UntiLeo went a bit overboard with his obsession for Estella. It was sad poor Leo has agoraphobia. Estella and Graham seem like such a perfect couple. Until they weren't. When Leo snuck into Estellas room while she and Graham slept and finding out what he did had me shocked. I kept waiting for Leo and Estella to get caught especially when Graham, Estella and Leo were on the couch together. It was funny when he stopped leaving her wanting more when she acted like it was wrong. It was funny that the only reason Graham wanted to play hide and seak that he only wanted the prizes Estellas parents give out. Estella found her prize alright and found how much Leo is obsessed with her. It was sad when Grave told Leo not to ruin Estellas big moment. He wanted to intervene so bad but didn't. It was also sad that when Estella left he couldn't tell her goodbye which effected them both. Graham not listening to what Estella was telling him when they got home and what he did to her made me hate him. I was so shocked by what Leo does and it makes you like his character even more than you already do. I didn't think he would do what he ended up doing to be with Estella. I loved the ending. I'm so glad Estella finally stopped caring what others thought and went for what she wanted. ...more

I loved the idea of a book advent read and tried to only read one chapter a day. This had me hooked from the beginning. This kept me guessing on who the mystery man was and why he was doing what he did through the whole story. It kept me guessing what the new surprise would be in the stocking. I would have liked to know who the person following them was and why they picked the family. The ending left you wanting more. This is a great holiday read....more
I see a pattern that Harleigh likes to write spooky stories that have people in creepy old cabins. Layla and her friends renting a cabin in the woods I see a pattern that Harleigh likes to write spooky stories that have people in creepy old cabins. Layla and her friends renting a cabin in the woods to celebrate her 18th birthday what could possibly go wrong? I kept waiting for the ghost of the three masked men to show up but did not see who was going to show up. Reading what Layla saw happening and then what really happened was wild. When the flashback of Layla speaking to her doctor and her asking what would happen if she didn't take her meds had me gasping. The foreshadowing was really good. Inwas shocked when it's revealed what really happened in the cabin. This was a wild read. I would definitely recommend....more
This started out crazy. Iris and Jaspers parents were crazy with their punishments. Then finding Iris finding Dex and being his mother was so sweet. SThis started out crazy. Iris and Jaspers parents were crazy with their punishments. Then finding Iris finding Dex and being his mother was so sweet. She wanted to give him parents that neither had. Finding out why Dex was in there was heartbreaking. It was hilarious that neither Jasper nor Iris called the staff by their names but by what they thought they should be called. They created their own little family in the asylum ruling over the other patients. Iris is crazy throughout the boom buy you love evey minute of it. When she had shock therapy and thought it was a rush had me giggling. When they all got in trouble for trying to get Susan and Karen in line Dr H did warn her it wasn't going to be good. But, when they went after Dexy and he called for his momma had me in tears. Especially when she thought he would hate her because she couldn't rescue him when they took him. You feel bad for Iris just coasting by after Dex was taken. Jasper was so sweet taking care of her. It was sad when he was willing to bed on his knees to get her to eat anything. I was so glad when she snapped out of her trance and toom action to get Dex back. She did not lie when she said she was going to make those pay that took him. Kinsley had me in tears again when Jasper and Iris found Dex and he was calling out for his momma over and over. Flashing forward to when Dex has a crush on the girl next door. That cliff hanger in the in had me not only shocked but laughing at what Iris did for Dex. They are a great little family that looms out for each other. Something they didn't have growing up. I can't wait to start Dexs story next....more

Where has Asher been hiding all this time in Caras books? How did Sloan end up with jerks in Caras stories? Of you liked Caras stories you'll love Sloans. I could not believe Alex's actions when Sloan met his parents or how his parents treated Sloan. Alex's parents are really old-fashioned. When Sloan confronts Alex and he slaps her made me so angry. I really didn't like Alex as the story went on. Then in comes Asher. I loved when Alex met Asher. Reading how Alex's parents treated Sloan did not surprise me with how they treated Asher. I was shocked at how Sloan didn't realize the game she was playing was not with Alex. It was so funny when Asher got jealous of other guys checking Sloan out. I did not see one of the guys being problematic. I was glad when Asher took care of the problem. The ending! When Sloan finally found out who she's been playing with! I loved it. The cliffhanger left me wanting so much more....more

Izzy really worked to be aFrom being a daddys girl to being a "Daddys" girl Izzy let loose with Emmet. Emmet does not let you have anything for free. Izzy really worked to be able to stay with Emmet and for her meals. When you read the porch scene you think wow how can it top that but it most certainly can. The cookies, wanting to eat any meals, the snow! Izzy was having herself a good old time until her father showed up. When his face appeared in the window I laughed out loud because she was caught. I was so glad Emmet punched Izzys dad when he kicked poor Chunk. It was said when he asks her to come back and her response. Neither could stop thinking about one another. I was so glad she went back to her "Daddy" like they discussed. The snow scene! I don't know if I laughed more with Izzy and Emmets interactions or being shocked because she just met him and went wild. This is a good quick holiday read....more

