Review:

This isn't the first book I have read by this author. They Went Left was the first one I read. I read this one with a group of people. I really enjoyed it very much. It was as emotionally gripping. Once I realized she was the author of They Went Left, I totally understood that. I actually learned a lot about the time period this is set in. It's been a year, so I can't really remember the names, but I remember the story itself. I remember the woman who was looking for a girl for a person she made deliveries to. She was part of a resistance group. The whole group was so brave. Especially the one that was gay and in a relationship in secret. I recommend this book. I plan to read other books by this author as well.

Review:

When I first got this book, I was eager to read it. I am always wanting to learn as much about history and other countries as I can. I did have concerns about it going over my head. I was convinced I'd have to do a lot of research and ask a friend of mine many questions to fully understand. I was wrong. This book was very easy to follow along and understand. I actually hope to read it again to make notes and annotations on parts that really jump out at me. I do recommend this book to anybody that has an interest in history and nonfiction books. It's really good and well worth the read.

Important to Note: Nonfiction. Violence. Real World Issues.

Review:

I have read other books by this author that I really loved. I really enjoyed them very much. I'm not going to lie, I was really nervous to get into this book. I worried for no reason. This book was just as good as the series that I read and loved. Actually, I think it might have been better. I'm so looking forward to reading the sequel to this book! I was a bit confused at the beginning. I was thinking that part of it was in the past. I mean technically it was, but I am referring to like fifty or more years in the past. Not a decade or so. That's a me thing not a bad writing thing. This author has a wonderful writing style. I will definitely be buying other books from her in the future.

Important to Note: Violence and murder.

Review:

This story is very dark, but it's very alluring. I enjoyed every moment of it. I got the book from Owlcrate. This month was the readalong for it. I'm glad that I subscribed to Owlcrate. If I didn't, I wouldn't have found as many wonderful books as I have. This book being one of them. This book was intense as well. I both predicted and was blown away by all the twists. There were things I predicted and things I didn't. Even the things I predicted came as a shock because it was different than what I predicted! This book is definitely worth the read. Please keep in mind that it is a bit dark.

Important to Note: Contains violence.

BUT WHY

Revisado: 04-14-22

I don't understand why it's over! What am I going to do now? I think the only way to cure my broken heart is to read the Paranormal of Avynwood series all over again! If you want a series and trilogy that will suck you in and leave you aching to get back into that world, these are the books for you!

I love the fact that there was more story packed into this one. I'm still very glad that I read the series before I read the trilogy. Even though the trilogy should have been read first. I don't think I would have liked the characters I love half as much if I read it the proper way! That would have been sad!

OMG!

So I have to be completely honest. I read the Paranormals of Avynwood before I read this trilogy. I didn't know about the trilogy to be honest. I'm kind of glad that I read the series first. Yes, it spoiled a lot of the trilogy for me. However, I love Ari so so so so much and I think if I had read this first I would have found her annoying at the beginning. Just saying. MAJOR CLIFFHANGER!!!!

I feel like I understand Will a lot better than I did before. I've always been a really big fan of his. I think he's funny and smart. I also think he has a lot of talent. This makes me want to go buy everything that he's ever been a part of just to have it. It will definitely be looked at with a new light now.

Review:

Story: I really enjoyed this story. It was a very quick read. Personally, I would have liked to see it longer. However, I do understand that this is a children's book. It's understandably short. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Characters: I got a little confused with all of the character names. I also didn't really connect with any of them if I'm being honest. That isn't to say that I didn't like them. I just didn't find them very relatable to me. I also feel like a few of the characters were just a little two-dimensional.
Critiques: None
Narration: It was pretty great. Nothing really memorable stands out to me either good or bad.
Final Thoughts: I wasn't expecting to really get sucked into this book the way I did. I really enjoyed it very much. I don't know when I'll be able to get to the rest of the series. I am definitely looking forward to it though.

Really adorable and completely all over the face. I would advise the person not to zone out at all during this book or you may have to rewind. Other than that, it's definitely worth the read.
