3.5 stars — Well shit, picky Lenore strikes again. I wonder if it didn’t help that I had such high expectations for this book, since everyone I know really loved it and was wowed by it, but it just fell short for me unfortunately. Which is not to say it was a bad book, it […]
4.5 stars — Okay, I will admit that I remember feeling pretty satisfied until the twist at the very end of Defiance, and thinking that Fenn and Peree didn’t need another book. But after reading The Gatherer short story (highly recommend before reading this one), and having just finished the story, I will admit that […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — I don’t know why (though I’m sure if I really thought about it I could figure it out), but I truly LOVE books where one of the characters feels they have some physical flaw that makes them not fit for society or something…that’s not exactly what I mean, but you […]
3 stars — This one started out a bit stronger and I was pretty excited, because I had been looking forward to Norman’s story. But so many of the issues I had with the writing in the first book by Ms. Whynot were still very much present in this novel as well, and I think I […]
3.5 stars — I will admit, I’m a little bummed that I didn’t enjoy this one more…or at least as much as the first book in this series. The problem is that I found it pretty predictable, which is a shame. I totally saw how things would play out with the conflict and was just […]
3.5 stars — I definitely laughed out loud, and even groaned on more than one occasion. Josh does a pretty good job of narrating the book himself, which makes sense since he’s a motivational speaker…it would likely give him a leg up. Pun unintended, but still funny. I definitely enjoyed his earlier stories, and it totally […]
4 stars — This one was slow for me to get into, but once I did it delivered right to the end It took a bit to warm up to Alex. I’m sensitive, so he came across mean at first. I do know people who have that personality, and I will admit I’m taken aback […]
4.5 stars — Characters are my bread and butter, and Charli and Neil are some of the best there is. Obviously both very complicated, but at their very core, absolute rock star people. Behind all of Charli’s bluster and anger, there’s a very damaged young woman. She is definitely the product of her upbringing, and it […]
4 stars — This was a rollercoaster ride of a book, mostly with my emotions. There were parts that I absolutely ADORED beyond measure. And there were parts that strained my sense of empathy. I was happy in the end, but definitely emotionally exhausted. Quinn and Graham were an exercise in patience in the Now […]
4 stars — I definitely enjoyed this story, but I think my hopes were higher for it…which happens sometimes you know? I enjoyed both of our characters. They were flawed, and made epic mistakes at times, but deep down they were both really good genuine people. You wanted to root for them, both as individuals, […]
