(I received a free copy of this book from Patchwork Press, through NetGalley, in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I like books with romance in them, especially otherworldly romances, like paranormal and the like. But, really, so long as they have an interesting plot, I’ll read and probably enjoy just about any kind of romance.
I originally entered to win a copy of this book on Goodreads, but then I was approved to read a copy through NetGalley.
I did really enjoy reading this book. I really liked the fact that the characters were more in the grey areas, rather than just black and white.
The romance between Lana and Bruce came across really well, despite the fact that a lot of their relationship had romance in it. However, I have to say, the word ‘boobs’ makes me cringe – it comes across, to me, as a really juvenile descriptive word. Possibly because I always imagine it being yelled out by a teenaged boy.
The other characters in this book were well-written as well, though I really disliked John. He was the only character who I couldn’t see any good in.
I felt that the book was very light on the science fiction aspects, but the technology was clearly further advanced than the present day, even though I could recognise some of it – the use of the pads, for instance.
When Lana and Tori were texting/messaging each other at the beginning of the story, they did sound a bit juvenile. It put me off a little, but that didn’t last long.
This isn’t a sweet, light romantic read. Bruce is completely honest when he says he isn’t a nice man. But it was a romance I could believe in. I would recommend this book if you like, or don’t mind, darker romances.

I like your words. The way you write feels really, like, organic. Some of your compliments for Chase You to the Sun give me the feeling that when you’re reading, the things that stand out to you, pop for me as well.
So, if you’re into indie-books at all, I have a full one up on my blog for free. I’d love a review if it catches your interest, but no obligation 🙂
Thanks. It’s sometimes difficult to write a review without giving too much away, so it’s always a nice feeling when someone else likes the reviews I write.
I’d love to read your book, but it’ll take me a little while to get to. Unfortunately, I bit off a bit more than I can chew and currently have a hugely long list of books to read.
From where I’m standing, your review didn’t give anything away at all (coming from someone who hasn’t read the story though xD). You kept things concentrated on the characters, and made sure the plot stayed mystical!
It’s no worries at all if you can’t get around to a review; I’m just trying to make the online world aware of my story! So, don’t feel obligated to write a review if you get around to checking it out! 🙂
I’m not sure why this isn’t letting me reply to your comment, but I’ll post it here.
I’m glad the review didn’t give anything away – I always include a warning just to be on the safe side, though.
I’ve started writing reviews for everything I read, so when I get round to reading your book, I will definitely write a review… it’s just the getting to reading it that’ll take a little while.
Well, thanks! I really appreciate it 🙂
No problem. I never say no to a free book. (Which is now becoming a bit of a problem…)
