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....
The Worst Guy
Review #577 I’ll give this a 4.5/5 stars. This book taught me that I don’t think I like fast burns as much as slow. My favorite part was I loved all the unique team building ideas and his unique and funny nicknames for her. As doctors, it had a Grey’s Anatomy vibe....
The Off-Limits Rule
Review- #576 I gave this easy audio a 4.3/5 stars. I wasn’t a huge fan of the male narrators voice which impacts my enjoyment slightly. Also, Lucy was quite annoying with having zero self confidence and constantly comparing herself to others. We’re all self conscious,...
DNF- Sun Damage
This was a bookclub pick. It may have worked better for audio but there were three main reasons why it didn’t work for me - it switched back and forth between second person and first person narrative -it has hints that the male main character had abused the main...
The Love of My Afterlife
Review #575 First of all I don’t know if it’s spelled- The Love of My After Life or The Love of my Afterlife since it’s shown both ways on the cover. This romcom by Kirsty Greenwood was a library book I borrowed and it got a 4.0/5 stars. It felt a bit cheesy,...
Under Loch and Key
Review #574 This was a bookclub choice and I listened on audio. I’m soooo glad that not only were there 2 narrators but the female did all female dialogue within the male’s point of view and vice versa. I gave this fun romcom with a magical twist a strong 4.8/5 stars....
Nocticadia
Review #573 3.5/5 stars Not my favorite book but it kept me engaged. I’m glad there was dual narration in the audiobook. It was borderline too-gross. Bugs infesting their organs as the premise? No thanks. Plus, I don’t need info about body entrails...
March wrap up
My most favorite this month was Heartless Hunter, AKA Crimson Moth, but the sequel wasn’t as good. My least favorite was Nocticadia because it had attempted rape on page. A Song to Drown Rivers was my most unexpected this month. Bonus tidbit- Somewhere Beyond the Sea...
DNF- Rhapsodic
I’m still personally struggling about whether I like dark romance or not, what types I’m okay with and what pushes my boundaries too far. Part of me wants to like it more than I do, I think. But I don’t want to force myself to be into it. Maybe it’s because I have a...
DNF- Priest
Didn’t get far. Too “churchy” for me. Lol. Go figure. There are many rules a priest can't break. A priest cannot marry. A priest cannot abandon his flock. A priest cannot forsake his God. I've always been good at following rules. Until she came. Then I learned new...
Somewhere Beyond the Sea
Review #572 “I am color. I am fire. I am the sun, and I will burn away the shadows until only light remains. And then you will have no choice but to see me.” Somewhere Beyond the Sea is truly witty. I absolutely loved the humor & am so glad I found an...
You, With a View
Review #571 You, With a View is 4.5/5 stars on audio. (One narrator). There was a bunch of telling instead of showing so in the beginning I had a harder time staying engaged and focused on the story but after I got invested it wasn’t a problem anymore. They...
