authors write your own books. iykyk.

I like where this is going but going to have to see how this love story plays out.

Thirteen chapters isn’t enough but I understand that this type of love story needs pacing and Time. Kai and Mia are too odd but precise characters that really intrigues you in “wanting to know more” sort of way. To be honest it is very slow paced. This book definitely could be finished in one book and doesn’t need to be a series but I’m hoping when book two releases more things will make sense.

I’m rooting for the author to bring us a wow factor!

potential

Lots of potential for more dialogue between the main characters. The repetitiveness and extra descriptions made it slow and longer than needed. In not too sure if I’d call it a romance because there was just not enough dialogue or connection. Writing style was not my favorite and I had to really try hard to finish it because I was just not that interested in the plot.

So many words and nothing said. I was rooting for this to be so good! The cover is my kind of passion. There is next to zero chemistry between any of the characters. The main characters say barely 30 words to each other throughout the entirety of the book. The repetition and run ons made the story difficult to follow. This has so much potential and would love to see a more connected piece.

Very interesting

Very different but good. I love the detail and storyline. I don’t think Ive read a book like this before . Looking forward to part 2! I don’t want to spoil it for others but if you’re into romance with a twist this is the book for you.

Clean romance

This was almost poetic in presentation. A sweet beginning to a story. Not all romance is super heated. Some are warm. This is one of those. I enjoyed the story, I will keep an eye out for the next part of the story as this is a series beginning.

Dazed...

I don't know how to properly articulate my thoughts on this one. It is so incredibly well written that it read like poetry. It is 00H52 and I am torn between sitting with it in silence or looking up the 2nd book.

This story was beautifully written, almost poetic in a sense. Love the development between Kai & Mia, even though there’s not many words said between them it’s still something there. Can’t wait for the next book.

It was ok nothing much going on atleast in this first book. Maybe book two will be beter.

Unexpectedly drawn in

I didnt know what to expect but this had me drawn in quickly and kept my interest in a way most books miss the mark on
