Mini Audio Reviews: Together We Burn, Luminaries, Princess of Souls

While this book didn’t necessarily stick with me, the concept was awesome! DRAGONADORS!! Like matadors, but with dragons! Fucking awesome, dude. It was unlike anything I’ve ever read before! I adored the dragon parts of this story and appreciated the Spanish culture, but the emotion was just not there for me. I would have liked to have connected to the characters and the story much more than I did. Especially considering there were dragons! The romance didn’t do it for […]

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

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 […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Off Planet, Disasters, Escaping Eleven

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 […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Borne, Bravely, Shades of Rust & Ruin

I hadn’t heard of this book before until I was searching for books narrated by Bahni Turpin (one of my fave narrators!) and this popped up. It sounded intriguing…and it was! It was a weird but fascinating read, unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I never read Annihilation, but I did see the movie, and it was also weird AF but also interesting and unusual. I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing style, but the premise is so unique […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Truly Devious, Come Find Me, Night Shift

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on April 14, 2023 | 0 Comments

This one was overall just meh and not at all memorable. I had been craving mystery-esque kind of books when I picked this one up, and I guess I was just wanting (and expecting) much more from this story. It was lacking the driving intrigue of a great mystery that keeps you reading because it’s, y’know, mysterious, and you want to know more. This one did not have that at ALL. It’s labeled as a thriller but wasn’t even the […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Salt to the Sea, So Good at Smiling, Anxious People

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on March 31, 2023 | 0 Comments

This is not typically something I would actively choose to pick up, as I am not a big fan of Historical Fiction; but the reviews are so good and everyone raves about it, so I thought I’d give it a try. I wanted so badly to love this one like everyone else did. However, despite the heartbreaking content of this book, the emotion was just not there for me. And it absolutely should have been. I found the writing and characters […]
