2.5 stars — Welp, these freebies can often be a toss up, and this time I just ended up on the wrong side of the coin flip. Sometimes you find a new author to love, and sometimes it just doesn’t match. This was the latter. If I hadn’t been desperate to try to achieve my […]
4.5 stars — I’m always wary of prequels. Will they live up? Will they fundamentally change the character? This one was spectacular. We got to see a much different Viv, but the fundamentals are still the same. And not only that, we got to see glimmers of her changing into the Viv we meet in […]
2 stars — First things first, I got lazy and didn’t contact Amazon to force whatever update to whatever latest version I could get (now entitled By Magic Enchanted). So this cover above, this is the version I read, and I truly think it’s a pretty early one. Honestly, I don’t think the blurb on […]
3.5 stars — Well huh. So, I still really enjoyed myself and was sucked into finishing this one, and still had a great time speculating about theories with my hubby while we listened. But the thing is…we got to the end, and I was a bit let down. There were quite a few gaps that […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — ON REREAD: 3.5 stars — Since this was one of my earliest indie Kindle reads, I really wasn’t sure how it was going to be rereading it over a decade later. And while I definitely didn’t get as sucked in or emotionally invested, it actually wasn’t as bad as I […]
3 stars — Well huh. This one was only okay for me. I think there were multiple things that went into it for me, but all in all it gave me a feeling of meh. This was my first listen by Virginia Rose, and while there isn’t anything necessarily wrong with her narration, it definitely […]
4.5 stars — Wow! I’m just getting more and more sucked into the world, and it kept me engrossed the whole time. Yet again, Brett and I had so many wild theories, some early, some late, some I wavered on when Brett stood strong. I loved picking out little clues here and there, and then […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3.5 stars — OK, that was actually pretty entertaining! I had some problems here and there with the science and concept, but if I just let go of that crap, it was easy to get sucked into the story. With the prologue at the beginning, I was able to easily guess what the […]
4 stars — This was a solid novella to fill in the gaps between books 1 and 2. I read it in order, but I’m writing this review after having finished book 2 as well, and I really think that it adds to the series as a whole, so I definitely recommend checking it out. […]
4 stars — My hubby and I decided to listen to this one on a long road trip, and man did we have so much fun guessing along the way… taking turns pressing pause to point things out and posit theories. We actually figured out quite a few! Some earlier, some closer to reveal. Not […]
