So Close | Sylvia Day

Characters were a bit too flawless when it comes to looks. But it was like watching a soap opera and I found it easy to be entertained by the book. There were several characters who were plotting something and I wanted to see what they were up to. Unfortunately there are still many questions without answers after finishing.

This was mysterious, even though I think the story could have been more so. I had fun time with this.

Characters are likable and realistic, and I like them more and more after every book.

I am not a big fun of this kind of crimes: deaths that have happened during the war. They doesn't feel intriguing enough, somehow. That made this book worse than the first books in the series, this was boring. And then there was a side story that had nothing to do with the main plot and felt super unnecessary.

I still love the setting!

Winnie is just so uninteresting MC and that might have made this hard to read. Winnie was so flat, she was just her holes.

This maybe had more plot than the other books but I am not sure how skillful the author is to write. The story didn't feel intriguing enough to keep me interested.

The thing I love in this series is interesting characters. Mysteries aren't that exciting and things get revealed pretty slowly. But I enjoy these books because they are cozy so they are the right choice if I want to read something comfortable. I love to follow characters' lives, for example now I was curious to see if someone starts a relationship with someone or not.

It was fun to follow Cherry's story, how she made friends and found her place in the new environment.

This was super fun to read, so nostalgic.

I liked characters, there was something really sympathetic in the robots. Victor was also relatable, even though I still wonder why these are marcheted as adult books.

I read this at the right situation, I mean when I really needed something really simple, light, fun and comforting.

Characters weren't likable - they were morally grey. I really love that kind of characters. Like I said they weren't likable but I love to read about them xD

This was a dark and ugly story, but I loved it. I loved political plotting and betrayals.

This was a great story about people who had lust for power and oh boy how far they were willing to go! Reading this was like watching a train wreck.

I couldn't relate to characters, they felt too flat. I was intrigued at the beginning but soon noticed how almost nothing was happening. To be honest I was a bit bored. The writing was also overly descriptive to my taste (I don't have to know everything about everyone's appearances).

I wouldn't say that this was a bad read but bland.

Characters felt realistic. I loved especially the beginning of the book where a main character was grieving for loosing her close one. That was relatable.

The beginning was scarier than the rest of the book and that might have also made the beginning better.

This felt a bit repetitive: the same pattern happened several times. The last part was a bit luch.

I loved characters, even secondary ones!

This was delightfully cosy & fun to read. I thought the mystery would play a bigger role but this was more a romance than anything else.

I loved this, this book was really entertaining and made me laugh. A perfect for a moment when you want to read something light.

I liked Harbinder! I also appreciated diverse characters.

I really love gothic atmosphere, this reminded me of that. I loved the mixture of darkness and common police work. The setting was amazing!

The murderer was a bit too easy to guess beforehand but this was really enjoyable to read.

I didn't really care for characters, nor the plot. Characters were too flat and felt the same.

I am disappointed how little world building these books have: the setting is amazing & magical but all the descriptions are totally missing.

I don't like cliffhanger endings either and this had one.
