4.5 stars — My Mom and I started this book months ago on a road trip and just finally got to finishing it, and we laughed and laughed and laughed! As always, the narrators were fucking fantastic. They really bring the characters to life, and I adore the way they portrayed Sam and Ian. Ms. Christian […]
3.5 stars — Well…. I enjoyed myself, but not as much as I was expecting to. First, the presence of dual narrators confused me as the book went on with only Charlie’s POV. So just FYI, we only get Duke’s POV in the epilogue. Despite that, I really enjoyed Ms. Hart’s narration in this one. […]
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 — 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 […]
4 stars — I was a bit worried about this one, b/c the premise is not usually something I can tolerate. I’m not big on lying/deceiving, and I worried this scenario would feel like cheating. But honestly? It wasn’t too bad. Lucy and Dante had only been on, like, 2 dates, so it wasn’t like […]
4.5 stars — OK, yet again, I am not a fantasy or historical type reader. They kind of intimidate me. And I’m actually not generally that well versed on mythology of any kind. But I’ve enjoyed this author in the past, and an author friend of mine raved about this book, so I had to […]
3.5 stars — A weird blend of kind of hokey and hard to suspend my disbelief, mixed with compelling and engaging. There were times where the pacing fell a little bit, and the book got wrapped up in repetitiveness. The thing is that some of that repetitiveness was about Mya pining for her family and […]
3 stars — Oh dear. Where to start. There were glimmers of interesting things going on, but not really enough to suck me in and make up for what *wasn’t* working for me. We’ll start with the narrator. Ms. Reinders was solidly in the okay category. She didn’t grate on my nerves, there was some […]
5 stars — I honestly don’t know what it was about this one that just totally captured my imagination. I was just sucked in by Fiona from the first page. Which is funny, b/c I can’t say I connected with her as much in any of the other KITC series books, but in this one […]
DNF @ chapter 10 (2 hours in): This one just wasn’t for me, for a few different reasons. It was seriously overly sweet in my opinion, or at least up until this point…like toothache sweet. There wasn’t a lot of conflict, which apparently I need something to keep me tuning in. And it wasn’t just […]
