If I could use one word to describe this book, it would be….gross. But like, in the most delightful way possible! (If you like gory stuff, that is. If you don’t, this book is absolutely not for you.) I love really dark disturbing shit, so this one was right up my alley! I loved how grotesque and gruesome this book was. I knew in the first chapter I was going to love that part of the story. And love it I […]

Wow. I’m sorry to say that I absolutely hated this book. It’s got a pretty low rating on Goodreads, but I didn’t let that stop me because there are a few books I rated 4 or 5 stars that have a low average rating – sometimes my little black sheep heart works in my favor. Sadly, I was not the black sheep this time. This book is just…not good. I don’t like to say books are bad – I would […]

This was an atmospheric and entertaining read! I don’t have much to say about it other than I enjoyed it. The narration was really good – I found the narrator to be engaging and she did a great job bringing the story to life. The air of mystery kept me invested, and there were plenty of twists along the way to keep me on my toes. I like that things were revealed slowly, giving just enough to keep you intrigued […]

Holy shit, this book was insane!! I honestly have no idea, even after finishing, what was actually true and what wasn’t. The title is apt because there were so many lies you never knew what to believe! I’ve been seeking out more mystery thrillers lately, but I don’t have much experience with psychological thrillers. I ended up loving it because it totally fucks with your head. It started off a little slow, but once crazy things start happening, it grabs […]

I have very mixed feelings about this book. For one, it gets pretty fucking weird at one point (actually, it reminded me of the strange and trippy end of Interstellar, but like…on steroids) and I feel like there was too much going on. This book was a very ambitious attempt at a broad opera spanning timelines, a la Cloud Atlas and Sea of Tranquility. Actually, I’d just listened to the latter only about a month before I picked this one […]

  Star Bringer DNF @ 5% of audio I made it a whopping FIVE. PERCENT. Lmaoooo. It was 44 minutes, and I listen at almost 2x speed, so I lasted 20 minutes. 🤣 Which is a shame, because there’s multiple narrators (I *swear* the audiobook said Suzy Jackson in the beginning, and I love her, but she wasn’t listed on the title details so maybe I’m just trippin’ lol) and the first couple were decent. But then it got to […]
