Once Upon a Crime
Review #587 I listened to this audio because it was free and had a cute cover. In the beginning I almost stopped it because of the plausibility of a bunch of details didn’t feel realistic but I stuck with it. Overall I gave this standalone romcom a solid 4.5/5 stars....

Reckless
Review #586 So I went back and forth with how infuriated I was with the characters for loving or hating this book but I’m pretty sure I’m ending on a positive note with 4.7/5 stars. Yes the characters were miserably annoying at times but … ugh. I’ve never annotated a...
The Best Wrong Move
review #585 I picked this because it was a free option on Audible and rated it a 4.0/5 stars. It had two points of view but one narrator. I wasn’t thrilled with how the narrator did the intonation of the guy’s personality and vibe. This romcom by Lily Parker only had...

The Final Wife
Review #584 This audio thriller kept me intrigued the whole time to learn who dunnit. I’ll give it a 4.25/5 stars. The culture/high class society they live in was obnoxious and so many cheating liars was ridiculous but I enjoyed it the whole time. I’m so glad it had a...
Powerless
Review #583 “He’s looking at me like one would a painting- drinking in every detail, delighting in its originality, deeming it a work of art.” Powerless gets a strong 4.4/5 stars. I would’ve given it higher if Hunger Games didn’t exist prior. It has two...
DNF- My Pigeon Familiar
It’s my fault I tried this on audio because whenever world building is involved within fantasy I can’t retain anything when it’s auditory processing. I can usually only listen to romance or thrillers. In saying that, there was also a LOT of telling instead of...
April wrap up
Each book has separate reviews on my blog if you want to check out my ramblings. These are shown in reverse order with my favorite last. 3.9/5 3.9 4.0 4.3 4.2 4.5 4.8 One of my books for May will be Powerless by Lauren Roberts. What books did you read in April? What...
Great Big Beautiful Life
Review #582 Great Big Beautiful Life was much different than I expected. This should’ve been marketed as a women’s lit or literary fiction with a different type of cover. It was unlike her other books and not a typical romcom style. I listened to it on audio and...
DNF- Prey No More
I didn’t finish Prey No More mainly because: 1. It’s in third person narrative & y'all know I have trouble with that 2. There were too many characters introduced too quickly. I was a bit overwhelmed of what to keep track of. However,...
Children of Anguish & Anarchy
Review #581 This is the third installment of the series. Unfortunately, I didn’t finish Children of Anguish and Anarchy. I made it to about page 80 which was about 25%. The best part- the chapters were pretty quick and short which makes it an easier read and that...
Of Magic & Rum
Review #580 Of Magic and Rum by Carly Spade snatched my attention from the title. I think this is the first book I’ve read by this author. It has two points of view going back and forth between Anne/Rhode and Jack. She’s a sea nymph keeping secrets who boards...
Shameless
Review #579 This audio was short and not-sweet lol. I rated this erotica a 4.0/5 stars With two narrators, I absolutely loved the males voice. She was sub & liked the degrading aspects which isn’t really my cup of tea but the author hit the nail hard that this...
Crash Landing
Review #578 This is a local author’s debut and a local bookclub read! Yay! I absolutely love the cover and title name! FYI to those who like steamy reads- this is closed door. I gave it a 3.9/5 stars. I think I would’ve liked it better if he had a point of view too....
