Pinhole Pinhole by Matthew Kagle A Science Fiction, Independently Published in 2013, 342 Pages What I Didn’t Like: There is a very large cast of characters who you’ll struggle to follow. My advice is to approach this more as a series of short stories surrounding an overall theme of time travel to feel as though... Continue Reading →
The Fatherhood of the Absent Sister The Fatherhood of the Absent Sister by Chloe Armstrong A Poetry, Independently Published in 2022, 49 Pages What I Didn’t Like: I want more. Really, this isn’t a negative, it's just a fact! I hope there’s another poetry book in this author’s future. If I’m being picky (and really I... Continue Reading →
Immortal Return Immortal Return by Jessaca Willis YA Fantasy, Independently Published in 2021, 531 Pages What I Didn’t Like: There were a few grammatical errors in my copy BUT I was working from an ARC so it’s likely these were fixed in the final. There’s a few “false” endings. By that I mean there are a... Continue Reading →
Under My Skin Under My Skin by Lisa Unger A Mystery/Thriller, 2018 by Park Row, 304 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Can be hard to follow. Between time jumps, dream sequences, and confusing circumstances for the main character, this one can be a little difficult to keep track of. There were definitely moments where I...

The Hunt The Hunt by Zoe Daniels YA Paranormal Fantasy, 1995 by Penguin, 250 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Terrible, toxic main male love interest. I do not remember Alex dissolving into such a horrible red flag laden character. Consider that a content warning if you need it. Unanswered questions. Namely, what happens to their clothing...

Big Magic Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert A Nonfiction, 2015 by Bloomsbury Publishing, 288 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Some parts are a little out there, even for me. It feels silly to talk about your creativity as something you actually speak to and even sillier to imagine it jumping from one person to another.... Continue Reading →
Maximum Ride Forever Maximum Ride Forever by James Patterson YA Science Fiction, 2015 from Little Brown, 400 Pages What I Didn’t Like: We didn’t NEED a 9th book in this series. Ok, the ending of the 8th one was one that made you think. One that made you assume things and didn’t give you all... Continue Reading →
My Husband's Wife My Husband’s Wife by Jane Corry A Mystery/Thriller, 2016 by Penguin, 373 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Strange pace in the beginning. You could easily lose track of the plot at first or wonder why this is classified as a mystery/thriller for a bit of the story. Unreliable narrator. I’ll come back to... Continue Reading →
Resistant Resistant by Rachael Sparks A Science Fiction, SparkPress in 2018, 296 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Secondary romance line felt unnecessary and forced. The good news is it’s not a major storyline, which means it’s not a major issue. Felt a bit younger. This one is an adult science fiction book, but it honestly reads... Continue Reading →
Blighted Heart Blighted Heart by Jessaca Willis YA Fantasy, Independently Published in 2021, 384 Pages What I Didn’t Like: I want more magic. Don’t get me wrong, I love that magic that is in here, but I’m hoping in the third book we get a chance to see Halira learn some more magic. One major scene... Continue Reading →
