I actually liked this one, it was surprisingly spooky and kinda gross in parts for a child's horror.
 I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.

I thought this would be more funny than it is.
It's labeled as a mystery/thriller but I detect neither so far and I just found the whole thing just boring.
As sad that being Trans is only accepted by a Satanist school rather than a catholic school 😆

There was alot that I didn't like about this book, but even so I still enjoyed it alot.
 The FMC is 19 and you can tell she's 19. She's "like" so insecure and innocent, seeming to not know alot of things yet she has a job, trying to put herself through high-school while simultaneously taking care of her toxic step-dad. I feel like after going through so much, she probably would be a little hardened, a little more mature for her age... but naw.
 I think I stayed more for Gareth though. His personality and masculinity was the complete opposite of Maddy. Gareth being a werewolf and 29, so there's a big age gap there.
 I just found the back and forth between "he's to old for me" and "I really wanna be with him but maybe just as friends" to be kinda ridiculous. 
 I felt like the book was too long for what it was, it didn't need to be almost 600pgs.
 There's a second book that isn't released yet and it wasn't even in the pre-order stage when I started the book. I probably wouldn't have if I knew it was gonna end on a slight cliffy.
 Anyway, even throughout the negativity, repetitiveness and literal repeats of entire paragraphs, I still really enjoyed the book.
 Will I read it again? Maybe.
 It's not a 5 stars though, just because her whining and lack of character development kinda put me off a bit.
 That sex scene though? Was like 2 chapters long and so good 👍🏻 
Damn, longest review ever 😆

I still think religion is kinda B.S but you have to admit that it is quite imaginative.
 I found the demon side of religion to be kinda interesting.
 Although assuming that every evil person was possessed by Satan is just a cop out, some people just don't want to admit that some humans are just straight up shitty.
 Oh and just cause you're a woman, what a man does isn't your fault. Wtf?

It was okay. Kind of thought a mating of a snow owl and dragon would be a bit weird 😆

The writing is simply atrocious, so many errors it was annoying.
If i didn't know any better I'd say it was a fanfic written by a 9yr old.

Such a cute little Novella.
 A sweet but Forbidden romance between a figure skater and her coach, a broody grumpy older man and she's the sunshine in the dark.
 I loved how sugary sweet it was.

I don't quite understand.
The very beginning wasn't at all related to the story after the "10 years later" part. 
Why did it seem like 2 different books?

I feel like this was unnecessarily sad for the very beginning of a book.
I was looking for a cozy fall book and this was so not it lol
There was something about the writing and the characters that I just didn't like either.
I don't know how old she was supposed to be but she was written like she was 12 or something.
