Layla

Product Information

Colleen Hoover always writes the best twists and this one threw me for a loop. Honestly, there was a time where I wasn't sure if I was liking it or the characters, but then BAM. It got me. It gave me just the right amount of feels and the ending, though I wish it gave me a bit more, was still satisfying.

I think I may have also sang Eric Clapton’s Layla at the top volume so he putted duct tapes to cover my mouth, see I already started turning into Layla) And the final thing is the beginning of the book was too fast. It’s always a good thing to go straight to the point when you write a thriller. The fast pacing spins your mind and you are too hooked to learn what’s gonna happen next. Typically in a normal romance, it’s the other way around—y’know, when you’d lower the rating because something you didn’t like happen somewhere in the last 1/3 of the book. This is not your avarage romance. It’s . . . peculiar. There are creepy elements, but it’s not scary. It’s compelling and emotional, which basically sums up anything CoHo writes.

In short, I hated the first 70% but loved the remaining 30%. If you’re looking for a similar type of romance, I recommend Chase the Butterflies by Monica James. I know I like happy endings with a good HEA but this one left a sour taste in my mouth. I was unhappy with what happened to Sabel.

Querendo que Layla se recupere totalmente e assim quem sabe salvar o relacionamento deles que a cada dia está mais deteriorado, ele tem a ideia de levá-la até a pousada em que se conhecerem. So it's going to be impossible not to discuss this book and my thoughts in detail, and while I'm going to try not to spoil too much, there are a few twists I have to talk about so you know why I think this hero belongs in a clown college somewhere. Or maybe even jail.Finally! A PNR from CoHo, something I've been desperately hoping for and eagerly anticipating since she announced it forever ago, and if you're the type of person who isn't really into paranormal romance, you may still enjoy Layla. The story has a very mainstream feel and is surprisingly grounded for something containing a supernatural plot, while maintaining the author's approachable writing style. Two things before you glaze over and skim the rest of this review: 1) This book is not a thriller. It is a slow burning love story, and it does have a nice addition of some suspenseful build-up, but again, this is not a thriller. Please do not go into this book assuming it is a thriller and then complain about it not being a thriller after you finish. 2) This book is not Verity, although I could definitely see fans of that book enjoying this one. But again, Layla is not the next Verity. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover comes a novel that explores life after tragedy and the enduring spirit of love.
