Loved. I think Sara C. has created a new subgenre: new adult family saga.

Pages: 370
My rating (stars): 4
Read other books from this author in the future: yes
I really like this series, but I will only review the first and last book of the series. This book was as good as the first and second one.

Complex, Rivetting, Hopeful
This is a complex tale of individual members of one family trying to co-exist with each other amid myriad of life experiences. The trials and tribulations this family faces are not atypical of the average family, hence, the draw for the reader to enter their world and see how their lives will all come about for the future. Very entertaining reading: poignant, pathos, pain, outrage, joy, harmony, love and hope. The characterizations and the "stage" where each character plays there part, is so raw, elemental and rivetting to keep the reader highly vested in this story. This original story is rich in imagery. This is a series, so the reader needs to know, that at the end of one novel there is no happy-ever-after achieved and the saga rolls on to the next novel. Off to the next installment ...

Trials
Ugh, this family of siblings is too much. It's alot to process with each installment. The growth and heartache experienced is borderline emotional damage material. I'm sucked in and committed to finding out where Wynter's story with her brothers is headed.

Very Good
It's not often I'll read an 8 hour book in a single sitting but I'm hooked on this story. Another surprise because I usually get bored of extended series with the same characters. This is so well written.
P.S. I never liked Bea from the start.

The Wynter Wild series has quickly become my new favorite. I definitely see myself reading this series again and again. I love Wynter and her brothers, and the other characters as well. They're all complex and well developed. This book has you on the edge of your seat. It's almost impossible to stop reading. I'd recommend for mature readers due to some deep and sensitive subjects. I received a copy of this story for free, in exchange for an honest review.

This is an entertaining read. I love the humorous dialogue between the siblings. Wynter struggles with the secret Joy revealed due to her telling Wynter not to tell the brothers. I recommend it for anyone who likes family secrets.

Series Turned Into A Soap Opera Script
After beautifully building up strong character development and storyline in her first two books, Creasy unfortunately destroys her work in book three. Several characters behavior contradict what she previously developed. She also steers them into areas which detracts from the storyline. This book began to feel more like a soap opera, rather than a continuation of the series.
Deeply disappointing and wished I had finished the series with Book 2. The continuation of this series appears to demonstrate a struggle to find closure within the storyline. While the story is interesting, it isn't worthy of a nine book series. The amount of ratings this series has received, reflect the lack of interest.
While I applaud her for her achievement in writing nine books and feel she has talent, the lack of discernment with this series leaves me not wanting to pursue reading future works.

This storyline gets way more complicated here. Raw emotions. So many set backs.
Caleb has his life pulled out from under him.
Indio. Well, I don’t know what to make of his progress, or regression. It’s startling for sure.
Wynter grows here. A lot. In fact, this sheltered, almost feral child who showed up a year ago, seems immensely mature and able to discern others’ emotions and motives better than the older brothers.

Once again I am in love with this series. Each character has their own depth, but play off each other well. Wynter is learning about the world and I’m fascinated watching her do it. I look forward to reading the next book and learning even more about the guys and Wynter. Read it!!

More from Wynter and her brothers. Still no plain sailing. I think that anything that can go wrong does but this disfuncting family sticks together.

Wynter has everyone wrapped around her fingers. I’m liking getting to know the characters.

**Another unforgettable book from Sara Creasy!**
Every time I finish one of Sara Creasy's books, I think there's no way the next one can affect me as much—and every time, I'm proven wrong. *Rhythm and Rhyme* completely captured my heart from beginning to end.
By now these characters feel like family, and getting to spend more time with them was such a joy. Watching them continue to grow, support one another, and face life's challenges together was emotional, heartwarming, and incredibly satisfying. Their relationships feel so genuine that it's impossible not to become invested in every triumph and every setback.
Sara Creasy has an amazing talent for creating characters who are beautifully imperfect. They make mistakes, they struggle, they love fiercely, and they never stop fighting for the people who matter most. That authenticity is what makes this series so special.
I loved the balance of laughter and heartbreak throughout the story. There were moments that made me smile, moments that had me holding back tears, and moments that reminded me why I fell in love with this series in the first place. The emotional depth never feels forced—it simply unfolds naturally, making every victory feel earned.
Sara's writing is warm, engaging, and full of heart. The pages flew by because I was completely immersed in the story, and when I reached the end, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. That's always the sign of a truly wonderful book.
If you've been following this series, *Rhythm and Rhyme* is an absolute must-read. And if you haven't started yet, you're in for something really special. This series is about so much more than the story itself—it's about love, family, healing, resilience, and finding your place in the world.
Thank you, Sara Creasy, for creating characters I'll never forget and stories that leave such a lasting impression. This is another well-deserved five-star read, and I can't wait to see where you take us next.
