Whispers in the Woods: Review

From Goodreads:
Vol. I
When Evie Parker meets Lucas Spencer she begins to feel hope again. Lately she's been going through life in a fog and Lucas is all about teaching her how to have fun again. For the first time since the accident she knows what it means to be happy.

So who cares if Lucas is a little odd. It isn't that strange that she's never met his parents, or that teachers never seem to notice when he's late for class. Evie tries not to care, but on top of all his peculiar behavior she's been feeling kind of sick lately-- ever since she met Lucas actually.

When Lucas decides it is time to come clean with all his secrets Evie has to make some hard decisions.

Vol. II
All Evie wants is a little bit of normal in her life-- is that really too much to ask?

Lucas isn't normal, but he makes her happy. That should count for something. Evie thinks she can find a balance that will let her be normal and also be with him.

Of course she hadn't counted on adding his family into the mix, or his ex-girlfriend.

Life with an elf is never boring.

Vol III
Lucas and Evie were finally at a place where Evie was comfortable with her mix of normal human teenager and fantastical elf boyfriend. Then she went and got herself crushed by a tree.

Evie wakes up with a whole lot of extra issues to deal with. Not the least of which is a trip inside the Veil to see Lucas's home. She never would have agreed to go if she'd known she was going to have her own secret to hide.

My Review:
This book is a collection of the three stories in this series. Which roughly, I think made it into a whole book, since the 3 stories were novellas, not full length novels. So it was really great to read all of these together!

The world in this, of elves, was really interesting and great to read! How things were developed, why they worked that way, those details were really interesting to me! It brought things to life, off the page, and into my imagination!

These characters, it was fantastic to watch them change over the course of these 3 stories! Things happened, and things got more and more complicated, and it was just fantastic to read about that! So enjoyable!

I loved how everything grew and changed over these stories! Things weren't how they were in the beginning, with all the things they fought through, went through, and yeah, it as really great to read it! Yeah, I know I pretty much said that before!

Yeah, I really enjoyed being able to read these, from beginning to end! It was really great!

Bio:
When TJ isn't reading or writing (which is almost never), she is enjoying a blissfully boring life with her family in Maryland. Her two greatest wishes are to serve on a Starfleet Starship or to be invited to join the Justice League. Sure her chances are slim, but she's a big believer in dreaming big.

A hopeless romantic to her very core, TJ's books explore every corner of the wobbly-kneed-world of romance novels. She has a particular penchant for Young Adult themes. Dell's debut novel 'Her Best Friend's Brother' is enjoying its tenth month as an Amazon best seller, and her popular Elfkin Series is hot on its heels.
