Reviews of my Reading List
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...
DNF- Playing For Keeps
I really liked the opening chapter and Justin’s character but then the second chapter ruined it a bit. I’ve only read one hockey romance so far and would try more but since it’s obviously going to be a steamy book, why did the author skip over their first time? The...
DNF- The Star and the Strange Moon
I own both of Constance Sayers other books but this one felt like it had a different vibe. I didn’t get past chapter 3 so the inciting event hadn’t occurred yet when the film swallowed Gemma up. That premise is awesome but I wasn’t into the Hollywood vibe or recording...
Heidi’s Guide to Four Letter Words
Review #506 4.25/5 stars This was an adorably steamy audiobook about a kindergarten teacher who starts an erotica podcast to break out of her shell and find confidence in her voice was sweet and I appreciated her journey. I wanted her neighbor (already forgot the lead...
Lore of the Wilds
Review #505 I love the title & cover. I picked this for a bookclub and now that I’m finished I’m not sure how to rate it. 3.9/5 out of frustration or 4.3/5 as a whole…? I guess I’ll settle in the middle with 4.1/5 stars This is a fantasy with bits of romance. I...
