Author: Rese

Hi, I'm Rese. I'm starting out on the road to wellness. My journey will not look like yours. And I guarantee that there will be many stumbles along the way. Life happens, and to be honest, I known that I won't break years of bad habits overnight. But I will keep moving forward. I won't let it defeat me. My goal is not to lose weight, although that would definitely be welcome, but instead to lower my blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol by finding a healthier way of eating. A way that works for me and my lifestyle. Some days will be perfect and some days will look like a train wreck, but eventually, I hope there are more good days than bad ones. Or at least that's the goal!

STAR BRINGER

I genuinely yearned to fall head over heels for this book by Tracy Wolff, and while it didn’t completely capture my heart this time around, I’m absolutely thrilled to place it back on my TBR list for another exhilarating journey later! The concept was nothing short of spectacular! The characters were simply remarkable. The story concluded with a tantalizing cliffhanger, and even though I haven’t caught wind of any whispers about a sequel yet, I’m brimming with hope that it’s on the horizon. Then, I can revel in rereading book 1 alongside the thrilling book 2!

POWERFUL

Powerful is best experienced alongside Powerless. Although it isn’t an official part of the trilogy, the narrative centers on Paedyn’s best friend Adena and her captivating love interest, Mak. The story delivers an emotional punch that is both profound and unforgettable. I rated it 2 stars because it didn’t quite resonate with me as much as Powerless and Reckless, but it’s absolutely worth the read.

WHAT IF YOU ARE THE ANSWER?

I have always been a fan of Rachel Hollis, even during her time writing The Girls books, which are excellent – if you haven’t read them, you absolutely should. However, this particular book felt somewhat lacking, through it may have just been my mood at the time. I’m definitely adding it backing to my TBR list and will read it again later.
