Short AF Book Review | Norcliff | ARC Received By Netgalley

Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "Norcliff" by KA. Connolly. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Goodreads synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers so please keep that in mind!)

"A GREAT LOSS

Erin Hart is devastated when she loses her fiance and parents on her wedding day. To get her parents back, she must choose between bowing to the demands of the neighbouring Mortons or gathering what allies she can and fighting to free herself from their clutches.

A POWERFUL FOE.

The Mortons hold Erin's parents hostage and won't brook any refusal to comply with their wishes. Ardent Morton has demanded Erin's hand in marriage, and with it, the control of Erin's home, Norcliff.

A LOOMING THREAT.

Erin must travel to the capital to seek help from King Ulrich and the nobles at court, but with bandits harrying Arndale from the north, what aid can Erin hope to receive?"

I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley, however all opinions are my own.

So the reason I wanted to read this book is because I saw it on Netgalley and thought the story sounded really interesting! For me, I very much liked this book, I just didn't love it. This book was such an easy read in that it was fast paced, the slow burn romance was adorable and was genuinely had me giggling and kicking my feet at times. I really liked seeing the feminism and female friendship throughout this book and all of the characters were very much likeable. It just seemed sort of rushed in all the wrong places? There would be times where I wanted to know more about what was happening in certain points in the story and to find out more about what happened to specific characters and never got my questions answered. I guess what I'm saying is yes, this book was likeable, but it very much had it's flaws. Would this stop me from reading another K.A. Connolly book? No. Would I pick this up as a physical copy? Also no. However, if you do want a nice easy read which has topics of grief, action and slow burn romance, I would say to go for it when it comes to this one, just maybe don't expect all your questions to be answered.

I gave this book a 3/5 star rating on Goodreads!

This book is already out!
