Reviews of my Reading List
DNF- Pick Up
This audiobook immediately stressed me about with the “not good enough” mom vibes. It wasn’t working for me and even though the rest (from the blurb) may have been about non-Mom duties on a tropical island, I didn’t make it that far to find out. Also, in the very...
DNF- The Wrong Witch to Hex With
Loved the cover but I was simply bored unfortunately. Unfortunately, it’s because I have a hard time connecting with third person narrative.
Maid for Each Other
Review #615 This audiobook was a pleasant read that didn’t rub me the wrong way at all. It will get lost in my mind among the others in the genre since it didn’t stand out in a unique way, but I enjoyed my time with the story. I really enjoyed that Declan had his own...
Belladonna
Review #614 I gave this (audio) a 4.5/5 star. It was done by one narrator for all the character voices. So I actually read this physical copy a year or two ago. But at that time the other two weren’t published yet. So after purchasing those, I restarted/reread it....
DNF- Seraphina
Loved the cover and even though I own the duology in paperback, I started it on audio. Unfortunately I was quite bored after an hour & 45 minutes which was only 13% of the total (and only in chapter 4). If you like dragon human shifters who play music, check this...
The Match
4.0/5 for this easy, quick audiobook Who can’t love a story featuring two service dogs? Single hot dad? Check Strong, assertive MFC? Check Disability representation? Check Two narrators for both male & female? Check I didn’t take many notes since this was a long...
The Queen’s Resistance
Review #612 I finally finished this sequel! It took me a while to get through because it’s a bit slow. I think I also took a break since I started drafting my next novel. I’m not quite sure if I liked the first or this sequel better. Without remembering what I rated...
DNF- One Good Reason
It started off great with a James Bond vibe-heroine who needs to hack into a computer. But when she’s caught by a guy and he’s like “I’ll keep your secret if I get what I want…” then kisses her without permission … I was turned off. Just because he’s hot doesn’t make...
The Best Worst Mistake
Review #611 Since these reviews are mostly for my benefit, I’m going to change my format. Here’s a few things I want myself to remember: Third times the charm Past foster care trauma Rival lawyers Dax would do anything for Abby. Standalone in a series NY vs LA Plant...
The Queen’s Rising
Review #610 I would’ve given this a different title. I also didn’t like the cover but bought them because I like everything else this Rebecca Ross writes. Upon finishing this book, it could’ve been a standalone. I’m not dying to know anything since it feels complete,...
DNF- The Waitress
Unfortunately I got 50% through this but had to stop due to frustrating repetition. I also wasn’t a huge fan that two of the three points of view switched to third person. Another thriller with an abusive male causing conflict felt redundant, tho representative of...
Say You’ll Remember Me
Review #609 I’ve loved all of Abby’s books but this one is my least fave so far. It’s not light or breezy or an enjoyable beach read. It’s serious, heart wrenching, heavy, difficult and realistic. Definitely not a romcom vibe. Because of that, I’m unsure how to rate...
DNF- Quicksilver
600 pages is a lot for me and I didn’t give it enough time to post a real review. I also really like to binge series and the sequel doesn’t come out for a while. In the beginning there was too much heavy world building and telling right off the bat. In the first few...
The Darkness Within Us
Review #608 I truly Enjoyed The Darkness Within Us and rated it a 4.6/5 stars. I didn’t know it was a side story after The Shadows Between Us, which I’ve previously read (and gave a 4.4/5 stars). I didn’t keep my hardcover of the first, probably because it had a...
Till There Was You
Review #607 Till There Was You is a fun and fast beach read that I rate 4.1/5 stars. I’m not a foodie so the plot about Lexie being a chef and describing ingredients doesn’t do anything for me. But Jake being a singer is keeping my interest. The prose flow...
