Jorgina Marie is my favorite narrator. She has such a great range of characters voices. Love her. The story was ugly and terrible and wonderful and sad and loving and everything a great story should be. I loved it and at the same time hated it. I have read other reviews saying he groomed her..

Normalizes pedophilia. Protagonist is child rapist and antagonist is family member trying to keep child away from him. I wish I would have known before buying and supporting an author and publishing house who sympathize with child molesters.

I loved the My Life Next Door and I loved Tim in it. However, this book was lackluster. I don’t get why they fell in love, 12.5 hours and I don’t get it. There was zero time developing that relationship. If Jase and Samantha are his best friends they certainly should have been incorporated into..

The story is cute. Magical training academy, enemies to lovers trope, no spice (minors) but lots of romantic tension.My biggest qualm is while I feel like the narrator brings the characters to life, she sounds like she has a cold the whole time. The stuffy nose talking was a bit irritating
Parts of the story are strong and well written but halfway through it’s like the author got lost and didn’t know the way back. The age difference of Kellen and Wavy makes the “love story” more sickening than sweet; especially since she’s a small child and he’s a grown man when their “friendship” begins. Not..

The author romanticizes child rape and positively portrays the abuser. As a counselor, it sickened me to listen to.
