I have read and listened to many shifter, wolf fae romances, however this one just was not it. The storyline felt like it was dragging forever. I felt like there was no progression in the relationship between the characters that could lead them to create actual feelings, other than maybe they’re being this magical bond but that was not spoken about. So therefore I couldn’t come to that conclusion of ‘oh they’re just attracted to each other due to this primal instinct’. I wasn’t drawn in by any of the characters and truthfully the backstory of Talia was so vague due to the fact that she either couldn’t remember or she wasn’t emoting her feelings properly that truthfully I just found her to be kind of whiny and boring. The guys just seemed like these grumpy men. It’s like they were each trying to have their own personality, but they were all just sexually frustrated so they were attracted to this female because she was there. I understand what the author was trying to do in terms of a storyline with her having this magical blood and being captured and held for that reason, however, unless the storyline progresses to be told why and how and giving you some sort of insight to keep you gripped you are basically going around in circles and not actually getting anywhere.

I generally listen to an American narrator. This book however, is narrated by a with a British accent. I feel though I can manage to get over this little insight within the first two chapters. It was a cute and enjoyable Christmas Story. But for some reason, I found the storyline to be lacking to make it have more of an impact within its genre. But for what it was, it was good. Short and sweet book that you can listen to just before Christmas to get you into the Christmas spirit.

Sometimes when you have stories based off retellings of other stories, you can’t think of how the sequel would come about. For me, the second book within a series either make or breaks a series when there is a continuation of the same storyline. The storyline was engaging and continued to peek my interest as each chapter went along. I wanted to see where the story went and how the problems that arose could be solved. There were still twist and turns with the characters and the characters stayed true to who they were from the first book. Because of how this second book ended and how well it captured my attention I am very intrigued to see how the author can continue the story. It’s always curiosity of where the storyline can lead that makes me continue to read a series. And I am very curious about these characters and the new adventures that are gonna follow.

This was such an amazing retelling, well not really retelling but an extension of the original Alice Wonderland tale. Taking that story as an inspiration and creating a completely new world filled with adventure but also creating such horror with in the fairytale. The author almost took the original story and created a Brothers Grimm version of the fairytale. It was very detailed in the twists and the turns and the manipulation of the story taking the original characters and making them into something new and interesting. I think it is definitely worth the read especially if you enjoyed the Alice Wonderland movie by Tim Burton. Can’t wait to listen to the second one.

Amazing! Just amazing. The way the author into length the storyline and made the smallest details matter in the end was just so beautifully done. I can’t believe this world is over and the series has come to an end. I got so wrapped up into the story that I could have continued reading Tea’s story indefinitely. However, all good things must come to an end and the ending was perfection. I had goosebumps. I was happy and angry and sad all at the same time. It was a story that is so gripping and so unique. I loved every moment of it.

I can tell by listening to this book that the author put a lot of thought into the storyline, into the characters, into the backstory and into the world building. Creating fantasy worlds is sometimes very difficult because you have to think about how things connect and how they come full turn within the story. Continuously mentioning certain things to remind you of the magic that is within the universe such as the heart stones. I loved the details that the author put in to mentioning each person’s heart stone, going into peoples emotions. The story was forever flowing but also the time jumps made sense within the teachings for Tea. Having spoken about her lessons over and over and over again would have created a less harmonious flow to the storyline. Therefore it was very smart to say for several weeks. I did the specific lessons rather than constantly mentioning the lessons over and over like it had been a week. Intrigue at the end of book makes me want to read the second book. I can’t wait to see where Tea’s story continues to go and how the different characters in the story develop and continue along her journey.

The concept of the book was very intriguing, having to fulfill a will in order to get your inheritance. But the world is about marrying someone so that’s the family business stay within the two families. From the gecko, there was definitely chemistry between the two main characters. Their banter was on point. The story line moves along quickly and I loved the way it came full circle. Spice level is a 2.

I just couldn’t. Priests are meant to be very committed to their religious beliefs and their job. However, I found this priest gave up all that he believed in so easily that it became just unbelievable. The storyline didn’t go as I had thought it would. The priest should have been struggling with his thoughts and feelings and would pray harder in order to try keep his religion intact. But this priest in this book gave it up so easily that I just couldn’t. Let me say I am not religious. They should’ve been more of a battle in his head as well as he should not have been swearing the way he was. When you’re reading a book like this, with this type of storyline, you wanted to be as realistic as possible. But I could not get over the fact that he gave up what he believed in so easily.

I really enjoyed the first book, so I decided to give the second book ago and I’m so glad that I did so. The second book was a complete 180 to the first book, from how it started the relationship between the characters and how the relationship progressed. I was interested throughout the whole book seeing where these two characters would go, seeing how the secondary characters came in and out of their lives. It was overall very intriguing. I would give the spice level a one.

I really enjoyed the story the way it started was chaotic, which sort of set the tone for the rest of the book. In a good way. There was drama and intrigue. This almost I want her but don’t want her at the same time sort of push and pull to the relationship between the two main characters. I found that the narrator voice for the main female character was really spot-on, but for the male characters it felt a little bit off. There was a spice level of two.
