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 […]

4.5 stars — This one surprised me with how much I loved it. Both narrators were new for me, but I enjoyed them both. They had great pacing, great emotions, and pretty good distinct voices. Mr. Griffith nailed Ethan’s kindness and occasional innocence. Ms. McKenna NAILED Naomi’s dryness, and the balance between her hard edges […]
3 stars — After reading Sherwood, I was super excited to read another retelling by Ms. Spooner. And as a fan of Beauty and the Beast, I kind of figured this would be a sure thing. But I wonder if being a fan kind of ended up as a hindrance instead, you know? Because I […]
4.5 stars — Wow, that took me through all of the emotions. I had all these desires for the first half of the book, and then things started shifting and I started shifting with it…and feeling conflicted. And so confused. Needless to say because of all that, this is going to be a vague and […]
4.5 stars — This was delightful, and what I’ve come to expect from Ms. Dare — quirky sassy characters in unconventional romances. This was my first time listening to Ms. Rose as a narrator, and she was not bad. I found it wasn’t always as easy to tell apart her voices, they weren’t always consistent […]
5 stars — This book delighted me from start to finish. Like, I can’t even tell you how much, it was just perfection for me. I always knew I was going to be fascinated by Pandora, but there was even more to her than I had been expecting. It’s strange how learning about one physical […]
4.5 stars — OK, can I start off by saying that that cover is kind of misleading, and gave me a totally different impression of the book I was going to read? It kind of reminded me of an earlier Alienist cover, and so I was anticipating being freaked out…and I started getting myself in […]
4 stars — OMG emotionally draining. This book had an ending that was both perfect and slightly unsatisfying…but maybe just for me. It left me feeling very conflicted, b/c the ending fit the story, but I kept wanting something else…but I would have been disappointed if I’d gotten that something else. The narration was fucking […]