I really liked watching Lyla build herself back up after she hit rock bottom. She had a rough time thanks to her stepfather Carter. I really hated her stepfather. It was so sad reading what all Lyla went through and finding out she barely had anything. Mikhail was so sweet for giving her a chance to audition, even leaving her food to get her strength back. I was so glad when she finally had a friend after getting her part after the audition. Lyla thought she was being sneaky hiding until after everyone left but not sneaky enough. Mikhail was so sweet watching out for Lyla to keep Carter away. Then when Carter catches her and takes her inside was worried what he would do but Mikhail was her savior. I loved the ending. This was a great quick read. ...more

In the beginning you question if Maxim really did off his adoptive parents and brother. It was sad when he revealed to Sarah why he did it. Especially the way his adoptive parents treated them. Sarah had the conflict of not wanting Maxim as a patient but if she refused he would end up back in jail. She should have listened to her gut when she thought she was being followed. Her night run, the bedroom scene, and the cantaloupe. First it was the pineapple in Sinners Retreat and now the cantaloupe. Maxim was cruel watching Sarah battling her inner turmoil about he night visitor. I kept waiting for Maxim to reveal who the masked man was but he didn't get a chance since Sarah found his hidden secret. This was a good quick read....more

WheThe way this starts off in the graveyard with the fog gives The Vampire Diaries vibes between Elena and Damon. This was a good quick vampire read. When she scolded herself being afraid of the fig was funny. Little did she know she did have something to be afraid of in the fog. When her body tells her to run When she was hearing sounds in one part of the graveyard I kept waiting on her to listen to her body but of course she did the opposite. Torrin making the Dust To Dust joke was hilarious. Elena finding out Torrin was in her room and then as if reading her mind he's there. After finding out about Elena being Shadow Kissed and being more comfortable on the dark side I couldn't wait for Torrin to turn her. They made a great couple together. If you're wanting a quick read this is one to try. ...more

You feel bad for Chloe most of the book and theI had an emotional love/hate for this book while reading it. Make sure you check the trigger warnings. You feel bad for Chloe most of the book and then question her thinking in it as well. Finding out about Chloe and Warricks past I can see why they would be drawn towards one another. I went from liking Warrick to hating him back to liking and then hating again through the whole book. It was sad Chloe didn't want to go out but went anyway with her friend just to be taken. It was really disappointing her friend didn't even notice she was gone. Reading about Chloes training was heartbreaking. Just when you think Warrick is going to be a nice guy he turns into a jerk again. Stuart being jealous of Chloe was funny. Both taking jabs at each other was hilarious. Then Warrick sending her away because he had feelings had me mad. Just for Chlie to end up where she started. But Warrick finally redeems himself. I'm glad he went after those who harmed Chloe. This will have you feeling all kinds of emotions. Callie Moss is great at having you laugh one minute and crying the next one her emotional stories. ...more
I really enjoyed that this picked up after the epilog from Maison De Fous. When Mark stayed on his cell phone the entire trip and was withdrawn from AI really enjoyed that this picked up after the epilog from Maison De Fous. When Mark stayed on his cell phone the entire trip and was withdrawn from Alaska, I knew that was a bad sign. You feel so bad the entire story for Alaska trying her best to get Mark interested in their relationship again and not being so attached to his phone. Alaska kept feeling like she was being watched, and she was right. The ice cicle scene! The snowflake necklace! When Alaska looked at Marks's phone, I knew what was coming and what she could possibly find. Johnny was always watching and waiting. Just when you think the alley scene was shocking, then Johnny taking care of Mark was a bit more. The snowman scene! It was shocking Alaska was just going to let Johnny take her, but he was giving her the attention she was craving so badly. When Johnny told Alaska what happened to his previous hookups and then told her she didn't have to worry, it made me giggle. That's definitely not something you want to hear after what Johnny did. I'm glad Johnny finally found someone for him. I can't wait to see their dark sides expand in the future, especially Alaska. This is a great quick holiday read. ...more

Just when you think Kamden is a sweet guy and turns out to be a jerk. Then the guy you think would be the jerk is actually a nice guy after being around Brogan. Avery was an amazing friend to Brogan through the entire story. We all could use a friend like her. I was shocked to find what video was leaked and then again when it was revealed who released it. Another shocking reveal was how Kamden and Hayes knew each other. I loved the ending. Hayes and Brogan made a good couple changing each other for the better. ...more

It was so sad when Florencia went intonher sisters dream that was on a constant loop. I was shocking by the end finding out who Camazotz and Elio really were and how they were created. It had me questioning why Elio would never visit Camazotz castle but then you find out why. Camazotz had a lot to handle taking care of Elio. Reading the story made you feel bad for Camazotz finding out he was never given anything like Elio who was handed everything. The fight scene between Camazotz and Elio was so sad but you find out a surprise about Florencia and her powers. I was surprised at what Florencia pulled put of her chest and what it did. I really liked the ending. She was able to visit her sisters and stay with Zotz. ...more
