synopsis

Adaline Frost’s life officially sucks. Now that her BFF has found her true love, Addy is constantly stuck being the third wheel. On top of that, she hasn’t started her junior project yet, so her advisor pairs her up with what could only be described as the “Reject Breakfast Club.” Instead of the weirdo and the troublemaker, Addy is forced to work with two stoners, a popular girl, and her crush, Austin Reed, the jock who broke her heart.

Austin Reed is sick of being labeled “dumb jock.” If he doesn’t get an A on this project, he can kiss his future goodbye. Austin thought he’d gotten lucky being partners with the very nerdy Adaline Frost, but boy was he wrong. Addy jumps down his throat about his being late and calls him names like “manwhore” on the daily. She has no idea Austin works before and after school in order to help his mom with the bills. Yeah, he’s made mistakes and has had lots of girlfriends, but he doesn’t need Adaline Frost to remind him of it every time he sees her.

Can Austin and Addy ever be a thing?

Entertaining enough to hold my interest

3halfhearts (1)

It’s been a while since I read the second book in the Offsides Series, so it took a while to remember some details about the other characters. But it’s no big deal. It didn’t really affect my reading experience cause these books can be read as a standalone. I actually haven’t even read the first book and I never really felt like I was missing important details or anything.

Like Right Kiss Wrong Guy, Right Girl Wrong Timing by Natalie Decker was a fun and entertaining story. The writing style was easy to read and engaging. The plot was fast-paced and amusing and gave me one crazy emotional whiplash. I liked the chemistry between Austin and Adaline, but sometimes I just wanted to shake them. The hot and cold and all the back and forth made me feel quite exasperated. I liked the push and pull and it was fun, but there were times that I just didn’t quite understand the emotional outbursts. Austin and Adaline just kept making assumptions about each other and getting into arguments. It was annoying and so ridiculously chaotic that I found it amusing. The ending felt a bit rushed, but I thought what Austin did for Adaline was super adorable and romantic. There were defintely some swoons and I was quite satisfied with how everything turned out.

The characters were interesting. Even if I was frustrated with them, I thought they were quite realistic and acted their age. Austin and Adaline seemed whiney at times, but they just reacted and behaved like most angsty teenagers would. I can’t really fault them for that. Jared and Tyler were great friends to Austin and I liked that they were always there for him. Really great cast that you may not always like, but they’re pretty entertaining and charming in their own ways.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. There was bickering, drama, misunderstanding, ridiculous teenage angst, amazing friendships, delicious kisses, and swoony moments that managed to hold my interest until the very end. It wasn’t spectacular or anything, but it was an entertaining and fun story that made me laugh and drove me crazy… in a good way.

I received an advance reader copy of this book from the publisher and Chapter by Chapter Blog Tours in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

aboutbook

Two Thousand Years
M. Dalto
(The Empire Saga #1)
Publication date: December 11th 2018
Genres: Fantasy, New Adult

Two thousand years ago, the Prophecy of Fire and Light foretold the coming of the Queen Empress who would lead the Empire into a time of peace and tranquility. But instead of the coming of a prosperous world, a forbidden love for the Empress waged a war that ravaged the land, creating a chasm between the factions, raising the death toll of innocent lives until the final, bloody battle.

Centuries later, Alexandra, a twenty-two-year-old barista living in Boston, is taken to an unfamiliar realm of mystery and magic where her life is threatened by Reylor, its banished Lord Steward. She crosses paths with Treyan, the arrogant and seductive Crown Prince of the Empire, and together they discover how their lives, and their love, are so intricately intertwined by a Prophecy set in motion so many years ago.

Alex, now the predestined Queen Empress Alexstrayna, whose arrival was foretold by the Annals of the Empire, controls the fate of her new home as war rages between the Crown Prince and Lord Steward. Either choice could tear her world apart as she attempts to keep the Empire’s torrid history from repeating itself. In a realm where betrayal and revenge will be as crucial to her survival as love and honor, Alex must discover whether it is her choice – or her fate – that determines how she survives the Empire’s rising conflicts.

An Addictive and Magically Entertaining Tale that Captured My Heart

4halfhearts

An addictive and magically entertaining read, Two Thousand Years by M. Dalto had me glued to the pages from the very beginning and left me wanting more in the end.

I’m over the moon in love with this book and had so much fun. Aside from some minor hiccups here and there, I thought Dalto created a uniquely alluring world, a thrilling adventure, and fantastic characters that not only captured my interest, but also my heart. Her writing style was effortlessly intriguing and engaging. The plot was fast-paced and delightfully entertaining. It had the perfect mix of suspense, action, drama, twists, and humor that had me relentlessly flipping through the pages. The characters were interesting and perfectly flawed. They did their fair share of annoying me, but overall I really did like Alex and Treyan and yes even the villain Reylor. I also really liked the romance. Even if there were a few cheesy moments, I still thought it was utterly swoony and cute. Okay, some parts did make me cringe a little, but most were definitely sweet and adorable. As for the ending, well I can’t say I liked it cause it totally crushed my heart, but it absolutely had me feeling excited about what will what happen next.

Overall, Two Thousand Years was such a joy to read. I was fascinated by the concept of the story, engrossed in the action and drama, and completely smitten with the romance that I didn’t even realize how late I stayed up reading. I enjoyed the world-building, the fantastic plot, the lovable characters, the humor and the feels. It truly was a fun and entertaining book and I would recommend this to anyone in a heartbeat.

I received an advance reader copy of this book from the publisher and Xpresso Book Tours in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
