This book was one of those that I enjoy while reading and then never think about it again. Mostly I just enjoyed the murder mystery aspect and the setting. The vibe of this book was by far my favorite part! I loved the bayou/backwoods southern gothic atmosphere of this book. The fiddle that brought ghosts back was awesome, too! I wish there had been a lot more of that, because those parts are where this book really shines. Sadly, the […]

As I write this review, it’s been exactly 3 days since I finished this book, and I already barely remember a thing. I had to put actual effort into remembering what happened – probably because nothing happened in this entire freaking book. The plot was non-existent, the world building was mediocre, and the magic system was half-assed. Pair that with slow pacing, vapid characters, and a horrible romance (that unfortunately took over the entire story) and it’s no wonder I don’t remember […]

This is the kind of book that I would never in a million years expect to work for me. It’s cliche, predictable, generic, and chock full of tropes…but I loved it! No one is more shocked than me to be completely honest. I usually hate the crazy hyped stuff that everyone loves, but this one? Well, there’s a reason for all the hype! The writing is superb! In the beginning when there wasn’t much happening, the writing was enough to keep me […]

This was a book club pick, and something I would have never touched in a million years on my own. I have never been a fan of historical fiction and usually avoid it at all costs. So, I ended up being pleasantly surprised by this one! The audiobook was FANTASTIC! I didn’t enjoy the flashbacks a whole lot, because that’s where the historical part really shone through. I didn’t care all that much about Hazel and James or Aubrey and […]

I’m so sad that I didn’t love this one. The hype for this book is UNREAL! Everyone talks about how beautiful the writing is, but it didn’t wow me. In fact, I found this story to be somewhat dull. I loved the idea of the magic system, but the middle got pretty boring when Lark was in the castle. I didn’t care at all for the romance, either. There was zero chemistry between Lark and Tiras, and it borderlined controlling […]

Before we get into this shit show: THIS IS NOT YA. There is lots of sexual content in this book. If you want an angsty smutty romance with zero plot, LOOK NO FURTHER. WORST case of Second Book Syndrome I’ve read in as long as I can remember. This year must be all about sequels that disappointed me! This one is the worst yet, though. I think this is the single most disappointing sequel I’ve ever read. I loved the […]
