Wow, what an incredible emotional read with second chances, first love, and more!
From the very first page I was enchanted by the new girl going on a fishing trip with the boy next door. Once they have a chat and bonded they are inseparable. Eventually that friendship turns to more. London will do anything to protect Laney and vice versa which leads to a devastating separation.
After 6 years they are unexpectedly reunited where secrets come to light. There is so much angst and the slow burn ahhh. The twists and turns just has you gripping your pages wondering how are they going to over come the past. I really felt for these characters. They felt real and raw. It really shows how strong relationships can stand the test of time.
Inspired by Tim McGraw's Don't Take The Girl the writing felt international. LA's writing is some of my absolute favorite. Her character's and stories are absolutely incredible!

There's so many potential suspects throughout the book that when it was finally revealed I was a little surprised. I feel like this book had great pacing. It wasn't slow and there was always something new coming into focus. The FMC is tough and I felt really thorough. You can tell she wants to find these missing girls. Also, the setting really creates a vivid picture for this story.
Also, the narration was spectacular!
Def recommend! Thank you Macmillan audio for the gifted audio copy....more

What a fantastic end to the Runaway Ranch Series! This has been one of my most anticipated reads for the year and it did not disappoint. This series hWhat a fantastic end to the Runaway Ranch Series! This has been one of my most anticipated reads for the year and it did not disappoint. This series has a way of making you feel all of the emotions and fall in love with the characters. The mystery and suspense had me on my toes!
Both Wyatt and Fallon are so stubborn. They both have been denying their feelings for each other for years. The loathe to love in this book is *chef's kiss*. Talk about slooooooow burn. I don't normally like miscommunication but it was done really well that I didn't even notice it. There is something so satisfying about a character who has their walls built so high to watch them slowly crumble and becoming soft. Fallon has got to be my favorite character: she's tough and never backs down from a fight.
While I'm sad this series has come to an end it was fantastic. I can't wait to see what Ava does next!
I adored this book! My eye was first captured by the covet and title and though this sounds fun! I was so right!
After a terrible accident that leaves I adored this book! My eye was first captured by the covet and title and though this sounds fun! I was so right!
After a terrible accident that leaves Vivian's little girl turned into a werewolf they uproot their lives to go live in a magic community. Vivian navigates PAC (aka PTA meetings), mom guilt, and getting her daughter through kindergarten at her new magic school.
Vivian's mom guilt was so relatable. Her need to fix and take everything on herself I feel like a lot of people can relate to. She's also trying to make friends while setting up Aria for success. This story really shows that bullying isn't just with kids but adults too! Even though it's a cozy fantasy it tackles real life problems with a magical twist.
Def check out for a cozy fantasy! Thank you titan books for the gifted book....more

From the beginning my heart strings were pulled. With Hadley's loved one getting a serious cancer diagnosis. Where they pick up and move across the country to California. From there Hadley meets Lex a neuroscientist who ends up being her next door neighbor.
Their banter which starts off being one sided by Hadley eventually turns into more. I loved reading about their interactions! Some had me giggling and others were heartfelt. A really great read!

You have a case of mistaken identity and mythology. I think parts of the book were a hit and others not so much. I would be interested in reading more by the author because there is some great world building.

I was really enraptured from the very first page. I really liked the writing style. The authors creates a wonderfully dark tragic story that follows Piers on her way to self discover and empowerment. I think the magic of coming from a line of witches who use poison was very unique. The only thing stopping me from a full 5 stars is I wish I had trigger warnings before hand. That being said a fantastic read for spooky season.

I really liked that the FMC was "godforesaken" like a lot of her kingdom's people. Also, that she didn't let herself stop from entering the trails even though she has no magic. I liked the political and religious intrigue too.
I only gave it 3 stars because it just felt like it dragged on a bit. Like not a lot really going on until the end. I also wanted more of the side characters. I do think theres potential and that the second book could be redeeming.
