(4 stars) The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher Kingfisher tells us from chapter one that the dog (Bongo, best dog ever) and the narrator (Mouse, also quite enjoyable) will be okay at the end of the book. This is good, because I liked them both very much, and this book was SO CREEPY that I really needed some reassurances by the end. Mouse gets called up by her dying father to help with his dead mother’s estate — specifically, the big old house in the […]

New Adult Continues to be My Nemesis

November 9 by Colleen Hoover

by Leave a Comment

Well I got lured into reading this book because I absolutely loved “Verity.” “November 9” was nonsensical though most of the book and when we get to the twist/reveal I was rolling my eyes. I am sorry, no one in the history of the world would be rooting on these two (Fallon and Ben) to get together. Also at times it felt like Hoover was slightly mocking “One Day” which I also didn’t like, but that was still better than two people only communicating/seeing each […]

For Fans of Jane Eyre and Rebecca

Verity by Colleen Hoover

by Leave a Comment

I don’t know what to say. This book really surprised me. Hoover hits on a great mix of themes from works like Jane Eyre and Rebecca to draw you in. Then you get a surprise ending that had me going what in the world and I wanted to dive back into the book all over again. I think that the first part of the book may start off a bit slow for readers, but by the time the heroine (Lowen) finds Verity’s autobiography you are […]

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover Finished Feb. 17, 2019, took 2  days to read 2 Stars on Goodreads Genre: Romance Rating 8/8 for 2019 overall, 2/2 for Romance I really need to keep track of where I get my book recommendations because I would question the person or blog that suggested I read this book. Apparently, it is part of a genre called New Adult Romance (NA Romance), which seems to be well known on Goodreads. Instead of Young Adult, we have New […]

Mediocre New Adult all hopped up on a Very Special message.

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

I’ll get this out of the way — I didn’t like this book very much. Explaining why will lead me on several tangents, so before you continue, understand that this is part review and part aimless wandering about random talking points. If you want a straightforward take on this book you’ll have to go elsewhere. I’ll be spoiling major plot points, so be forewarned of that as well. CW: ABUSE I became aware of It Ends with Us when it won the Goodreads Choice 2016 […]
