Reviews of my Reading List
Love, Theoretically
Review #626 I think I've read all Ali Hazelwood's books except for Bride and I've loved them all. I also ate this up in the best kind of way. It was easy to listen to, real, had great pacing for Elsie’s needs and had the perfect amount of steam too. I was impressed...
Haunting the Hunter
I listened to this on audio after it was recommended by a friend for a unique reason. She said her favorite audio narrator, Mr. Teddy, spoke to the reader during the sex scenes using, "you." My friend was ALL about this. Honestly, it didn't do much for me, so I...
The Hiking Trip
Review #624 This one is going to be a low 2/5 rating for me, because of r@&* only. The audiobook was going well overall and I had some predictions and I was hooked throughout, then the "climatic" big end scene that's supposed to have all the feels was r@&*....
Love’s a Witch
Review #623 I really enjoyed this audiobook! I'd rate it a 4.0/5 stars. The dual POV narration was fantastic, especially the male narrator's accent—it added so much charm and really brought his character to life. I found myself looking forward to his chapters just to...
Tourist Season
Review #622 I rate this one 4.9/5 stars. I’ve already read 3 by this author. As unhinged as they are, I really do enjoy them. My husband tried one and wasn’t a huge fan though. This one ends in a semi-cliffhanger which I hadn’t expected so we will see if the next one...
Overruled
Review #621 Don’t have much to say other than Lana may be one of my new favorite authors. I’ve devoured all the books I’ve read of hers without complaint. Her characters are well rounded and likeable but unique. The banter is adorable. The writing flows fluidly and...
Those Three Little Words
Review #620 I gave this audio a 4.0/5. The narrators were stellar & I love both their voices. Many tropes about this one weren’t my favorite like one night stand and pregnancy but I still enjoyed it because Penny’s character was unique and adorable. She was...
DNF- The Book Proposal
I think I’m in a slump. Which often happens when I’m in drafting phase of a novel. So I’m not surprised. Her teenage letters to her crush were creepy. Yet also… relatable. Their emails back and forth to each other felt quite flat and boring. Unfortunately I stopped...
DNF- Metal Slinger
So I’m going to sound petty but the interior formatting was distracting for me since the font felt strange and hurt my eyes and there were odd spacing gaps between sentences. Honestly, since the chapter started out in dialogue I felt lost and unsure what was...
DNF- Silver Elite
There wasn’t anything wrong with the story or prose or characters. I didn’t get very far mainly because I’m not a huge dystopian reader and it gave a lot of Divergent vibes from the very beginning. The first chapter makes it clear that it’s not young adult since she...
DNF- Don’t Let Him In
I was bored and a lot of the PoV seemed disjointed. Unfortunately I canceled my membership to audiobooks.com after this book due to striking out too many times.
DNF- Off to the Races
The characters weren’t likeable and both sounded spoiled and entitled. The female audiobook narrators voice was annoying The guys character was way too much of a creep. It wasn’t written in a way that came off as sexy or attractive but just male horniness and...
Shield of Sparrows
Review #619 Oh my goodness, what a ride. That was an intense book. The sequel “Whisper of Wings” doesn’t come out for 7 months so I’m infuriated about that. Where to start. This monster slaying Romantasy has enemies to lovers, spies, secret identities, mythical...
Wisteria
Review #618 I gave this fantasy romance a 4.25/5 stars. After Part 1, I think this will be my least favorite of the three. It’s in Blythe’s PoV only, nothing of Signa, the murder investigations that were consistent in the first two doesn’t exist and it’s basically a...
DNF- The Love Haters
Very cute cover Great premise. A videographer interviewer needs to shack up with hottie hero from the coast guard who once rescued a dog and went viral. However I was struggling with the female main character’s body image issues. the extreme diet and negative talk was...
