Reviews of my Reading List
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...
DNF- The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
I didn’t finish The Very Secret Society or Irregular Witches even though I was very excited about the bookish hero, Jamie. Overall, the writing felt more like telling the story to me and not showing. Plus, recently I’ve just been in the mood for first person...
DNF- The Witches of Moonshyne Manor
I’m very grateful and appreciative of the index in the front that describes each of the witches in the sisterhood. I’m worried from the get go when the first sentence is 42 words (yes I counted) and feels unnecessarily wordy. I’m also not a big fan of explanations...
The American Roommate Experiment
Review #400 I rate this standalone contemporary romance (with two points of view) a 4.8/5 stars. I loved the Spanish influence and phrases incorporated. And I also am obsessed with characters that are authors!!! In chapter 1, Rosie sounds borderline stalkerish so I’m...
DNF – Witch Please
The only reason why I didn’t make it far is because it’s in third person narrative. this series has two others called: Boss Witch and Extra Witchy. It seems like this first one is insta love for the guy, Titus (great name) and forbidden romance trope for Danica. It...
DNF- The Only Purple House in Town
Iris Collins is the messy one in her family. The "chaos bunny." Her sisters are all wildly successful, while she can't balance her budget for a single month. It's no wonder she's in debt to her roommates. When she unexpectedly inherits a house from her great aunt, her...
DNF- Witches Steeped in Gold
“Witches Steeped in Gold” by Ciannon Smart has caught my eye so many times because of the stunning cover but after reading the blurb I’m hesitant because the main characters’ motivation as revenge has never been the biggest intrigue for me in terms of plot … but here...
A Wilderness of Stars
Review #399 I rated this YA sci fi/dystopian a 3.0/5 stars. It may have been better if I DNF when I had doubts. Unfortunately I dont have to make positive remarks so please skip this one if that turns you off a lot. After Vega’s mother gave up fighting a long illness,...
