Genre: General Fiction (Adult), Romance, Sci-fi and fantasy

I really enjoyed the first book, and this was a good follow up but didn’t grip me quite as much. Its an easy read, good story line, and some interesting characters.
The romance between Leland and Haley is growing, they’re learning more about each other. I was hoping for a bit more romance between Diego and Val, as so much of this story centres on them but its developing. Slowly 😉
I do wonder in stories like this where there are clearly lots of supernatural characters but hidden in plain sight so to speak, how realistic that is in the modern world? It didn’t feel quite believable here, small groups without big money to hide behind means to me discovery inevitable. But that could just be me being picky…..
And damn, not exactly a cliffhanger ending – but a very striking story line for the next book!

Stars: Three and a half, I wasn’t quite as taken with this one as the first but its still a good read, easy to follow and interesting

A Florist Called Daisy
by Elsie G. Beya

 

Genre: General Fiction (Adult), Romance

Well, this was a perfect read for me, a beautiful romance, intelligent characters, but with Flaws, some pretty big ones that affected them and the story hugely.
Those flaws, the bits that made it feel so real were handled really well. The self harm aspect, I really understood the motivation, and the feeling of release. Its something so often misunderstood, and of course, so difficult to control, along with that feeling it must be hidden at all costs.
The friendship issue, the Girls Code, made for some interesting moments, and for me showed that Daisy’s friend was actually anything but. There’s a line in the Girl ( and Bro) Code, but there’s delusions of fantasy and for Daisy to not date Stewart because her friend felt he was her OTP was just ridiculous. They’d never dated, Stewart wasn’t interested and had made that clear. Thankfully Stewart was very persuasive.
Towards the end I did get a bit irritated towards Daisy when she still was trying to hide their relationship from her friend, going to some extraordinary excuses to do so. That just wasn’t fair on Stewart. Of course that leads to some drama, some heartbreak, all of which make for a perfect romance for me, I like a few potholes on the way to a HEA 😉

Stars: Five, a really fun read, with some very thought provoking parts. And fab flowers, which as a flower lover I really appreciated.
