To say I wasn’t grinning like a loon while reading this book would be a bold faced lie! I had such a fun time with this book not just in the banter between the characters, but the romance and the growth of each woman individually. Noah felt so relatable to me, as my confidence in […]
After finishing this one, I definitely rescind part of my criticism from my first review about being a bit grossed out by a male character taking over a female character. I still am not a fan and wished it was a Shepherd Queen instead of King, but knowing the Shepherd King felt like a father […]
Wow! Why did I not read this sooner because this book is so good?! I absolutely loved this first book in The Shepherd King series and have already started the second one. The world-building and magic system is probably my favorite part. The whole idea of Providence Cards that give the person magic, but each […]
I’m always surprised when authors can pack so much into such small books, and Nnedi Okorafor is no exception. The book opens with a bang right away of AO killing men at the market who were beating her because she has many augmentations. Something AO has dealt with her whole life is people looking at […]
Maybe I’m just not educated enough in art techniques or history to understand, but I wasn’t a fan of the drawings from this book. They weren’t necessarily bad, it was just nothing that blew me away. At times I was more frustrated than anything else trying to read the text with all the colors in […]
Wow! I’m shocked I hadn’t heard of this or read it before today because it’s right up my alley. I was pulled into all of this as soon as I read the “Fragment” prologue about god writing when he was happy and furious and then when he was really in a bad mood, he smashed […]
I definitely expected this to be a 4 or 5 star read as I usually rate Ashley Herring Blake’s books that high. But this one was a miss for me. I’m unsure what it was, whether it was the second-chance romance aspect or the holiday setting, but something was just not clicking. For the story […]
Started the year with an Andrew Joseph White book and finishing it with one, wish I had read this sooner too! I was completely hooked by this book. Andrew Joseph White is definitely an auto-buy author for me. He writes such compelling plots with beautiful characters that I can’t help but fall in love with. […]
I was really excited to read this book! It’s been on my TBR for a while and when I first read the summary (after seeing the beautiful cover), I was ready to jump into the book. When I went to the library a few weeks ago and saw it, I knew I had to check […]
I always have a hesitation on memoirs (don’t ask me why), so it’s interesting that I’ve read two memoirs in the past two-ish months and both were 5 star reads. I might have to rethink my stand on memoir’s! This was definitely a difficult book to read at times due to my own abuse from […]
