4 stars — Interesting look at the Amish. No idea how accurate it is, especially considering that is has been altered at least a bit to accommodate the horror aspects of the story. But it still wasn’t a bad look at the religion necessarily. You got to see the good bits, the community, the simplicity. And […]
4.5 stars — Well this book lived up to the spookiness I was looking for without traumatizing me! Yay! I switched between reading and listening to this one, because while I LOVED Mr. Williams narration, honestly it scared me a bit more listening than reading and I just couldn’t paralyze myself in bed at night. […]
4 stars — This one surprised me a bit with the way things played out, and in particular Charlie’s character. She could be a bit hard to love and understand sometimes, but all the same I mostly did get what made her up. She was damaged in a different way than I was anticipating, and […]
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 stars — I LOVED Jack and Skip. They were both flawed and frustrating at times, but with good hearts that deserved the love of the other. It was interesting that they both had some similarities in their upbringing, but because of other circumstances they cope in slightly different ways. But it helped them understand each […]
4.5 stars — I was just telling my hubby that this book fucking delighted me, and the series does in general, and it’s just so hard to convey why. I think the dark fey are just over the top and ridiculous and yet endearing and adorable. They say some of the most outrageous things, and Tor […]
4 stars — Brooke was super thirsty!! I mean, it’s good that she’s not afraid of her own desires, but holy wow. There were plenty of moments where I was hesitant about Brooke’s actions, especially given Solin’s cryptic responses, and the appearance of the situation with Sophia. But then Brooke would get a conscience, and back […]
4 stars — This one was hard to read. It felt realistic though. It’s just that Hannah was *really* hard to like in this one. But it really showed how alcoholism can alter who a person is, so much so that even they don’t recognize themselves. I really appreciated that Hannah didn’t just turn around […]
4.5 stars — Wow. It’s weird, I took longer to read this book than I expected…I kept coming back for tidbits. But now that I’m done, I’m sad I won’t be in this world with these characters anymore. Hence the bump up by half a star. Looks like I’m going to have to get the […]
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 […]
