So, in all honesty I found these characters very annoying. All of the main characters just annoyed me.

So many people have reviewed this book. I know. 

It was a unique romance and beautiful love story. That Bree was able to be the light for Archer is amazing. Especially when so many had ignored him. It shows how you need to give people a chance and not make assumptions.

This was good. Still very dark. The brothers are some menacing guys. Willow i like but sometimes she can be a little much. A few things were predictable.

5.0

This was a gripping novel. It's told in 3rd person POV and has no chapters so you do need to be aware of this. However, I was captivated by the story. 
The boy and the man were doing all they could to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. One where you never know what's around the next corner. Your goal is to keep moving and keep surviving!

I wouldn't say it's totally funny. There are a few funny parts. It was an interesting memoir in essays. Not quite what I was expecting.

 Cutesy. Short, novella that takes place mainly in Las Vegas. So, you can imagine what might happen there. Easton and Maya have a whirlwind romance. 

This is not my favorite Sarah A. Bailey novel. It's good, but seemed a little clichè.

It's a caper. I liked it but wasn't pulled in fully. I got bored at different points.

This was a great novel.  I loved the romance between Val and Maeve. It was  beautifully crafted and in a way that had you grasping for more.

This was a fascinating read. I decided to read it first in the series for background knowledge. I found Celaena to be a diverse character who is flawed but she's growing. I see potential in her. She definitely went though a lot just in these five short novellas.
