Falling for a Star in the City (Stars in the City #2)Falling for a Star in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m going to get the bad out of the way right away because I’m still a little upset about it, I was rooting for Paige and Viktor the entire book but when she started this whole love triangle thing and was saying “I love you” to both boys I was mad. It was messy and I was honestly thinking maybe she needs to be single and find herself because this wasn’t the drama I was looking for.
Other than that I loved the book, it’s great slow burn YA read. Paige’s life feels out of control since the death of one of her friends and I hope this book shows young readers that grief is different for everyone and it’s okay to go get help to work out how your feeling. I really liked Paige’s friends, they felt like a realistic friend group to me. I was team Viktor the whole way, I fell for him instantly and I love that he’s not a cocky “I’m the best” hockey player. Honestly I could keep reading about the two of them.
I recommend if you enjoy clean, YA romances. This book can also be read as a standalone.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is #2 in the series. I didn’t read book 1 but it didn’t seem that there was a need for that. This book worked well as a stand alone.

This book started out a little slow but I’m so glad I pushed through and read the whole thing. The main character, Paige, leaves her acting job on hold to find a “real” job and please her family. This story is her journey through life and love during that process.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Checking out this author Kristin Ward for the first time and I gotta say I was impressed not only did this book’s cover fascinate me but the idea was a unique mix of the three sounded like I needed to read it now to see what happens. Even though I’m older than YA, I found it a captivating book. The book weaves a richly detailed fantasy world that is both immersive and original. Ward’s descriptive writing vividly brings the mysterious and dark forest to life, creating a setting that feels both enchanting and foreboding.The plot is well-paced, with a blend of suspense, magical elements, and character development that keeps the reader hooked. The author effectively balances action with moments of introspection. I look forward to reading more from the author .

This was a good 4 star read. This is a YA romance so there is some immaturity in places but I did enjoy the story. Paige is a busy woman, and when she meets Viktor there is potential. But will the ex and the other drama in her life get in the way? Overall I enjoyed this read. The author does a good job with her writing. I look forward to reading more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

It has been a while since I read a book by this author but as soon as I started reading I was reminded as to why I enjoy her work so much. This was a great YA story that I thought really focused on the characters and their development. Paige seems to be at a crossroads in her life and watching her figure out what to do was great.
I loved Viktor as soon as I he came into the story. I thought he was perfect for Paige and together they had a great chemistry. I was less of a fan of the love triangle, but that is just my preference rather than the story. This is a great book that is thoroughly enjoyable.

Falling for a Star in the City: A Hockey Romance
By Krysten Lindsay Hager

I loved this book!!! I really didn’t think I would to much as it started out slow, the story as a whole was great!! It was relatable as most of us feel like we don’t live up to what our parents wanted and yet we are still out here doing it every day. When Paige’s show is on hold due to another actor she goes to intern for a bit, broke up with her struggling rockstar boyfriend and just feels lost in life. Shortly after the breakup her ex is signed with a label and the songs are all about her but has been changed from the love songs he wrote to breakup and not so nice.
Things start to look up, she is doing great at her new job, she made a new friend, but is also torn between her ex and new friend. It was a very good read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I first started reading, I was unaware Falling for a Star in the City was the second book in a series. However, I didn’t feel like I missed out on much information by reading this book first. The world building was adequate but nothing spectacular stood out for me. The story seemed to go back and forth a lot with Paige not really knowing exactly what she wanted or how she was feeling. She seemed very conflicted throughout the book. Her feelings for Walker were hard to stomach, as the reader could see through his façade rather easily. He was a character I couldn’t quite hate completely as I feel like he believed his heart was in the right place. Paige’s relationship with Viktor seemed more genuine, even with their back and forth inner monologues. Overall, the story was fairly well-written with realistic, believable characters. I would like to read more by Krysten Lindsay Hager.

