Love This!

Revisado: 08-30-24

Twisty, turny and heartwarming. The perfect love story. Not sci-fi by genre, that takes a backseat entirely, but fun and quirky.

Slow and Dragging

Revisado: 11-19-21

Wish I'd known this is a Romeo Juliet Retelling---that's the most boring of the Bard's plays. I enjoyed the plot twist, but otherwise, this was a very boring ride.

brilliant

A new favorite. Captivating poetic prose with rich nature imagery. Narration was spot on, too!

Cringe-Worthy

Revisado: 05-19-21

Zeph basically grooms Josie from toddler years and immediately bangs her the nanosecond she turns 18---before she even graduates highschool. There's nothing else I took away from this book.

The audiobook narrator was amazing...but the story is awful.

Entertaining Story! Lackluster Narration

Revisado: 01-25-21

If you're looking for a memorable cast of characters to follow on haphazard disorganized personal journeys relating to family drama---this is your cup of tea, sis.
This has no central plot nor any clear protagonist or antagonist to follow. This is like watching a reality TV show for the fun of getting to know the cast, and what they're up to. So enjoy it for what it is. The obstacles the cast face are creative and entertaining--which is what kept me moving through the book.

However, the narration is absolutely awful. At one point, the narrator reads a sex scene with the same objectively distant tone she used to describe a hospital room. So much for bringing the prose to life, I guess. Also the accents are inconsistent. Lucifer's British varies. Gabriel sounds anywhere between 5yrs old and 20 depending on the scene, and the other angels have 'urban' accents which makes them indistinguishable from each other. Wyatt was the only voice that 'fit' the character, to me. Do yourself a solid and just purchase the Kindle edition and read it yourself.

Show Don't Tell

Revisado: 04-24-20

This entire novel is just a summary of the story we've been following. The author throws exponential exposition throughout the story. explaining away all the plot holes she's left us with thus far, so she can wrap up the series...rather than weaving the information throughout like a good book would do. This reads like a first draft rather than a well-outlined journey. Her editor shouldn't have let this slip through the cracks.

Entertaining Premise

Revisado: 02-11-20

Creative and original plot that loses a bit of pace toward the end. I love the lead, though. She's fun to follow. Will read the second book.
