Reviews of my Reading List
Next of Kin
Review #489 I gave this audiobook a 4/5 stars. It was pretty “mundane” in terms of plot and what was going on. Nothing out of the ordinary or memorable so it was majorly relationship based. As two adults who had dealt with the foster system , Warren & Chloe are...
DNF- Before I Let Go
This series was a choice for a local book club. Early on this book is hitting a bit too close to home and so I’ll need to read an easy escape at the same time to not feel too stressed. Side complaint- There are a lot of side characters to keep track of. Okay. I...
the Modern Girl’s Guide to Magic
Review #488 Now that I’m finished, the title doesn’t quite fit the storyline. I gave this standalone- modern fantasy romance a 4.3/5 stars. The first half had me very hopeful, especially with the plant themes but the second half didn’t meet my expectations. It’s...
Mad Love
Review #487 I give Mad Love by Wendy Walker a strong 4.5/5 stars. So I’m learning that I can only focus on romcoms or thrillers for audiobooks so far. This one was short but had so many different voices I still had to concentrate pretty intensely to know who was...
Fake Dating a Witch
Review #486 I picked this romcom book up because I loved the cover and it’s a comp to my current work in progress- Of Poison & Pumpkins. I enjoyed the steam but I wasn’t a huge fan of Grant, even at the end unfortunately. The prose weren’t super strong compared to...
The Comeback
Review #485 I’m not going to display this short review on my social media ido media because it’s not great. I listened to The Comeback on audio and thought the narrators voice was super annoying. It was all in one PoV so told in one voice. I did finish the whole 9...
A Tempest of Tea
Review #484 The map in the beginning is beautiful. Unfortunately I didn’t finish a different duology by this author so hopefully this one goes well. I’m reading it for a fantasy romance bookclub in Raleigh that I recently originated. Warning- spoilers below...
The Soulmate
Review #483 I give this thriller/death mystery by Sally Hepworth a 4.3/5 stars. It was a quick, fluid read with great hooks. These are my thoughts and notes while reading. Possible spoilers ahead… As a basic citizen without training, Gabe has rescued 7 people...
Summer Reading
Review #482 I read this one at the beach in July! It’s summer time! I’m rating this lovely romcom a 4.75/5 stars. It was all written in one pov which is rare for romcoms these days. Here’s my random thoughts while reading: I’m so happy that the author did her research...
Review #481 Only and Forever is the last of the Bergman Brother series by Chloe Liese. I read all of them and appreciate their depth, medical diversity, & inclusitivity. I gave this one a 4.5/5 stars. Viggo, the last single Bergman sibling, has been crushing...
The Dream Guy Next Door
Review #480 I don’t take many notes on my audiobooks since I’m driving while listening. I gave this one a sturdy 4/5. I absolutely love the male narrator’s voice and recognized him from a different romcom. This one definitely has a little steam which I appreciate....
DNF- House of Marionne
I didn’t finish this even though it had awesome potential and beautiful imagery and descriptions. It’s the first of a trilogy so check out the whole series. Here’s my random notes while reading. The specialties chart is very helpful in the beginning to show all the...
Murder Your Employer
Review #479 I give this unique book a 4.0/5 stars. My biggest issue was all the head hopping. Here my notes while reading (possible spoilers): So do I like Cliff? He’s kind of bland so far and seems to be the means of telling the story instead of someone...
Maybe This Time
Review #478 I think this is my first audiobook I’ve ever rated a 5/5 stars! I found no flaws in this story and loved every bit of it. For a time travel theme, it was clear and didn’t frustrate me like other confusing time oriented plots. Mikey and June are the perfect...
The Royal Assignment
Review #477 Unfortunately this wasn’t my favorite audiobook. I listened to the whole thing but felt a bit annoyed with both main characters. Their “dates” were too politically based and I didn’t like her choices. He was too stuffy and stereotypically flat without...
