Here’s a little wrap up for the last few books I read in 2019 – I hope you enjoy!
Rating: ★★★☆☆
Release Date: January 7, 2020
Still a good story, but not as fun/engaging as book 1 for me. I really liked having Gray as a POV because he was quite the scene stealer in book 1, and I loved getting to see more from him. Lia Mara was a bit of a frustrating charcter. I liked her compassion, bravery, and smarts – but she honestly had everyone around her look kinda stupid with how quickly she put things together. It just brought the story down a little bit. It was also hard to justify Rhen’s direction and actions in this story. We do get some answers at the end of the book, but a lot is still left unclear. But one think I did truly love was Gray’s relationship with Tycho – it was so pure and wonderful.
So this wasn’t quite the standout that book one was for me, but I did have a fun time reading it.
I received copy of the book from the publisher in exchange fr an honest review.

What a fun and festive story that you can read again and again. I have a feeling that relistening to this will be a holiday tradition – maybe while baking. It’s a great retelling of A Christmas Carol with a modern (and dramatic) twist. I liked Holly’s growth and it was just a great book to close the year with.
Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5 Stars)

Super fun, super cute, and exactly what I needed after finishing such a depressing book earlier in the week. This was a breath of fresh air because I knew exactly what I was going to get and I just had the best time being along for the ride. Mia and Jake are an adorable childhood friends to enemies to lovers trope come to life on the page and I couldn’t be happier. Even with the ending being a little rushed (which was probably my biggest complaint) I still just had so much fun reading this and it lifted my spirits to go into my next book!

The Afterlife of Holly Chase is already on my holiday TBR for later this year. Maybe I’ll try listening to it on audio!
