Reviews of my Reading List
DNF- Silver Elite
There wasn’t anything wrong with the story or prose or characters. I didn’t get very far mainly because I’m not a huge dystopian reader and it gave a lot of Divergent vibes from the very beginning. The first chapter makes it clear that it’s not young adult since she...
DNF- Don’t Let Him In
I was bored and a lot of the PoV seemed disjointed. Unfortunately I canceled my membership to audiobooks.com after this book due to striking out too many times.
DNF- Off to the Races
The characters weren’t likeable and both sounded spoiled and entitled. The female audiobook narrators voice was annoying The guys character was way too much of a creep. It wasn’t written in a way that came off as sexy or attractive but just male horniness and...
Shield of Sparrows
Review #619 Oh my goodness, what a ride. That was an intense book. The sequel “Whisper of Wings” doesn’t come out for 7 months so I’m infuriated about that. Where to start. This monster slaying Romantasy has enemies to lovers, spies, secret identities, mythical...
Wisteria
Review #618 I gave this fantasy romance a 4.25/5 stars. After Part 1, I think this will be my least favorite of the three. It’s in Blythe’s PoV only, nothing of Signa, the murder investigations that were consistent in the first two doesn’t exist and it’s basically a...
DNF- The Love Haters
Very cute cover Great premise. A videographer interviewer needs to shack up with hottie hero from the coast guard who once rescued a dog and went viral. However I was struggling with the female main character’s body image issues. the extreme diet and negative talk was...
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...
