Book Reviews

  • THE UNRAVELING OF CASSIDY HOLMES BY: ELISSA R. SLOAN

    Don’t hate me … I know I’m going to get a lot of push back on this … but this book just wasn’t that good … Overall the story of trying to expose what the media and powers that be are doing to innocent people going in to the industry? Totally overshadowed by the greed…

  • SUMMER OF ’69 BY: ELIN HILDERBRAND

    We have the same birthday! (Kinda) I’m not sure how to feel about this book. It was okay. A little exhausting. A little boring. In the end I finished it, so it couldn’t have been that bad? I think I have to give up on this author. I liked one of her books and have…

  • THEN SHE WAS GONE BY: LISA JEWELL

    A weird, wild ride … I am a big fan of Lisa Jewell and this wasn’t her best work. As I think back to this now I have happy thoughts about the book. The odd little girl, the odd tangles … yet in the end it was still just plainly, odd. It didn’t seem to…

  • TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE BY: CAROLA LOVERING

    Not for me … This is a 2.5, rounded up to 3 star book. I can’t even put my finger on what was off about this book, but something was just OFF. It just wouldn’t end. The ‘twist’ was meh. The characters, meh. It’s the kind of story that your friend tells you at a…

  • THE WITCH ELM BY: TANA FRENCH

    This was a hard rating to give! I am a HUGE Tana French fan. HUGE. So sitting here thinking about this book, I’m like what was this? This felt like nothing like her older books. The writing felt like a completely different author. I will never downgrade a review based on not liking a character…

  • A WILD WINTER SWAN BY: GREGORY MAGUIRE

    I wish I would have read during Christmas time. This is a cutesy, folkey, holiday story. I didn’t really flow with the writing. I get the point of the story, but I don’t get it. It felt like all the pieces were there for a good story, trying to tell me some sort of life…

  • HIS NAME IS CWIZ BY: JEREMY RHYNE

    DNF. I gave up on this one.To be fair, I gave up on it due to the style of the actual book. I just don’t like super short stories/essays like this. It doesn’t keep my attention. I did giggle along to a handful of the stories I did read. But I didn’t feel connected to…

  • BLACK WINGS BEATING BY: ALEX LONDON

    At the beginning of this review, I still don’t know what to rate it… I’m so conflicted. I hated this book, loved this book but am left mostly confused about my feelings. I will say, I FINISHED IT. Being able to finish a book get you 2 stars in my eyes at a min. The…

  • THE SECRET PLACE (DUBLIN MURDER SQUAD, #5) BY: TANA FRENCH

    Hard time with this review. I am HUGE Tana French fan.Like many other reviewers, this was disappointing. I actually also just finished ‘The Witch Elm’ – which was worse than ‘The Secret Place’ – so that’s a positive? I love Dublin Murder Squad, but this book was the nail in the coffin and I probably…

  • MEXICAN GOTHIC BY: SILVIA MORENO-GARCIA

    I 100% read this book because goodreads and other reviewers told me to …… and I shouldn’t have. I mean I should have because I believe you can’t have an opinion on something unless you read them (which is why I read a lot of bad books…). I’m not saying this book was bad, but…
