Review #419 I gave this first in a fantasy duology a 4.7/5 stars. “I would rather light the flame, knowing it’ll go out, than sit forever in darkness.” This book makes me afraid to write one of my pending ideas, “Ravensoul” that would have very similar vibes to this because I wont’t be able toContinue reading “Wintersong”

DNF- Faking Under the Mistletoe
I LOVED the cover but didn’t finish. I probably would’ve liked certain parts of this if I had read further but I only made it to page 35. some vibes felt like The Hating Game since it was an official e romance. But the main character, Olivia, wasn’t for me. I don’t mesh well withContinue reading “DNF- Faking Under the Mistletoe”
Girl In Ice
Review #418 4.3/5 stars for this standalone written in first person. I bought this from a used bookstore so support your local shops! Spoilers ahead… here are my thoughts: I was worried right from the beginning when the heroine has anxiety because I don’t like reading characters with this struggle since it’s too similar toContinue reading “Girl In Ice”
Girl in the Blue Coat
Review #415 I gave this historical fiction a 4.5/5 stars. Monica Hesse writes one point of view, first person, which feels rare for this genre. The last 60 pages were a whirlwind after a slower beginning but a solid read overall. Lots of spoilers below!!! Hanneke works for the black market to help support herContinue reading “Girl in the Blue Coat”
Pumpkin Spice and not so Nice
Review #412 I gave this clean, quick romance a 3.8/5 stars. Here’s my live thoughts and comments while reading: Chapter one has a lot of voice, which I like. I feel like I already understand Jenna. It’d be nice to have some contemporary romances that don’t have weddings as part of the plot though. TheContinue reading “Pumpkin Spice and not so Nice”
Talk Bookish to Me
Review #411 3.9/5 for Talk Bookish to Me, a second chance romance by Kate Bromley Many spoilers to follow. These are my random comments while reading: The first chapter is great. Kara and Ryan dated in college 10 years ago and run into each other at their friends’ wedding. Shout out to North Carolina! ItContinue reading “Talk Bookish to Me”
Iron Flame
Review #410 LOTS OF SPOILERS “He’s the horizon, and nothing exists beyond for me.” I give this sequel a 4.5/5 stars. The scenes where Vi & Xaden are together are my favorite chapters by far. The story was unnecessarily long but the ending was brilliant. I did something new and joined an online book blurbContinue reading “Iron Flame”
Fourth Wing
Review #409 Lots of spoilers: 4.7/5 stars. Great story, great relationships and sexual tension. I liked the first half better because of the challenges involved in the college. When she earned her dragon, things got more complicated and webbed, but the pace slowed. She made lots of choices & had agency but soooo much ofContinue reading “Fourth Wing”
The Witch Hunter
Review #408 So I went back and forth between a 4.4 and and 4.8 rating because it really was awesome but had a few missed opportunities. I definitely wanted to learn more about John. So I’m settling on an average of 4.6/5 star rating. Here’s my live thoughts while reading: I’m in love with theContinue reading “The Witch Hunter”
The Scarlet Alchemist
Review #406 Overall I rated The Scarlet Alchemist a 4.6/5 stars! If I had the sequel in my hands right now, I’d be starting immediately. This world sucked me in. Sometimes I wasn’t a huge fan of the hero but that’s probably because he’s different than all the other stereotypical heroes written these days inContinue reading “The Scarlet Alchemist”
