Fireflies (The Physical Collection) by A.R. Hadley – Review by Jules Herbert

Fireflies (The Physical Collection)Fireflies by A.R. Hadley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have spent a long time trying to decide how to review this book. This author is talented and her writing style is good but on this occasion I really struggled to connect with the characters which then effected my overall enjoyment of the book. The Blurb drew me in and the potential storyline appealed to me greatly but without that connection that I was craving it fell short for me. Now having said that it doesn’t mean that the next person to pick up this book won’t highly enjoy it so I still recommend giving it a go.

I don’t have young kids any more as mine are all grown but had this book been around when they were little I absolutely would have read this to them time and time again. It truly is a fun read that had me laughing quite a few times and the illustrations are just gorgeous and complement the storytelling beautifully.

This Amazing author has done it again with this fantastic 6th book of the series. It has to be said I just LOVE this series!!!! I was hooked from start to finish yet again with my heart fully engaged and I absolutely love Miranda and Efrem. While this book can definitely be read as a standalone why would anyone deprive themselves by not reading the entire series. Get them all and binge read them I say! I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

Even though I am way, way past the intended age of YA reader, I really enjoyed this book and I think anyone any age would be the same. This wonderful author had me captivated by these wonderful characters and a storyline which kept me turning page after page. This is a new author for me and I will definitely be back for more. In fact I found this series with book 3 so I will be going back and reading the first two books for sure.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a new author for me and I have to say I really enjoyed this book and it won’t be the last book by this fantastic author that I read. Being set around a circus is not something I believe I have read before so it was refreshing to have a new and interesting setting. It was most definitely a slow burn between the wonderful lead characters Cassandra and Chandler and just enough suspense to keep you hooked and turning page after page. With it being the first book in this series I just know I will be back for more.

This wonderful author simply never disappoints and this new book is no exception! Rose is a wolf charged with the goal of finding the moonstone in order to save her people and Titan is the Prince who has no choice but to find a wife and continue his legacy even though he knows the terrible end it brings with it. They are both head strong and determined but simply can’t deny their connection. I feel like I can’t say too much without giving away key elements of the story so just let me say that you should grab a copy today and get reading!!

I truly love this series so much. This amazing author keeps bringing us such wonderful characters filled with so much heart that you can’t help but to be drawn in to their stories. Ivy and Ace had me completely hooked right from the very start and I couldn’t stop reading until I knew everything that was going to happen. They are definitely two people only truly whole when together.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This amazingly talented author simply never ever disappoints! This book is yet another example of her creativity and talent. It is raw, emotional and will keep you hooked all the way through as long as a push and pull type storyline is your cup of tea. Hell even if it isn’t your usual go to give this book a read. These two characters, brought together and bonded over violence, who fight their attraction for each other, will draw you in even when your heart wants to break for them at times. I will say it ends on a cliff hanger so be prepared.

What a great start to what I hope will become an amazing series for this wonderful author. Reaper and Ava are fantastic characters with an amazing connection right from the very start. I truly could not put this down until I was finished reading every creative word! Reaper captured my heart from the very beginning and I just knew he would be the man for Ava. I loved the other characters just as much and I am really hoping they get their stories told too. I will definitely be watching for more from this talented author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow what a wonderfully written story of two people, I guess I should say two broken-hearted people, who help each other heal along the way. I know some topic areas covered may be difficult for some to read as the author has you really feeling the characters emotions and struggles but they are topics that should be shared and learned about. With such a well written storyline I promise you will be completely hooked from start to finish as this story unfolds, I know I sure was and I will definitely be looking forward to more great books from this wonderful author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have said before that I am not usually a fan of shorter stories BUT this one is so damn packed full I just have to shut my mouth. Story length in no way matters with this fantastic book. I unfortunately started this series on book 2 which I will be rectifying as soon as possible as well as exploring this amazing authors other books. How much she managed to pack into this book is truly amazing. It’s filled with such unique, wonderful characters and is such a creative storyline that you wont be able to put it down. You will want to see how this battle unfolds! I am hesitant to comment on the actual storyline itself because I just know I’ll give away something that I shouldn’t. Just do yourself a favour and get reading!!

