4 stars — This one had sooooo many great elements! I seriously LOVED the dialogue and witty banter — it was 100% a highlight. The problem for me lie in that with so much dialogue bits (especially through texting), I felt like I was missing some of the emotion and inner thoughts of Delia. It […]
4.5 stars — OK, so this was one of those books that for the most part was 10++++++ stars, but then had a few niggly spots that bugged me, so I averaged out to 4.5 stars. Don’t question me, there’s no logic to make this make sense. I honestly spent so much of the time […]
4 stars — This one was a little slower at times, and a little more angsty/drama-y than I normally go for. But the characters were really real, and so easy to feel all the emotions for. They each had such a unique story, and it was interesting to see how their tragedies/traumas made them match each […]
4 stars — Well, that was a super intriguing premise, though really dark and disturbing as well. Rain and Wes go through a LOT. I was intrigued by what was going on with Rain, but I also started to lose patience when it took so long to get answers. I think I was anticipating Rain’s […]
3.5 stars — There was a lot of feelz going on in this book…my heart isn’t always in the mood for that level of drama and angst, and I’m torn on whether I was in the right mood reading this. But the thing is that I was sucked in and connected to these characters, even if […]
DNF @ 13% (Chapter 5 of Wet) — *sigh* OK, I know I’m in a bit of a slump, so I’m probably DNF’ing quicker than I normally would. But I just had a hard time getting into this one. I’m not really connecting with Sadie that much, and so far West hasn’t pulled me in […]
DNF @24% (Chapter 10) — So, this is a new author for me, and I was excited to read her for black history month. And it looked like this was going to be a bit of an ownvoices book too, so double yay! But right away I could tell the writing wouldn’t likely be a […]
It was too short to get really invested with the characters. Cute, short, erotic romance. I mean there isn’t much you can say about 54 pages. Girl likes boy, boy goes up for auction, girls friend bids on him for her and wins, girl flakes on win, boy is intrigued, shenanegins ensues. Ends in steaminess. […]
4.5 stars — I have a feeling this review is going to be all over the place. I mean, I LOVED it. It was everything I’ve come to expect from a True North novel, and I just enjoyed it immensely. It also hit me hard in a few places and made me cry. And most […]
Favorite quotes: It took a long time, but eventually, I got very good at hiding the darkness in my soul. The predator inside. But, in this moment, as I stared down at Riley’s face, still stained with the tears she’d cried on me, a black wave of fury settled into my soul. The sort of […]
