medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

A couple weeks ago I was looking for novellas, and so many people recommended Halifax Hellions. Clearly, so many people love this series for a reason - and I am here to say I concur.

๐Ÿ“™ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€: Halifax Hellions character series. Book 1.

๐Ÿ“” ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐˜€: Friends-to-lovers, roadtrip vibes (but make it historical), forced proximity, heโ€™s loved her all along.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€: Henry has loved Margo for seven years. He tries to keep his distance, but one night she asks for his help on a journey to find her sister, and he has no choice but to follow her.

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„:  I have to be in a certain kind of mood for historical romance - but once I can just let go and stop looking up old English words and just let myself sink into the story, Iโ€™m always here for it.

Iโ€™m definitely going to devour the rest of the books in this series. About 100 pages, with a solid storyline and plot and some impressive spiceโ€ฆ it read quick and left me feeling happy, and thatโ€™s all I want in a novella. Iโ€™ll also say the depiction of women - the Halifax twins are mischievous and sexually free and FUN - was refreshing as well.
