Scarlett’s Pledge
The night breeze holds my secrets, even as it brushes against my sister’s ears. She can’t know where we’re headed, so today marks the first time I have lied to her. At least I only needed to convince one of my sisters that we need to find the map.
Ryker’s Promise
The other hunter yells my name from outside the van. “Just go!”
When did he learn my real name?
My van swerves around another tree and a streetlight flickers in the distance. I push down on the gas harder. The entire vehicle bumps and jerks over the uneven forest floor. My ass thumps against the seat and my head hits the ceiling. The Slynik tied up in the back won’t stop screaming through the tape around her mouth.
Ruby’s Vow
My lungs burn, but I’ll never stop running until I find my sister, Scarlett, and bring her home.
“Scarlett!” My other sister, Ruby, yells in the distance.
The hunter’s tire tracks disappear into sloshes of endless puddles. Heart pounding, veins pumping, I pant even harder. My muscles need the refreshing raindrops dripping down from the branches that add to my already soaked hair.
DNF- Seraphina
Loved the cover and even though I own the duology in paperback, I started it on audio. Unfortunately I was quite bored after an hour & 45 minutes which was only 13% of the total (and only in chapter 4). If you like dragon human shifters who play music, check this...
The Match
4.0/5 for this easy, quick audiobook Who can’t love a story featuring two service dogs? Single hot dad? Check Strong, assertive MFC? Check Disability representation? Check Two narrators for both male & female? Check I didn’t take many notes since this was a long...
July wrap up
The Darkness Within Us was my highest rated in July. I read one duology by one of my favorite authors.
The Queen’s Resistance
Review #612 I finally finished this sequel! It took me a while to get through because it’s a bit slow. I think I also took a break since I started drafting my next novel. I’m not quite sure if I liked the first or this sequel better. Without remembering what I rated...
DNF- One Good Reason
It started off great with a James Bond vibe-heroine who needs to hack into a computer. But when she’s caught by a guy and he’s like “I’ll keep your secret if I get what I want…” then kisses her without permission … I was turned off. Just because he’s hot doesn’t make...
The Best Worst Mistake
Review #611 Since these reviews are mostly for my benefit, I’m going to change my format. Here’s a few things I want myself to remember: Third times the charm Past foster care trauma Rival lawyers Dax would do anything for Abby. Standalone in a series NY vs LA Plant...
DNF- Sometimes I Lie
I usually track my DNFs here just for my own organization but don’t have much to say. I wa bored and didn’t get very far.
The Queen’s Rising
Review #610 I would’ve given this a different title. I also didn’t like the cover but bought them because I like everything else this Rebecca Ross writes. Upon finishing this book, it could’ve been a standalone. I’m not dying to know anything since it feels complete,...
DNF- The Waitress
Unfortunately I got 50% through this but had to stop due to frustrating repetition. I also wasn’t a huge fan that two of the three points of view switched to third person. Another thriller with an abusive male causing conflict felt redundant, tho representative of...
Say You’ll Remember Me
Review #609 I’ve loved all of Abby’s books but this one is my least fave so far. It’s not light or breezy or an enjoyable beach read. It’s serious, heart wrenching, heavy, difficult and realistic. Definitely not a romcom vibe. Because of that, I’m unsure how to rate...
DNF- Quicksilver
600 pages is a lot for me and I didn’t give it enough time to post a real review. I also really like to binge series and the sequel doesn’t come out for a while. In the beginning there was too much heavy world building and telling right off the bat. In the first few...
The Darkness Within Us
Review #608 I truly Enjoyed The Darkness Within Us and rated it a 4.6/5 stars. I didn’t know it was a side story after The Shadows Between Us, which I’ve previously read (and gave a 4.4/5 stars). I didn’t keep my hardcover of the first, probably because it had a...
