This one was cute as well. I liked the POV and hearing about the last part of school. The living situations changing and the dramas there, I found it light on Tully and Kit drama and high on friend drama. It was good but very short. Interested to see where the next one takes us!

A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

This is the second book in the Kit & Tully series. I liked this one so much better than the first one, it was super interesting to read the continuation of their story from Kit’s side. I believed that I enjoy this one more because we can see a deeper understanding of Kit’s feelings and how develop. We can see her grow through the book. Up next for me is the 3rd book. I can't wait to continue his series.


Thank you NetGalley and Indie Ink for allowing me to read this ARC for my honest opinion.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with this title.

I enjoyed reading this book from Kit's POV. I am excited to see where the rest of this series goes.

Kit and Tully's story continues with Kit's last year in school before college and Tully's working while navigating being in a band. Kit continues to believe she made a deal to get Tully either fame or love, while everyone else is skeptical as to that having happened. Though Tully is no longer with Black Death after Mac Whitehead ousted him without a comment, he has found a new band and is gaining traction with them. The story ends with Kit's graduation but leaves the anticipation of whether Kit and Tully's love story will triumph or will Tully's fame win over all.

This is the second book in the series. Fair warning it is not a stand alone.
I love lad how it picked right up and was told by Kit this time. Kit is struggling with does Tully have to chose love or music. Even with her insecurities she still pushes Tully towards his dream.
This book offers for insight into the parents, and the struggles that Tully faces on a daily.
Of course the author Mocha Avon Bee left us with another cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to see what happens in Book 3.

I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.

The second installment in the Kit and Tully series, this book is written from Kit's POV. In this book we get a more in depth view of their relationship and how music can and will affect it. I enjoyed that their was more romance in this book and that we get a more in depth view of Kit and her relationships with her family and at school. This helped me connect with the characters more. Again, with the same as the last book, I think both books could be put together with different chapters from a different characters point of view to limit the amount of filler that is in the book. However, saying this, First Valentine is a nice, quick, easy read if you want a hit of romance with a mix of magic.

Kit and Tully are back.

They are as adorable as ever. Tully is still the greatest human ever. They go through some hard times but he is always smiling.

Kit! I want her to realize she deserves Tully and not self sabotage. Be happy, chase your dreams, and let Tully decide what life he wants.

This review will be referring back to my review of "First Kiss", the first book in this series: https://www.librarything.com/work/29390046/reviews/232670175

So this was the 2nd instalment, and I liked it better. Told from Kit's pov, her actions and reactions are those of a typical teenager: one minute going out of her way to make sure Tully can have a career in showbiz, the next being jealous of the time he spends with his bandmates, one minute her life is at an end unless she can go to art college, the next, she's OK with her parents plans as long as she can move in with her friends, showing her as a totally immature, therefore believable, character. Tully's mother's illness, hinted at in the first book, is finally confirmed, making the move from Dublin to the small town of Drimshanra even more illogical, as she must travel to Dublin for treatment. Luckily, Kit's mom steps in, finding the perfect solution. Speaking of whom, I was a bit surprised that Kit's ultra-strict parents from "The First Kiss" are now looking favourably on their academic high-flyer daughter's romantic relationship with a lowly video store clerk.
Also, now that Tully moves back to his hometown - does he visit his old haunts? Re-connect with friends from school? Nope, he does not seem to know a soul in town. Is there a mystery here?

One thing I found a bit irritating was Kit's constantly throwing hints at the reader of "having met/woken/been offered a choice by Aonghus" when we did not actually see this scene, as it fell into the 1st book from Tully's pov, who, however, has no remembrance of it. There seems to be a 1.5 book, which might tell this scene. Sadly, it's not available anywhere.

Anyway, this 2nd part left me with a more favourable impression, I'd like to know what comes next.

I loved this next instalment in Kit & Tully's relationship and I can't wait to read more about their future. The supernatural feel and the Celtic folklore are fascinating and really add something extra and new to the YA romance element, making it more than just another romance book. I also love the fact that the side characters are so important and less like side characters. Typical side characters are not very important and sometimes feel like they're there just for the sake of it, but Felice and Spike are almost as important as Kit and Tully and it makes these books seem as if they could easily be described as books about friendship as much as books about romance. Mocha's writing style is great and I whizzed through this book in a day. I'll definitely be picking up more of her books.