I really enjoy finding new authors. This is the first book from this author I have read and I quite enjoyed it. One of my favorite fantasy creatures of mine is dragons and boy this really hit the spot. I like how the author is able to bring the characters to life. The story has a very good mix of drama and adventure. I found myself unable to put this book down. The characters have a very dynamic chemistry that really holds the reader’s imagination. The book just flows. I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Paige has a lot going on and when it’s good, it’s great, but when it’s bad, it’s horrible. She has a long-term boyfriend, is an actress on a popular series and is going to college for journalism. But then, everything falls apart. She gets a new job, meets a new guy and tries to find a positive spin on what is going on in her life.

I loved her interactions with her grandmother and the articles she sends to Paige. Her new job and the way that they are able to utilize her amazing skills instead of just seeing her as an intern or an actress are great. The comfort level between Paige and Victor from the beginning is great and how easily they discuss things that some take years to discuss.

I’ll be going back and reading the 1st book in the series.

This was a very exciting first book in this series! As the story progresses, each character reveals part of themselves and their background story. The main focus is on the character of Gillian, who is strong and does what she can in helping her ill brother. There are stories and myths about what lies beyond the forest surrounding Gillian’s home and although the stories bring darkness and fright, she is very determined in helping her brother. As she travels into the forest, she encounters Roman, who takes hold of Gillian with the intentions of what his father would gain with her. Eventually his intentions start becoming that of his own and away from his father’s demands. This story has dragons, fantasy, romance and adventure. Lots more to look forward to!

I first picked up this book because the cover caught my eye. I kept reading this book because once I started, I couldn’t put it down. This story is absolutely fantastic, right from the word go. I was pulled in straight away and drawn to the characters. I thought they both went through so much character development. You could see their world expanding with each page and that just made me connect with them even more.
I thought the story really did them both justice too. It was exciting and really well written. I was hooked from the start and could not wait to see how it would end. I am so excited to read the next book in the series and I hope it is just as good as this one!

Dark is the Wood is a young adult fantasy. This mix of Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty and the Beast meets dragons takes us on a well-written adventure. Gillian finds herself going to the Shadowlands to save her brother when she ends up caught by the son of The Great Dragon. This book has it all. The world-building is detailed and intriguing. The characters are all very interesting. I can easily see myself reading a story about any one of them. The main character Gillian is easy to relate to. The reactions and decisions she had/made were very understandable. The book pulls you in right from the beginning. The romance was good and not overwhelming. This was an easy-to-read and fun YA Fantasy.

Dark is the Wood is the first book in the Enchanted Tales with Dragon Scales series by Kristin Ward. Gillian’s brother has caught the illness that has taken the lives of many. She heads into the Shadowlands to find a way to save him. Getting kidnapped was not what she had planned. The world building was really good, but I was a bit disappointed with the characters. I like a good enemies to lovers story, but there was more enemies than lovers in this book. There were several aspects that I think were rushed when they shouldn’t have been. Overall I do think this was a great idea, and a worthwhile read. I plan to pick up the next book and also check out what else Kristin Ward has to offer.

Have you ever felt you just didn’t meet your family’s expectations? Well that’s how Paige feels when her acting job is put on hold. Now she is out looking for another job. One her family calls a real job. Then there’s her love life, it’s in shambles as well. But just as things begin to look up, everything she thought she wanted has changed. This story is her journey. The author may be new to me but she soon was added to my list of favorites. Her writing is clear, fast paced and easy to follow. Our teens will love this story as well. The characters are interesting and so very different at the same time. Acting, hockey and music make for a grand romance. I really enjoyed reading this story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was incredibly hard to put down. I felt like I couldn’t read it fast enough to know what was going to happen. The characters in this book were super relatable and well developed I almost felt like I know who they were and that they were real people. The story line flowed very well and went well together that it was easy to follow. There was just enough twists and turns into the book that it really kept me guessing into what was going to happen. Gillian would do anything for her brother, so when he falls ill to the sweeping illness that sweeps over the land, Gillian gets prepared to do anything to help him and bring him back to good health, even if that means to enter the forbidden shadowlands. This story really put a twist to the little red riding fairy tale, but it’s filled with so much adventure, twists and turns, witches, magic, action, dragons, fairy tales was an incredible read, highly recommended.

