The Shadow Bride
Review #600 The Shadow Bride by Shelby Mahurin finishes this duology. I liked the first better and rated this one a 4.0/5 stars. Vampire books bother me for two main reasons -immortality -too much blood description But I love their dark vibes in general So...
Scythe & Sparrow
Review #599 I’m still unsure if I know the definition of a scythe after finishing lol This is the third standalone in a series of stabby & unhinged main characters. Sometimes it felt like the overlap of the characters from her other books felt a little forced, but...
DNF- A Game of Malice and Greed
So I honestly got overwhelmed about starting another series without having access to all of them since I like binge reading series. The interior artwork is gorgeous. But the font was REALLY small. I also have a hard time connecting to books that have more than two...
The Scarlet Veil
Review #598 I feel like a different title could’ve been better. I rated the first half of this series a 4.8/5 stars!!! Beware it ends on a huge cliffhanger after 625 pages. When I first picked up this book, I didn’t know this duology was in the same world as Serpent...
Hemlock
Review #597 Overall I rated this standalone audio a 4.25/5 stars. It was a mix between romance and suspense. My friend recommended this one because the characters are in their 30s. But there are two timelines so the other chapters are at age 22. It starts out with a...
DNF- Puck & Prejudice
This was a bookclub pick but I have a hard time with third person narrative so I honestly didn’t get far and therefore can’t leave a proper review. The cover is adorable and the premise is awesome. Question tho- why is hockey romance such a big thing? I don’t get it...
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...
