Buckle up, ladies and gents. Because I have a LOT of complaints. Firstly, I want to say that I listened to the audiobook, so some of my spellings may be off. I thought the MC was ‘Elsbeth’ for almost the whole book, until I finally looked at the synopsis; so I’m sure the other character names are probably spelled weird too lmao. Secondly, WHY DO I ALWAYS LET THE HYPE MONSTER GET ME?! WHY AM I ALWAYS A BLACK SHEEP?! […]
I honestly don’t remember a darn thing about the second book. I enjoyed the first book for the most part, even though it was generic AF (thanks to the fantastic audiobook narrator, I’m quite sure); but sadly I enjoyed this one a bit less than the first. I did still mostly enjoy it while I was listening, but it felt even more generic than the first book and had a bit of second book syndrome going on. Although, Luca and Ama […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I wish I could simply enjoy the books that everyone else enjoys. *long suffering sigh* I mean, it wasn’t bad, it was just generic AF. Like every single other generic high fantasy book out there. I’ve read the same story a thousand times, and this one didn’t bring anything new to the table. There was literally nothing original in this book and nothing at all to stand out in my mind. The whole thing was entirely forgettable. I was actually enjoying […]
