The writing, as Holly Jackson has already proven numerous times, was amazing in its style, the flow of the story, and the development of the characters. ![]() Characters I just didn’t care about enough. There were characters I absolutely despised. Once you got about halfway through, though, it was smooth sailing. Five Survive started out a little slow and could’ve been condensed much more than it actually was. I just didn’t like it as much as I was hoping I would. While I enjoyed the novel, though, it didn’t have the same flare as Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, but I can’t imagine that any novel will be that good ever again. ![]() The writing was phenomenal for the whole series, which is why I knew I had to read Five Survive the moment it came out. I loved Holly Jackson’s series for A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder (except the last book… I despised it ). So, Five Survive was definitely one of my most anticipated reads of the year. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Unbreakable kami garcia book 2![]() Light romance and excitement for fans of the supernatural (or the show Supernatural, at least).

He may still hold the title of alpha but he becomes a lot more likable and reasonable. He realizes what’s important to him and sacrifices a lot to make it work with Holly. I did like Dirty Billionaire a bit more than Dirty Pleasures but not enough to drop the rating.

Holly is all about her career and reaching her dreams. Creighton is running after Holly, his country singer wife, after she left him for putting his career above hers. The Goodĭirty Pleasures picks up at the cliffhanger from Dirty Billionaire. I have no idea how this marriage is going to go, but holding onto a piece of myself while succumbing to his dirty pleasures is shaping up to be the ride of a lifetime.
