Reviews of my Reading List
DNF- Ninth House
I think Hell Bent is the next one. I didn’t read either because they’re in third person narrative and I prefer first person. But I’ve only heard good things about these & this author. Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised...
DNF- The Last Daughter
The Silent Son is the sequel I believe The only reason why I didn’t finish this is because it’s in third person narrative and I’m only in the mood for first person recently. By the way the cover made me think YA, but it’s adult. Check out the blurb: She's cursed with...
October wrap up
I had my highest amounts of DNF books in October. Some of them are shown on my blog for why since you may love them. I’ve also been busy for the release of The Wicked Blue so only 6 books are listed below. They’re all great and listed from lowest rating to highest...
The Witch Hunter
Review #408 So I went back and forth between a 4.4 and and 4.8 rating because it really was awesome but had a few missed opportunities. I definitely wanted to learn more about John. So I’m settling on an average of 4.6/5 star rating. Here’s my live thoughts while...
DNF- Kingdom of Souls
This has a great premise and reminded me of Children of Blood and Bone. The only reason why I didn’t continue was it felt a bit tooooo much like a coming of age story. I’m too old for that vibe. It’ll be a great series to co-read with my daughter in 2-3 years. I like...
The Shadow Queen
Review #407 Warning, there are spoilers. I believe this is a standalone within a series of other retellings featuring different couples. by CJ Redwine. I had a hard time rating this one (see why below) but will settle on 4.2/5 stars for this YA fast paced fantasy with...
DNF – Georgie, All Along
If I wanted to read a story about someone with financial stress and is having career confusion and complications I wouldn’t need to write a word but just look in the mirror. Furthermore, Georgie’s personality is a complete giver. My best and worst trait. So honestly I...
DNF- Stain
The cover is stunning!!! My only reason for not reading this is that it’s in third person. But a princess who is unable to speak is right up my alley because I’m a speech therapist. After Lyra—a princess incapable of speech or sound—is cast out of her kingdom of...
DNF- Bewitched
I stopped at page 116ish or chapter 14. The cover confuses me a little. I’m unsure what I’m looking at? Selene Bowers loses parts of her memory when she cats spells and has been for the last 3 years. But she’s still determined to join Henbane Coven which feels like a...
DNF The Unmarked Witch
So I didn’t finish this one but definitely recommend to give it a try. There’s a sequel called The Unbound Witch and The Unblessed Witch came out a week ago. The first two sentences has 9 pronounce which was a confusing opener. Then the next one has 5 pronouns. It...
The Scarlet Alchemist
Review #406 Overall I rated The Scarlet Alchemist a 4.6/5 stars! If I had the sequel in my hands right now, I’d be starting immediately. This world sucked me in. Sometimes I wasn't a huge fan of the hero but that’s probably because he’s different than all the other...
My Roommate Is A Vampire
Review #405 This novel review is different because I actually have a book club to go to in 3 days to discuss this book. I’m excited since I haven’t been to a book club for a long long time. I rated this romcom a 4.8/5 stars. It’s all in one point of view, though a...
DNF – These Witches Don’t Burn
This premise is intrigue & there’s nothing “wrong” with the book it just felt a bit too young adult for my taste. I love that LGTBQ+ representation in contemporary feels more like the norm now. Check this story out! Here’s the blurb: Hannah's a witch, but not the...
DNF- Modern Divination
I appreciate the representation of “they” pronouns that didn’t need explained and was the norm. The wordiness of the prose didn’t flow well for me. I needed to continually go back to reread what I read for it to make sense. For example, this sentence is 50+ words...
A Dream So Wicked
Review #404 4.7/5 for this retelling. I know you, I danced with you once upon a dream. Briony Rose, AKA Rosaline Briar, has been raised in secret at a convent. She turns 20 and just choose a life of sisterhood or a governess. Until her parents have found her and...
