Honestly one of my favorite books. When I think I finally figured everything out they added more. I was always walking on eggshells and holding my breath. The world building was amazing and so were the relationships. This was my first ever romantasy and now I want to read more. There was so much plot and romance and everything I enjoy in a book. DEFINTELY recommend everyone reads this it is so worth it. It was such an easy read that I forgot time was passing. The main character is so easy to relate too. She felt as if she didn't belong, and she won't live up to everyone's expectations. I think we all have felt that way before. I found myself in her. One of the BEST books ever!

I think this book is perfect for a younger age demographic than I am. I could see myself absolutely loving it in late elementary to middle school. It’s like a great introduction to YA Fantasy.

Unfortunately, because I am older, I just don’t think this book is for me but, also because I’m older, I think that’s completely okay! Regardless, thank you so much to Aethon Books for letting me read it!

You know that tingly feeling you get in your chest when something just hits right? This book did that for me.

The Concealed is a YA romance book that follows Cate a girl off to collage in Britain, little does she know that her true identity is about to be revealed. She’s the chosen one.

This was a fun easy read, I will say it was very YA and I expect that audience is going to absolutely love this thing. The writing was good, the characters were fun, and the world building was pretty good.

I loved how Cate was so human in her reactions to things, she didn’t jump into a new world and immediately become the best at everything, she struggles and she cries and that all made her very relatable.

I’ll be here for the next one!

All Cate was hoping for when she moved to England was to be able to get into her dream college for graduate school - Cambridge - with a full scholarship to Staton University paving the way. Unfortunately, Cate finds herself in a world of trouble from the get go, with attacks and attempted kidnappings coming from every direction. Thankfully, she is rescued by two boys - Daniel and Lucas - who seem to dislike each other, and the only thing they agree on is protecting her. Surprise! She finds out she actually comes from a parallel world and is supposed to fulfill a prophecy. What’s a girl to do?

I found the premise of this story to be quite interesting, but overall I found the delivery to be somewhat lacking. I felt the story writing felt a bit rushed. I would have loved to see a bit more story and character development instead of feeling like each stage was just a checkbox to get through. If you enjoy YA fantasy with new settings, definitely give it a try!

Disclaimer: I received a copy this book through Net Galley, but the thoughts and opinions are my own.

A very good attempt at writing romantasy however, it failed to meet my expectations. Maybe I went in with too much hope so that’s not really the author’s fault.

There were a number of issues I had with this book. The first one being the writing; it felt very juvenile at times. And the author tried to condense all these tropes in this one little book (of 200 something pages?) and it did not mesh well at all.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Overall I enjoyed this book. It was an easy read, with some interesting plots. I found the beginning somewhat rushed, big experiences and emotions portrayed in quick succession without much development.

For me the main downside to this was that the relationship between Cate and Daniel felt so rushed. They were in love without any real time together. The intensity felt forced at first. However as the story went on, the time we had been reading made that easier to accept. The writing for them was a bit cliche at times, but it was harmless.

I enjoyed the overall feel of the book. I wish more time had been spent on the world created, but it was still a pleasant read.

This was such a great book! I think that the storyline was well thought out and easy to follow and the writing was phenomenal! I loved the story and the characters so much!

Slightly too YA for me with the writing style and a few too many tropes thrown into one book. Nice world building and would probably be better for a younger audience than what I was expecting

A quick YA romantasy read with all the tropes. Possibly too many tropes in one small book. I think it could find a (very) young audience but the comps are doing it a disservice. The juvenile writing is suited to a much younger demographic than the comparisons to Sarah J Maas or Rebecca Yarros. Although the protagonist is college-aged, this reads like an upper middle grade series. The pacing could use some edits. The story starts abruptly for the first 10% and then drags through repetitive travel plots that don't advance the story much all the way up to 50%. Nothing much happens until the end when it all comes crashing together, which makes it pretty jolting to read.

Thank you Netgalley, S.K. Horton, and Aethon Books, LLC for this Arc in return for an honest review.

2⭐️- The book follows Cate as she heads from Oregon to England where she meets Lucas and Daniel only to learn she is from a different world.

This was a quick YA read, but it did not fully hold my attention. The writing style fell short and felt a little gimmicky to me.
