Star Bringer DNF @ 5% of audio I made it a whopping FIVE. PERCENT. Lmaoooo. It was 44 minutes, and I listen at almost 2x speed, so I lasted 20 minutes. 🤣 Which is a shame, because there’s multiple narrators (I *swear* the audiobook said Suzy Jackson in the beginning, and I love her, but she wasn’t listed on the title details so maybe I’m just trippin’ lol) and the first couple were decent. But then it got to […]
The Midnight Lie DNF @ 42% I had high hopes for this, and have been looking forward to reading it because I loved the Winner’s Curse. Sadly, this one fell short of those expectations. It wasn’t bad or anything, I just didn’t care about a thing that was happening and found the prose to be very dry and boring. The main character has the personality of a wet rag and I couldn’t connect to her at all, which made me […]
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 […]
DNF @ 50% (second try) I give up. I gave it a valiant effort. I really did. The first time I made it right around the 100 page mark before I gave up from boredom. But, this book has a ridiculous amount of raving reviews, so I thought I’d give the audio a shot in hopes that it’d be better. It wasn’t. I wasn’t a fan of the narrator at ALL. He was SO boring! Some of the accents and […]
Welp, first DNF of the year! This book actually started off pretty strong. In the beginning I was into it, and excited about the space aspect. I love space books! Sadly, while the concept was awesome, the delivery was pretty awful. When I saw how bad the reviews were, I was worried; but I was still hopeful, because almost all of the negative ones were audio (which apparently is very robotic, yikes) and I tend to be the black sheep […]
Honestly, this is a “it’s not you, it’s me” situation. I used to read Paranormal Romance a lot in my early 20’s, and I just plain got sick of it. After a while, it all reads EXACTLY THE SAME. Super sexy, single Mary Sue – a virgin too, eye roll – in her mid 20’s (what 25 year old has NEVER HAD AN ORGASM? I mean I’m sure it happens occasionally but why is it EVERY SINGLE PR EVER?!) meets […]
