Annika is looking for her sister, after her own mistake caused her to be wrongly banished from her home. She left her insular, hidden community of Hannasvik to search the entire world for her, if she has to, carefully keeping knowledge of her origin secret. She knows that Hannasvik would not do well...
Yes, I was the kid reading under her desk
I really do love Brooks's Iron Sea's books. I read the first two a few weeks before this one came out, and I was glad I had three I could gobble up at once. This book is probably my favorite of the three so far. It was different and I liked that difference. Our main characters were BOTH vulnerable. ...

Rating: 4.5 StarsRiveted is definitely Meljean Brook's best to date and I'm only upset I now have to wait to read more by her. Needless to say, it'll be tough to follow this one up, but if anyone can pull it off, it'll be her. Riveted takes a pleasant detour from the world we've come to know from Me...

4.5/5I still don't think anything can beat the first book of the series, but Riveted came pretty darn close to it. And it's the characters that did it. Annika and David are so fabulous together, you stay glued to the book until the very end cheering for this couple. Annika is an absolute powerhouse ...

The first chapter or two dragged brutally owing to the insertion of exposition after every single line of dialogue or present-day action (and there was a little of that at the end, too, with clunky recapping of stuff that happened elsewhere, thou...

Well, that was a hot bath and a cup of tea on a rainy day of a book. Hero - not an asshat! Heroine - not stupid! How amazing that that's remarkable. The worldbuilding is laugh-out-loud charming, the plot happens at the proper pace, there's a dastardly villain and just enough complexity to keep it fr...

Say what you want, but Riveted was amazing. Meljean always creates worlds that I can't get enough of and characters I all but fall in love with, in fact, the only things all of her books have in common are the unique characters, actually romantic romance, and the compelling writing. There is no Melj...
