Review Blitz: On the Other Side (Wayward Sons #5) by Harper Jackson


ON THE OTHER SIDE
Harper Jackson
Release Date: February 27

Available in Kindle Unlimited


I built my life on my belief in justice. Until the day the system proved me wrong.

Now I’m back on Hatterwick Island with nothing left—no career, no credibility, and no illusions about the law I once trusted. The only thing heavier than the guilt I carry is knowing I once turned my back on a man who didn’t deserve it.

Rios Carrera.

Twelve years ago, my cousin disappeared, and he was the last one to see her alive. I believed the whispers that he was responsible. I made him the villain of the story—and he has every reason to hate me for it.

But when a graduate student vanishes and the police insist she left of her own accord, Rios is the only one willing to look deeper. What starts as a search for the truth drags us into something darker than either of us imagined.

Reluctant allies become something far more dangerous. Because the closer we get to uncovering what’s been buried on this island for decades, the more I realize justice isn’t black and white…and the man I once condemned may be the only one I can trust with my life—and my heart.

MY REVIEW


Madden and Rios are both back on Hatterwick Island after having their careers fall apart. Before, they weren't exactly friends - he was an informal suspect in her cousin's disappearance, and she believed the (without evidence) things everyone was saying about him. But now, they're working together on a case that seems to have close ties to her cousin's disappearance. They're finding things on this island that have been buried, are coming to light. And the two of them are growing closer every day, so close that Rios is on the alert, ready to jump in and save her when things get really bad.


Rio and Madden's slow burn is so good. Their feelings evolve from wariness to interest to something infinitely stronger. Slow burn can be dare I say it, boring, but with this couple, there's so much else going on that the slow burn makes sense. I actually appreciate their slow burn. For one, it's not boring, their feelings are very obvious, as is their chemistry, and the overarching case is just as important, and blends naturally with the evolving relationship. This series just keeps bringing up more questions about the disappearance of Gwen (Madden's cousin), giving us some answers, but also making us impatient to finally know everything. I hope those answers are coming in the final book, when Jace's story drops.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
