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 […]
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BOOK SOONER?!?! This book has been out for two freakin’ years and I’m just now finding out about it. I think maybe I had seen it in 2020 when it was released, and didn’t look twice because the cover and title didn’t appeal to me much. I was googling orange covers for the #readtherainbowchallenge and this popped up so I took a second look at it and decided to pick it up. I […]

The characters are all flat with no personality to speak of, and I didn’t care about any of them or anything that was happening. Color […]
Are you a fan of space books? Are you also a fan of the movie Ghost Ship? LOOK NO FURTHER! This book is for you! And also, this book was 100% for me. I am a huge space horror fan, and it’s sooo hard to find them. Or good ones, at least. This was one of my most anticipated books of 2022, so I was super jazzed when I got it as an eARC in late 2020 from NetGalley. And […]
Black sheep yet again. Womp womp. I’ll start with the things I liked first. The world was really unique and interesting – a bit weird, sure, but it was cool. I liked that it had second person point of view, and the twist was great. I appreciated how all of the points of view came together. But that’s where my enjoyment stopped. I couldn’t connect to the characters at all and I just didn’t care about anything that was happening. […]
