2023 Book Review: Gearteeth

Gearteeth by Timothy Black A Fantasy, 2012 by Dreamsphere, 411 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: Weird formatting, which won’t affect my rating but did affect the readability. The chapter breaks don’t register in a Kindle and there’s no table of contents to use to judge chapter length. Also, there was a break in the middle... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: The Terminal List

The Terminal List by Jack Carr A Mystery/Thriller, 2018 by Atria, 408 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Very detailed descriptions. This isn’t a negative for everyone, I know. But if you don’t like very wordy paragraphs packed with tons of details, consider this a content warning.  Torture, which is a content warning of sorts. It... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: The Innocent One

The Innocent One by Lisa Ballantyne A Mystery/Thriller, 2022 by Pegasus Crime, 352 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: A little predictable and sort of similar to a lot out there in the way the ending played out. I wanted something more unique than I got. The pacing is not consistent throughout the story. The middle... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: Weekend

Weekend by Christopher Pike YA Mystery/Thriller, 1986 by Scholastic Press, 240 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: Over the top dramatization of teens behaving badly. Funny how this used to be the norm and yet now it feels so fake.  Obsession with sex. Again, it feels over the top. Strangely, I’ve noticed this a lot on... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: Sanctuary

Sanctuary by Caryn Lix YA Science Fiction, 2018 by Simon Pulse, 480 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: The “oh no he’s so cute” stuff is a bit annoying, although not excessive. The voice feels awkward and fake, more like an adult trying to write like a teenager than an actual teenager.  I didn’t love our... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: Her Latent Charm

Her Latent Charm by Dana C Brentson A Fantasy, 2023 by DcBrentson Author, 442 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: Slow start. The paving is uneven so some spots move quickly while others drag. It makes it difficult to get your bearings.  I didn’t find myself connected to any of the characters, which made it very... Continue Reading →

2023 Book Review: Ember Queen

Ember Queen by Laura Sebastian YA Fantasy, 2020 by Delacorte Books, 512 Pages  What I Didn’t Like: This isn’t really a negative, more of a note or warning. The book does very little fill-in of the previous books. To get the most out of this one you definitely want to read them in order and... Continue Reading →
