4.5 stars — I came for the latina heroine (for my diversity challenge), I stayed for the awesome narrators, relatively accurate coding references, amazing female software developer, and patient hero. First, the narrators: Both narrators are new to me, and I enjoyed them both. I LOVED Ms. Zimmerman in particular, she added so much emotion […]
3 stars — I was actually *really* looking forward to this book (despite the fact that I am 2 years late in my review). But…something just didn’t quite work for me in this one, so Mark’s book remains my favourite. (and please note that I don’t think you can read it without reading the first […]
3 stars — There were a lot of intriguing elements in this story, but in the end I was just confused…and like, everything from vaguely confused to seriously confused. And that just took me out of the story, and didn’t make me want to continue in the series. I actually almost DNF’d at 74%, but […]
3 stars — This one started out strong and fun, and then I just lost interest after awhile. It wasn’t bad, it just didn’t capture me. I might get *slightly* spoilerish in this review, though nothing a whole bunch of other reviewers haven’t also said. Part of the problem is that Madison can be kind […]
This story started out awesome. It was fast paced and Vinna was a bad mama from gate. The first fighting scene was pretty cool since she was just fighting some folks then when they started to win, she switched sides to even it out. LOL, sounds like something I would do. She meets some dudes […]
Favorite Quote: I know what it’s like to talk about something like it’s normal, because it is normal to you, and yet you know the wrongness of it, feel the ache of it, in a way that can never be undone. Vinna evolves a bit in this story, she becomes more forgiving. But I still […]
This book was a bit weird. I was digging it for a bit then it got too weird for me and I just finished it because I was close to the end. I didn’t want to DNF it at 90% ya know? I skimmed the rest. It started out a bit fast and I wasn’t […]
4 stars — I’m loving this world that Ms. Haag has created, it’s so intriguing, and I definitely want to be reading more in it! This final installment for Megan’s story was still a lot of fun, but again…was marred by Megan keeping things from Oanen, making him worry, not allowing people to help her. At […]
4.5 stars — Dudes, I kept avoiding reading this book and missed release day because I just knew I wasn’t in the right mode for it. Ms. Scott writes very real books, and I have to be in a certain frame of mind to really appreciate that. And honestly? I still wasn’t quite in the […]
Favorite quote: Everyone has a war to fight. Most battles rage in the lonely dark. A lesson to remember. I loved this story. I love these authors so liking the story isn’t that far of a stretch. The world building was well written and didn’t overshadow the story. Sometimes that happens. The characters had depth […]
