WHAM BAM – SHOCKER AHEAD! Sneaky author who leads you slowly and brilliantly to the edge and then pushes you over. Another brilliant stunner from Colleen Hoover!

You can always expect the unexpected from this author. I never know what I’m going to find when I crack open the latest from the talented writing voice of Hoover. Since she emerged on the literary scene, she has continued to deliver creative tales that push the boundaries, and this time she has catapulted into a whole other realm. Beware ...more

This is not your average Colleen Hoover book friends. She went over to the paranormal side and I love it!!⁣

Leeds is playing bass for a semi popular modern country band that he couldn’t stand. They are playing at a wedding when he spots this incredibly beautiful woman that dances so ungraceful, moving like she’s listening to something completely different than everyone else. She does it with no inhibition and Leeds is awestruck with admiration. It was love at first sight. Layla is just what Leeds needs to bring him out of his in limbo existence. So just like that they are inseparable from the time they met and all seemed perfect. Until a horrible tragedy struck. Trying to get back on track and heal from their wounds Leeds books the abandoned bed and breakfast where they first met at Layla’s sisters wedding. You would think it would be the perfect romantic getaway. But they weren’t factoring in on Willow, an unannounced occupant. So there’s that and Layla’s mood changes since the accident seemed to be even more enhanced at the house. And their romantic vacation that was supposed to bring them back together seems to be tearing them further apart instead.⁣
Leeds is starting to piece together that he knows how to fix what’s going on with Layla and himself and help Willow, the other occupant ⁣
at the same time. If he puts his plan into action he could fix everything going wrong between them but if things go wrong he could lose her for good and take Willow down as well. ⁣
⁣
I was hooked from word one! Colleen Hoover is an excellent author that sucks you into what ever she writes and Layla is no different. The genre is not the norm of what she usually writes but she did an excellent job and I never would have known otherwise. And to be honest I didn’t catch on to exactly what was going on until much later into the book, which speaks volumes because I tend to get a vibe right away and kind of figure things out early on. ⁣
⁣
There was a point where I got a bit annoyed with Layla’s antics towards the end. I thought that could have went a little smoother but that is literally the only problem I have with the book.⁣
It was fresh, interesting and I was rooting for Leeds all the way! ...more

Leeds, Layla, Willow.

This story took my emotions on a rollercoaster. I loved Leeds, and then I deeply disliked him. I thought I knew what was happening, then I was surprised by the twist.

This was a romance of a sort with paranormal elements. Overall I enjoyed what I read, but my feelings with the way Leeds handled this situation between the 3 of them just didn't let me get back to being completely happy with him by the end.

He was a very flawed "hero" indeed and in deed. By the time they got ba ...more

This book was completely nuts! I should have kept a log of how many times I said “wtf” “what the actual fuck is happening” out loud.

Colleen Hoover is an evil genius. I love her twisty side just as much as her romantic side and somehow this book managed to make me randomly exclaim “omg wtf” out loud and simultaneously make me swoon...how?! 🤯
Seriously this review isn’t going to get any more coharant because my mind is completely blown.

Read this book. Right now! Don’t wait!

Eww..

I've read some shady, cheesy Paranormal books and I usually love it every time. So, I could have enjoyed this awkward, cheesy Paranormal romance too if it wasn't for the hundreds of pages of Leeds being an absolute garbage human being. I felt no sympathy for him and was properly yucked out for most of this book. ...more
