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 […]
4.5 stars — Dudes, I kept avoiding reading this book and missed release day because I just knew I wasn’t in the right mode for it. Ms. Scott writes very real books, and I have to be in a certain frame of mind to really appreciate that. And honestly? I still wasn’t quite in the […]
4.5 stars — I don’t even know where to start. I’m not really a fantasy reader, but there is something about the way Amy Harmon writes her stories that has me immediately grabbing for any fantasy novel she writes. Her worlds are so vivid and unique. And the emotions! OMG the emotions. I just finished […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — I will admit I was a bit concerned when our MCs jumped right into bed, and what followed were a lot of very descriptive and hot sex scenes, with only sprinklings of emotions (mostly leftover from their previous encounter). I guess I was expecting a steamy romance, and really got more an […]
3.5 stars — Well….this book left me with very dichotomous feelings. There were aspects of the book that were soaring 5 stars…and there were aspects of the book that just *didn’t* work for me. In the end I’ll round up because the good parts really impacted me, but it wasn’t a slam dunk hit by […]
ON REREAD: 3 stars — You know, I didn’t want to reread this book…or rather, I was afraid to reread it. It was like some part of me knew that I was a different person, and so I wouldn’t read the book the same way. And that little part of me was right on the […]
4 stars — Well this review is going to be a bitch to write. Like seriously. I’m going to have to start with super vague feelings, and then put anything else in a huge SPOILER box. This book went in so many different directions, most of which I wasn’t expecting! I expected dual POV, but […]
4.5 stars — I haven’t read a lot of F/F (or really many of the other flavours of LGBT besides G), and I’ve been wanting to expand my diversity reading. So I was so excited when I saw the blurb for this one and it sounded so good! You could tell it was own voices because […]
2 stars — So I was trying to find a mystery type book for one of my reading challenges, and this is one of the oldest NetGalley books I haven’t read…from when I first joined NetGalley and requested all sorts of things. Unfortunately this book was just…not engaging. I just had all sorts of problems […]
