Continuing my New Year’s historical fiction binge, I decided that Turner #1 was enjoyable enough to read the rest of the Turner series, and did so in fairly short order – about a week, I believe. Unlocked is book #1.5, strictly speaking a novella and a quick, fairly enjoyable read. Unlocked takes a helpful but dimly-painted secondary character from another book in the series (her major feature in her first appearance appears to be her spinsterhood and to be honest was so forgettable that I […]
The Bleakest PNR I’ve Ever Read
This review is for the audiobook version of Working Stiff by Rachel Caine, the first in the Revivalist series. Bryn Davis was killed on her first day at her new job as a funeral director after discovering that her new boss was selling a black market drug that could bring the dead back to life. After receiving a dose of the top secret drug she joins forces with the team trying to keep it out of the wrong hands. There’s the expected skulking around, spy […]
A fast-paced middle book that doesn’t suffer from Middle Book Syndrome
This is the second in a series, so obviously some spoilers for the first book are going to be mentioned. For my review of the first book, The Darkest Minds, go here. Never Fade picks up six months after the events of the first book. Ruby has joined The Children’s League and has been training with them. She’s learned to control her abilities, and to fight and defend herself as well. She goes out on missions for the League, while also trying to find a way to […]
The heart wants what it wants
This is the third book in the Daring Hearts series, and for a change I actually have read the first two books in the series. The summary on Amazon is as follows: For most her life, Lady Talia Hall has been dreaming of the day James Forester will take her in his arms and kiss her with unrestrained passion. Tired of waiting, Talia decides to take drastic measures to make James see her as more than his best friend’s little sister. But her bold plan […]
My Last Chance to Feel Human
I’m not sure how to review this book. For those who don’t know (am I the only one who never had to read this in high school?), the first half is an account of Frankl’s time in concentration camps during World War II, while the second half discusses in more detail the psychotherapy that Frankl developed, logotherapy. And now that I’ve summarized it, I still don’t know how to proceed from here. I don’t think this book can be reviewed in the traditional sense–I certainly don’t want […]
I am so glad I read the Wild Seasons series first
Beautiful Bastard: 2. 5 stars Beautiful Bitch: 3.5 stars Combined rating: 3 stars Chloe Mills only has a few months left of studying for her MBA, working as an intern for perfectionist business prodigy Bennett Ryan. She gets along famously with his father, the founder of the company and his older brother, but she pretty much detests her boss and he seems to delight in finding fault with everything she does and says, demanding almost impossible things from her. But behind their seemingly mutual loathing, […]
