Review: Bring Me Home by Cassia Leo

If you’ve been hanging around here at New Adult Addiction over the last week, you know that Bring Me Home by Cassia Leo is now available. If you read Julie’s review yesterday, you know it rocks. (Make sure to check out her giveaway too.) Just in case we haven’t convinced you to try out the Shattered Hearts series yet, today I bring you another review. What I liked: I usually hate love triangles. Immensely. But sometimes they just work, and this was one of those times. I think the reason I didn’t get so irritated with it as I often do is because I could see the reasons behind it. Claire wasn’t flaky, or stupid or majorly indecisive. She was honest with both Adam and Chris, and that made a big difference. While I loved Adam in Relentless, he wasn’t my favorite character in Pieces of You, so I’m glad… Read more »

REVIEW: Off Course by Sawyer Bennet

I have been craving Off Course with something bordering obsession. I stalked facebook, waiting for any sign that it might be live early. I typed the title into the Amazon search bar on what seemed like a daily basis, hoping that it would appear. So when it did indeed appear early, I frantically one clicked and sat down to read. In the end, I have to regretfully say it wasn’t everything I hoped. What I liked: I loved the change of setting from the rest of the series. Ireland was a nice change, and added lots of new, unique people and elements to the story. We’ve still got a connection to the rest of the crew back in New Jersey ( Renner is Linc and Nix’s cousin) but they are only mentioned in passing for most of the book. Nix does make a brief appearance, which was nice to see…. Read more »
