DNF @ chapter 14 — Should I have stopped in the first chapter when she called the girl her crush was kissing a skank because of her tight clothes, big boobs and big hair? Probably. But it was a 2013 book, and I try to remember that I wasn’t super enlightened back then either, so […]
3 stars — You know what? This one started out pretty strong. Dez was sassy, if a little edgy. Kale was strangely adorable. The action was fast-paced, the mystery intriguing. But it started going downhill, it picked up speed, and I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief anymore. Seriously, I initially looked at my 3 stars […]
2 stars — Oh dear. I don’t know why I didn’t DNF this book. I should have. I think I just needed to see how it would all end up. But I am so not the reader I used to be, and I can’t unsee some things. BTW, this review is going to be spoilery…and […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — I must say that this book broke the mold for me for paranormal romance. For one, the romance was really slow and in some ways more realistic b/c it started out with an innate curiosity about the other…something that tugged them together, for reasons they could not explain, and made […]
3.5 stars — This is a case of a book being almost perfect for me, but failing to get out of its own way in certain areas. Like seriously, I know lots of people are tired of this trope, but I still gravitate towards it — so the book didn’t need to work very hard. […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — eeee!!! Totally fangirling all over the place with this one. This was a *happy sigh* finish. Then I started walking around thinking about all the gushing I was gonna do, and for some reason I thought maybe I should have something intelligent to say, and then I got thinking and […]
2 stars — This one wasn’t a match for me, and I don’t even know why I continued reading it. There was so much leading me to DNF it, but my curiosity got the better of me and I kept going to try to get some answers…I kept wanting it to be better than it […]
DNF @ chapter 10 (2 hours in): This one just wasn’t for me, for a few different reasons. It was seriously overly sweet in my opinion, or at least up until this point…like toothache sweet. There wasn’t a lot of conflict, which apparently I need something to keep me tuning in. And it wasn’t just […]
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 […]
3 stars — Yup, that confirms it, I think this author just isn’t for me. I just have a problem connecting with her characters, and I inevitably find little things that bug me and take away from my enjoyment. Before I go further, let’s talk narrators. I thought both Nelson Hobbs and Stephanie Rose did […]
