DNF- Nero
This audiobook was a fast burn/traumatized virgin trope with obsessed mafia stalker guy and it wasn’t my thing. Are there are darker contemporary romances out there that are slow burn?
Hello Stranger
Review #596 My friend gifted me this one and I’m in love. Because of its uniqueness and how much I loved the heroine and her artsy ways, I give this a 4.9/5 stars. Joe could’ve been a bit more dynamic which is why it lost the .1 Yes, the plot twist was predictable but...
DNF- The Quit List
I tried this on audio and didn’t like either of the narrator voices. the female character also seemed annoying in personality. I was intrigued about their meet cute potential but didn’t make it that far so I can’t really write a review.
Recipe for Rivals
Review #595 3.75/5 on audio Not my favorite I’m glad the characters had depth and some family drama and weren’t 18 but full fledge adults. Leia the cat was superb & obviously I love a hot fireman But this book was a bit boring, dragged too much & had too many...
The Wife Upstairs
Review #594 The Wife Upstairs slipped by my notice since there’s another title by the same name but written by a different author in the same genre. I had soooo many theories in the beginning so I can’t say I guessed correctly lol. The diary was a great...
May 2025 wrap up
I finished 11 books this month, 3 physical & 8 audio. You can see a trend changing in my reading habits? I’ve been busy with my upcoming rapid release of my witchy romcom series starting 6/6 so I haven’t gotten much writing done recently. Here’s the books of May...
I Want You Gone
Review #593 I binged this audio in 48 hours and enjoyed painting while listening. I gave it a 3.9/5 stars. There was one narrator which held consistency. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a huge fan of most of the characters. The main heroine acted like a “victim” too far into...
The Anatomy of Us
Review #592 This is one of the first audiobooks I’ve rated low and don’t feel guilty about it. Because it’s not that it was bad in any way. I just didn’t personally like it. I didn’t like the characters or their choices. I didn’t like the theme of depression and lies....
Fearless
Review #591 I had a strange love/hate relationship with this YA fantasy romance trilogy. It took me 28 days to read all 3 which is crazy long for me. The writing is definitely angsty and reminded me of the Shatter Me series author. I’ll give this third book a 4.4/5...
DNF- A Soul to Heal
I loved plus sized representation, authors note about Australian dialect and the very specific trigger warning pages. Unfortunately I can’t get into third person narrative easily anymore. And this one was also confusing because it jumped to first person narrative for...
Better Luck Next Time
Review #590 This audiobook is unique because its dialogue only. With an entire soundtrack it feels like listening to a movie, especially with such animated voice actors and background noises. I gave it a 4.5/5 stars. Sometimes the constant intense bickering felt...

Secret Sister
Review #589 This thriller audio had many points of views/narrators. The background noises were quite random and actually startled me at times when a random door would slam or a phone would ring. Anyways I rate this a solid 4.25/5 stars. It was addictive so I binged it...
DNF- The Villa
I tried listening on audio but it was too confusing because there seemed to be three storylines or timelines. There was also a bunch of info dunk and telling so I got bored.
Love, Rebooted
Review #588 I gave this audio romcom a 4.1/5 stars. I’d recommend reading if you like rivals in work romance & 2nd chance trope. It was easy to listen to and I enjoyed their accents. I think they could’ve come up with a better title. But it’s fine. In the...
