Holy. SHIT. Dude. This book. This is the kind of story I dream of finding every time I open a new book (and rarely find). This book GRABBED me from the very first page and never let go! I was hopelessly hooked, and I knew in the first handful of pages that this was going to be a 5 star read for me as well as a new favorite. And I was sooo not wrong! I fucking LOVED every single […]

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 […]

In the first half, this book really had me. It had a VERY strong Red Rising vibe, and the narrator was amazing, and I was HERE for it. I loved the hierarchy and the world and the idea of Will. However, about halfway through the book, it started losing me. The comparison to Red Rising got stronger and stronger until it was almost uncomfortable how similar they are. Because this book is a straight rip off of Red Rising. And […]

How can anyone be expected to find happiness when the world tells us every day to kill our darlings? This was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases!! Did it live up to the hype? I’m honestly not sure. My feelings on this book are quite mixed. I love love LOVE the idea of an author getting stuck in her own story. 10/10 the premise is fantastic and I am here for it. I also enjoyed the fact that when […]

I’m going to be completely honest: I never would have looked twice at this book. I didn’t even really know about its existence (or anything about it, for that matter). But, it was my book club’s pick for the month, so I checked out a sample of the audio…and realized that an octopus was a narrator. I was instantly intrigued! I went in with little to no expectations, and the result is that this book absolutely broadsided me. I did […]

This book was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! I didn’t love it like I’d hoped I would, but I still enjoyed it for the most part. The narration was great! I think without listening I wouldn’t have enjoyed this very much tbh and may have considered DNFing. The narrator reminded me a lot of Pippa’s narrator in Good Girl’s Guide (one of my fave audiobooks!). It started off kinda slow, but there was enough intrigue and suspense to […]
