Let’s Bake a Deal by JD Cadmon A Romance, Independently Published in 2022, 160 Pages What I Didn’t Like: I wanted a bit more. I didn’t need it, the story is wonderful as it is and didn’t leave any open questions, but I loved the characters and wanted more. Fabian made me uncomfortable. I’m sure... Continue Reading →
Progress Report by Roman Lando A Science Fiction, Independently Published in 2022, 234 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Not sure where I stand yet on the voice.

Promises & Pomegranates by Sav R. Miller Dark Romance, Aug 2021 Independent Published, 380 Pages What I Didn’t Like: I had a hard time connecting with either character. I didn’t care for our FMC.

The Silver Dragon by S A McClelland YA Fantasy, Independently Published in 2023, 224 Pages What I Didn’t Like: The pacing felt a little lopsided.

Shampoo & Conditioner by M.L. Ortega A Mystery/Thriller, Independently Published in 2022, 101 Pages What I Didn’t Like: The story is very bare bones. The plot is the focus, which is fine, but you don’t get many chances to connect with the characters. It feels like a rushed story. This is Book 2. While it’s... Continue Reading →

The Shroud by George Bachman A Fantasy, 2022 by Sublime, 398 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Wordy, often unnecessarily so. I don’t mind beautiful language and poetic descriptions but this was often a bit much. Underlining. I could not figure out WHY certain words, phrases, or paragraphs were underlined. They weren’t linked in my ebook... Continue Reading →
Broken Bonds by J. Bree Paranormal Romance, Independently published in 2021 , 418 Pages What I Didn’t Like: There were no trigger warnings listed or suggested.

Einstein in the Attic by Dana Dargos A Science Fiction, Independently Published in 2022, 357 Pages What I Didn’t Like: This won’t affect my rating but it’s something that may help you decide between ebook and paperback.

Fall of Titan by HG Ahedi A Science Fiction, Independently Published in 2020, 295 Page What I Didn’t Like: I don’t especially like starting a book with a list of characters.
