Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa
4.0
I loved the characters in this book, Callie was likeable and following her was great she’d had a hard life but that doesn’t stop her from being a badass. Des I loved Des he was everything I wanted dark, mysterious yet loving and caring. Callie’s best friend Temperance was awesome and I need more of her story please.
The world was built well as a set up, here in the world supernaturals are known to exist they even have there own police force I liked that. I do wish there was more development in Des’s world, maybe in the books that follow?
The writing was well done fast paced, I loved the flashbacks we got that was one of my favourite things that came from this story, they didn’t take away from the overall narrative just added to it!
The plot was slightly predictable as I read this as buddy read we both predicted something that came to pass, I mean maybe the sequels will have more shock value.
I was quite invested in this story and these characters, it gave me A court of mist and fury vibes and I was living for it. I will definitely be picking up the other book in this series!

I loved the characters they were well done and I was glad they fit well together. Delaney was dubbed the nerd girl which she embraces, Maverick the he man of the football team is on track for the NFL. Both dealing with there life’s they kiss once in freshmen year and then never really talk afterward but things happen throwing them together and it turns out opposites attract and people can be more than one thing! Even the side character were interesting and I’m so glad we get a book with Ryker next.
The book was lacking some atmosphere, the tensions in the smutty scenes were all done if not a little short, the build up to the main plot line could have been more developed and shown more of what was at risk instead of telling would have went a long way.
The writing was good, I read Dear Ava by this author first and the I feel her writing was amazing in that so maybe just every book gets better? I don’t know but I plan to find out because the two books I have read have been great and I want more in life.
I wanted more from the plot at it was predictable and I I knew how things would work out there was only on thing I didn’t predict, I was intrigued to know what would have happen and how things would plan out. I was also really invested in the main couple and glad we got an insight in the epilogue which was set a few years later. Fairytale ending?
I did enjoy this I flew through it, is it a masterpiece no but I had fun I read it in a day and really had a great time doing so and I plan on picking up the rest in this series.

I felt like the characters were well suited to the plot, I do wish there was more development because the thing is I didn’t really care when they started dying of simply because I wasn’t given enough information to care about them as people. I think the two cared most for was Danny and Erin one of the main POVs was Erin and I think it was great because she made me care for her and Danny but the rest of them not much feeling either way.
I love the atmosphere of this book, cosy yet luxury villa in the alps surrounded by snow and fire places with a built in chef whose food sounds amazing. It would be a great vacation if people weren’t dying. Which changes the setting to aww that would be a lovely get away to get me the hell outta here.
It’s not secret Ruth Ware knows what she’s doing, I mean I’m not normally interested in plots surrounding a company or business but she made me care about snoop, and when I thought things were going slow it turn a page and bam fire would be added.
I’m a sucker for a plot that involves a group of people who go to a out the way place only to get trapped with a murderer. The escape room type feeling, the claustrophobic atmosphere creating for the perfect setting for a plot to unfold this can be boring or predictable which at point this book was but it was done well.
As I said I have very little interest about business and plot lines that follow companies but this book made me care, it made me care about the staff and yes even some of the residents and trust me not all of them were exactly likeable or my cuppa tea. The intrigue really kicks off with the first kill after that I was intrigued.
They all go a trip to figure out what they are going to do with the company, then people start dying. Yes it’s logical that this could happen but I just think if we got more about the characters and there past together the reveal would have been more shocking, I think it was made a little to obvious who the odd man out was.
I did enjoy this book overall, i think the atmosphere and the plot really made it for me. The mystery was a little to simple and the murders a little lack lustre. An easy read maybe better for people new to the genre.
