Review:Oh, the feels! I love Penny Reid, and this story is perfection. Penny strings together individual situations that could actually happen into a fantastic story of love and redemption and acceptance. Each character is distinct, with their own quirks and flaws. There is no stereotypical hero and heroine, and the supporting characters (at least the on-going ones) are unique in their motivations and personalities.
This story, while part of a series, has no true cliffhangers and is HEA. I ... Read more
Review:Full disclosure--I adore Penny and pretty much everything she writes. I am always thinking that maybe I won't like one of her books as much as the last one, but it's never the case. Every damn time she surprises, delights and makes me think.
I was worried about Marie's book because I felt the least kinship with her, but boy oh boy was she a fabulous character. Such a smart, driven, and flawed woman. I love Marie.
I also love Dan, phew, who wouldn't?
I hope you pick up the whole series i... Read more
Review:I eagerly anticipated the release of this book, the conclusion to the Knitting in the City Series, and I was not at all disappointed. I loved Kat and Dan's story. It was sweet, sexy, and laugh-out-loud funny! I especially LOVED Dan and his fantastically foul mouth - his creative cursing was hysterical. The epilogue gave a glimpse of the future and left me with the hope for more. . . Another spin off maybe? I guess we'll see! ☺ Read more
Review:This book was over too soon! I absolutely love the Winston brothers series. Actually, I love all of the books written by Penny Reid! I love that her characters are funny, quirky and flawed, with real life problems and issues. Cannot wait for the next in the series! Read more
Review:This book was a surprise. I thought it might just be for young readers, but it was a fantasy tale for all. The characters were well-told and the story moved quickly. It was always believable and kept me turning the pages. It's the first of a trilogy and I purchased the next two books with great anticipation. Read more
Review:My relationship with Australian author Garth Nix is an odd one. My first introduction to Nix was in middle school when I attempted to read his famous Sabriel novel after being relentlessly urged to do so by friends. I couldn't get further than one hundred pages. It was so excruciatingly boring that I had to stop -and I rarely give up on books that after I've begun them. Considering my taste in literature, Nix's books should fit perfectly with my preferences, but something about them just falls s... Read more
