Fallen Angel by Ella Scarsdale

3.5 out of 5 stars

Didn't really hold my attention.

The story was good and the characters were fun. I really liked the idea behind this story actually but I'm not sure, I just couldn't get myself into the book.  Maybe it was the point of view or fuck if I know honestly, but it was a good book, I just didn't feel like I could give it a full four star review.

This was a short historical romance with a fun heroine and a super romantic hero. I absolutely loved the plot behind this.

While I couldn't give this a full four star review I will say that I couldn't put it down. The suspense was great and the teasing did what it was supposed to do- tease the reader! However I would have liked to see a little more form the characters. They felt a little two-dimensional to me.

There really weren't many side characters, and I just couldn't fully understand the way that the main characters reacted to some situations in the story. 

When it came to the villain I just wasn't feeling him. I got why he was the villain but I would have liked to see more from him. I wanted to hate him, and sadly I just didn't. 

However, this wasn't a bad story, I want to stress that! I'd love to see more from these two. 

The Mine (Northwest Passage #1) by John A. Heldt

4 out of 5 stars

This was a book I received from the author in return for an honest review. 

I really enjoyed it. Took a while to actually get started but I didn't mind reading most of the filler at the beginning. I really felt like this was a little too long and honestly, but chapter 15 I wasn't invested as I should be.

The story itself I love! I love retro stories and I love the idea of time travel. The characters were fun, I wanted to know what happened to the next and there was a good chunk of humor in this that kept me interested but… there was smething off. Something lacking for me.

I think it was that the main character came off lacking emotion- actually I think a lot of the characters did.

That being said there wasn't anyone I didn't like, in fact I really liked a lot of the side characters and would love to see more about them!

I honestly had a hard time picking this book up every time I put it down, but when I did pick it up I was glad I had and didn't want to put it down.

I loved the way this book ended. I wanted to see Grace show her smarts and she pulled through at the end. I also thought it was great to see some of the characters from the main story- set in the 1940s- in semi modern day-Around 2000- and the way that they changed. I also loved hearing their stories and knowing how the main character helped them by accidently traveling back in time- and how he helped them even when he was gone!
