Ouf!! If you're looking for a short angsty read, this is it! This is the perfect prequel for Legacy of Lies, and sets up the book perfectly. We know it will take us on an emotional ride. We just do. Especially with that ending! Eeeep! I was not expecting that ALL!

This was my first Tara Leigh book, and it was a very satisfying read! The plot setup was amazing and concise. We dive into the world of the New York Elite, and we know exactly who the characters are and what is happening even if the setting is unfamiliar to most people. What also helps, is that it doesn't feel pretentious at all from the perspective of Tripp and Jolie. They don't act like entitled brats and I love it!

Their relationship is heartwarming and honest, and I am beyond excited to dive into Legacy of Lies tonight.

This book was different from what I expected. Different in the sense that there was a duality to it I did not see coming. A duality that both works and makes me twitchy. MANIK vs Aeron. Jekyll and Hyde in a sense. I was expecting a full-on dark rapper with dark rhymes and daemons eating at him. I mean there was some of that, but I craved more of it. It felt like it came second to his second life - to his family business. I wanted to bask in the darkness of MANIK's mind, and less in Ae's, if that makes any sense at all. I craved more darkness. I feel like his persona could have been pushed more.

There were definitely some cool elements in this book. I loves the characters. As always, Amo Jones creates some extremely lovable secondary characters. Lenny, and Kat being the best sassy and heart warming friends ever to Beat. Can I just say that character naming was ON FUCKING POINT?

This book did NOT lack Amo Flair. Yes, I just decided that was a thing - start a hashtag people, let's start a movement. It had all the twists and turns of a Jones plot. As soon as you think you've figured it out, she throws you a curve-ball that will leave your head spinning and say to yourself: "What the fuckerdoodle did I just read" ← Do not judge the lingo, it'll catch on one day, I'm sure. It also had some beautiful lines, some that will make your heart race due to the intensity, and some that will make you swoon like a little girl over Prince Charming. Yes, I just called MANIK swoon worthy. I'll even go as far as say that he has his moments where he's a cutie. *looks over shoulder* don't tell him I said that *runs*.

Anyways, I think Amo Jones' writing gets better with every book she writes. Her style develops and her flair intensifies #AmoFlair. I want to see her push the darkness more. I feel like she has it in her. She just needs to "let the devil in" *mic drop*

Actually, *picks mic back up again*, I also want to say that Amo Jones also tackles some heavy subjects in this book, and I'm proud of her for it. I'm proud she did it, and didn't beat around the bush about it. Now I'm done. *mic drop*

​I received an ARC of this book form the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Katia Rose!

This author guys... She is a gem. She has become an author that I will read anything she publishes, because every single time, I am taken by surprise by how GOOD her books are. I always have the nagging voice in my mind saying, this trope has been done over and over again and it might be cheesy, and Rose ALWAYS makes that voice shut up with her awesome words. She takes a classic story and turns it into something unique.

There is the perfect amount of sweetness, angst and sexiness in this book. The characters will capture your heart, Ace will make you either want to swoon, hug him, or strangle him, and you will fall victim to his story in the most beautiful way possible.

Not only is the romance A+ in this novel, but the attention to detail to the culture of the setting is commendable. The author truly captured the essence of Montreal. Of its cultural diversity, its tensions, and complexity. 

So, once again, Katia Rose has knocked it out of the ballpark!

Oh. My. God. The. Feels. (Yes, all those periods were necessary) This story will take you on a wild angst-y ride. It will take the classic bad boy trope and spin it on it's head - quite literally (if ya know, ya know what I just did there). Ryder and his butterfly are one the most beautiful couples I've ever read. Their path is difficult and has many bumps in the road, but their story will captivate you.

This is Dani René's first attempt at New Adult romance, and I have to say, it reads as if she's done this before. It's sweet and edgy all at once, and carries some great thought provoking messages about love.

My favourite part of this story is the idea of perception. When you love someone, truly love someone, you see them as a whole, and you put them on a pedestal; not because you celebrate how perfect they are, but because you acknowledge their flaws and their strength to wear them on their sleeve around you for only you to see. You celebrate their bravery. And then there's the perception of the onlooker - of the person who either doesn't understand what is transgressing between these two beings and opposes it with all  their might or completely understands and observes in awe at the beauty of it. Hence the title, Perfectly Flawed.

René truly demonstrates her skill as a writer to be fluent in multiple genres. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

​I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Anne Malcom!

What a book, what a ride... My emotions are still attempting to recover after nearly 24 hours since I’ve finished the book. Oh man, the roller coaster of emotions this will put you through. 

Anne Malcom has the gift of being able to insert subtleties into her books. Subtle emotional triggers, those little pangs to the chest, some subtle references you will only get if you look closely, the little details of every day life. She takes her time to not only describe it to us, but make us experience it. She teleports us to her world and holds us captive. 

But Malcom can also pack a punch. She sometimes foreshadows them too much, but they definitely do not lack impact. Even when you know what’s coming, you can’t help your heart nearly jumping out of your chest. 

Gage and Lauren are different. They are not your flowers and hearts, fairy-tale-like story. They are raw and real. They are flawed, they fight for what they have, and live in the ephemeral. This story brings forth the dilemma we humans face; live safe and comfortable in our bubble we constructed, or, step out and be daring. Follow our hearts rather than our brain. It’s about taking our walls, our facades, down, even of it’s one brick at a time, to let the light into our lives, and accept and acknowledge who we truly are.

I think the literary devices could have been pushed more, but Anne Malcom truly is a goddess with words. There is no denying it.

I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you BB Milller and Leslie Carson!

Wow. WOW. WOW. WOW. Okay, so, where have these two been my whole life? This book was everything. Either I’m getting weaker as time passes by, or these authors are on fire, cause they made me tear up. Yes, I shed a few tears!!!

I loved Sam’s story. It was emotional, raw, and captivating. Throughout the whole story, I had a my stomach in knots. I was nervous for Sam, for Hannah, praying the past wouldn’t catch up to them. I felt experienced every emotion they did. My heart raced and I’m just gonna go ahead and call it cardio cause it was beating so hard (genius right?).

The pace was spot on, the amount of description vs action was impeccable, the development of the relationship was on point. I cannot find a fault, because it was a beautiful story, with amazing characters. 

I am officially hooked on this series! It’s one of my favourite tropes, and it was done so well. I fell in love with Cam, Sam and, Hannah. I laughed alongside them and my heart swelled at the amount of love they have for each other.

Thank you Michelle Clay for the recommendation <3 ​
