3.5 stars — This book has recently been rereleased as an Indie read, but I read an old NetGalley ARC copy from Riptide Publishing…I doubt there were any major changes, but figured I’d mention which version I was specifically reviewing. I find Ms. Cousins writes very differently from most authors I read. I don’t know […]
5 stars — I actually got the link to this in LAST year’s Christmas newsletter, but I never got to it. So when Ms. Daria mentioned it again this year, I knew I needed to dive in! And it was just perfect. I think short story/novellas are SO HARD to write because it’s hard to […]
4.5 stars — Wow. This was a lot more emotional of a novella than I was expecting. Which is really silly, b/c it’s Kennedy Ryan…I should have known. I haven’t read anything in this series yet, and while we’re not introduced to any of those characters, I am intrigued by the world now. The thing […]
3.5 stars — This one left me with muddled thoughts and feelings, so rating it is a bit hard for me. I’m finding it hard to articulate how I feel, but I’m going to try…this is just your warning. Basically, I enjoyed myself, but I also wasn’t blown away. I think I expected the mental […]
4.5 stars — OMG, I LOVED THIS BOOK!! I was sucked in right from the beginning, and it just had so much of what I love in a Christmas novella! First, I LOVED our characters! Jessie made me want to smack her a few times, because she was so hard-headed and took forever to see […]
4.5 stars — So this was one of those books that I think I subconsciously kept pushing to the back of the pile because I loved the first book so much, I was worried that a sequel just wouldn’t live up to it. And while nothing can top Cinder & Ella, this book had me […]
This is going to be a review of the narration only. You can see my review of the book itself here. Nothing has changed, I love it just as much as I always do. 4 stars for narration — Overall I thought Kirsten Leigh did a great job! She lent a lot of emotion to […]
3 stars — Hmmm… OK. So this book frustrated me. There were parts that really sucked me in and kept me enthralled. But there were also parts that made me feel uncomfortable. And we’re going to start with those and get them out of the way. Now, I might just be super sensitive, I’m not […]
4 stars — OK, this book surprised me in a lot of ways!! And mostly good, so woop woop! I wondered if perhaps it was because I hadn’t reread the blurb before diving in, but nope — there was a lot that wasn’t hinted at! Ash was so unexpected. First of all, I wasn’t expecting […]
4.5 stars — That’s it. I think I’m just going to listen to Mariana Zapata’s books from now on, particularly if they’re narrated by Callie Dalton. Dudes, that chick knows how to give good narration. Like she takes a book that I would have enjoyed reading on my own, and turns it into a favourite. […]
