“Survival is bravery, too.” I had sky high hopes for this book going in, and while it sadly didn’t meet my expectations, I did still enjoy it for the most part. It was actually quite hard for me to rate this book because I had such mixed feelings over it. While I adored certain aspects of this book, I found others to be rather dull and dragging. My absolute favorite thing about this book is how atmospheric it is! The […]
This book was one of those that I enjoy while reading and then never think about it again. Mostly I just enjoyed the murder mystery aspect and the setting. The vibe of this book was by far my favorite part! I loved the bayou/backwoods southern gothic atmosphere of this book. The fiddle that brought ghosts back was awesome, too! I wish there had been a lot more of that, because those parts are where this book really shines. Sadly, the […]
I expected so, so much more from this. Here I am again, the black sheep – the ratings for this book on Goodreads are fantastic (seriously, WHERE are the 1 and 2 star reviews?!), and with it being a space book? I was sure I’d love it. Womp, womp. I remember exactly nothing about the plot or what happened in this book. I remember that the writing was super bland and the story was generic AF, like a million other […]
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 […]
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BOOK SOONER?!?! This book has been out for two freakin’ years and I’m just now finding out about it. I think maybe I had seen it in 2020 when it was released, and didn’t look twice because the cover and title didn’t appeal to me much. I was googling orange covers for the #readtherainbowchallenge and this popped up so I took a second look at it and decided to pick it up. I […]
It’s not very often that I find a book that makes me literally laugh out loud, so I genuinely cherish Shelby as an author! The wit and humor that I loved so much from the first book was still present in this one, which makes me so happy! I do think that this suffered from a bit of Second Book Syndrome. I still enjoyed it, but it wasn’t quite as good as the first book. It felt like filler, to […]
