Review: The Magic is Back
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 22, 2014
Kaleidoscope is the 6th in the Colorado Mountain Series by Kristen Ashley. Though it can easily stand alone, I highly recommend the whole series, it's one of my favorites. When I finished Kaleidoscope, I hugged my kindle, and thought "she's back." Since Kristen has gone the traditional publishing route, though I still loved her books, I felt like they had lost a bit of the magic. I think the magic is back in Kaleidoscope, though this was a bit more subtle than some of her other books.Likes:•I laughed, I cried, and I hugged my Kindle.•I cried the KA happy tears.•The detail that I love was back.•Visiting with all of the previous Colorado Mountain characters, as well as a few from the Rock Chicks.•Jacob Decker. YUMMY.•Emme was spunky and feisty and independent.•The significance of the Kaleidoscope.•The intelligent banter between the couple.•The closeness between Deck and Chace.•The closeness between Emme and her parents.•Buford!•I even liked how Emme's home and truck had personality.•Loved the epilogue.Dislikes:•It bothered me a bit that Deck never noticed Emme that way until she lost 30 pounds and grew her hair.•The ending was a bit abrupt.•Fake-out end at 92% with another preview of The Gamble. (Grrrrr, I HATE that!)See the full review as well as daily sales and freebies at Ana's Attic Book Blog