I really enjoyed this little Mystery filled with great characters and an interesting storyline. It was the first time I have read anything by this author and I am very happy to say I will definitely be reading more of her books. Naomi and Ella move to start over and are welcomed to their new home with a dead body. Great welcome right! LOL. Their new neighbours Barbara and Ingrid take them under their wing and soon the four are solving this murder mystery. Gotta say I loved the four lead characters but especially Barbara and Ingrid. I want them for my neighbours. I can’t wait to return to Fayette for more!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow!!! This talented author just keeps creating such wonderful characters and storylines again and again!! This book had me hooked right from the start and turning page after page with excitement because I just had to know what was going to happen for Garrett and Olivia. It was so great to get to read the story of Garrett, a character who up until now I really did not like at all, and learn more about him and understand a little more about why he did the things he did in the previous books in this fantastic series. If you haven’t read the previous books don’t worry you can read this and thoroughly enjoy it just like I did BUT do yourself a favour and read the whole series. You will not be disappointed!!!

I absolutely love this series and this AMAZING author so damn much!! I basically only have to see her name on a book now and I know I have to read it!

Add to that the fantastic storyline and you will be completely hooked on this book from start to finish. If you haven’t read the first two books of the series, that’s ok you can read this book and still enjoy it but I really recommend reading the entire series from the very start to enjoy it even more and because its all just so damn good!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have to be totally honest and say that it took me a little while to really get into this book but at the same time when I look back I am not sure I can pin point exactly why. I know that doesn’t make sense right? LOL . I am really glad I persevered though because I did enjoy this storyline and these great characters created by this wonderfully talented author. Maybe I was just in a weird mood when I started reading it? who knows!! What all my rambling boils down too is that this is a suspense filled, paranormal read dealing with love and loss. As others have mentioned in their reviews the epilogue was fantastic and I’m so glad I got to read it. Give this great book a read. You won’t be disappointed.

OMG!! I thought the first two books had me hooked but damn this one REALLY kept me turning page after page and ignoring everything else around me! Sorry family LOL. I had to see how it would all turn out. I really went on a far more emotional rollercoaster then I would have initially expected from a Fantasy series. This author truly is AMAZING, creating characters, storylines and worlds that weave into your heart in totally unexpected ways. This should not be read as a standalone. You MUST start from the beginning of the series to fully enjoy this captivating, action packed world. You wont be disappointed in any way! Ian you will always hold a small piece of my heart.

I said it with the first Book and I will say it again I was completely hooked from start to finish! In fact I think this book had me even more hooked because i literally could not put it down. Again I don’t want to go into too much detail about storyline as I don’t want to give too much away but I will say we see Ian again after 2 years of being drugged, tortured and imprisoned. How quickly and completely this author gets me so fully immersed in this world is truly amazing. I could so easily imagine everything that was happening and envision it so clearly thanks to the fantastic writing of this author. I am not wasting a single minute before moving on to book 3.

I don’t want to go into too much detail about storyline as I don’t want to give too much away so I will just say that it is such an intricately woven and creative storyline, so packed full of action that you will not be able to resist turning page after page! I felt so fully immersed in this world. I truly could imagine everything that was happening and envision it so clearly thanks to the fantastic writing of this author. I can’t explain how or why it happened so quickly but Ian weaved his way into my heart right from the start and I know he will stay there for a very long time which is definitely not something I expected when starting a Fantasy series! If magic, adventure, intense drama and suspense are your thing then this series is for you!

I highly recommend reading the entire trilogy to fully understand and enjoy all the characters and every element of the storyline.

This very talented author creates such amazing characters and storylines filled with so much heart! I was instantly in love and was completely invested in the story of Rowan and Chris right from the start. Having met Chris a little in the previous books in this wonderful series I knew his story was going to be a great read and it definitely was that and so much more! Now if you haven’t read the previous books you will still follow the storyline and enjoy it wholeheartedly but I HIGHLY recommend reading the entire series simply because the people and places created in these pages will burrow into your heart to stay and you don’t want to miss out on that.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow just Wow!! This amazing author never fails to entertain her readers with wonderful characters and creative, interesting storylines that keep you enthralled from start to finish. This book was yet again another fantastic read and continued this series in style. Natalie and Grayson are always chipping at each other whenever they are together but you just know there is so much passion fuelling that fire that once they realise that, you know the flames will be higher than ever. They build a strong bond even when danger is all around them. This is the third book in the WaterFyre Rising series but I feel it can be read and enjoyed without having read the previous two books. I do highly recommend reading them though simply because they are amazing and shouldn’t be missed.
