Reviews of my Reading List
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...
Bring Me Your Midnight
Review #403 5/5 perfection for “Bring Me Your Midnight” by Rachel Griffin. Im obsessed with all her books so far and am officially her biggest fan. I want to be on her ARCs if possible and will give my soul to be added to that list. Someone, make it happen. An...
DNF- War Girls
I believe the second one is called Rebel Sisters which I didn’t get to either because I didn’t finish War Girls. The premise is great. I’m just not in the mood for third person narrative right now. Two sisters are torn apart by war and must fight their way back to...
DNF- The Darkest Star
There was nothing wrong with this book, just too YA for me. When the heroine is talking about disappointing her mom and wearing lipstick on the first page, it’s too young for me… A girl pulled into in a world she doesn't understand finds herself confronted by...
DNF- Playing the Witch Card
The only reason I didn’t finish is because it’s written in 3rd person and my brain is apparently on a first person narrative only recently. Here’s the blurb: Flair Hardwicke knows three things: magic is real, love isn’t, and relying on either ends in disaster. So...
The Witch of Willow Hall
Review #402 I gave this historical fantasy a 4.5/5 stars. It felt like a dark Pride and Prejudice with paranormal bits thrown in and a large mix of family drama. I have a personal pet peeve for books that start with “It was…” unfortunately it’s not something I’ll...
DNF- Darling
Wow what a beautiful cover! I didn’t finish Darling by K. Ancrum only because I’m in the mood for first person narrative and this is in third person It’s a fast paced , urban modern retake on Peter Pan. The writing felt a little bit on-the-nose but the story goes...
DNF- Cackle
I didn’t finish Cackle by Rachel Harrison because she was so depressed and down on life that it didn’t distract me from my own worries and weight in life. Annie moves to a new town because she’s currently living with her ex, who isn’t in love with her, but she still...
A Curse of Shadows and Ice
Review #401 I rated this adult fantasy romance B&B retelling a 3.4/5 stars. It seemed like a erotica and then the past 80 pages turned to politics. The pacing felt a bit off but I always love a classic beauty and the beast variation. But, why is “ice” in the title...