I reviewed the first book in December and I’m so glad I got to review the second one as well. The first book left me wanting for more, I couldn’t wait to know what would come next for Kit and Tully so when the second book arrived in less than a month, I was stocked! Safe to say, I absolutely loved it and I’m sure other readers will too. Seeing Kit and Tully’s relationship evolve over time, watching them grow and become two wonderful people made this book pretty perfect. While the first book was from Tully’s pov, this one’s from Kit’s which gave this book a refreshing new take. I loved how everything slowly fell into place for both of them and can’t wait to see the next chapter of their story!

First Valentine by Mocha VonBee is the second book in the Kit and Tully series, which is just as good as the first book. This book develops Kit and Tully's relationship, following them both through the school year from the start of Kit's final year to the celebratory ball. We also watch Tully become a lead member in a new and emerging band within Dublin which is quickly expanding. Side notes include learning more about Kit's and Tully's families including Tully's mother's illness. As well as the various mysteries, primarily with Aonghus.

From the very start, this book has taken a complete 180-degree turn from Tully being the storyteller to now having the pleasure of hearing the story from Kit's perspective. This was not something I expected at all but it was an excellent technique which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was excellent to learn about Kit's feelings for Tully as this was not mentioned in book 1. As in book 1, I also enjoyed the romance unfolding in a time before technology which is a unique selling point for this book for young adults. As always, this series has continued to be gripping, with me enjoying every aspect.

There is nothing I can say I disliked about this book as I was really indulged and felt part of the storyline. Hearing the book from the other's perspective has been a great addition and for book 3 it would be fantastic if the author could include both Tully's and Kit's perspectives. This could be done by following kit for a chapter then following Tully for a chapter and keeping with this pattern. This would then make for an outstanding finale of this three-book series, which in a way I wish will not end as I am enjoying it so much.

Altogether, I rate this book 4 stars as it is a really gripping, interesting book and the romance aspects are heartwarming. It has also been great learning more about the characters involved as they start to share more personal aspects of their lives. This definitely adds to the plot. I would like to thank both NetGalley and Indie Ink for providing me with an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this book in return for an honest book review. I very much look forward to reading the third book of the series.

The second book in this series is told by Kit, and that was an exciting change, but I do miss Tully because he was an entusiastic narrator. The magic in this book felt weirder than in the last one, because I expect it to be more present and at the end it was just talked about by one character. But it was lovely to see Kit's and Tully's life continue and their relationship develop more and more.

3/5 stars! I was on the fence about the first book in this series and wanted to give the second book a chance. I'm not sure that my feelings shifted much. I found Kit to be a little depressing as a narrator. I will say this story did a more cohesive job of making the romcom angle and the magic angle line up better. In the first book, it felt very disjointed. It was a quick read and while it didn't add anything unique to the genre, its an enjoyable read.

I received an advance review copy for free through NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily

I’m invested in Kit and Tully’s story now!

I liked this one so much better than the first one, it was super interesting to read the continuation of their story from Kit’s side. I believed that I enjoy this one more because we can see a deeper understanding of Kit’s feelings and how develop. We can see her grow through the book.

At the beginning, she has a lot of insecurities about her relationship with Tully, but as. they. continue theirs relationship and see the opinions of her family and friends. She stays true to the relationship and trusts that they are good together.

In the other side, it’s hard to see how she completely focus on the well-being and professional future of Tully instead of also fucking focussing on her and her dreams. Specially because her parents don’t agree with what she wants for her future so they give in on other things she wants so they they can still manipulate her. And she just goes with it instead of fighting back and fight for herself just as hard as she fights for Tully.

Overall, it was a great read. I can’t wait for book 3, so we can learn more about their story and see how it develops..

Mocha does it again with a great sequel in the Kit and Tully series. This book continues after the first but for this one we follow Kit and not Tully. Honestly I miss Tully as our narrator, I don't like Kit as much as I do the carefree happy Tully.
It was still a good read though and like I thought the Celtic god and magic was a bit more involved in this book than the last. It was nice to see where that fits into this story more. I can't wait to see where this story and relationship goes. If your looking for a sort, fast moving story with a bit of magic and a lot of music and romance this is a book series for you.
