Thanks to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn't affected the content of my review. I'm as surprised as anyone that I didn't really like this. It wasn't a bad read, and there were parts I really liked, but a large part of this book just felt extremely frustrating to me, rather than … [Read more]

Everybody else seems to *hate* this, but I really liked it!

I honestly don't understand where all the one-star reviews are coming from. This was fine! Not the best thing I've ever read, but solid. I get that not every person is going to like every book, and that's as it should be, but the overwhelming hatred for this frankly baffles me. Like, I'm not gonna … [Read more]

Once again, I find myself rushing to complete this review before I can allow myself to start my re-read of book six. This book was just as good as I remembered, and in fact, I actually think it was better. I noticed so many things this time around that I didn't before, when I was just focused on, … [Read more]

I spent my July 4th holiday off work reading about a fictional British character based on another fictional British character. I read this whole thing in a day, but even if I hadn't had the day off work, I would have zoomed through it. I just love this series, its whole vibe. I've said this before, … [Read more]

A few weeks ago, as I was cruising around online looking at Lenormand decks (the subject of another review), I saw someone describe themselves in their profile as “bonecaster”. Having spent many years among practitioners of non-mainstream faiths, I had seen the term before, but had pushed it aside. … [Read more]

The death of a reality TV star.

Like a Sister by Kellye Garrett

I can see how this might not be for everyone, particularly people who like their thrillers to have lots of twists and over the top stuff happening, but I thought this was a solid book. While the thriller/mystery plot had some holes in it, I very much appreciated that the character arcs were fully … [Read more]
