I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated by the author, and I think it had a huge impact rather than having someone else read his story. Addiction (the big terrible thing) is a nasty disease. I’m sure we’ve all had someone we love who has had an addiction struggle and it’s extremely hard to watch that person throw everything away. This story had me hooked and crying by the end. I’m so sorry, Matthew. Your life deserved to be so much more....more
Meh. Not my cup of tea. I will need to re-read this at some point and invest more time in really paying attention to it. I get that it’s supposed to bMeh. Not my cup of tea.

Wow. I never really had any intentions on reading this one since I didn't fully know what it was about. But I was looking for something to listen to dWow. I never really had any intentions on reading this one since I didn't fully know what it was about. But I was looking for something to listen to during the workday and this happened to fit the bill. I got the audio book version (my first ever) and I feel like having it read by the author had more impact than if I had read it myself. It is horrible to hear what Jennette went through - not only as a child, but even into her young adult life. This was well written and fast-paced....more

I actually enjoyed the storyline, but man, the punctuation and spelling errors were too distracting. I agree with most of the reviewers - it’s like this was a draft of the novel and no one edited the book whatsoever. Such a shame....more

There was so much about it that had me hooked and I couldn't wait to get to the bottom of the investigation. But the story just ended. No resolution. No actual ending to this story. I'm not sure how the story could possibly even finish because it's set around Halloween and the next story in this series in set at Christmas. I'm pretty bummed about this one....more

It took me forever to finish this short book because of all the descriptive language and my brain had to really wrap around everything. I would say that the first half of the book was super slow, but that last half was interesting and captivating....more

The murder mystery. The unique powers. Umm, hello shadow daddy. I definitely could have blown through this book much faster, but I started reading it during a busy time in my life. This book was so well-written and Ellis uses such beautiful language. There were so many twists and turns and it had me audibly gasping with shock. I did not read Ellis’ first book yet - I believe these act as standalones within the same universe. It sounds like we may have a third book to look forward to?!...more
I truly wish I could have given this one more stars - unfortunately, it just didn't do it for me. I had a hard time connecting with the main characterI truly wish I could have given this one more stars - unfortunately, it just didn't do it for me. I had a hard time connecting with the main characters. There was not much character development after the 5-year time jump. I feel like there were a lot of details that were missing which may have given these characters a bit more depth. I don't know... I didn't get the true romance, spice, drama... Besides that, some of the actual writing got under my skin. It felt like the characters were narrating rather than thinking their thoughts....more
I am ready to read Jude's second book in this series! There were so many things I loved about Supernova. The friendships created in Ready for book #2!
I am ready to read Jude's second book in this series! There were so many things I loved about Supernova. The friendships created in this world are just lovely. I was so grateful to read about this dynamic girl trio and the support they all provide each other. Supernova gives off a bit of a Divergent vibe - and I love it! The chemistry between the two main characters is insane. I got so caught up in their private moments and actually appreciated the fade to black scene endings. Overall, I'd say this was one heck of a book. I'm hoping we will see even more character development from the supporting characters. I want to know more about everyone!...more
Oh my goodness. This book was insane. I was fearful, angry, sad, horrified. I don't think I've ever hated a book character more. Hooked from the start
Oh my goodness. This book was insane. I was fearful, angry, sad, horrified. I don't think I've ever hated a book character more. I cannot get enough of this storyline and I'm so excited to know that it continues. Stone's writing is captivating and informational. I'm hooked....more
