Review #354

Beastly Secrets by Laura Burton and Jessie Cal is the type of book to read in one sitting. It’s quick, easy, sweet- a feel good, fast paced retelling. I’d give this a 3.97/5 stars lol. Usually I don’t go to the 2nd decibel but I couldn’t quite go to 4.0 on this one. Here’s myContinue reading “Review #354”

Review #353

I gave this a young adult fantasy a 4.5/5 stars. Here my thoughts while reading: I love the map of Endla, from Spring Ceremony to Harding’s Cottage to the hideout. The prologue about the wolf didn’t make much sense to me so I wasn’t sure what to expect when the story started. Right away weContinue reading “Review #353”

Review #349

I rated this steampunk historical fantasy a 3.5/5 stars. I’m willing to try more of this genre but needed one at a faster pace. Here’s my live comments while reading: Lucy is our main character and she’s on the way to visit her cousin who is newly married into the infamous Blackwell family. Their manorContinue reading “Review #349”

Review #348

Queen of Thieves earned a 4.6/5 stars for the historical fiction category. Written with two female protagonist points of view in London -1946- Alice Diamond is a thief among her gang of only women.  (First person, present tense, Alice’s voice really shines through in the first few pages.  Then, 19 year old Nell is newlyContinue reading “Review #348”

DNF- Booked on a Feeling

This was a DNF but I’ll try again in a few years and see if clicks better. Has anyone read this contemporary romance? What did you think? Here’s a couple notes I took live while reading: Lizzy has a panic attack during her opening statement at her first trial. But best friend, Jack, sweeps in toContinue reading “DNF- Booked on a Feeling”

Review #346

I gave this one a 4.1/5 stars. The visual world building of this book and whole trilogy was absolutely superb. I had so many feelings of outrage in the third book which means even if there were parts I didn’t like, the fact that it created so much emotion out of me is a plus.Continue reading “Review #346”

The Sea Witch

I rated this one a 3/5 but Katee Robert is so popular that everyone who is a fan and craves her books gives her a 5/5! (First person present tense, dual POV) Once upon a time, I met a man who stole my heart. In my desperation to reunite with him, I have nowhere toContinue reading “The Sea Witch”

Review #340

My first February book complete! I loved loved this book. 4.9/5 stars. The author was so clever with how she included the elements of Snow White’s love for animals and the mirror theme. I wish I had thought of it first. I cant wait for “A Dream So Wicked” for the Sleeping Beauty story. Here’sContinue reading “Review #340”

Review #339

‘Heart of the Raven Prince’ by Tessonja Odette is the third book I’ve read in a row in the Entangled series. This one is a 4.6/5 stars. It’s a Cinderella retelling and so far it’s the only one that has had two points of view, Ember AND Franco. (Unless I’m remembering completely inaccurately.) Music isContinue reading “Review #339”

DNF Mermaid Moon

I haven’t seen blue edged pages in a very long time. It fits well with the ocean theme. The cover image feels a bit older fashioned but when I looked, the copyright is 2020. The prologue is headed with a quote: “The moon lowers herself to draw the tide.” And then the short chapters skipContinue reading “DNF Mermaid Moon”
