About this deal

Well, I'm going to be an outlier with this one. I didn't like Layla. Not because of Layla but because of Leeds. other than guy gaslights girl. (Oh and insta-love, but that’s kind of a given in a CoHo book.) That gaslighting though? Oof! I’m all for characters that break bad, but the author has to convey some level of awareness that it’s happening. Here we’re just supposed to keep rooting for him and a happy ending. Which I did, until I realized the gaslighting had happened to me too. Když se zastavím u hlavních postav Leedse a Layli, tak mi přišo, že jsou napsaní tak, aby si je čtenář neoblíbil. Leeds je prostě boyfriend kterého nechcete - manipulátor, sobec a přestože na konci ho máme asi litovat nebo ho chápat, tak mě prostě neskutečně vytáčel. U Layli mám zase pocit, že jí nebylo dáno dostatečně prostoru, aby jsme ji mohli poznat a tím pádem s ní soucítit. Mě vlastně na konci bylo úplně jedno jak to dopadne. Nejlepší na tom všem byla Willow. Také mě štvalo, že celou knížku vyprávěl Leeds. A upřímně tím, že jsem knihu měla jako audioknihu, tak ten kdo jí namluvil, mu taky zrovna dvakrát nepomohl. Neither of us speaks for a moment after she says that. It’s tough, because we both know this is wrong, but I think we’re both hoping the other one doesn’t put a stop to it. We obviously enjoy each other’s company or we wouldn’t be doing this night after night.

The characters of Leeds, Layla & Willow are tied to each other, not just physically and emotionally, but their Connection transcends into the uncharted territory of metaphysical as well. Lenže táto kniha aj keď nebola zlá, tak som zistila, že túto tému s nadprirodzenými vecami a pod., nie je až taká moja šálka kávy, a vôbec mi nesadla. Ale chápem autorku, chcela niečo nové vyskúšať, tak vyskúšala a ja jej to vobec neberiem. Skôr by som povedala, že ľudia, ktorí sa určitým spôsobom tejto téme zaoberajú, poprípade tomu veria, tak ich to baviť určite bude. Aj keď ja osobne týmto veciam neverím, a neviem ako autorka, či to bola iba jej fantázia, alebo si o tom niečo pred písaním knihy naštudovala, alebo aj keby to bolo celé iba výmysel (to už musí posúdiť každý zvlášť), tak aj tak mám pocit, že veľa z vás z knihy dostane veľmi zaujímavé informácie. I know I like happy endings with a good HEA but this one left a sour taste in my mouth. I was unhappy with what happened to Sabel. Desde o primeiro momento em que Leeds pousou seus olhos em Layla, ele ficou completamente fascinado por seu jeito de ser.

I loved, loved, loved that Layla's sister was a nurse (nice touch CoHO, well done, I as a nurse approve)! As her bio reads, she doesn't like to be boxed into a genre....well she killed it!! Absolutely killed it! I have read only two CoHo books- Verity and this one and I can't sing enough praise for both!

During the day when I’m chatting with Willow on the computer, I spend that time wishing she could take over Layla and I could talk to her face to face.Layla is the perfect creepy read for readers like me. I don't want anything too scary, but this is just spooky enough- especially great for fall. E uma história que você só vai entender este misto de sentimentos se ler. Te garanto que você vai achar diversas opiniões divergentes sobre ele. Honestly, the whole thing was so horrifying and hard to read, I had to take breaks after almost every paragraph. I definitely did not expect to be reading, in detail, one person emotionally torturing another person, all in the name of love.
