3.5 stars — So I just went back and reread my reviews for the first two books, and apparently I feel consistently about the books in this series. There is a lot I LOVE, but I tend to have the same complaints. I always end the book not entirely sure how I feel about it…which […]
2.5 stars — Well, that was disappointing on a few levels…bummer. First, this is not really a Christmas book, so if you’re looking for a *Christmas* book, this might not fit the bill for you. Essentially the first chapter happens on Christmas day, and that’s the end of anything Christmas. Second, this is the second […]
3 stars — This one just didn’t come together like I expected. It wasn’t a bad book per se, but it was definitely missing some magic. I’m not sure I really fell in love with either character. Nico and Jade are both so…uncertain and wishy-washy with relationships, there just wasn’t a lot that drew me […]
3.5 stars — There were so many things I absolutely LOVED about this book, but it was also missing something to push it over the top, kwim? I am in LOVE with Asher. He was unique, adorable, almost too good to be true. He swoonily always said the right things when it came to his […]
4.5 stars — Dudes!! This one surprised me in the BEST ways! I was sucked in from the beginning, and it was just so different and fun for a retelling! As usual I forgot to finish this review, so it’ll be a bit choppy… First things first, the narrator was fantastic! Ms. Fortgang’s voices were […]
4.5 stars — This felt like a true coming of age YA novel…just one that brings more diversity and representation. And while I learned a LOT about being trans, and about all the different flavours of queer out there, if you break it down it’s also just about Felix figuring out who he is, coming into […]
3.5 stars — I started this one by listening to the audiobook, but it really did not capture my attention in that format. It wasn’t that the narrator was bad, I thought she was quite good. But I think there was something about the narrative that just didn’t work for my distracted mind. So I switched […]
4 stars — I’ve had ups and downs with retellings, but this one was totally solid! Mr. Sanderlin was a solid narrator. He wasn’t my favourite, but it’s probably just a personal taste thing, not because of his talent. In general his different voices were fairly easy to tell apart, I mostly only had a […]
4.5 stars — I mean…I knew it was going to be bad (the inevitable cliffhanger)…but wow. Just. Why did I read this right now? Why didn’t I wait?? *wailing noises* OK, it’s not *that* bad. I have some theories. But still. WRITE FASTER!!!!! So, uh, yeah. I really enjoyed it. I read the first book, […]
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 […]
