I liked this! Cute and easy read. I also love hearing mentions of other real books- have I read that or do I need to add it to my TBR?

This was as cute as I expected. I liked the banter and progression. Very good, light, romantic read.

I liked this! I didn’t realize it was fantasy but I liked the hints of fantasy melded with real world concerns. I like the characters backstories and personalities. It all worked well together to create a found family without being overly cheesy.

I enjoyed this. Good voice and diverse characters. Fast read! But I haven’t read a graphic novel in a while.

I am so disappointed- I was very excited for this book; the title and concept drew me in. However when I started reading the writing turned me off. It’s written so unprofessionally, like a junior high kid writing fan fiction. But this book has sex which I enjoy romance (okay with or without sex scenes) but the sex threw me since it seemed written by someone so young with the writing style so that weirded me out. Anyways great idea, needs better execution unfortunately. I finished the book but probably shouldn’t have.

Oo there was some pretty unforgivable stuff here… my least favorite of the series. Hans was definitely my favorite, followed later by Nero and King, and this is just meh. Terrible Dom.

I loved Painter’s other book Better Than the Movies, and this didn’t quite live up to it. But it’s cute and good. The banter just didn’t click with me as much and I wanted more of a grand gesture at the end- he called her a screw-up mess so many times.

Reading this series out of order based on which plots interest me most- although I read this second, it will probably be my favorite. Even though the stalking is extreme, it somehow comes across affectionately and not crazily. I like Hans and Cassie and their story and how obsessed they are with each other.
