This gripped me from the very start and kept me interested throughout with it's intriguing mystery, eerie tone, creepy setting, and fantastic audiobook narration by Richard Armitage. Unfortunately, the ending was a big letdown that didn't make any sense, so that lowered my overall rating....more

I mainly read the Shadow and Bone trilogy before this to have a better understanding of the world-building, and I'm glad I did because I think it helped my enjoyment of this book. I thought the Shadow and Bone trilogy was interesting, but it felt too YA for me in some ways. I also didn't like the characters.
That isn't the case at all with Six of Crows. The story is a multifaceted, dark, intriguing, action-packed fantasy with villains, brutal violence, some road-trip buddy moments, a prison break, a heist, and subtle romance. Even though the ages of the main characters make it fall into the YA category, they don't act like typical YA characters and seem much older. They're all complex, brave, strong, and broken or tortured in some way. I loved them all, especially Kaz and Inej. (view spoiler)[And I'm really hoping for a happy ending for them all in the second book. (hide spoiler)]...more

I usually love Kristin Hannah's books, but this was just an okay read. None of the characters were very likeable, and it's too melodramatic. The main reason I didn't enjoy this story is because I absolutely hated the oldest sister, Winona. She's an insufferable, miserable harpy, and I had zero sympathy for her. She totally ruined the book for me....more
This is a beautiful, emotional story about finding yourself again and the healing power of love in all i5 stars - Women's Fiction/Contemporary Romance
This is a beautiful, emotional story about finding yourself again and the healing power of love in all its forms with a tender, touching romance at the heart of it. The book needed better editing because there wasn't any spacing/separation breaks for paragraphs that started new content or change in time/scene/location. I also wanted more from the ending. I would've loved a couple more chapters and/or an epilogue showing (view spoiler)[Annie, Nick, Izzy, and baby Katie's life together in Mystic and with them spending time with Natalie and Hank all as a family. (hide spoiler)] Still, I was deeply moved by this heartrending and heartwarming story. 5 stars!...more

This is such a heartwarming and utterly delightful feel-good romance, and I savored and loved every word of it! It’s basically a historical romance remake of the movie Pretty Woman except the heroine is a feisty French ballerina in need of money instead of a prostitute.
I couldn’t get enough of the witty banter and explosive chemistry between outwardly cold-hearted, aloof Lysander and spirited, outspoken Neve. Their romance was absolutely swoon-worthy! I also loved the secondary characters, Lysander’s spinster aunt and the group of friends that take Neve under their wing. I hope we get romances for the other women in the Taming of the Dukes club.
I listened to the audiobook, and Mary Jane Wells’s narration is fabulous and truly brought the book to life. She does such a wonderful French accent for Neve and gives all the characters distinct voices. I truly loved listening to this one.
This was me every single word and every single minute of this book! *dreamy sigh* Big 5 stars!
