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 […]
4 stars — I started off listening to this one, but the audio just wasn’t capturing me and holding my attention as much, so I switched to reading and it was much smoother. I will admit it took me a bit to really connect with Holland. It’s funny, it’s like as a character she was […]
4.5 stars — Honestly? The whole story went in a few directions I was NOT expecting. I can’t explain, but the plot laid out differently than I was expecting in so many ways. Sometimes that meant there were lulls in action…but in those lulls we got to learn more: either about the world, the magic, or […]
4.5 stars — I did NOT anticipate where this story was going to go! I was surprised right from the start. I will admit that I was a bit bummed that Zera spent the ENTIRE story letting her hunger get her to believe in her own worthlessness. It was so hard to see her just […]
OVERALL: 3.5 stars — You know, this was a pretty successful anthology! I find there are always a few gems (in this case it was Britt and the Bike God, Per Aspera Ad Astra, and A Curse, A Kindness), and then a few that just don’t hit. In this one, the ones that didn’t hit […]
3.5 stars — This book had a lot of ups and downs, but it mostly pulled it in in the end. I will admit that I was initially intrigued by the mystery…but then I started not really liking or connecting with Rachel and for a good chunk of the beginning-middle I kinda just wanted to […]
4.5 stars — Oh dude!! This book took me through the ringer. I swear, my poor hubby. I was about to start reading again, and gave a huge anxiety induced sigh and my hubby made the mistake of asking me what’s wrong…and after I finished explaining how I wasn’t sure of this person’s motive, and […]
4.5 stars — You know what? That was totally lived up to my high expectations for a fantasy book from Ms. Wolf. I was honestly worried it wouldn’t, which is why I kept avoiding reading it. But nope, it was chock full of the same fantastic snarkiness that I’ve come to expect…mixed with a fascinating […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — LOVED IT! It was different and refreshing…the characters developed feelings for each along the way instead of insta-love (which I don’t mind, but it’s nice to have a balance). And the paranormal world was well-built and interesting! I especially love that the ending wasn’t a cliffhanger, but a solid ending […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — I must say that this book broke the mold for me for paranormal romance. For one, the romance was really slow and in some ways more realistic b/c it started out with an innate curiosity about the other…something that tugged them together, for reasons they could not explain, and made […]
