Yeah, five stars. I knew this was going to happen, that I would feel the need to give this one five stars after a re-read, because this is the book that made me fall in love with the series. I'm not sure what it is about it exactly that makes me like it more than the first two books, which I like a … [Read more]

An academic slow-burn, very heartwarming, do recommend.

The Place Between by Kit Oliver

by 2 Comments

I really enjoyed this one. If you are in the mood for a slow burn, quiet romance featuring adults with adult responsibilities and mature emotional reactions, then you might also enjoy The Place Between.

Hell is Here

Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White

by Leave a Comment

There is a lot going on within the pages of Hello Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White. I will say that some of the bumps for me come from three main things.

Hawai’i Sea Turtle Rescue by Fabien Cousteau

If Mark Trail met Jeff Corwin met Steve Irwin met Fabien Cousteau, you would have Hawai’i Sea Turtle Rescue. Fabien Cousteau is the grandson to the famous Jacques Cousteau, and he seems to have an equal passion for wildlife and the ocean. He also seems to have a high opinion of himself, and the … [Read more]
