I absolutely loved this. A dark, mafia romance with a twist of "The Little Mermaid". I adored Enzo and Venesa.
This is the longest book of the Never After Series and certainly one of the best. Clever and subtle hints to the beloved fairy tale but action-packed and gory. 4.5⭐️

What a page turner! I loved it!

This failed to grab me, I found it was just missing a little magic.

One of Freida's best! I couldn't put this down!
I thought I had this all worked out... I absolutely did not 🤣🤣 that twist was fantastic!

Awful writing style!

Not too bad for a short story.

A low pick for me. It was a bit slow, but I didn't see the twist coming!

Not on Litsy to review but my god, I didn't think it could get spicier than the first. I am SHOOK. Jade West did not hold back 😬😬😬

Oh. My. God.

My kindle is on fiiiiiiiiiire! 🥵🥵🥵 this steam is steaming.

Always intended to read this as I love the musical. I got the book for Christmas and I couldn't get past page 100. This was just not for me!

Utter perfection. I'm sad to have finished the series again.

I'm not sobbing, you are.

This gets me right in the feels every single time ???
The jigsaw starts to be put together, Harry starts to feel the pressure and burden of being " The Boy Who Lived" and we say goodbye to a much beloved character.

This is the best book in the series. It takes a huge dark turn!
I love the beginning of the book before Hogwarts as we don't go back to school until 1/4 into the book! I think it's criminal that the movie doesn't show much of Sirius as he becomes such a great godfather to Harry in GoF.
The scenes where Harry relives the graveyard to Sirius & Dumbledore, also Sirius & Mrs Weasley sitting by his bedside get me every time 🥺
Also, Dobby is back! 🥰

One of the best books in the entire series. I adore Remus Lupin, and my favourite character in the franchise is Sirius Black.

Forgot how much I loved this one! We meet some great characters in this novel, including Lucius Malfoy, Arthur Weasley, and of course... Dobby!

I needed to get out of my reading slump...
It doesn't even need a review, really, does it? An absolute classic.

Adorable and spicy. I'll never look at Santa the same way again 🤭

Oh, this was just gorgeous. 🥰🥹
I thought it would be a quick and predictable romance, but it wasn't.
6 people are stranded in Yorkshire in a snow storm and seek shelter in an isolated inn. One duo are meeting to sign their divorce papers, another duo are a CEO and his PA (who is in love with him) the final duo are a gay couple who are trying to make their last Christmas together magical.
I laughed and cried in equal measures. So wholesome 🎄❄️

A low pick for me. Not one of Freida's best. I called the twist very early on.

I really, really enjoyed this one! Freida's twists are absolutely wild 🤣 it's 50/50 whether or not I figure it out with her books but I didn't see this one coming!

The prettiest bridge ever. This always reminds me of fairytales or gothic novels every time I drive past. ❤️

Snow dawg. 💙

The only Graves Glen book i didn't like. I found it just didn't grab me!

I saw the end coming with this 🤣 I think I've read that much Freida McFadden books that I actually have her mindset going in now.
Still an enjoyable read which is perfectly paced. I always find FM's epilogues are wild. Just when you think everything is sorted.....BAM... epilogue... all goes west 🤣

This was cuuuuuute. Grumpy/Sunshine romance where the guy is the sunshine.
This hooked me straightaway.

I had fun reading this!
There was initially far too many characters for me to keep up with but it did all fall into place nicely. I loved the relationship between Amy and Steve but the absolute highlight of the entire book was Rosie! I just want to sit on a private jet with Rosie drinking Guinness and Tequila 🤣

Cute enough, but I found Penny rather annoying. Team Francesco all the way.
Also, huge thumbs up to LJW for creating a character who was a breast cancer survivor at 25. Check your boobs, ladies. ❤️

What a lovely and completely unique novel.

Set over 24 hours and entirely in a cafe that never closes, we have half the story told by Hannah and half told by Mona (two best friends) throughout the novel we meet a mix of different customers that all find themselves in the cafe at challenging and upsetting points in their lives. We hear their stories, too.

I really enjoyed this one.

Bail at 245. I cannot stand a single character and Kelk is trying far too hard to be funny. Awful. I'm having such a bad run of books recently!

I love M&S. I can confirm that this is one of the best things I've ever eaten 🤤🤤

Bailed at 77%. I couldn't find it in me to pick up and finish this. It was so, so boring. And I found Everly a total drip. I didn't rate this Cozy Creek at all!

G O R G E O U S!
This was like a hug from my kindle. I just want to live in Cozy Creek, it seems like such an amazing place to live. 🍂🎃🧡

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cuuuuuute AF. I love the characters in this, but it got kind of sickly sweet and repetitive in parts. Great spice, though 👌 I got major Stars Hollow vibes from this.
A great romance to read whilst curled up with a pumpkin spice latte. 🎃🧡🍂

Great palette cleanser for my reading slump.
A very honest book about motherhood, without the sunshine and rainbows. A very good book for any mother.

I'm in a real reading slump recently. I thought this might bring me out, but sadly, it didn't. I found this took me forever to finish 🤦‍♀️ I wouldn't rush to read anything by this author again. The spice was good, but the actual storyline was poor.

Caught the Northern Lights whilst taking the dog out last night. Stunning. 😍✨️

Criiiiiiiiinge

I liked the writing style and the plot. But I've never, ever hated a character (especially a child) more than I hate Sky 😂

I love a dark romance, and whilst I would never Yuck someone else's Yum. This was too much for me 🫣😧
The scenes are very, very intense. It did take away from any storyline. The main character isn't morally grey, he's morally black, and he is completely unlikable. Not one I'd recommend as it was very graphic, violent and so intense that I was wincing whilst reading. If you're about to read this, I would try not to go in blind, like I did 🤣

Adorable. Just like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls, with magic. 🧙‍♀️🧹🔮

Bail at 112. 🤮
I can not take ANYMORE. I would have loved this when I was 14 and in my Twilight era. Now? It's tripe.

And in today's episode of "What the fuck have I just read?!" ??

Was this messed up? Yes.
Should the trigger warnings be taken seriously? Yes.
Did I devour it in one sitting? Also, yes. ?

A pretty decent thriller. I did realise who'd done it very early on, but their motive wasn't what I was expecting.
3.5 ⭐️

Bail @ Page 110. I love the short chapters, but that's about it. There are far too many people's POV to keep up with it, in my opinion.

Brilliant fun.
A dark rom com that made me laugh out loud. Josh is absolutely hilarious.

This book is killing me 🤣🤣🤣

A low pick. A very unnecessary sequel with too many POV.
I find Henry to be a fascinating character, I could have read both books entirely from his perspective.

Not the thriller I was expecting, more a family drama. However, it was packed with action and intriguing characters. Lisa Jewell always delivers.
