eARC Review: The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie Moning

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on March 3, 2025 | 0 Comments

This is rather hard for me to review, as I had mixed feelings about it. I absolutely LOVED Karen’s Fever series – namely, books 1-5. After that, the series kind of lost me. I mostly enjoyed books 6-8, but they started to feel a little monotonous and I never continued past that. I enjoyed most of the Highlander series, too, although Immortal Highlander is my favorite far above all the rest (ADAM BLACK!!). So, when I saw that she was […]

Audiobook Review: Slewfoot by Brom

Oh look, yet another wildly popular book that I didn’t enjoy. Baa. Not to say it was all terrible. There were some things I liked: namely, Father/Samson and the Wildfolk. I thought the magic/lore side of the story was really cool, and I enjoyed those parts. However, I wasn’t a huge fan of Abitha’s parts. Or Abitha’s character. Actually, I found all the characters to be rather flat, and didn’t connect with any of them. Not to mention there were […]

ARC Review: Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff

A HUGE thank you to St. Martin’s Press for sending me an early copy of the book! “Sunset waits for no saint, and the Dead run quick.” I. JUST. WOW, YA’LL. I daresay Damned was even better than Empire. This book rocked my fuckin’ socks off! Something I adore about Jay Kristoff is that he is a PRO at middle books. No second book syndrome here! (Actually, I think the second book has been my favorite in all of his trilogies!) […]

Review: Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on January 12, 2024 | 0 Comments

This was such a cute and wholesome read! I wasn’t sure if I would like it, because it’s literally just about an orc opening a coffee shop, and that’s not much of a plot. Tbh it sounded kinda boring. BUT, it definitely wasn’t! It’s true that there’s really not much of a plot going on, because the focus is all on the characters. And in a character driven novel, good characterization is so important. Thankfully, Travis pulled it off beautifully! […]

Review: Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Törz

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 […]

Audiobook Review: The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence

I had really high hopes for this one, but in the end I think my expectations were just too high. The ratings for this book are crazy high, and I was hoping to be blown away. Sadly, I felt pretty ‘meh’ about this book. I wanted SO badly to love this book. Baa, baa, black sheep. The concept is where this book really shines. It’s SO cool! The premise is wholly unique, and the atmosphere is inviting and uncanny. It’s […]
