One Sentence Review: “Autumn” is a highly-enjoyable read, with solid writing and a unique take on shape-shifter lore.
Spoiler-Free Summary: When Eloise “Lou” Whittaker moves to a small town in Texas, she knows it’ll be different from her old home in California. But she doesn’t realize how drastic the differences will be until she meets Cooper Reynolds—a boy who might be cursed, might be dangerous, and has definitely stolen Lou’s heart.
The Good: There are a lot of good aspects of this book, and it’s hard to pick just a few for this review. I absolutely adored Lou; she’s snarky, witty, and rebellious. And Cooper was just too sweet! I’m very glad this book is written in dual POVs, because I really got a feel for both of these awesome characters.
The plot took me by surprise—I was expecting a typical shape-shifter story, and instead got a book about magic and curses. I really liked this twist on shape-shifter lore, and was happy to read a unique take on the subject.
As for the writing, it was very solid and enjoyable. I noticed a couple typos, but overall, this book is extremely well-edited for an indie novel.
The Bad: Cliffhanger alert! I usually love cliffhangers, but this ending just felt a little bit too rushed. I wish there had been a longer resolution after the climax. Other than this, there was little I have to complain about.
The Verdict: 4 out of 5 stars. I look forward to reading the sequel, “Winter” which comes out this November.
