4.5 stars — This was just everything I was looking for and more. It did start off a wee bit slow for me, but once I got sucked in I honestly had a hard time putting it down. I don’t read a lot of urban fantasy, but I can definitely see reading a lot more […]
4 stars — I loved the first half of this book, it just hit all of my reading buttons, you know? There’s something about a damaged man and a strange friendship that develops without seeing one another that just…it’s a guilty pleasure. I will admit that it got a bit slow for a bit, but […]
3.5 stars — I think if I hadn’t been reading this for my Diversity challenge, I might have just DNF’d. And that doesn’t mean the book was bad, just that I think it wasn’t for me. It took me almost a whole month to read this one, I just didn’t reach for it. The narrators […]
4.5 stars — I told Brett that this one was an amalgamation of some of my favourite tropes: secret identity, secret baby, celebrity…even a bit of second chance. And it fulfilled everything I love about those tropes and more. Basically, Lenore was a happy reader…well, listener. Jonas was NOTHING like I was expecting for a […]
4.5 stars — Dudes!! This one surprised me in the BEST ways! I was sucked in from the beginning, and it was just so different and fun for a retelling! As usual I forgot to finish this review, so it’ll be a bit choppy… First things first, the narrator was fantastic! Ms. Fortgang’s voices were […]
3.5 stars — I’m not a huge Twilight fan, though I enjoyed the stories and the movies (to some degree). They’re very much a guilty pleasure, and for all their faults I am entertained by the series. I will admit though, that when I got the audiobook from the library and saw that it was […]
4.5 stars — Wow, it’s so hard to decide, but I think this was my favourite of the 3 so far! Still absolutely adored Mary Jane Wells as the narrator. She’s so consistent with her voices, with distinguishing between thoughts and dialogue, and she NAILS both the humour and the emotion of our characters. Penny was […]
4.5 stars — This felt like a true coming of age YA novel…just one that brings more diversity and representation. And while I learned a LOT about being trans, and about all the different flavours of queer out there, if you break it down it’s also just about Felix figuring out who he is, coming into […]
4 stars — This book is totally outside of what I normally read, so I think I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I definitely enjoyed Graham Halstead as the voice of Jamie — his narration was solid, and I’ve enjoyed him in the past. His pacing was great, his voices were solid, […]
3.5 stars — I both listened and read this book. This was another one of those books that while I couldn’t find fault with the narrator (and in fact I’ve enjoyed Ms. Guest in other audiobooks), I just had a harder time getting sucked in when listening. But when I would switch to reading, it […]
