This story has a strong sense of place that really grabbed me. I truly loved the descriptions and narrations surrounding Icelandic history and lore. I was searching on google as I was reading so I could delve deeper!I also loved how the author created this sense of uncertainty and tension throughout...
I enjoyed the leisurely pacing of Fall Hard, a story where the romance took a back seat to the story of Paul trying to get back to his life researching and teaching in Iceland one year after the accident that took both the life of his lover Sven and all memory of his prior year in that country. The ...
Publisher: SamhainPublish Date: 17 SepHow I got this book: ARC from the publisher Some memories are better off lost in the mist… Eight months ago, British academic Paul Ansell lost his lover—and all the memories of their time together—in an accident at Iceland’s Gullfoss Falls. Returning to the mist...
Oh wow. This book stars an Icelandic Viking whose back is almost covered in a tattoo of Yggdrasil: the legendary Tree of Life. Now guess where its taproot disappears into...? Uhu! That must’ve been an interesting session at the tattoo shop! He he he... Ehm, so now that I’m already discussing ...
I’ll preface this by saying that Merrow has written some of my favorite books (Muscling Through, Pressure Head) but Fall Hard didn’t work for me.The story idea is interesting--MC Paul survived a fall off a waterfall in Iceland, but loses his memory of the year prior, meaning all his memories of his ...
Fall Hard is a novel steeped in Icelandic lore, vivid imagery, and a right interesting little mystery that hinges entirely upon Paul’s mind filling in the blanks so he can put paid to the past and carry on with the present. As is always the case with JL Merrow’s characters, each is distinctly appeal...
This was so disappointing, I was looking so forward to it. The story was just so trite I could see pages in the future, by the third chapter I had pretty much the whole plot figured out. I really didn’t like what I was seeing. I have never like books centered on cheaters, and I don’t care what t...
This was a very good read. It had a certain tension about it - the search for the past Paul had forgotten due to his accident makes for an interesting atmosphere.It was not too drawn out, had the right amount of "mystery" if you could call it that - and a bit of romance as well. I felt that the "lov...
3.5 bumped up to 4. Enjoyed this story, but not as much as some of her other work I've read. Still a good solid read with some yummy MC's and a little mystery thrown in.And that cover! Guh!
I'm a big JL Merrow fan and pre-ordered this book. The book was more mystery than romance and I missed a heavier romantic element. Part of that was that Paul was just so consumed by his memory loss and the frustration of that. And it was hard to know exactly how to take Viggo, if he was a good gu...
