DNF- The Invisible Library
Here's the blurb in case you're interested: One thing any Librarian will tell you: the truth is much stranger than fiction... Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, a shadowy organization that collects important works of fiction from all of...
Review #340
My first February book complete! I loved loved this book. 4.9/5 stars. The author was so clever with how she included the elements of Snow White's love for animals and the mirror theme. I wish I had thought of it first. I cant wait for "A Dream So Wicked" for the...
January wrap-up
I finished 8 books this month to start out 2023. (About half are in a series.) But I’ve also been busy with the last details of publishing my Linked Trilogy (paperbacks and hardcovers now available) and editing my next work in progress. Here’s my rating system....
Review #339
‘Heart of the Raven Prince’ by Tessonja Odette is the third book I’ve read in a row in the Entangled series. This one is a 4.6/5 stars. It’s a Cinderella retelling and so far it’s the only one that has had two points of view, Ember AND Franco. (Unless I’m remembering...
DNF Mermaid Moon
I haven't seen blue edged pages in a very long time. It fits well with the ocean theme. The cover image feels a bit older fashioned but when I looked, the copyright is 2020. The prologue is headed with a quote: "The moon lowers herself to draw the tide." And then the...
DNF Fierce Like a Firestorm
"Fierce like a Firestorm" happens to be the third sequel I'm reading in a row. And I have one more after this. I completely prefer binge reading a series in a row which is why my upcoming trilogy is rapid release in three consecutive days. "Wicked Like a Wildfire" was...
Review #338
This Beauty and the Beast retelling earned a 4.8/5 stars for me. It was written all in first person from Gemma’s point of view. I’m so excited to read at least two more books in this interconnected fairytale series. These are my thoughts (live) while reading: Gemma...

“Kiss of the Selkie” by Tessonja Odette earned a 4.9/5 stars for me. It reminded me of “Serpent and Dove” by Shelby Mahurin crossed with “The Selection” by Kiera Cass. The .1 point I took off was once in a while it felt too much like The Bachelor show. But otherwise...

My Top Reads in 2022
These were my favorite books of each month in 2022. This doesn't mean they were my absolute favorite because one month may have had four five-star reads. Anyways, here's the list. As always, their individual reviews are on my blog. January The Hating Game by Salle...
DNF Deep Blue
I love how the interior has colored design. The prologue was a tiny confusing with the poem like chanting and all the different words in another language. I think someone is named Vraja. And there's a draga. And an Iele. I'm unsure which either were. The sea witches...
Review #336
5/5 stars!!! I rarely love a book this much. AND it was a sequel, which is unheard of for me. All the hideously perfect dark prose made me super giddy. Read “The Keeper of Night” first. Here’s my live thoughts while reading: This sequel already starts with beautiful...
Review #335
I gave Alexa Martin’s contemporary romance called “Better Than Fiction” a 4.2/5 stars. Check out more info below. Here’s my live thoughts while reading: So the main character is pretty pessimistic at the beginning. It too a while to determine her gender and after...

Review #334
I’m rating this dark fantasy sequel a 4/5 stars. Read my comments below for my live thoughts while reading. It starts in Isolde’s perspective and honestly, I was a little lost at first because I’ve read so many similar novels that I couldn’t recall which plot this one...
