Review: Ignite - Rebecca Yarros

Review: Ignite - Book 0.7 Legacy Series - Rebecca Yarros - July 2016 Sometimes you just know what your reading soul needs. After powering through a week of dense literary fiction and pulse-pounding thrillers that left my brain feeling like scrambled eggs, I found myself standing before my bookshelf on a Friday evening, craving something entirely different. My fingers landed on Ignite, a slim novella that had been sitting patiently since a fellow bookstagrammer gifted it to me months ago. Rebecca Yarros wrote this Legacy series entry back in 2016, and while I shamefully admit to still having her wildly popular romantasy novels gathering dust on my shelf (despite buying them on release day like the devoted reader I pretend to be), I've devoured nearly all of her contemporary romances. There's something about Rebecca Yarros's writing that feels like slipping into a warm bath after a long day—comforting, rejuvenating, with just enough edge to keep things interesting. Ignite i...

Review: Great and Precious Things - Rebecca Yarros

Review: Great and Precious Things - Rebecca Yarros - February 2020 Rebecca Yarros has yet to disappoint me when it comes to her romance novels, and while I'm still working my way through her catalog (yes, Fourth Wing is on my list—I promise I'll get there as a somewhat fantasy fan!), I decided to tackle another one from my ever-growing physical TBR pile. I snagged this gem secondhand from Facebook Marketplace, and honestly, it couldn't have come at a better time. Lately, life has been pulling me in different directions, and I haven't been in the headspace for romance reads. But something about Great and Precious Things just hit differently. I finished it with this overwhelming "WOW" feeling that reminded me of walking out of the cinema after watching A Star is Born with Lady Gaga—you know that powerful, emotionally stirring sensation that's hard to put into words but stays with you for days. The story follows Cal, who returns home after six years in th...

Review: The Things We Leave Unfinished - Rebecca Yarros

Review: The Things We Leave Unfinished - Rebecca Yarros - February 2021 Before Rebecca Yarros took the world by storm with her Dragons and Romantasy series, she had written quite a few romance novels with a military background due to her family's knowledge of her husband in the military. Determined to continue clearing my print bookshelf, I grabbed this one which had been sent to me by a fellow bookstagrammer. This book gave me strong Nicholas Sparks vibes and I felt it could be likened to The Notebook with Allie and Noah's love being similar to Scarlett and Jameson's and then also Dear John with the letter writing and the military twist. Georgia's great-grandmother who raised her was famous for her romance novels and was like a fictional Danielle Steel. She has now died and Georgia on the end of a marriage divorce has returned home as she inherited everything in her Gran's will. She arrives home to discover her mother has pretended to be her and hired male novelist...

Review: The Last Letter - Rebecca Yarros

Review: The Last Letter - Rebecca Yarros - February 2019 I wasn't sure what to expect from this book as, to be honest, it's one I had wanted to read but had been putting it off as figured it was one of those heartwrenching stories where you had to be in the right frame of mind. The story starts with Ella writing to Chaos, aka Beckett in the army, he is best friends with Ella's brother. The pair of them start writing to each other, and she becomes Chaos's shining light and over the months of writing the couple start to feel a connection and possibly love for one another. That is until Ella stops receiving letters and discovers that her brother has been killed in action. At the same time, she is under the strong impression that Chaos died too as to why else would he stop writing to her? The thing is he is alive but not as well as he should be. He has received a "last letter" from his best friend telling him to go to their small town and to ...

  Review: 1984 : Against all Odds - Book #5 Love in the 80's Series - Rebecca Yarros - May 2016 Before the music industry ruled both of their lives, two teenagers fell in love, Sabrina Caroline, and Hawke Owens. The two were heavily in love and thought the world of one another, and they complimented each other's musical talents, and then reality and fame hit breaking the pair apart. Now years later, Sabrina is America's Pop Sweetheart and is making her comeback from having a year off. There are rumors circulating, but the truth is she hates performing in front of people and gets bad stage anxiety.  Hawke Owens's band Birds of Prey are climbing the charts fast and hard, and now they are the top band around, and everyone wants a piece of them. Now Sabrina is being forced into a collaboration project with Birds of Prey. Will the pair be able to work together especially with their jagged history? Can the musical pair make their rom...
