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...
DNF- The Devouring Gray
The coloring of the cover online is much brighter than the printed cover on the hardcover jacket. I absolutely loved the interior artwork n the chapter headers. The premise was extremely interesting but I didn’t finish this one. I need to start looking at the kindle...
DNF- Dreadful
All the reviews talk about how hilarious the comedy is in this book so I’m sad to miss out but it’s really hard for me to read third person narrative so I had to stop reading. I didn’t get far so I can’t leave a proper review Waking up in the chaotic remnants of a...
DNF- How to End a Love Story
Unfortunately I didn’t finish this one. it was. Book club selection. I usually read romcoms in first person narrative only and this one is third person. My random notes while starting: That was a surprising first chapter for someone like me who doesn’t read blurbs. So...
The Starter Ex
Review #504 I listened to this on audio and absolutely loved the male narrator’s voice. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard him read something else too. But speaking of narrator I am participating in a group discussion about this topic… should the narrator represent the main...
Witcha Gonna Do
Review #503 I’d give this witchy romcom a solid 4.5/5 stars. Tilda has such a great voice! I could learn a lot from this author. Overall this book was very enjoyable, fast, cute & fun. It didn’t dive deep enough into any character but sometimes that’s okay....
