I was expecting this to be fairly magic-heavy, and it wasn’t–the only real magical element is Lillian’s ghost. Once I got over this expectation (built up based on Yovanoff’s previous works), I enjoyed it for what it really is: an atmospheric mystery. Hannah is a smart investigator, and I really enjo...
4.5/5 stars.Paper Valentine is the first book by Brenna Yovanoff that I've read, and it certainly won't be my last. The book is written beautifully, with extremely gifted ways of phrasing simple thoughts and feelings. I was not expecting this book to be such an emotional rollercoaster, and will admi...
Paper Valentine was not what I’d expected. It was my first Yovanoff book, and so I really didn’t know what the author’s style was going to be like. I also didn’t look into any early reviews before starting the title so I went into it with little to no knowledge of what it might be like or much of wh...

You can read all of my reviews at Alluring Reads.Two murder mysteries in a row? Yes, please!

I’m a huge fan of author Brenna Yovanoff, I think that I’ve made that pretty clear in my past reviews of her works. She never ceases to surprise me and all of her stories leave me shocked, at a loss for words and absolutely dying for the next thing that she’ll come up with. Every single novel she w...
This is the first novel I've ever read by Brenna, and I was really excited to finally get stuck into something she has written. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by Paper Valentine, as it didn't live up to my expectations at all. This isn't going to stop me from reading The Replacement, though! Neve...
Being my first Yovanoff book, let's just say that I now consider myself a fan. I was terribly impressed with the writing: Brenna has a wonderful way with words that makes you feel all the creepy. The story which could easily have been a clichéd murder mystery, becomes a work of great atmosphere ins...
***FINAL RATING: 3.20 STARS***CATCHALLPaper Valentine, while not the most amazing book I've ever read, was throughly enjoyable. Thought I struggled to connect with the characters, I loved the mystery in the plot and the overall creepiness. It was a fantastic, unputdownable novel that I absolutely re...
