Amazingly Addictive, Satisfyingly Sweet, and So Adorably Sexy

reviewthoughts

The first book I read from this author was a vampire paranormal romance story, Blood Type. That book completely took my breath away and left me craving for more. When I saw the opportunity to read and review this duet, I didn’t hesitate one bit and immediately signed up. I just knew that I would enjoy it as much as Blood Type… and I absolutely did!

This book was EVERYTHING I had hoped it would be and more….SO MUCH MORE. K.A. Linde is without a doubt one of my favorite new authors this year and I am so utterly in love with her gorgeous and captivating writing style. I just cannot get enough of all the FEELS in her stories and this one definitely did not disappoint.

The Wright Love is such an achingly beautiful story about grief, family, friendship, hope and love. It’s incredibly well-written and the plot is well-paced with the perfect blend of angst, drama, humor and heart. And this book absolutely has HEART… and A LOT of it.

I loved Sutton and David. They were strong solid characters – likeable, genuine, realistic and really relatable. Their chemistry together was fantastic and I really enjoyed getting to know them as individuals, seeing their relationship progress, and swooning after every spine tingling moment and kiss. They were super adorable and so real that I couldn’t help but fall completely and head over heels in love with their story.

The supporting characters were really great too and I absolutely adored them. They each had their own quirks and were extremely likable. I also really enjoyed the awesome friendships, family dynamics and the bantering between the siblings was so endearing. I love reading about family relationships and this family… most definitely stole piece of my heart. I cannot wait to pick up the other Wright books and get to know them all.

This book was a delightful and entertaining read from start to finish. The Wright Love made my heart ache and filled it with hope and love at the same time. It’s amazingly addictive, satisfyingly sweet, and so adorably sexy. I loved every moment and cannot wait to see how Sutton and David’s story end.

If you enjoy stories with phenomenal writing, fantastic characters, realistic scenarios, amazing FEELS, and heartbreaking plot twists, then I highly suggest you pick this book up rigth now.

Happy Saturday loves! Are you doing anything special and fun for Mother’s Day Weekend? Who’s catching up on some reading? Well, whatever you have planned, I hope you have a wonderful time! As for me, my boyfriend and I are taking our puppy to the vet for her first check-up. Then, we’re having BBQ dinner for Mother’s Day tonight since my brother is coming over. Don’t know yet what we’re planning for Sunday, but I really want to get some R&R and catch up on my reading.

Anyway, let’s move on to some blogging business. Today, I’ll be sharing my review for Odd and True by Cat Winters. This book wasn’t really for me, but I did think some parts were very enjoyable and interesting.

Not my Cup of Tea, but Somewhat Enjoyable

aboutthebook2

PUBLISHER: AMULET BOOKS

RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMEBER 12, 2017

GENRE: YOUNG ADULT, HISTORICAL FICTION, PARANORMAL, FANTASY

HARDCOVER 368 PAGES

Trudchen grew up hearing Odette’s stories of their monster-slaying mother and a magician’s curse. But now that Tru’s older, she’s starting to wonder if her older sister’s tales were just comforting lies, especially because there’s nothing fantastic about her own life—permanently disabled and in constant pain from childhood polio.

In 1909, after a two-year absence, Od reappears with a suitcase supposedly full of weapons and a promise to rescue Tru from the monsters on their way to attack her. But it’s Od who seems haunted by something. And when the sisters’ search for their mother leads them to a face-off with the Leeds Devil, a nightmarish beast that’s wreaking havoc in the Mid-Atlantic states, Tru discovers the peculiar possibility that she and her sister—despite their dark pasts and ordinary appearances—might, indeed, have magic after all.

Odd and True by Cat Winters was truly an odd, but somewhat enjoyable paranormal story.

So, this book and me… didn’t really get along that much and I had an incredibly difficult time getting into the story. I was fascinated with the premise and the first few chapters were okay and quite interesting… However, I found myself frustrated with the plot, which was dragging, that I just had to stop and put the book on hold for a while. I probably tried 3-4 times before I was actually able to finish.

To be honest, this wasn’t entirely boring or a “bad” book. The concept of the story was intriguing and there were a few parts that I really enjoyed. The paranormal aspects were sprinkled here and there, and while they really didn’t hold my interest, I still liked exploring the world the author created. I thought the family backstory was absolutely great and I really liked the relationship between Od and Tru. Actually, that’s my favorite part of this book. The strong relationship between the sisters was what really kept me reading.

I had a rough start with Odd and Tru, but overall, I did kind of enjoy the story. Some books are truly meant to be while others not so much. Odd and True just wasn’t my cup of tea, but it could be yours. If you’re into creepy, weird, and dark stories, then I think you might have fun with this book.

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