Lynn’s Review: Another ShelfLove book down; but American Gods was quite a slog. I started in January and finally had to switch to the audio to make some progress. I’m not really sure what the problem was. I usually like Neil Gaiman’s books. But I just didn’t connect with this one. Let’s go with a […]
Lynn’s Review: Between the Shadowhunters TV show and Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, I’ve been rather immersed in the Shadowhunter world lately. And I’m definitely not complaining! It really is one of my favorite worlds to visit. And Shadowhunter Academy brings Simon and his nerdy t-shirts to life. These ten tales are written by Cassandra […]
Julie’s Review: After perusing all the other reviews, I seriously feel like I missed something. Honestly, I can’t say if the book itself has problems because it is the audiobook that gave me trouble. The narrator, well, sounds like a little girl. A soft little girl voice that no matter how high I turned […]
Lynn’s Review: If you are at all familiar with Chapter Break, you know how much Julie and I love Vampire Academy and Bloodlines. My first impression was YAY a new series by Richelle Mead! But then I read Glittering Court. And I wasn’t in love at all. There was no Dimitri fighting Strigoi. And no […]
Julie’s Review: I didn’t realize this book was the sixth in a series when I requested it for review from Audiobook Boom. That might have been an oops on my part, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying the story. Yes, I would definitely have benefited from getting to know the characters over multiple books, […]
Julie’s Review: I love a good vampire novel. I read a lot of them, and so I feel like I have a general expectation for the genre. Raphael was decent, but I expected more. I but didn’t really love it, didn’t hate it. It was just there. I did like our leading lady. Cyn is […]
Lynn’s Review: Have you ever watched a movie trailer, thought that movie will be great, to only see the movie and realize all the funny bits were in the trailer? That’s how I feel about The Accidental Demon Slayer. All the funny bits combined were probably 20% of the book. And the rest was […]
Lynn’s Review: I had all the feels while listening to A Court of Thorns and Roses. I loved everything set in Pythia – the Fae, the magic. Even the Evil Queen. The humans and the human world left me a bit put-off. A Court of Thorns and Roses is a loosely based on Beauty and […]
Lynn’s Review: If you read my TWHS post last week, here’s my review for Winter Sea. If you didn’t, shame on you! Read it now. I’ll wait. Winter Sea is two books for the price of one. Carrie is an author, writing about the Jacobites in 1708 Scotland. Her main character is Sophia. Both find […]
Julie’s Review: The Sin Eater’s Daughter sounded like a fantasy type novel to me at first, but it turned out to be a lot more historical royal court drama and less fantasy. The story takes place in an ancient kingdom, where the people believe in various Gods and where the culture maintains customs that we find […]
