I absolutely did not expect to love this book as much as I did!! The hype for it is so well deserved! I went in with little to no expectations – I hadn’t heard much about this one, I just knew that it had quite high ratings and a “curmudgeonly professor.” I enjoyed Even the Darkest Stars, and liked the narrator based on the Audible sample, so I used a credit to get the audiobook. And I’m so glad I […]

DNF @ 50% I wanted to love this – it’s marketed for fans of Dexter, after all – but sadly, I didn’t. I’ll start with the good: The concept was fantastic! I love how dark it was, and it was gory and brutal. I loved the magical creatures and the idea of a magical creature black market. Super cool! Unfortunately, that’s where my enjoyment ended. The writing is just…not good, sorry. It’s very juvenile to the point that it felt […]

WHY DOES HYPE ALWAYS GET ME?! I wanted to love this one SO bad. Sadly, I did not. I was extremely underwhelmed with this book and expected much more. My book twin Christy loved it, so I was sure I would too. *sobs* I loved the audio narrator, her accent was fantastic! I think she was the only reason I didn’t DNF this book. I liked how brutal the book was, but otherwise I was pretty bored. I have already […]

This was a book club pick, and something I would have never touched in a million years on my own. I have never been a fan of historical fiction and usually avoid it at all costs. So, I ended up being pleasantly surprised by this one! The audiobook was FANTASTIC! I didn’t enjoy the flashbacks a whole lot, because that’s where the historical part really shone through. I didn’t care all that much about Hazel and James or Aubrey and […]

This was good, not great. It was a quick read, and fairly entertaining, but it felt kind of juvenile to me. I feel like there was more focus on drama and romance than the puzzles we were promised. All of the boys felt like the exact same person (with extra jerkness to Grayson, maybe) and I was continuously having issues telling them apart. I was also confused about the love triangle (square??) and the fact that every freakin’ dude in […]

Holy CRAP this book was super creepy! This is my third Kingfisher novel, and by now I know 100% that I am a huge fan of her horror books. This one wasn’t *quite* as good as Hollow Places, but it was pretty close! I can’t believe it only has an average rating of 3.64 on Goodreads :( Just like in Hollow Places, there was humor to this book that I wasn’t expecting out of a horror, which was a pleasant […]
