Sarah added 'Shattered Reflections'

Sarah gave 4 stars to Shattered Reflections (Reflections #1) by S.K. Pryntz
I'll be honest, there was a very large chunk of this book where I was hella confused and questioning whether I was enjoying it or just reading to figure out what on earth was going on. Let me say I'm very glad I kept with it because the twist near the end got me. I was worried it was a certain trope thrillers often use that I am not a fan of, but was pleasantly surprised to discover it turned out to be something quite different. This was dark, brutal, and a damn good time chasing a couple serial K8llers around a city while they were going after each other. What a ride.

Sarah gave 4 stars to No Place to Hide (Havoc's Playground, #1) by Harper Ashley
I never know how to rate novella's because I always finish them wanting there to have been more while knowing the point of a novella is to be short, sweet and to the point. I think this is the first one I read where I finished thinking "well that was fun." It's one night that gives the whole thing a tangible time frame. One night of the fmc being stalked and chased by the mmc through the carnival he works with. There are like 30 triggers listed for this book but, honestly? I barely felt any of them (minus one star).

I read the 1 and 2 star reviews of this to see what makes me so fucked in the head that I loved this and was giddy over Jake?? It's very clearly my penchant for dark, triggering romances. This barely scrapes the surface of that compared to other things I've read. I was sucked in from the very beginning and actually felt my heart ache for Conor when she's ostracized and taken away from her home and the people she loves most after she is brutally raped in front of them as a teenager. What I wanted was Jake's POV during his time apart from Conor as he is unaliving people and discovering all the secrets their parents kept. I'm hoping we get more of a deep dive into that in the subsequent books.

Sarah added 'Cash'

Sarah gave 3 stars to Cash (Lucky River Ranch, #1) by Jessica Peterson
This fell a little flat for me. The plot was pretty slow and boring for the most part. What held me was the overall vibe and actual attention to detail when it came to ranch life. We actually get to see the cowboys cowboy, which I always appreciate. Also loved the country music references and that Cash seems to be (?) modeled after country singer Riley Green (go give him a Google and you'll get it.) I was hoping for a bit more conflict but I'm just used to reading dark romance that straight romances don't quite hit that bar anymore. However, I am thoroughly interested in hearing more about the other Rivers brothers and will continue with the series. Long live cowboys.
