Layla

Product Information

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. The sub-4-star rating should have been a tip off. If a CoHo book isn’t hovering at 4.25 or above on GR, something is amiss. So what’s amiss in Layla? Its main character is THE ABSOLUTE WORST P.O.S. I’VE COME ACROSS IN A BOOK IN YEARS.

While eleven-year-old Nora Davis was up in her bedroom doing homework, she had no idea her father was killing women in the basement.Hands down one of the best books I have read in a very long time! Where is the 10 star button Goodreads?? Give it to me now!!

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! There was only one woman who could set me free. But I would rather set myself on fire than ask Sloane Walton for anything.I never thought I’d feel more for someone than I felt that night. But right now . . . I’m feeling everything I can feel in this world, coupled with everything I could feel in Willow’s world. but regardless, this is another satisfyingly wonderful CoHo story and i would never expect anything less from the queen herself. If I wanted to read a book about a cheating or lying protagonist, I would have. The only story I have read with cheating as part of the plot is Forget Me Not by Q.B. Tyler. I knew there was cheating, and I knew what I was getting myself into, which is why I didn’t allow myself to be affected by it when I reflected on my final thoughts. Although I don't like and accept cheating at all, no matter what reason, fictional cheating I can stand as long as I mentally prepare myself. If I am not ready to read a book with cheating characters or want to read it, I won't. In this case, cheating and lying were two things I didn't know were big on the plot, so my mood was completely faltered. You know that book that you open up and you instantly feel a connection to? The one that even if you put it down, you can't stop thinking of? That you carry around everywhere with you? THIS is that book for me! I have been in a bit of a book funk, taking at least a week to read a book...this was less than a day...I seriously didn't want it to end. This is not also one of the angsty, tear jerker, whiny winey Colho romances( that’s me who gets whiny and need gallons of wines at every time I had an ultra emotional Colho experience)

She’s the victim now, even though she’s unaware of it. The only thing Layla did wrong is fall in love with me. Layla is just this girl at her sister's wedding, where Leeds's band is playing. They meet and instantly fall in love. We know that from "The Interview" chapters, where Leeds is describing everything that happened between him and Layla to a mysterious man. Whatever box you try put it in, it just bulges out, encompassing ALL the elements and ALL the emotions that go with it. So what is this about? A musician named Leeds and a woman named “Layla” (no, not that Layla, though I can’t get the Eric Clapton song out of my head and I’m not sorry about it!).The first 70% had my sense of loyalty warring with my guilt (👎), and the remaining 30% had me feeling all sorts of mushy (👍).

But the crux of the issue is that Leeds isn't written as a villain. He's the main character of the love story, and we are supposed to sympathize with him and cheer him on. And when we get to the resolution, it obviously tries to justify what Leeds did. But that's problematic too because he did not actually know of these justifications when he committed his horrible acts. From author Colleen Hoover comes a novel that explores life after tragedy and the enduring spirit of love.

Následne však kniha prejde cez romantiku k tragédii, dráme, thrilleru, proste celá škála žánrov. Niekomu to môže vadiť, ak čakal iba romantiku, prípadne nemusí byť fanúšikom paranormálnych javov, avšak mne to presne takto vyhovovalo a fascinovalo ma to :) Netušila som do čoho idem a tak to bolo pre mňa o to väčšie prekvapenie. To mi inak dosť vadí na slovenskej obálke, že v podstate ničí čitateľom ten moment prekvapenia, keď nastúpi do deja paranormálno, nakoľko z obálky je to dosť zjavné. Rovnako aj tá prvá veta hneď v anotácii... Som fakt rada, že som mala možnosť si to prečítať bez týchto spoilerov ešte v angličtine. When I heard this was paranormal, I thought it would be about a ghost or someone haunting the couple's house, making their life complicated in ways. While it is, it isn't how I expected it to. I didn't think Leeds would become attracted to Willow as if the past 8 months with Layla were nothing to him. Seriously, this man really started imagining Willow blowing him when it was Layla, yet he doesn't even know what Willow looks like. But, one way or another, he managed to hope. He even admitted that his feelings for Layla were basically gone and moved on to Willow.
