The Midnight Lie DNF @ 42% I had high hopes for this, and have been looking forward to reading it because I loved the Winner’s Curse. Sadly, this one fell short of those expectations. It wasn’t bad or anything, I just didn’t care about a thing that was happening and found the prose to be very dry and boring. The main character has the personality of a wet rag and I couldn’t connect to her at all, which made me […]

It was morbidly fascinating, though (in the way a train […]

The ratings for this book on Goodreads are insane. Only three percent of them are below 3 stars. What the […]

I didn’t love this book quite as much as I loved the first book. It had a little bit of Second Book Syndrome going on, to be honest (I’m hoping book 3 will make up for it). It started off strong – lots of action and hijinks, Vanja being her amoral incorrigible self, and the humor and sarcastic banter that I loved so much about the first book. But at the 50% mark it started dragging, and my attention waned. […]
