This series remains composed of two very distinctive romances, illustrative of two very different couples and the emotional and sexual dynamics within them. Now, being a much-coveted sequel to a story that had already set a remarkable tone to the series as a whole, I honestly never thought this book could live up to my own high expectations of it, yet it somehow not only met them-it hit them out of the ballpark. Holy cow, what a mind-blowing thrill this series has been! I can’t remember the last time I read two books so quickly and so obsessively, glued onto the pages like nothing else in the world mattered, but when a story is this gripping and the writing is this good, nothing could ever peel me away from it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The difference is that on graphic novels, I’ll be focusing on four aspects: plot, characters, art style, and the overall impact!Ĭharlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Of course, it would still be a non-spoilery type of review. I thought that instead of doing my usual format of doing books reviews, I’m changing the way I’m going to review a graphic novel. I’m addicted, and I have yet to read a lot of graphic novels in my collection of books! Y’all don’t know how much I’m swooning for all the graphic novels I have read for the past couple of days. ![]() We will be talking about Alice Oseman’s ‘Heartstopper’ So far, Volume 1 is the only which has been released so will be discussing about it~ Today’s blog post will be so different for me since it’s my first time doing a graphic novel review.

And his seductive touch ignites a passion she’s never allowed herself to feel and cannot feel for him. I read the first two books in the Blood & Ash series and. Until the Primal of Death’s unexpected words and deeds chase away the darkness gathering inside her. This is the first book in the Flesh & Fire series, and it sounds fantastic. A specter never fully formed yet drenched in blood. ![]() If she fails, she dooms her kingdom to a slow demise at the hands of the Rot. Make the Primal of Death fall in love, become his weakness, and then…end him. However, Sera’s real destiny is the most closely guarded secret in all of Lasania-she’s not the well protected Maiden but an assassin with one mission-one target.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook from start to finish. The story was very well written.very emotional - both the writing and performances. What did you love best about Pushing the Limits? I would definitely recommend this book to both adults and young adults, as it combined a sufficiently realistic high school feel with mystery (what happened to Echo), heart wrenching drama (Noah's need for his family) and flashes of humor as the story unfolded.Īn Emotional Rollercoaster Ride - Great Story! The soothing, yet angsty timbre of his voice was a perfect complement to Tara Sand's Echo. MacLeod Andrews never disappoints when voicing young, male characters and his portrayal of Noah was sufficiently sexy yet vulnerable and even had me wiping away a tear at the end. ![]() ![]() She sounded a lot like Kat Denning to me. There were times I found Tara Sand's voice a bit grating at times, but her pacing and emotion would soon sink me back into the story. The back and forth narration format allowed me to connect strongly with both Echo and Noah, and watching them help and heal each other in the context of their family issues was satisfying. Touching teen romance with suspenseful dramaĪs a mother of teenagers I like to read young adult novels, and Pushing the Limits kept me riveted and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book, couldn't put it down. ![]() |
