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…

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…
