write a review based on 11 year old Harry. In my mind, I've watched him grow & he's different from the boy you first meet in this book. So, with that being said, I'll just leave it at that.

Ron Weasley

In the later books, Ron is my favorite. But, I have loved his character since the beginning. He has most of the same qualities of Harry, he's loyal, honest and he has good morals. But he grew up in a large, loving household, whereas Harry did not. Even though Harry & Ron share a lot of the same character traits, they definitely have different personalities. I feel that Ron is more loyal to his friends than anything. Yeah, he'll help save the school, but he does it because he doesn't want his friends to do it alone. Ron is the prime example of a best friend.

Hermione Granger

Smart & Sassy! Hands down one of my most favorite female characters ever. I won't lie, when I first read this book I remember Hermione getting on my nerves because she was such a prude. She would stick her nose in Harry and Ron's business and give them advice they didn't think they needed. But without Hermione they would've been totally screwed, especially at the end! She is also very loyal, but she isn't an idiot. Luckily, she's there to make sure that Harry and Ron doesn't get themselves killed. (Or worse, Expelled!)

The Dursley's

These 3 are complete and utter trash. But Petunia...she's the worst. Let me tell you why:
1. She disowned her sister for no reason other than she was a witch.
2. She couldn't have cared less when Lily died and left her nephew an orphan. If Dumbledore hadn't dropped him off on their doorstep, they would've carried on with their lives like nothing ever happened.
3. She has always hated Harry just because he is his mother's child. Just think of little baby Harry crying because he just wants to be held, and her completely ignoring him. Or, when he was hungry and she let him cry until she was finally done dealing with her own son. Or, Harry crying in pain because they buy the cheapest diapers & wait to change him until he “fills it up” so they save more money?
4. They all just abuse the hell out of him & no one bats an eye.
I have just never understood how she could have no love whatsoever towards Harry. She is the most vile & cruel woman, and dare I say that she's worse than Voldemort?

The Weasley's

You will find no better family in this entire series. Mr. & Mrs. Weasley are the best. They are dirt poor, but they do everything that they can to provide a good life for their kids. Mrs. Weasley might be really strict, but she is the most loving and caring Mother that I have ever had the pleasure to read about. Mr. Weasley is very laid back and he works really hard to support his family. I love how they treat Harry as one of their own, they are exactly what he needed after living with the Dursley's for so long.

I literally could review 10+ more characters, but writing this review alone has gotten me behind on all of my other reviews. When I read and review the other HP books, they most likely won't be as long and as detailed as this but since this was the first, I felt that I needed to.

Parting thoughts: If you haven't read any of these, I STRONGLY encourage you to at least try them out. Maybe it's not your cup of tea? Cool, I won't understand why, but everyone has different tastes.

Until next time.

DNF

Meh.

I just couldn't get into this book. Maybe it was because I was just so ready to be done with the after series, maybe it actually wasn't interesting.

I honestly just skimmed through the entire book and read the “good” parts. She didn't even put the parts in there that I really wanted, but whatever.

I may try to go back eventually and read this properly, but definitely not anytime soon.

If you absolutely loved this series, read it! You may like it, I just had a love/hate relationship with the series and this book did absolutely nothing for me. Not bashing it, everyone just has different tastes.

Oh, Aidan.


I was really looking forward to this book, and it did not disappoint!

Aidan's a fuckboy. He's a selfish, immature manwhore...at least, that's what he was in previous books.

This is the story of Aidan growing from a boy to a man. He makes mistakes...like, hella mistakes in this book. At times, he was a downright idiot. But, those mistakes are what made him change for the better.

Sam is a college professor & the ultimate good girl. She's been in love with Aidan since high school.
He never noticed her, until she became Ava's friend.

“‘You don't want me,' she said through her teeth. ‘You think you do, now, all of a sudden, because Tonya used you and made you feel like shit...I make you feel better, right? You said so. Because I'm this pathetic...loser...who has a crush on you, and looks at you adoringly, and makes you feel like a man. You don't want me. You want the ego boost.'”


Damn girl.

But, I loved them together. A perfect unbalanced match.

There wasn't a lot of mystery as to how the story was going to unfold. I knew that Aidan wouldn't tell her about the baby, that she would find out some other way. I knew he wouldn't tell Ghost about Greg, but that was his immaturity shining through. That was the turning point for him though, and god did I love mature Aidan.

IMO, there wasn't enough groveling for the whole baby thing. I just needed a teeny bit more. Sam of course, didn't let him get away with it though
“'But don't you get it? You can't blunder through life one accident at a time. I won't let myself be another of your accidents. When are you going to grow up? When the baby comes? After? Never?'”
Yes bitch.

This book was also focusing on Tango, since his book is next it introduced us even more into his fucked up mind. This helped Aidan on his journey into manhood. After what happened to Tango, I saw a completely different Aidan.

Ghost and Aidan finally hashed out their shit. This book made me hate Ghost even more than I already did. But, he did get some brownie points at the end of the book. But still...Fuck you Ghost.


There was so much more to this story than romance. Lauren Gilley is an amazing author. I know I say that in every review, but fuck if it ain't true. You get chapters about the other characters that we have read about and grown to love.

Warnings:To me, this book didn't really have any horrible parts except for some of Tango's story. But just be aware that this series as a whole has some fucked up content in it. If you have any triggers, I may just skip this series, or just tread very carefully. As amazing as this series is, it deals with real shit.
