4 stars — I definitely enjoyed this story, but I think my hopes were higher for it…which happens sometimes you know? I enjoyed both of our characters. They were flawed, and made epic mistakes at times, but deep down they were both really good genuine people. You wanted to root for them, both as individuals, […]
4.5 stars — Oh look, another strange disjointed thoughts review…you’re welcome. Very atmospheric. I could imagine the world and the people and the mythology. Loved the whole existence of Gods, but not really present as much anymore. I enjoyed the narrator — found it was one of those rare books that I enjoyed reading and […]
4.5 stars — Wow. Best bromance in the history of bromances. This book had so many surprises. And it’s going to be so hard to review because I don’t want to give ANYTHING away…and yet, so much of what I loved is spoilery. There was LOTS of science. Like, LOTS of science. And a good chunk […]
4.5 stars — Well shit…I think maybe I do like historical romance. At least when it’s in the right hands. And look at that, I’ve added another author to my list. Seriously though, I really really really enjoyed this! Minnie was a delightful heroine — so complex. She was bright, could be feisty, down to […]
4 stars — You know what sucks about coming into a wildly popular series years later? You hear things…you see people talking about things. And so you end up with expectations, or hints to plots or characters or whatever. So what’s the result? The result is that I couldn’t just let myself go while reading […]
4.5 stars — This was delightful, and what I’ve come to expect from Ms. Dare — quirky sassy characters in unconventional romances. This was my first time listening to Ms. Rose as a narrator, and she was not bad. I found it wasn’t always as easy to tell apart her voices, they weren’t always consistent […]
4.5 stars — OK, can I start off by saying that that cover is kind of misleading, and gave me a totally different impression of the book I was going to read? It kind of reminded me of an earlier Alienist cover, and so I was anticipating being freaked out…and I started getting myself in […]
4 stars — OMG emotionally draining. This book had an ending that was both perfect and slightly unsatisfying…but maybe just for me. It left me feeling very conflicted, b/c the ending fit the story, but I kept wanting something else…but I would have been disappointed if I’d gotten that something else. The narration was fucking […]
4.5 stars — That…was not at all what I was expecting. In an even better sense. I was genuinely expecting a “beach read”, something fairly light and fluffy. And while this book had light and fluffy moments, with banter that truly delighted me beyond belief, there was a HUGE emotional aspect that left me with […]
4.5 stars — Dudes, I can’t handle mysteries…and yet I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I mean, I kept taking breaks along the way, b/c I’m so fucking impatient and I just want answers….but then I’d start it up again and be sucked in! So for something outside my wheelhouse, this was a total success. The […]
