When I Kill You by B.A. Paris

When I Kill You by B.A. Paris

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review.  I have to say that parts of this story didn’t really work such as the unknown narrator ending each excerpt with ‘when I kill you’, and the lack of chemistry between Nell and Alex. That said, I couldn’t put it down. I won’t lie though, I started to just skim the excerpts by the unknown narrator because I was tired of them. When I Kill You follows a woman […]

The Kill Clause by Lisa Unger

The Kill Clause by Lisa Unger

This was a seasonal mystery/murder novella that I have to say really didn’t land well. Give me a story about assassins’ with a Christmas twist I said. Well it just fell short. I think Unger can do really in your face endings and I think that she could have went there with this one. The ending was wholly unrealistic though which is the main reason why I gave this 3 stars. The Kill Clause follows Paige. Paige we find out is an assassin (think Black Widow) […]

Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher

I thought this was a great showing by T. Kingfisher though the beginning of the book moved a bit too slow and was really surprised this was pushed as horror, I mainly got cozy vibes while reading it (that is not a bad thing). I do hope that we get to see these characters in future works, I loved Selena, Copper, Grandma Billy, Father Aguirre, etc. Snake-Eater follows Selena who we find has left her long-term partner with her dog Copper and a few of her […]

Once and Again by Rebecca Serle

Please note that I read this book via NetGalley. This does not affect my rating or review. Honestly not too much to say about this. It’s typical Serle at this point. Magical realism with no explanation, a character does a major betrayal, the book eventually gets to an ending. I was more intrigued on the premise of this one (at a baby’s birth in this family, a ticket appears that allows them to go back to a point in time and change things) but it […]

One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune

So, I did not like the first book in this series at all. I was frankly…horrified by the reveal and even the ending. Maybe because I thought the character of Charlie was treated like the bad guy, but I honestly felt like he was the only one who saw Percy for who she was and what she could offer. Do not get me started on Sam’s mess. Now in book #2, it’s a few years after Sam and Percy have married, and this is finally […]

This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune

This Summer Will be Different by Carley Fortune

by Leave a Comment

Honestly it wasn’t a bad book, just beyond boring. I think I would have liked this more if Fortune had dealt with the insane amount of codependency the lead character (Lucy) had with her best friend (Bridget). I also won’t lie, with how Lucy and Bridget were both acting, I kept thinking we may get best friends declaring they were in love with each other at some point. It just felt off-putting that Lucy really seemed to have no idea how to live her life […]
