Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon
So I gave this one 3.5 stars and rounded it up to 4 stars. I have to say once the book just moved straight to Shep and Claudia having hot sexy times it got a lot better. I think Weatherspoon was trying to do a romantic suspense book and the suspense part did not work for me at all. There were so many holes in that whole plot, and anytime one of the characters referenced it I would go, oh yeah, random serial killer? What? […]
The Readbreast by Jo Nesbø
I Did Not Finish at 25 percent. Everyone told me I was going to love this. But at over 600 pages and 25 percent in, you have to be better than this. I just didn’t care about anything. Reading about Harry falling off the wagon again I just could not. And the whole set up with him shooting a secret service agent was so farcical I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief. I think because the book being written out of sequence is just what finally […]
Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews
I have read the entire Kate Daniels series and used to have reviews for it back in the day on Amazon. Deleted and moved on. But I also decided to do a re-read a while back that I stopped because I forgot how much the earlier books were just not that great. And yeah this one, was not that great. Thank God the latter books in the series kicked butt and I absolutely love the spin offs to this series. We have Kate still feeling […]
50 Harbor Street by Debbie Macomber
Bless, I used to gobble these books down like chocolates back in the day. It was just so comforting to check in with the residents of Cedar Cove. My re-reads haven’t been that great though. This at least took my mind off of anything pressing and I just went with it though I thought the plot was way too obvious. I forgot about the whole thing with Linette and Cal dating. I do think this was the beginning of me not really loving the series […]
The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher
I did not think it was humanly possible for me to not love something by T. Kingfisher, but here it is. This got recommended to me by a few people after I loved “What Moves the Dead.” I can honestly say I was not feeling this one. It dragged so much. Took me a week plus to finish it because it was just not holding my interest. I gave up understanding anything and just adored Foxy, Skip, and Tomas though. “The Twisted Ones” follows a […]
Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
August 23, 2022 review: I swear, I do love Christmas romance books. No idea why. Probably all of those Hallmark movies or something. But this re-read was pretty dry and I just got through it quickly. I have been reading this series since I was in my 20s and Becky is still acting like a whole ass mess. She stopped being “twee” for me several books ago. I just happened to remember I had this one and decided to read it for a book bingo […]