Another great book by this author. I couldn’t wait to read it, and I’m so glad I did!
Paige wants to be an actor and have a successful relationship with her hopeful rockstar boyfriend. She also doesn’t want to disappoint her grandmother, so she struggles with whether or not to change careers. Can Paige ever have peace and happiness?
I read this book without reading book one in the series. It makes me want to go back and read book one, however, I was able to enjoy this book on its own.
I love the characters in this book! Paige is genuine and likeable. She has real dilemmas. I think anyone who has suffered a close loss can relate to Paige’s indecisiveness as she learns to navigate the world without one of her close friends. I love her remaining group of friends who give real, tough advice instead of blindly following every twist and turn in Paige’s life. I appreciate that there are no graphic sexual scenes and the focus is more on the relationships between Paige and her love interests. I also was very happy with the ending. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Dark is the Wood (Enchanted Tales with Dragon Scales Series) by Kristin Ward – Review by Jessica Stone

This is the first book in a new series I believe, or at least here’s to hoping we get more books because one is just not enough.

This book is about Gillian, who lives in a world that is trouble by a strange wasting illness that has taken hold of her younger brother. This story is about her journey to try and save him, but it’s a bit more complicated than that, to save him she must enter the shadowlands ruled by Dragon kind and trade her life for his.
Gillian was not my favorite heroine right off the bat, but to say she grew on my is and understatement, her unwillingness to bend or break to give up in her pursuit to save her brother is what kept me rooting for her the entire book.

Roman, is Dragonborn and all he wants is to keep the peace and help his father accomplish his goals, that is until he meets Gillian and swiftly realizes that what his father wants and what he wants could be one in the same, but does Roman have it in him to take what he wants, even if it means evoking the wrath of his father? Roman is the epitome of daddy’s boy when this story start, just kidding, not really but he was very loyal to his fathers cause, which earns him brownie points in the sense of loyalty is hard to come by. But his growth throughout the book and watching him discover his own wants and needs is what really sold me on this Dragonborn hottie.

This was a fun book, that I can easily see being a pretty large fantasy series, with all the Dragonborn siblings in this book there is so much potential to have story’s for them and their found loves. I really enjoyed the spin this author put on this book making the Dragonborn world creators, I’ve never read a fantasy quite like this one, I see a lot of potential in future story’s for that little tidbit of information to come into play. Either way this author decides how to play it you can bet I’ll be right there eating her story’s up.

I enjoyed Falling for a Star in the City, more than I thought I would. The first book was alright, but the characters were too young and immature for my liking. This book started off rough, where the end of every chapter was filled with negative attitude and self- doubt. I was rolling my eyes I thought I was going to hate it. But I ended up really enjoying the story. It was nice seeing Paige mature and find herself. She developed from a striving teenage soap star, questioning her worth and just trying to fit in… and matured into a character that I really enjoyed. She learned to stand up for herself, learn what real friends and real relationships can feel like, and stopped living on social media worried about what everyone else thinks. I look forward to the next book, because the author and characters are getting better as the series goes on. I am not sure I totally agree with the age range; 100% its a YA book, but I don’t know about an 11 year old enjoying this book. Not my 11 year old anyway.

Dark is the Wood is a Young Adult, Dystopian, Romantasy novel with Witches, Dragons, and Dragonborn galore. Gillian, in desperation, to save her brother, ventures into the Shadowlands to hopefully find a cure for a sickness that is plaguing her people. It also had similarities to some older fairy tales like Red Riding Hood, a little Beauty and the Beast. Some tropes that I thought fit were definitely an enemies to lovers, found family, and forbidden love. I read a lot of fantasy and I can attest that sometimes it can be wordy, or hard to follow, but that wasn’t the case here. It was confident, well worded, immersive writing, with wonderful character development throughout. Enjoyed reading.

