The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

by Leave a Comment

I don’t have too much to say about this one outside of, not every thing needs a sequel. This was just bad. From beginning to end the only comment I had to myself was who was this for exactly? The first book ended perfectly with Daphne Parrish (the first Mrs. Parrish) getting away clean from her ex-husband and his new terrible wife. This sequel had so many ridiculous side plots that I just got fed up. And with how this second one ended, I have […]

I Found You by Lisa Jewell

Trigger warning: Sexual assault I struggled with the rating on this one, but honestly it’s a three star read. I think that there were way too many gaps in this one and the past POV with Graham honestly took away from things. I am realizing that I wish that the POVs had stayed women throughout since we have a lot of things that were about the abuse, rape, murder, and assault of women. And honestly, the character of Alice was out of her head. I […]

The Fall Risk by Abby Jimenez

Honestly this is mostly a 3.5 star read, but I loved the interactions between Charlotte and Seth. I agree with my friend Sam, thought the ending was a big old eh frankly with regards to the stalking subplot. “The Fall Risk” follows Charlotte and Seth. Stairs are removed from their apartment complex so they are both stuck until the following week when the stairs will be reinstalled. Charlotte is dealing with having to move multiple times because of a stalker. Seth is getting over being […]

The Bookstore Keepers by Alice Hoffman

I don’t know if this is going to be the last book in Hoffman’s series, but this felt like a very weird note to end things on. I have loved the magical realism of the other books, but this one was kind of not hitting it for me. And I think it’s because of a common thing that often happens in romance books which I think is going to set off some readers. No spoilers, but I was just disappointed by it. “The Bookstore Keepers” […]

Slither by Joseph Delaney

I finished Slither around 2 am today and honestly this was just not good. You know all the ways that made “I Am Grimalkin” so fantastic? Totally missing here. It doesn’t help that even though she shows up, we don’t get her POV which maybe would have helped. Instead we stay in the head of Slither (a terrible character) and Nessa (an oldest daughter forced to have to deal with the fact her father sold her into slavery and certain death). Also there is way […]

Exposure by Ramona Emerson

Exposure by Ramona Emerson

by Leave a Comment

What a bummer, the first book had such an excellent premise and I think that Emerson wanted to have her cake and eat it too with this one. I think that Rita should have been the sole focus of this second book and instead seemed to be stuffed into it and it just didn’t work. “Exposure” follows Rita after the events of the last book. Rita, still a forensic photographer is dealing with the fallout of everyone knowing she sees ghosts. And using what she […]
