I gave this enemies to lovers romantasy a 4.1/5 stars. I loved Nikolai’s scenes & the world building was done pretty well. Keera’s gradual character growth was done expertly and I appreciate the reality of it. But I won’t be reading the rest of the series later when they come out because of the slowContinue reading “Review #279”

Review #275
Master of Salt & Bones is a dark/modern gothic contemporary standalone romance. I gave this a generous 4.0/5 stars. Sometimes it felt more like a psychological thriller/almost erotica. At times I couldn’t determine what was real and what was a hallucination which felt part of the point. I thought Isa had a boring personality andContinue reading “Review #275”

The Secrets in Shadow and Blood
So The Secrets in Shadow and Blood is the NEXT installment in the Fae Guardians book. So I guess it wasn’t the best place to start. Each book features a separate couple so apparently I should’ve started with Season of The Wolf. Because of this I already have a feeling it’ll be a DNF forContinue reading “The Secrets in Shadow and Blood”

I gave this historical fiction a 3.9/5 stars. When I hit the second section. I was expecting the interview format to change. It didn’t. A few pages is fine, but a whole book like this is jarring and staccato. “I had no interest in being somebody else’s muse. I am not a muse. I amContinue reading “Review #246”

This book has a bit for everyone. here are my thoughts and notes I wrote while reading: Right away we learn about Cherry losing her mom at the age of 22, feeling a bit lost in the worldContinue reading “Review #245”

I gave The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary a 3.0/5 stars. This contemporary romance story was a bit flat and dry for me. It was also slow but I do recommend it for romance readers to give it a try. Here are my uncensored thoughts while reading: In chapter 1 we learn of the unfortunate circumstancesContinue reading “Review #244”

I gave Rainbow Rowell’s novel a 3.5/5 This romcom switched POV between first person in the emails to third person for Lincoln’s story Attachments started off with a bang of a witty exchange between Jennifer and Beth, seemingly best friends who know each other well enough to joke about inappropriate topics. Chapter 2 was aContinue reading “Review #243”
