Dear Roomie by Michelle Angelle A Romance, 2023 by Michelle Angelle Books, 262 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Everyone is perfect, beautiful, and brilliant. This always makes me roll my eyes, but I know not everyone feels the same way. I felt like the epilogue wasn’t necessary. It just went an extra step that I... Continue Reading →
The Elite by Kiera Cass YA Fantasy, 2013 by Harper Teen, 336 Pages What I Didn’t Like: The politics took a back seat here and that’s unfortunate because I liked how that made the previous book unique. Some repetition. You feel like the same few points keep coming back up over and over again. Some... Continue Reading →
Kill Your Darlings by LE Harper A Fantasy, 2023 by Shivnath Productions, 320 Page What I Didn’t Like: The emphasis on body temperature gets old quickly. While I do agree you can feel warmth from emotions, it’s mentioned a bit too much. It’s a heavy book. I couldn’t read quickly because the weight of the... Continue Reading →
Sidetracked by S.K. Kelley Fantasy, Bleeding Heart Books, 2021 , 455 pages What I Didn’t Like: Jayde’s lack of confidence was a little aggravating at points, I think it’s on point for the story, just the idea that a woman would blindly do some of the things she’s done struck me as odd and frustrating....

Angel From the Rust by Jason Link A Science Fiction, 2023 by Phoenix Forge Press, 416 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Some overused adverbs. A few times similes are even used within the same sentence. It’s a bit extreme. Some flat characters. The implication of some being good or bad is clear but they feel... Continue Reading →
It’s that time again. The time when I take a look back at what I actually accomplished in the last month. This time my reflection looks a bit different (on my end). I’m sitting in a hotel room while my family sleeps, attempting to get some reflection done in a rather comfortable little armchair before... Continue Reading →
Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie A Mystery/Thriller, 1937 by Collins Crime Club, 352 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Rather large cast of characters all introduced at once. This makes it tricky to keep track of everyone. You’re close to halfway through the book before the big event that you already knew about if... Continue Reading →
Keep Me Safe by Maya Banks Romance, 2014 by Harper Collins, 304 pages What I Didn’t Like: The twist towards the end was foreseeable, given that we had started to learn about our antagonist. This story was trying to give the thriller/suspense vibes but it fell flat for me on that one I didn’t connect... Continue Reading →
No Pain, No Gaines by Chip Gaines A Nonfiction, 2021 by Thomas Nelson, 224 Pages What I Didn’t Like: There are no real concrete plans here to build a network. It’s an idea and it’s things that have worked for one incredibly personable extrovert, but it’s nothing really concrete. This is coded as a business... Continue Reading →
Heartless by Tom Leveen YA Horror, Independently Published in 2018, 284 Pages What I Didn’t Like: I wanted more of the monster lore. Of course, I’m a total geek for that stuff so that could be why. I liked that it was included at all, I just wanted more. Classic bad decisions from our horror... Continue Reading →
