Book review: The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

The Bodyguard by Katherine Center
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So this one gets 3.5 stars from me. The main girl? Totally relatable. I loved her voice, her messiness, and the way she handled things—felt very real and easy to root for. But the guy… eh. Not exactly the type that makes me go “oh my god I’m in love with him too.” He was fine, nice even, just not the swoonworthy type I personally fall for. Good for her though.

The pacing was a bit weird for me—just as the story started dragging and I found myself getting a little bored, it picked up again right near the end and pulled me back in. So yeah, overall, I ended up enjoying it. It’s not one of those romances that left me crying or running to hug the book, but it was sweet, fun, and worth the read. A comfortable 3.5 - 4 star kind of book.

Book review: Finale by Stephanie Garber

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The book is finally done. I took a long time because I was caught up with not finding it interesting enough because I was only waiting for jacks to appear over and over. Which was quite scarce. But by the second half I was interested in the book. The story finally made some sense. But yet again. Jacks and Evangeline will rule for me. Almost there but not quite, Scarlett I liked more than Donatella.

Book review: Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes

Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a cute one. I liked the rawness of emotions from the start, the way everything unfolds slowly and so realistically.
This is a read if you have been in an emotionally abusive relationship and don’t know how to put it words for other to make sense of what happened to you. And for you to realise how such small-small stuff can break you apart.
The highs and lows and the shear ‘meaninglessness’ of life is captured really well in this book. Looking forward to read more from Linda Holmes.

Book review: Spectacular by Stephanie Garber

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was short and fine. Not something to relate to much, since tells isn’t the one who is relatable for me. A halfway through the book it finally caught my attention and then it was just a game of half and hour for the novella. Just read it to complete my series of caraval.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Not something I was hoping to get. No long lasting impact in the story. Just a lot of fluff and gore. I guess I am not the demographic target for this book.

I liked Julian better. The only person I have been looking forward to reading more about was Jacks and he has such less mentions, or maybe not enough for me to be involved. Tella and I couldn’t relate. She’s just too spoilt for me to root for.
And Dante? Seriously.

Book review: Caraval by Stephanie Garber

Caraval by Stephanie Garber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I started this after reading the once upon a broken heart series. I was scared that this might not be as good as the OUABH but it was good. The writing style and details and the way the author describes things and feelings. Colours and smells. It’s always right amount of detail. I loved the story of Crimson girl.
