ARC Review: The Isles of the Gods by Amie Kaufman

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on April 24, 2023 | 1 Comment

I’m not gonna lie, this started slow. I was pretty bored in the beginning, and the multiple POVs – five of them – were making it worse. I outright hated Jude’s chapters, and didn’t care a whole lot about Laskia’s either. 5 points of view were overwhelming, and in the beginning felt a bit unnecessary. However, right around the 30% mark, things finally picked up. And from that point on, I was hooked! The action was almost non-stop from that point up until […]

Audiobook Review: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

Disclaimer: I don’t usually swear in my reviews, but there’s some colorful language in this one. Welp, there’s a reason this took me three whole years to pick up. I just want to say: I despise when a series is “finished” and the author writes another book for it years down the road. They are always, always terrible, in my opinion. I cannot think of one single series where I haven’t hated it. (*side eyeing you, Tahereh Mafi*) To me […]

I was pretty disappointed with Phase Four, and not many of the older phase movies are ones I’d watch over and […]

Audiobook Review: A Door in the Dark by Scott Reintgen

I am so incredibly disappointed. This was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases. The concept was super cool and unique! Reintgen always writes books unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I loved the scientific magic system and thought it was interesting how there were wands and other vessels used to store basically magic, and they had to be recharged with a kind of points system (it sounded like ‘ocklies’ but I have no idea how to spell it) to […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Truly Devious, Come Find Me, Night Shift

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on April 14, 2023 | 0 Comments

This one was overall just meh and not at all memorable. I had been craving mystery-esque kind of books when I picked this one up, and I guess I was just wanting (and expecting) much more from this story. It was lacking the driving intrigue of a great mystery that keeps you reading because it’s, y’know, mysterious, and you want to know more. This one did not have that at ALL. It’s labeled as a thriller but wasn’t even the […]
