The Harder I Fall is an incredibly emotional read. There were so many moments when I just wanted to reach inside my Kindle and hug Becca and make things right for her and her brother. I empathized and related to so many aspects of this story and it made the entire book that much more meaningful.

Becca is an amazing girl, intelligent and caring and strong beyond her years. Her life has been tumultuous at best and deeply wounding at worst. She is broken inside and she has come to accept that show more she will never be able to live a normal life. That made it all the more sweet and romantic when her life began to change. Enter Levi, an amazing guy with some issues of his own. He starts out as the perfect Book Boyfriend, but as it always happens, there comes a time when he loses some of his shine. But the beauty of the story doesn't end with Levi. There is beauty in the friendships she has with her roommate Sadie and her boyfriend Julian, also Levi's best friend. There is also the unexpected family she finds, a family that shows what family should really be about.

I'm not going to lie... the ending shocked me! A good ending, but unexpected!

Things to love...

--Sadie. Kind, patient, and caring... everything a best friend should be, something that Becca needed in her life.
--Levi's parents. And I can't explain why without spoiling a fantastic story line!
--The deep and dark issues of life. They were dark, but they were real and poignant.

My Recommendation: Fantastic contemporary romance! I am reading the pre-release copy of the next book in the series, The Deeper We Get, and it is FANTASTIC!! I gave this one a 4.5 mugs! show less

I received a copy of this novel from Bewitching Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. Jilly and her twin sister Caroline have grown distant once they grew into their powers. Jilly accepts the gift she has, while her sister Caroline avoids hers like the plague, until now. This was a great romance novel, I really like the fact that they made Jillian and William soulmates. They’ve been bonded though time, I thought that was so romantic. Caroline returns home after having problems in show more her marriage. After a scary encounter she and her sister have with a strange man, Caroline decides to embrace her powers and become the person she’s destined to be. This was a well written novel that flowed nicely and even had a bit of mystery to it. Who is this mystery man that visits Caroline in her dreams? That part left me hanging, I guess I’ll have to read book 2 to find out. show less

I have been tired of vampire books recently, but I couldn’t put this one down. Both books in the series are rather short, almost serial length. My only complaint was that I wanted more. The ending of this one left me shaking my head going, “Oh holy shit! I did NOT see that coming!” Now, I cannot wait to read the next one. All I know is she needs to come on with it so I can figure out what the hell is going on with Rider.
