Oh my goodness this was so good! I was HOOKED. Gilmore Girls vibes, but BETTER. I will definitely read this again and I NEED books for other characters in this world.
I love these characters so much.

This was ridiculous (and I mean that as the HIGHEST compliment). Somehow Kimberly Lemming was able to put aliens, Tamagotchi, dinosaurs, a lion companion named Toto, and a smilodon together in a book and make it work. I loved this so much.
I was hooked from the first sentence. This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2025 and it did not disappoint. Kimberly's books are always a good time in my opinion.
The narrator did a fantastic job. I will likely read this book again in the future. I can see it becoming a comfort read for me.

Unapologetically nerdy. Unbelievably relatable. This was everything I look for in a YA romcom. Great found family too.
The audiobook was well done with great narration. I will definitely be reading more from this author

I loved this just as much as the other books in the series. These characters are amazing and getting to see their growth throughout the series has been so fun! The found family is fantastic and visiting this world again is always like a warm hug. The narrator knocked the audiobook out of the park yet again. I look forward to the narrator's work with these characters almost as much as I look forward to the plot.

I loved this book so much. The narrator did a fantastic job the entire time. The book had a slightly slow start to it, but I knew the payoff would be worth it so I stuck with it and got HOOKED eventually. This was a well done slow burn in my opinion.

I love this couple! I love all Ali Hazelwood books I've ever read (which is all of them except one novella-- which I will get to soon). This was no exception.

I was gifted a physical copy of this book by Eva Chase and Sav's Author Services. I also bought the audiobook with my own money and read approximately 75% of this book through audiobook format.
The audiobook was good, no complaints.
Eva Chase is a comfort author for me and I think my love of the Royals of Villain Academy series will always make me start out excited about an Eva Chase book which is absolutely true with this one. I enjoyed this book. It took me about 30% of the book to get fully sucked in, but then I was hooked and needed to know what happens. The ending had me completely SAT.
I'm definitely planning to continue reading this series.

I loved this book. Somehow a book with vampires and death was also very sweet and funny.
The audiobook was fantastic narration and I highly recommend it.

Idk how they managed to write a book that deals with grief after the loss of a sibling so well while also making it enjoyable and funny. I felt ALL the feelings. I loved this book so much. I highly recommend it.
The audiobook was fantastic and the narrator did a great job.

I was gifted a physical copy by the author. I voluntarily read this (partially via an audiobook from my library on Hoopla) and am leaving an honest review.
The audiobook narration was fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Everything I look for in a Christmas romcom.
I loved getting to see the meddling book club we feel in love with in the enchanted Highlands series too.
I can always count on Tricia to make us fall in love with an adorable animal friend.... Or two.
