Troubles In Paradise: A Review

-
Hi friends!

Elin Hilderbrand does it AGAIN. I literally adore all of her books. Her writing is so good, her stories are so sweet, and her characters are seriously the most relatable and the best. 

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read her newest book, and the final installment in her newest trilogy, Troubles In Paradise coming out in October. Usually I wait to read these until it's closer to publication, but Elin is my favorite author and I was so shocked and excited to be given a chance to review this, that I picked it up IMMEDIATELY. 



Let me start off by saying that I LOVED at the end how Elin connected one of her Winter Street series characters to a main character in this trilogy.

This is the third and final installment in the Paradise trilogy.

These characters are so compelling and relatable, that you can't help but love them. The Steele family will always be close to my heart, and I am sad to see that their story has ended but happy that they all are happy. I would love to see some sort of spin-off with these characters in the future because I am curious of what is to come for our beloved characters.

The story itself picks up right where the second installment left off. The second book was not my favorite, but this one quickly warmed it's way into my heart and really impressed me as a finale. It was action-packed, while also having Elin's enchanting scenary, impressive romance, and a little bit of mystery. It was nice to see how the mystery itself was wrapped up. Usually Elin focuses heavily on the romance, so it was nice to see her weave that into a bit of a mystery. 

This book is simply magical and transports you to a summery setting. I found myself missing the beach a lot while reading this and making a mental note to myself that not only do I need to check out Nantucket, but St. John as well. Elin's writing is so descriptive that I could picture many different places of the setting that she has woven together based on reality and fiction. 

Overall, this was an impressive wrap up and really brought closure to the story line and it's characters. I don't think that it could have been written any other way.

Overall rating: 5 Stars

Color Me In: A BiRacial Story Set During A Trying Time

Hi Friends! I support #BLM (Black Lives Matter) and the movement that is occurring in our country right now in response to George Floyd's murder. As a white female, I recognize that I have privileges that my friends of color do not have. In order to increase my understanding and education, I have dedicated this month to reading books on my TBR that deal with race, and are written by authors of color. My hope is that through literature I can understand more of the struggles that those of color face, and educate myself.  The book that I started with is a debut novel that came out in 2019, and was a pick of mine from Book of the Month. That book is Color Me In by Natasha Diaz.  I want to start by saying that I enjoyed Ms. Diaz's author's note in the back of the book as she spoke about being a biracial woman herself, the struggles she has faced and how she feels she cannot remain silent. A quote from that portion that stuck out to me was:  "I wanted to talk about how thes...

A Witchy Review!

HI FRIENDS! Welcome back! Today I have a fun review for you and it's about WITCHES... (hence the corny title of this post).  Today I will be reviewing This Coven Won't Break by Isabel Sterling. This is the SEQUEL to her debut novel, These Witches Don't Burn that was released in May of 2019. If you haven't read the first book, that's fine! Though you may be confused about the content I am reviewing, I will be describing both stories and going into a spoiler-free review. Let's start off by admiring this GORGEOUS cover!  This series follows our main character, Hannah, who lives in Salem, MA (how fitting). Hannah is an Elemental, which is a type of Witch. There are three different witches, or clans, as they are called. The types of witches are Elementals, Blood Witches and Casters. Those without magic are called regs (hello Muggles). The Elementals get their magic from the Earth's elements (water, air, ground and fire) and can manipulate those. Blood Witches a...
