The Haunted (The Hollow Trilogy Book 2) by Jessica Verday Review

I much preferred this book to The Hollow (book 1) as this book actually had a plot running throughout. I felt that with The Hollow it was to focused on the lead female's mental health issues, and as this is a paranormal romance series at heart that just wasn't what I was looking for. The Haunted had several convincing romantic parts, which I thought The Hollow was lacking as well.  

The characters were much more developed in this second book as well. I could see the personalities of each character better, which made for a smoother read. I could really only see the main character, her mother and the lead male character's personalities in The Hollow. There is an evil character revealed in this book and a mystery surrounding them. This really hooked me, as well as the romance, of course. The settings were still described really well. 

The next book has a plot on which to sustain itself as well, unlike book 2. I honestly feel as though book 2 is where the real story starts. You do have to read book 1 to understand the characters but please don't give up because you don't think it's very good as The Haunted makes me want to complete the trilogy. 

I give this book 4.5 stars because I didn't think the characters, plot or anything was really lacking. If anything the only slight downside was the beginning, where the lead female character still thought she had a mental problem but after that the book got so much better, almost straight away.

Rebound (The Pentagon Book 1) by Rosemary Rey Review

Hey ForeverBookers,  How are you all doing today? I hope you’re well!  I’ve just finished rereading Rebound by Rosemary Rey and I loved it! From recollection I loved it the first time I read it as well, about 5 years ago.  5 Stars! I read this for a few readathons: For Reading Rivalry - A book I think should be turned into a movie - I’d love to see this play out on television, actually but a movie is close enough.  For Litwits - A love story - that’s the central plot of Rebound and the whole Pentagon trilogy.  Literary Love Affair - Soulmate Love - Perla and Matt are what I class as realistic soulmates. Popsugar Reading Challenge 2019 - A book by an author whose first and last names start with the same letter - Rosemary Rey.  Rebound is set in America and is about an almost 30 year old woman, Perla Mercurio and a doctor, Matthias Keene who have a very passionate affair...do they fall in love??? You’ll have to read to find ...

  Hey ForeverBookers, How are you all? I hope you’re good!  I’ve just finished reading “The Cinnamon Bun Book Store” and I LOVED it! This will be a short review as “The Cinnamon Bun Book Store” is a quick and easy read.  4.5 Stars!  “The Cinnamon Bun Book Store” follows our FMC, Hazel who had a small part in “The Pumpkin Spice Cafe,” book 1 in the “Dream Harbor” series.

Noah, the younger MMC of the story helps her work out what they mean and all before her 30th birthday! She doesn’t feel like she’s had much of a life and regrets that.
