This isn’t my first King novel – I read the first two Dark Tower books and half of the third (and just…never finished, oops. I hit a suuuper boring part and never picked it back up again *shrugs*). I have to admit that I find his books intimidating, not only because they’re always HUGE but also because he’s SO hyped and I’m a black sheep. Baa. However, this one really worked for me! It’s almost two different stories in one, […]

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 […]

I didn’t love this book quite as much as I loved the first book. It had a little bit of Second Book Syndrome going on, to be honest (I’m hoping book 3 will make up for it). It started off strong – lots of action and hijinks, Vanja being her amoral incorrigible self, and the humor and sarcastic banter that I loved so much about the first book. But at the 50% mark it started dragging, and my attention waned. […]

I’m not gonna lie, this started slow. I was pretty bored in the beginning, and the multiple POVs – five of them – were making it worse. I outright hated Jude’s chapters, and didn’t care a whole lot about Laskia’s either. 5 points of view were overwhelming, and in the beginning felt a bit unnecessary. However, right around the 30% mark, things finally picked up. And from that point on, I was hooked! The action was almost non-stop from that point up until […]

This was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! I wanted SO badly to get on the Illumicrate sub for this book, but I was on the waitlist for months and missed it (I missed Song of Silver, too *cries*). Then, after it was released, I had a hard time getting my hands on it. There’s no audio available in the US (which is odd)… I guess it doesn’t release here until September. There’s no ebook, either (also not out […]

TW: Rape and sexual assault, child molestation, physical abuse I’m not gonna lie, I probably never would have picked this up if my book twin Christy hadn’t recommended it. That cover is awful, sorry. But I’m glad I did give it a try! This book had some major A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder vibes, which is the kind of mystery I’ve been after ever since I read it. It even featured the same narrator, Bailey Carr (who is fantastic, […]
