Bedlam Moon by Kathy Haan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
Felt very rushed and insta love, writing was very much telling you how to feel and not letting you get there yourself.

I heard the spinoff with the kids is better but we'll see 🙃

Felt like an adult was trying to write teenagers (and knows nothing about them) too many cliches but then writes an "emo gay" to not make him different

Honestly this should have been the last book, 1,244 pages and all of the "good/informational" stuff happens in the last 90% of the dang book,
introducing ANOTHER bad guy... well two such ass
like this was the hardest book to get through and not in a good way. Yes there was some emotional parts and decent story development but it just felt filler and the stories I wanted more of just weren't being talked about.
Caleb and Seth like how long are we dragging this on, I get what they're trying to do and I know the "rules" about it but even Seth said they felt old and blah blah but like they're just making this shit drag on and it's annoying
 

I'm sad there's another book coming out will I read it? Duh cuz I have no self worth 🙃 and I love some of these characters I really do I just need this series to end 
Ledge by Stacey McEwan

adventurous sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? N/A
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

Been following Stacey on TikTok for awhile before she started talking about the Ledge, was extremely excited for the book to come out, and once it died I devoured it! 

Has a really cool premise for a book, I love Dawsyn and her dgaf attitude and Ryon is soo sweet. I felt like all the characters introduced were really easy to love and weren't just mentioned and then tossed away. I'm excited to see them again next book.

Books pacing was definitely very fast! I'm not mad at it though, was informational and fun to read throug, there was really funny moments and really sweet/sad moments.

Overall for a debute novel and it being a "TikTok" book it was good and super solid first work
