I gave this a 4.2 overall but I’m angry. Read the whole review for why and hopefully there’s no spoilers. But there’s no guarantee. The strengths were the banter between the two characters. The weaknesses were it felt like there were some gray areas overall, holes not filled in and lots of stuff unanswered. ButContinue reading “Review #352”

This is the 4th Alix E. Harrow book I’ve read and I love how unique the voice is in the Fractured novella series. The author fit so much into this story and I gave it a 5/5 stars Zinnia’s character arc is beautiful and crystal clear. It made me immediately want to preorder the obviousContinue reading “Review #351”

The Prison Healer was a unique young adult fantasy read but I probably won’t finish the trilogy. I’d rate it a 3.6/5 stars. Have you read it? Do you agree or disagree? Here’s my thoughts live while reading: Kiva is a young (17?) year old healer in a prison and is looked down upon byContinue reading “Review #350”

I gave this a generous 4.0/5 stars. I wanted more emotion and power to their feelings. Written in first person, past tense, I’m so glad I checked “Cruel Beauty” out from the library because it has the same vibe I’m hoping for in my beauty and the beast retelling. Here’s my live thoughts while reading:Continue reading “Review #347”

I gave this YA fantasy sequel a 4.5/5 stars. It felt unfinished. Yes there’s a 3rd book, but the goal and arc for this sequel is sliding into the third and didn’t have a separate resolution in this second book of the series. Here’s my live thoughts while reading, starting from the beginning: So itContinue reading “Review #345”

4.95 stars out of 5!!! I almost gave this YA fantasy a perfect score. Here’s my thoughts while reading: So Scarlett is our heroine (third person past tense) and has been writing letters to the Caraval master to visit their town for years. Weeks before her wedding to a stranger, she received a magical ticketContinue reading “Review #344”

Loathe to Love you is three short stories that starts with “Under One Roof.” I rated the first one 4.5/5 stars. Stay tuned for info on the others. I don’t think the prologue was necessary since it felt more like a spoiler. Even though we all know what’s going to happen in HEA anyways. TheirContinue reading “Review #341”

This Beauty and the Beast retelling earned a 4.8/5 stars for me. It was written all in first person from Gemma’s point of view. I’m so excited to read at least two more books in this interconnected fairytale series. These are my thoughts (live) while reading: Gemma just recently moved to the winter court, seemsContinue reading “Review #338”

“Kiss of the Selkie” by Tessonja Odette earned a 4.9/5 stars for me. It reminded me of “Serpent and Dove” by Shelby Mahurin crossed with “The Selection” by Kiera Cass. The .1 point I took off was once in a while it felt too much like The Bachelor show. But otherwise this book was perfection.Continue reading “Review #337”

5/5 stars!!! I rarely love a book this much. AND it was a sequel, which is unheard of for me. All the hideously perfect dark prose made me super giddy. Read “The Keeper of Night” first. Here’s my live thoughts while reading: This sequel already starts with beautiful darkness of soul sucking of humans inContinue reading “Review #336”
