My Review:
In His Eyes is a quick, easy and lovely read from the first short story to the last. The stories really warms your heart. It’s full of sweet moments of first loves and kisses and even moments of discovering love for the first time.
I enjoyed every single story within the book. Each story was in the point of view of the male perspective which really surprised me. I always struggle to connect with male perspectives, but not this time around. Each male character had a unique voice some may have even captured my heart. These boys are surely swoon-worthy. It was a great idea for the authors to place the male character as the main point of view because it’s always nice to know what’s going on in their heads.
I also liked that none of the stories blended together. Not one story was the same and each story was completely different from each other. A few had paranormal aspects, some sci-fi and there was also a dystopian setting too. I enjoyed diving into a new adventure with every story. I was surprised to encounter aliens, gods, mermaids, spies and mind readers. Each story easily lures you in and because each story is quite short, you’re left wanting more of the characters and the story overall.
Some stories were a part of a series, an excerpt or prequels, so at times I was a little confused with the plot but this didn’t take out the overall enjoyment. Some of the stories really stuck with me so much that I decided that I couldn’t resist looking for more of the characters. I especially enjoyed Mind Games by Susan Kaye Quinn, In the Beginning by Katie Klein, Unspeakable by S.R. Johannes, By The Firelight by Elle Strauss and Before by Jessie Harrell.
Overall, In His Eyes is fantastic collection of love stories that will surely make you smile.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Lovely review! I can't wait to read this one. All the stories sound so cute. Hmm I didn't know that some were prequels to series and such. Glad it wasn't to confusing to the point that you couldn't enjoy it. :)
