Review #352

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”

Review #334

I’m rating this dark fantasy sequel a 4/5 stars. Read my comments below for my live thoughts while reading.

It slowly came back to meContinue reading “Review #334”

But what I’m confused about isContinue reading “Review #310”

I recommend this to readers who like detailed prose about setting, distributing and traumatic reads & slower development. Here’s my live thoughts while reading: Chapter 1 startsContinue reading “Review #288”

I had a really hard time rating this. If you see my Instagram post, it talked about some parts feeling like a 2/5 stars and other parts feeling like a 4.7/5 stars. I settled on a frustrating 4.0/5 stars. this standalone witchy book was set in 4 different years/time periods with one POV throughout. SomeContinue reading “Review #268”
