ARC Review: A House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 27, 2023 | 0 Comments

I *almost* downloaded this book on Netgalley, but I’ve been trying really hard to not download anything else until I catch up on my backlist reviews. I ended up not needing to, because my bookstabestie Christy sent it to me (thanks Christy!!), which was a good thing because….this has been my least favorite Kingfisher novel thus far. Which makes me SO sad. The other two horror books I’ve read of hers (Hollow Places & Twisted Ones) were EPIC, so my […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Merciless Ones, Genesis Wars

I am SO. SAD. that I didn’t love this one. I adored Gilded Ones, and the sequel was a highly anticipated release. However, it had a raging case of Second Book Syndrome and left me feeling extremely disappointed. I never really got into the story or the world like I did in the first book (and both of those aspects were fantastic in the first book) and felt pretty disconnected overall. It didn’t leave much of an impression on me. […]

Audiobook Review: Black Tide by K.C. Jones

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 20, 2023 | 0 Comments

This book was awesome! It had a very Bird Box meets Some Quiet Place feel to it, but was wholly unique and stands out on its own. I’m honestly shocked that the ratings for this book are so low. For once I was the black sheep in a good way! My main complaint is that I didn’t connect to the characters like I’d hoped to. The only one I really cared about was the dog, Jake. And it’s not that […]

Mini Reviews: Blood Trials, Gallant, Forest of 1000 Lanterns

I had pretty mixed feelings about this book. Overall, I really enjoyed it. It had very strong Red Rising vibes, but was still totally unique in its own way. Fair warning: this book is heavy. It’s full of racism and misogyny and is quite brutal. I went back and forth between “yeah, this is awesome!!” to “ehh maybe it’s a little over the top” with both the brutality of the book and Kenna’s personality. I like dark and brutal, but there […]
