DNF- A Soul to Heal
I loved plus sized representation, authors note about Australian dialect and the very specific trigger warning pages. Unfortunately I can’t get into third person narrative easily anymore. And this one was also confusing because it jumped to first person narrative for...
Better Luck Next Time
Review #590 This audiobook is unique because its dialogue only. With an entire soundtrack it feels like listening to a movie, especially with such animated voice actors and background noises. I gave it a 4.5/5 stars. Sometimes the constant intense bickering felt...
Secret Sister
Review #589 This thriller audio had many points of views/narrators. The background noises were quite random and actually startled me at times when a random door would slam or a phone would ring. Anyways I rate this a solid 4.25/5 stars. It was addictive so I binged it...
Love, Rebooted
Review #588 I gave this audio romcom a 4.1/5 stars. I’d recommend reading if you like rivals in work romance & 2nd chance trope. It was easy to listen to and I enjoyed their accents. I think they could’ve come up with a better title. But it’s fine. In the...
Once Upon a Crime
Review #587 I listened to this audio because it was free and had a cute cover. In the beginning I almost stopped it because of the plausibility of a bunch of details didn’t feel realistic but I stuck with it. Overall I gave this standalone romcom a solid 4.5/5 stars....
Reckless
Review #586 So I went back and forth with how infuriated I was with the characters for loving or hating this book but I’m pretty sure I’m ending on a positive note with 4.7/5 stars. Yes the characters were miserably annoying at times but … ugh. I’ve never annotated a...
The Best Wrong Move
review #585 I picked this because it was a free option on Audible and rated it a 4.0/5 stars. It had two points of view but one narrator. I wasn’t thrilled with how the narrator did the intonation of the guy’s personality and vibe. This romcom by Lily Parker only had...
The Final Wife
Review #584 This audio thriller kept me intrigued the whole time to learn who dunnit. I’ll give it a 4.25/5 stars. The culture/high class society they live in was obnoxious and so many cheating liars was ridiculous but I enjoyed it the whole time. I’m so glad it had a...
Powerless
Review #583 “He’s looking at me like one would a painting- drinking in every detail, delighting in its originality, deeming it a work of art.” Powerless gets a strong 4.4/5 stars. I would’ve given it higher if Hunger Games didn’t exist prior. It has two...
DNF- My Pigeon Familiar
It’s my fault I tried this on audio because whenever world building is involved within fantasy I can’t retain anything when it’s auditory processing. I can usually only listen to romance or thrillers. In saying that, there was also a LOT of telling instead of...
Great Big Beautiful Life
Review #582 Great Big Beautiful Life was much different than I expected. This should’ve been marketed as a women’s lit or literary fiction with a different type of cover. It was unlike her other books and not a typical romcom style. I listened to it on audio and...
DNF- Prey No More
I didn’t finish Prey No More mainly because: 1. It’s in third person narrative & y'all know I have trouble with that 2. There were too many characters introduced too quickly. I was a bit overwhelmed of what to keep track of. However,...
Of Magic & Rum
Review #580 Of Magic and Rum by Carly Spade snatched my attention from the title. I think this is the first book I’ve read by this author. It has two points of view going back and forth between Anne/Rhode and Jack. She’s a sea nymph keeping secrets who boards...
Shameless
Review #579 This audio was short and not-sweet lol. I rated this erotica a 4.0/5 stars With two narrators, I absolutely loved the males voice. She was sub & liked the degrading aspects which isn’t really my cup of tea but the author hit the nail hard that this...
Crash Landing
Review #578 This is a local author’s debut and a local bookclub read! Yay! I absolutely love the cover and title name! FYI to those who like steamy reads- this is closed door. I gave it a 3.9/5 stars. I think I would’ve liked it better if he had a point of view too....
