Mini Audio Reviews: Wild is the Witch, Belladonna, Our Crooked Hearts

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 19, 2023 | 0 Comments

Overall this book was just okay for me. It fell completely in the mediocre middle ground – okay characters, okay world (albeit a bit vague), okay plot. It doesn’t really stand out in the sea of Urban Fantasy and witch books, and there’s nothing really all that special about it; but I did enjoy it while I was listening! The main thing that stood out about this book for me was the owl and the forest setting. Other than that […]

DNF Reviews: Not Even Bones, Dark Theory, Diviners

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 11, 2023 | 0 Comments

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 […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Inheritance Games, Weight of Blood, Nettle & Bone

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 […]

Audiobook Review: Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco

This was actually my second time reading this book, because to be honest I didn’t remember much of anything about it the first time I read it, oops. I did really enjoy it though, and I enjoyed it the second time through as well! I love the Italian setting and culture in this book – it made me SO HUNGRY!! Lmao! The world in this book is so atmospheric and magical. I really enjoyed the stories of the Wicked (princes […]

Mini Audiobook Reviews: Frostblood, Bone Witch, Bound by Blood & Sand

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on June 18, 2021 | 0 Comments

I picked this up on a whim, and to be honest I went in expecting not to enjoy it very much. I ended up being surprised because while it wasn’t great, it was still a fairly decent read. It was pretty generic as far as high fantasy goes and doesn’t really stand out in the sea of fantasy. But Blake’s writing style was solid and the book was able to hold my interest. I enjoyed it for the most part […]

Mini Reviews: The Summer I Drowned, The Hearts We Sold

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 12, 2021 | 0 Comments

I’m going to be honest, I let this review go for WAY too long. At this point I really don’t remember anything at all about the book. But, in my defense, it wasn’t all that memorable and didn’t stick with me to begin with. I had forgotten much of what I read within the first week. I didn’t enjoy it very much while I was reading, either. I didn’t care about any of the characters or anything that was happening, […]