This is a sweet, second chance romance that involves a bit of a love triangle. This is geared more towards young adults but us more seasoned folks can find some moments of enjoyment in this as well. My favorite part is the hockey aspect, as I’m a huge fan and love reading stories about hockey players.

An enjoyable read for a quiet day!

I was that person on the treadmill, kindle in hand, because I couldn’t stop reading it, but exercise is important. I would read a full-blown series in this world. I wasn’t ready to put this down, and I’m going to miss the characters!

Good Golly Miss Dolly, this book was really good. I couldn’t put it down! The back and forth between the characters was spot on. I felt like I was there and eating popcorn waiting to see what would happen next, and who would say what. The story building and word building was phenomenal. Not omg in your face, but not mehhh whatever either. It was a good balance between both. I flat out consumed this book, and I seriously need more of Kristin’s books now. I felt so many emotions throughout the book, and there were times where I wanted to throttle the main characters, but then I would remember they’re still starting out on their adult journey since they are 18, and then I would give them a bit of grace. Bravo Kristin Bravo!

This book was so good!! The detail describing the dragon and stuff was so amazing! I could picture the beast changing forms so easily. Very well written. I can’t wait to read more!! This book is about a girl named Gillian. She lives in a land that has lost much of it’s history over time. The Shadowlands are a forbidden area that everyone fears and for good reason. When her brother’s life is in danger Gillian enters the Shadowlands to try and find a cure to a disease that has been plaguing the world for a very long time. She’s hunted as soon as she crosses the barrier. She’s saved but caught by one of the Great Dragon’s son. Held captive she learns as much as she can. She must get the cure and get back to her brother before he dies. Trying to break free doesn’t go as planned and she doesn’t want the future the Great Dragon is offering. Can she get away from the beast and his sons to get back to her brother in time? The cure could help so many if she can just find it! The more she learns the more she can’t help but wonder where in history everything went so wrong. Thawing towards the Dragon isn’t something she wants to do. Gillian must choose a path and either way a death is possible. What future will she pick and will she regret it, just like she did when she first stepped into the Shadowlands and was attacked.

I’m not athletic. And certainly I’m not featured on a media outlet. I loved reading this book! The two main characters are college students, in their late teens. This is an age when people are physically adults, yet their brain’s have not fully developed. Take a dash of grief, and sprinkle it with a dose of common, everyday heartbreak. You get a love story, you get this story, where the main characters have grown into love- not fallen into it like an icky mud puddle. Readers are taken on an amazing journey of personal and relational growth by the author.

This is a well written story about what happens when you are from two different worlds but are falling for each other. Paige and Viktor are great characters that have great growth as well as chemistry. They are connectable and relatable characters that add so much to the story. Their story is engaging and hard to put down. I had no problems picturing myself with them and they had me wanting to know more. This is a fast paced story that is easy to read and entertaining. I really enjoyed this story and it is one that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this series.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Paige is an an actor who thinks her part will always be part of the show, then the star does something to endanger their success and put Paige’s part on standby.

She has been interning in the news department, getting coffee and that kind of thing, then Ted sees what she can really do and puts her on his team.

Her Ex (Walker) keeps coming back in the picture and she has met a hockey star (Viktor). Check out the story I think you will like it too.

An enjoyable and engaging YA hockey romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Paige is having a difficult time, her part on a soap opera has been reduced, she breaks up with her wannabe pop star boyfriend, who then writes an album about their relationship, and her family want her to get a ‘real job’. She gets an internship at a TV station in the sports department and meets Viktor a college hockey player. As Paige and Viktor begin falling for one another she learns that he has trust issues from a past relationship, whilst Paige starts questioning her self worth. Despite Paige’s concerns that their worlds are too different their relationship develops. However, when her ex boyfriend Walker turns up Paige must decide what she really needs to be happy and fulfilled. This is a heartwarming romance with plenty of angst and emotion. I loved Paige as I found her to be likeable and relatable. It can be read as a standalone story, but I personally enjoyed book one in the series and am looking forward to book three!
