Lost Girls by Merrie Destefano

Lost Girls by Merrie Destefano

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 […]

Hiding Lies by Julie Cross

Hiding Lies by Julie Cross

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 […]

Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf

Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf

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 […]

Flashed by Zoey Castile

Flashed by Zoey Castile

4 stars — I loved the first half of this book, it just hit all of my reading buttons, you know?  There’s something about a damaged man and a strange friendship that develops without seeing one another that just…it’s a guilty pleasure.  I will admit that it got a bit slow for a bit, but […]

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

4.5 stars — In so many ways this was a typical romance — I could see the conflict coming from a mile away.  But in other ways it was something altogether new and different — the challenges that each of our characters faced, their quirks, were wholly unique.  And in the end, both aspects played […]

Dirty Tactics by Emma Salah

Dirty Tactics by Emma Salah

3.5 stars — This book was up and down for me.  There were elements that worked very very well, and there were elements that just didn’t for me.  Basically, it was the ultimate mixed bag. The prologue sucked me in immediately and I felt a lot for both Reagan and Zac.  The problem is that […]

Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

4 stars — Yet another book that I was wary of when I started…just wasn’t immediately sucked in, you know?  Kept wondering where it was going to go.  But somewhere along the way I did get sucked in, and I desperately wanted to know details of the mystery.  I think this is probably a 3.75 […]

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

4.5 stars — This one reminded me a LOT of Bridget Jones’s Diary in tone and snappy dialogue…I mean, the movies at least, it’s been so long since I read the book, I don’t remember what the writing was like.  I was actually a little…put off? (or lost I think) by the fast pace of […]

Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson

Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson

3 stars — I was so excited for this book.  1) Guy knitters??  Yes please!  My hubby is a sexy male knitter, so I’m all over that.  2) Look at that cover!  3) #ownvoices book with main characters of colour??  WOOP! But…well…I kinda had to push myself to finish this book, and if it hadn’t […]

Arctic Bite by N.J. Walters

Arctic Bite by N.J. Walters

3.5 stars — This book was definitely entertaining, but it was missing just…something to make it a true hit for me.  I’m still having problems concentrating, so maybe I *gasp* need to take a break from reading.  *sigh* Honestly?  I actually really loved Alexei.  I don’t know if he’ll be many people’s favourites, but he […]
