When a trip into the city goes wrong, Avalon must find the courage to help a stranger.

Avalon Clementine was born from dragon blood, but having just turned fifteen, she’s still struggling to master even a small part of her air magic.

When she ventures into the city with her friend, Jericho, to watch a match between the hellhounds and white tigers, nothing goes right.

Instantly, they’re separated, and Avalon finds herself alone in a place she’s not familiar with. But a helpful stranger comes to her aid, so when he’s attacked, Avalon can’t just stand by. But with her unpredictable magic going haywire, can she help him, or will she just get herself in trouble, too?

The beautiful cover immediately caught my eye. It is one of my favorites from September to December 2020.

The synopsis made me want to read this prequel. We discover a little this world where there are shifters. I like dragons shifters

.It was too short. We don't have time to get to know the characters well. I want more because there are already several questions that I ask myself. I wait impatiently for book one.

Fantasizing about Trevor Grimm is Kylie Hood’s favorite escape from her cruel reality. So, when he asks for her help on a school project, sparks are bound to fly and her dreams are going to come true ...

Not in this fairy tale.

No, everything changes when Kylie meets Logan Grimm, Trevor’s older cousin and a professional MMA fighter some call the Big Bad Wolf.

He’s the first person to peer under the hood she hides beneath. He’s the first person to see the signs that something is wrong. He’s the first person to give her any attention. And he’s offering to help protect her.

But Logan’s world isn’t safe. It’s dirty, exhilarating, and dangerous. It’s everything Kylie needs to stay away from.

When I first saw the cover, I immediately thought of Little Red Riding Hood. The title also contributed. I applaud the illustrator because the cover is so gorgeous and represents Kylie perfectly.

I haven't read the Gods & Monsters Trilogy because I just discover the author. Thoses who have read the Trilogy will more easily understand certain things but for me, it is not important because I am at the same level as Kylie and discover everything like her.

The universe looks like ours at first glance except that I quickly noticed some things after the first third.

I have a hard time with some characters even though I love following Logan and Kylie. I was still a little shocked that Kylie dared to say stop only after starting to hang out with Logan. Not having his character, I will be gone a long time ago or I will have replied in one way or another.

Although we find ourselves in a dark universe with difficult times, I had a hard time stopping reading to sleep (5 a.m. 😨). I thought about this book until I finished it and even after because the end comes a little abruptly. I was not prepared.

I will read the next book because I want to know more. Highly December.

She knew Ethan was a loner…
…but didn’t understand why.
Is he eccentric or does he have a secret?
Mikayla was painfully shy. Being different was hard. The condition, called synesthesia, caused her to see colors when music was played. She only wanted two things, to become a world-class violinist and to make a friend. Will she be able to handle life in an exclusive music school?
The competition was fierce.
And below the surface, a scandal…
…that the administration will do anything to keep hidden.
When she saw Ethan playing an accompaniment on piano for violin, she saw the colors around him from the direction of the violin, but there was just one problem.
He was alone.

I like purple. It was naturally that my gaze fell on the cover. The summary intrigued me. So I wanted to read it.

The first chapter was a good start but then I struggled to enter into the story. It took a long time for me to begin to like it: thirty percent of the book.

The story takes place mostly on a campus and follows music students. There are several characters that we meet who will experience the paranormal, but some are more important than others. They are nice but I didn't have a feeling for them.

When the musicians played, I heard music in my head. It's the first book I've read that talks about music so I don't know if it's normal or if I'm haunted (LOL).

My reading was pleasant but nothing more. Only the paranormal side really interested me. This book was obviously not for me.

I didn't know at the author but she has other titles to her credit.

Ian “Bash” Sebastian and Ember Carlson were high school sweethearts…until their single parents got married. With one thorny twist of fate, a secret young crush went from on fire to off-limits. What could a new stepbrother do but bail? Now, after almost four years, Bash has returned to Seattle, and he’s back in Ember’s orbit at End of the Line. EOL is the go-to college for second-chance scholarships. But what about love?

Sure, the old hurts are there. So is the attraction—and it’s more magnetic than ever. Still, they’re adults now, levelheaded and just fine with the friend thing. If only to make family dinners less awkward. But when they agree to start dating other people, moving on threatens to bring them closer together than ever.

Is it time to admit their past to their parents? Even trickier, their hope for the future? Because Ember and Bash deserve a love story of their own. With all their defenses down, can they make it a happy ever after?

Due to Covid-19, I have delayed everything inclued reading books ...
When I could read again, I was overfloaded by work. We are on a very weird period.

I don't know why but this book was easier to understand than the previous one. I went inside the story easier too.

The only thing that remains negative is the length of the summary which spoils the story too much.

Although Bash is part of the American football team, it is less present than with Jess and Logan. We are more focused on the family unit.

I noticed that it is a bit trendy stepbrother and stepsister but it's the first that I read. In fact it's a little different because they know each other before their parents. In French, the term is less precise than in English.

Ember and Bash have injuries that you don't necessarily notice but that make them react in a certain way.

I enjoyed following the characters and meeting Jess and Logan. We are also entitled to an explanation of Ford's behavior with Keilani.

Some parts made me laugh. Mainly the double date which does not end as expected.

It seems to me that this second volume is the last in the series. I will be watching for future releases from Sariah Wilson.

Disgraced college quarterback Logan Hunt was on his way to NFL stardom when he messed up big-time. Now the Texas star player with a bad temper has a new option: Seattle’s EOL College—as in End of the Line, to his fellow misfit recruits. It’s Logan’s last chance. If he can follow the rules. No parties, no fighting, no swearing, and oh, no dating the coach’s daughter, Jess. Simple. Yeah, right. For Logan, there has never been a rule he’s more tempted to break.

The deal is “just friends.” The pretty, confident, and fiercely smart math whiz is fine with pizza, tutoring, and keeping Logan in line. But the closer Jess gets, the more receptive she is to his warm heart and spirit—not to mention his irresistible off-field passes. With defenses down, they’re both heading into the danger zone.

It’s more than thrilling. It’s love. It’s also a game changer that could sideline Logan’s NFL goals - and more important, a future with Jess. But dreams are worth fighting for, right?

I decided to read this book because I already have the ARC of book 2. I'm so brilliant that I haven't noticed it until it was on my tablet.

Usually for books in English, I need at most five pages to enter the story and adapt to the style of the author. Here it took me almost fifteen percent of the story to get there.

The only negative point is the summary which I find very long and a little too spoiler.

We dive into the university world and the sports part revolves around American football. It changes me from the usual football which I must tell you, does not fascinate me at all. The sportsman with the smart girl is well known but here, she is the daughter of the coach and she knows a lot about American football. This gives them more common points and easy communication.

We discover Logan and Jess in depth. Their pasts are different but painful. I don't wish that to anyone. To make matters worse, in addition to the rules to follow, we have Ben. I think it was done on purpose but I found him tasteless and self-centered.

I enjoyed following the characters. I managed to put myself in place of Jess and Logan. It's not so common. Congrats to Sariah Wilson

There is zero sex scene and ... it doesn't matter. So you know it's not necessary to have one to make a good story.

Bash didn't go unnoticed and I'm glad that the second book is dedicated to him. I will read it very soon but first a little reading in French.

Although the start was a bit laborious, I had a great time with this story. It was only the epilogue that surprised me a little because I did not expect this so quick
