Tourist Season

Review #622 I rate this one 4.9/5 stars. I’ve already read 3 by this author. As unhinged as they are, I really do enjoy them. My husband tried one and wasn’t a huge fan though. This one ends in a semi-cliffhanger which I hadn’t expected so we will see if the next one...

Review #621 Don’t have much to say other than Lana may be one of my new favorite authors. I’ve devoured all the books I’ve read of hers without complaint. Her characters are well rounded and likeable but unique. The banter is adorable. The writing flows fluidly and...

Review #620 I gave this audio a 4.0/5. The narrators were stellar & I love both their voices. Many tropes about this one weren’t my favorite like one night stand and pregnancy but I still enjoyed it because Penny’s character was unique and adorable. She was...

DNF- The Book Proposal

I think I’m in a slump. Which often happens when I’m in drafting phase of a novel. So I’m not surprised. Her teenage letters to her crush were creepy. Yet also… relatable. Their emails back and forth to each other felt quite flat and boring. Unfortunately I stopped...

DNF- Metal Slinger

So I’m going to sound petty but the interior formatting was distracting for me since the font felt strange and hurt my eyes and there were odd spacing gaps between sentences. Honestly, since the chapter started out in dialogue I felt lost and unsure what was...

DNF- Silver Elite

DNF- Silver Elite

There wasn’t anything wrong with the story or prose or characters. I didn’t get very far mainly because I’m not a huge dystopian reader and it gave a lot of Divergent vibes from the very beginning. The first chapter makes it clear that it’s not young adult since she...

DNF- Off to the Races

The characters weren’t likeable and both sounded spoiled and entitled. The female audiobook narrators voice was annoying The guys character was way too much of a creep. It wasn’t written in a way that came off as sexy or attractive but just male horniness and...

Review #619 Oh my goodness, what a ride. That was an intense book. The sequel “Whisper of Wings” doesn’t come out for 7 months so I’m infuriated about that. Where to start. This monster slaying Romantasy has enemies to lovers, spies, secret identities, mythical...

Review #618 I gave this fantasy romance a 4.25/5 stars. After Part 1, I think this will be my least favorite of the three. It’s in Blythe’s PoV only, nothing of Signa, the murder investigations that were consistent in the first two doesn’t exist and it’s basically a...

Very cute cover Great premise. A videographer interviewer needs to shack up with hottie hero from the coast guard who once rescued a dog and went viral. However I was struggling with the female main character’s body image issues. the extreme diet and negative talk was...

DNF- Pick Up

This audiobook immediately stressed me about with the “not good enough” mom vibes. It wasn’t working for me and even though the rest (from the blurb) may have been about non-Mom duties on a tropical island, I didn’t make it that far to find out. Also, in the very...

Review #615 This audiobook was a pleasant read that didn’t rub me the wrong way at all. It will get lost in my mind among the others in the genre since it didn’t stand out in a unique way, but I enjoyed my time with the story. I really enjoyed that Declan had his own...

Review #614 I gave this (audio) a 4.5/5 star. It was done by one narrator for all the character voices. So I actually read this physical copy a year or two ago. But at that time the other two weren’t published yet. So after purchasing those, I restarted/reread it....
