Here's my 10 Completed Series. I'm honestly in the middle of about 16 other series and impatiently waiting for the next one to be published. I prefer binge reading the whole series once they're all available. These are ranked in order from #10 down to my favorite. The...

Review #352
I gave this a 4.2 overall but I’m angry. Read the whole review for why and hopefully there’s no spoilers. But there’s no guarantee. The strengths were the banter between the two characters. The weaknesses were it felt like there were some gray areas overall, holes not...
The Beast- DNF
The Beast by Katee Robert starts as if I should already know Isabelle’s story. Maybe her sister was a protagonist in a different book in the Wicked Villains series? I’m missing out on bits of info since both Gaeton and Beast were her exes. So I’m unsure how far she...

This is the 4th Alix E. Harrow book I’ve read and I love how unique the voice is in the Fractured novella series. The author fit so much into this story and I gave it a 5/5 stars Zinnia’s character arc is beautiful and crystal clear. It made me immediately want to...
Review #350
The Prison Healer was a unique young adult fantasy read but I probably won’t finish the trilogy. I’d rate it a 3.6/5 stars. Have you read it? Do you agree or disagree? Here’s my thoughts live while reading: Kiva is a young (17?) year old healer in a prison...
Review #349
I rated this steampunk historical fantasy a 3.5/5 stars. I’m willing to try more of this genre but needed one at a faster pace. Here’s my live comments while reading: Lucy is our main character and she’s on the way to visit her cousin who is newly married into the...

Review #348
Queen of Thieves earned a 4.6/5 stars for the historical fiction category. Written with two female protagonist points of view in London -1946- Alice Diamond is a thief among her gang of only women. (First person, present tense, Alice’s voice really shines...
DNF- Booked on a Feeling
This was a DNF but I’ll try again in a few years and see if clicks better. Has anyone read this contemporary romance? What did you think? Here’s a couple notes I took live while reading: Lizzy has a panic attack during her opening statement at her first trial....
Review #347
I gave this a generous 4.0/5 stars. I wanted more emotion and power to their feelings. Written in first person, past tense, I’m so glad I checked “Cruel Beauty” out from the library because it has the same vibe I’m hoping for in my beauty and the beast retelling....
Review #346
I gave this one a 4.1/5 stars. The visual world building of this book and whole trilogy was absolutely superb. I had so many feelings of outrage in the third book which means even if there were parts I didn’t like, the fact that it created so much emotion out of me is...
Review #345
I gave this YA fantasy sequel a 4.5/5 stars. It felt unfinished. Yes there’s a 3rd book, but the goal and arc for this sequel is sliding into the third and didn’t have a separate resolution in this second book of the series. Here’s my live thoughts while...
Review #344
4.95 stars out of 5!!! I almost gave this YA fantasy a perfect score. Here’s my thoughts while reading: So Scarlett is our heroine (third person past tense) and has been writing letters to the Caraval master to visit their town for years. Weeks before her wedding to a...
DNF – Crossings
The preface was one of the most unique openings of a book I've ever read. And then the note to the reader gave two ways to read this book, from page 1-end as typical or in a specific sequence shown by codes and page numbers at the end of certain sections. Apparently...
