Reviews of my Reading List
The Housemaid
Review #515 This is the first book I’ve read by Freida McFadden and rate it a 4.6/5 stars. I’d try other books by her too. This is the fastest I’ve read a book in quite some time. Within 24 hours I finished this page turner. The prose were average but the short, easy...
Out on a Limb
Review #514 I’ll give Out on a Limb a 4.0/5 stars. All in one point of view of the heroine, Wyn, it shows her one night stand turning into a pregnancy- then more. This audiobook was sweet, tender, and all about the connection between the couple. There were barely any...
DNF- How to Become the Dark Lord & Die Trying
This book has so much excellent voice voice VOICE! But I didn’t get very far for the following reasons: Footnotes are very distracting for me and almost every page has them I’m not a huge fan of immortal characters/plots There was almost too much swearing where it...
DNF Immortal Longings
I couldn’t finish Immortal Longings. Usually when I DNF I stop at page 50 but for this one I made it to 150 which is rare that I try for that long. Here’s my notes while reading: The body jumping world building isnt explained clearly in the beginning to...
Morbidly Yours
Review #513 I gave Morbidly Yours, a modern romance a 4.25/5 stars. I don’t consider every contemporary book with cartoon characters on the cover a romcom since this didn’t have too much comedic relief. Ivy Fairbanks does a stellar job with the themes of death...
The Timeless Trials
Review #512 I loved this book and gave a 4.8/5 stars. It’s a mix between The Hunger Games and that movie ‘In Time’ with Justin Timberlake. The prose were breathtaking. The action reminded me of trials like Fourth Wing & the cliffhanger about killed me. The author,...
Accidentally Amy
Review #511 Accidentally Amy got a 3.9/5 stars. It was a cute romcom in the workforce, predictable and easy. Biggest complaint: you really don’t need to talk about how big his chest is 100x. It was also strange that they call each other by their last name during segzy...
DNF- Where the Dark Stands Still
This YA book has an amazing premise and I couldn’t wait to read it. However, as usual, I didn’t check beforehand to see if it was third or first person narrative. I struggle with third person so I didn’t finish this one. Liska has always believed that magic is a curse...
Witch of Wild Things
Review #510 I give this contemporary witchy romance a 4.0/5 stars. Told all in Sage’s point of view, we follow her journey when she moves back home after years away and reunites relationships with her family and past high school crush. Positives: Short chapters Plant...
DNF- The Devil Makes Three
I absolutely love books about books. But it’s really hard for me to read third person narrative. I didn’t finish this one. When Tess and Eliot uncover an ancient book hidden in a secret tunnel beneath their school library, they unwittingly release a devil imprisoned...
Leather & Lark
Review #509 I give this dark contemporary fantasy a 4.25/5 stars. It was less gruesome and murdery compared to the first book and much more relationship focused. Sometimes I had trouble with Lochlean’s internal thoughts since he was so damned poetic. It had two points...
Witches get Stitches
Review #508 I give this witchy romcom a 4.8/5 stars. I loved both Violet & Nico’s characters and the tattoos involved in the story. Their friendship and sisterhood group seemed solid which was refreshing. It’s told in first person narrative, 2 PoV which is my...
Heavy Dirty Soul
Review #507 I’d give this unique book a 3.8/5 stars. Here is the blurb: A love that transcends Death. A curse that defies Time. Bold, independent Ivy is a witch. In a time of rampant hysteria against witchcraft, Ivy is an easy target.After she wins the heart of...
DNF- Wild and Wicked Things
I didn’t finish this witchy/Great Gatsby retelling so can’t give a full review. Here’s my comments while reading (spoilers) Anna travels to a magical island because her father’s last wish was for her to spend time sitting his belongings there after his death. A...
DNF- Legends & Lattes
I didn’t finish this because it was third person narrative instead of first person. The humor seemed great and I loved the premise but couldn’t connect with the writing. In a world where battle and bloodshed define her past, Viv, a weary orc warrior, decides to...
