13/01: Serious question, what is it with me and getting declined for the arcs for all books I'm super excited for?Me reading the blurb.

1) this sounds so cool (no pun intended) 2) I think this is literally one of the prettiest covers I have EVER seen. I can't stop staring at it. Wow.Thank you so much to HarperTeen for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I love the premise of this book and it definitely lived up to my expectations! Seasons of the Storm is a modern-day urban fantasy-esque story in which characters are the embodiments of the four seasons and must kill the Season that comes before them, every year, in order for their season to officially begin and continue the cycle. When Jack Sommers lays dying he’s given a choice. Choose death or choose to become a Winter and live a life of semi-immortality. Jack has been a Winter for over thirty...

Review coming soon

2.5 StarsI was really excited for this book, because I love nature personified stories and forbidden love seasons against all odds sounded amazing to me. But I just gradually started loosing interest while reading and would go out of my way to pick out another book. I was hoping/expecting a lush fantasy world with a well established environment as the setting, but the story felt much more sci-fi and definitely was a urban fantasy. Which I typically love, it just wasn't what I was expecting going...

Title: Seasons of the StormSeries: Seasons of the Storm #1Author: Elle CosimanoRelease date: June 23, 2020Cliffhanger: NoGenre: YA fantasy “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity. A perfect storm lies ahead. You can let it destroy you, or you can take control of it. How the story ends is up to you.”Seasons of the Storm was a phenomenal teen fantasy loaded with originality. At this point I've read quite a lot of this genre, and yet this story still managed to feel refreshingly new and

Jack and Fleur, a Winter and a Spring, fall for each other against all odds. I WANT IT, I NEED IT, TAKE MY MONEY, PLEASE.

Honestly, my feelings about this one are so mixed! The concept is so very interesting, and the author certainly executed aspects of the lore for the Seasons in the story in a way that I wasn’t expecting (but was good). But the first half this book felt a little slow, and I didn’t really end up feeling a connection to the main characters either. I will say that it definitely picked up in the latter half of the story, and that I thought it stuck the landing for the way it all ended, which definite...

8. March 2020This is fan service for all of us who thirsted after Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians. Prove me wrong😂

YALL I'M GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF GETTING DISAPPOINTED OVER NEW RELEASES. I'm really disappointed with this one. It really met none of my expectations and it's so different from what I was expecting. I feel like everything was out of place and I just didn't like the worldbuilding or the pacing. I don't connect with the characters at all and it's just feel flat. I skimmed most part of the book since i felt like I didn't care anymore.

Reading the blurb like, hmmm...ok....Oh wow. Then, wait, Jack? Like Jack Frost? Like a Jack Frost retelling? No effing way man sign me the eff up!

I just love the idea of people becoming physical manifestations of the four seasons.Please tell me this was inspired by Vivaldi's Four Seasons Suite.

I was so excited to read this book because the concept sounded so interesting and I’m happy to say that my excitement was well-placed! I loved that it was a loose Jack Frost retelling with such an original twist.Seasons of the Storm is about teens who embody the magic and powers of one of the four seasons, and who must hunt and kill the season before theirs in order for their own season to take over to continue the cycle. This follows four seasons in particular, Fleur 🌷, Jack❄️, Amber🍁 and Julio...

Blog | Instagram | Twitter | AmazonThank you Edelweiss and HarperTeen for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are mine. "Winter's crown may be heavy on your head.But you hold eternal spring in your heart." If someone of flesh and blood embodied the concept of a season, what would that life entail? I don't think that I ever got an answer to that simple question. That's my main bone to pick with this novel: things are never quite concrete. Our world has four seasons, each waning and renewing dep...

I've read a lot of non-flattering reviews about this book, but you know what? This is the perfect example of a fantasy YA: challenges, growth, love, loss, mystic elements, and friendship. The latter in particular made me enjoy the story even more than I expected. Most of the time is all about love and, sorry to say that, in the end, someone always dies. What starts as friendship basically always ends up in love, and even if I fancy that I'm happy for once love is not the main topic. From how I s...

Thank you so much HarperTeen (HarperCollins) for providing me a free copy through Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review.Super intriguing premise, but sadly it didn’t pan out to full potential.CHARACTERS:I had such a hard time with these protagonists (and characters in general): they all felt shallowly built to the point where I had to check multiple times whose POV I was going through.All the details that build a fictional characters (their fears, their dreams, their feelings) were withhold

Have you ever added a book to your TBR with so much excitement? That was me for this book. I mean, how could you not be intrigued by a Jack Frost Retelling? If you aren't, then.. something is obviously wrong with you. Just saying.Seasons of the Storm was a pretty good book. I definitely enjoyed the audiobook version but I will admit that I was super bored with some chapters. I mean the whole thing with each season killing the one before sounded pretty cool. Yet, the whole cycle did get repetitiv...

In Seasons of the Storm, you'll meet four teenagers who died and became immortal when they had the choice to die or to become a Season. In this world, Spring kills Winter, Summer kills Spring, Autumn kills Summer and Winter kills Autumn ... over and over and over... The quicker they kill the other, the better ranked they are and they can earn promotions to be somewhere better for them (Alaska for Winter for example). On the other hand, if they hesitate and take too much time to kill the other, t...

This was my most anticipated read in June 2020, so you know what that means! Yep, I hated it. I did think this was going to be a fantasy, not an urban fantasy so that did throw me off. Having these Seasons, living embodiments of elements, live in such a stark, technology heavy environment seemed like a jarring choice, but that's not what killed the story for me.The story throws you into the action, showing Jack's death and then skipping to when Jack has been working as a season for some years. T...
