Gee, thanks for hitting me with a rock of emotions!

The Sea in You by Jessi Sheron

August 24, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Sadly, I hated the ending of The Sea in You. And the boyfriend deserved more than a punch in the jaw (I’m with Skylla, hit him with a rock)! I start my review out with such strong feelings because that is what this originally webcomic now full book (but I read via an online reader copy on Edelweiss) did to me. Gave me strong feelings. I had all the emotions from liking Corinth to not liking her to liking her… ; from liking Skylla to […]

January 6, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Picture books are my current go-to as they make me happy. They are quick, usually fun, and you can say, “By George the Third! I have finished a book!” And that sense of accomplishment is a real mood booster! However, I read a book that gave me the “I finished a book feeling” but also had a “That was not what I needed” feeling as well. I will start with the negatives of Mermaid and Pirate. This picture book has some bumps with the flow […]
