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 stars — OK, that was pretty fun. Marlene was so playful, it was hard not to love her. But what’s great is that we got to see deeper than just that playful seductive side. She had her own set of fears and worries, they were just different from many of the other girls. I […]
4 stars — I’m probably not one of those ones that was looking for an Ariana book…I mean, sure, I was curious, but I don’t think I even remembered her mate’s name most of the time! And yet I really enjoyed this installment. It was interesting because it starts in the “present”, but then flashes […]
3 stars — I was NOT a fan of Brooke. I was bummed that we finally got Taushen’s story, and he ended up with Brooke. Which is not to say that she’s horrible, but she had a lot of horrible human moments in this book, and it wasn’t the love story I wanted for Taushen. In […]

5 stars — This book blew me away in all the best ways. It was adorable. It was thought provoking. It was emotional. It was everything I love about YA, with the added bonus of expanding my horizons in multiple ways through double diversity. I honestly don’t even know what to say, except that Liz was […]
(Amazon Affiliate links used in this post) Welcome to the first of six buddy reads that Stephanie (Once Upon a Chapter), Lillian (Mom With a Reading Problem) and I will be sharing over the SUMMER OF LOVE! Three (including today’s) will be individual reviews shared on each of our sites, while 3 will be co-reviews shared […]
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 […]
4 stars — Well, that was entirely unexpected!! I actually started off listening to the audiobook for this one, and while I was really enjoying Ms. Nankani’s narration, all of the online chatting made for a tedious listening experience (because she had to read off EVERYTHING). And confusing on occasion. So I switched to the […]
3.5 stars — This one had a pretty strong start, but lost some steam at the end for me… And I can’t even use this for any diversity stuff, because I don’t even know what ethnicity Summer actually is — I just know from a passing comment (and descriptions of her features) that she’s Asian. […]
