The Resurrection of Wildflowers by Micalea Smeltzer

The Resurrection of Wildflowers by Micalea Smeltzer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed book one and wanted to see what would happen. This does pick up around six years after book one ended. It was pretty good, but it is exactly like you would expect the story to go. There were some sad moments thrown in as well as some aww moments which made it a decent read.

I also like how the author captures co-parenting in this and did not turn Caleb into a villain.

Overall, I do agree that this could have all been in one book instead of a two book series. I still enjoyed it though and am adding Micalea Smeltzer as a author to read more from.

Blind Side by Kandi Steiner

Blind Side by Kandi Steiner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Kandi Steiner is an auto-buy author for me. Sadly, I felt about this one around how I felt with Fair Catch.

I felt Giana was very immature for her age. I do not feel just because someone is a virgin that they have to be that immature in other aspects. I do not know. I just did not connect with her at all.

I did really love Clay though! I also like that he has some family issues going on. I wish they were a little deeper as they did not bring the emotion to the story that I would have liked to have had.

I enjoyed this but it just did not stand out compared to others for me.

Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier

Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was sent this book from NetGalley. My ratings and reviews will be my own personal opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may have sent me books to review.

Jennier Hillier is a must read and buy for me. I was so excited to get an early copy of Things We Do in the Dark. This does have triggers for murder, drug abuse, and child abuse. However; there is limited details around them but could be triggering to some.

This started off a little slow for me after the initial events. I had a hard time picking it back up. I am so glad that I decided to pick it back up and push through as once I started part two, I never put this back down.

This is almost two different stories told in different parts. Of course, they all connect and I knew that but it was still reading like two different stories. I was enjoying both the story with Drew as well as Paris though so I did not mind. I really love the twists along the way on how they really do connect though.

Overall, I really ended up enjoying this one. JH never disappoints.

When the Day Comes by Gabrielle Meyer

When the Day Comes by Gabrielle Meyer


I was sent this from the publisher. This does not and will not effect my review.

Sadly, I could just not get into this one. I tried several times. I think it was more of me thing though, as I am a mood reader. I think I want to pick this up on audio in the future as I think I would enjoy it more listening.

For me, I did not finish this one.

Unmissing by Minka Kent

Unmissing by Minka Kent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one was much better than I was expecting. It is pretty slow moving, but still was able to capture my attention throughout the whole story.
This has a few twists and turns that I did not see coming. The first big reveal was great, but could have been delivered a little better. It was very anti-climatic and was almost thrown in. I was completely caught off guard with the slower pace reveal. The second was the same, but still had me saying out loud something about what we found it.
I did find the ending a little abrupt. Everything happened in the end very fast and it did not have a full complete ending. However; I still really enjoyed this one and want more from this author.

The Catch by Lisa Harris

The Catch by Lisa Harris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the US Marshals series. I have previously read book one, but had not read book three. I was still able to read this one even without reading book two. I would not recommend reading this one first though as it is the conclusion from the other two books.

I really enjoyed the twist and turns that were involved in this one. I am not normally a huge fan of detective reads, but Harris does a great job with her storytelling to pull you in.

Overall, I really enjoyed this series and look forward to reading more from this author.
