There is Such a Thing as Having TOO MUCH of a Type!

Lord of Eternal Night by Ben Alderson

July 20, 2023 by Sarah 2 Comments

Okay, so, full disclosure: I’m trying to burn through my Kindle Unlimited backlog list, because I’m cancelling my subscription next month, because I hate a price hike. (The new fees system also charges readers more to pay authors less, which is corporate greed at its finest. But, theoretically, this review isn’t supposed to be my Rant About the Evils of Capitalism, but I digress). Lord of Eternal Night is your typical monster-y romance: ingenue protagonist gets sacrificed to the monster, finds out they’re not so monsterous after all, […]

“The Chicken Basket,” Peter announced. “The sheep bucket,” Caleb declared promptly. “What game is this?”

Whoops, just realized I never wrote a review of this and I’m starting book three today, so I need to get this done before my brain starts mixing things up. I don’t have much to say about this even though I gave it five stars. I basically just want to say “This was a perfect romance novella” and call it a day. But I have to reach 250 words to count on this here Cannonball Read so I will keep going. This is historical fiction novella set […]

Mostly a miss for me.

Best Men by Sidney Karger

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. First of all, I would like to say that “himbo” was absolutely 100% not a thing in the year 2003, so I hope some copy or line-editor catches that before this book goes to print. And no, don’t argue with me that it was first used in the 1980s (1988 specifically) and uses of it date from then, but it was absolutely not a term that anyone who was […]

“Sometimes Paris felt his whole life was in slow motion with ominous music playing over it.”

Paris Daillencourt is About to Crumble (Winner Bakes All, #2) by Alexis Hall

December 30, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

I don’t think this is a book anybody but Alexis Hall could have pulled off. This is a romance and a book about a baking competition, yes, but it’s also a book about a person with severe anxiety, and what that anxiety does to his relationships with the people around him. Paris isn’t an easy character to like, and his story isn’t an easy ride. But it was worth it! Paris Daillencourt ends up on Bake Expectations because his flatmate secretly put him up for […]

“A werewolf is courting me with a dead rabbit. There’s nothing subtle here.”

Wolfsong (Green Creek, #1) by T.J. Klune

So I’ve had this book on my TBR for a while, even before Klune got a traditional publishing deal and the The House in the Cerulean Sea broke out, but I didn’t bite the bullet and actually decide to read it until I saw that this gorgeous edition was being released in September 2022. I did end up ordering the Waterstones edition with the gorgeous sprayed edges, and I have no regrets (except for when my copy arrived completely ruined from water damage, but they […]

Spare yourself the disappointment, folks.

Meet Cute Club (Sweet Rose, #1) by Jack Harbon

This did not make for a good reading experience. The only reason I’m not rating it one star is because there was nothing egregiously wrong with it, and because I didn’t hate it. Not exactly a lot going for it if that’s the best I have to say. This had an extremely cute-sounding plot, but the book was the opposite of cute. I honestly think this might be the most poorly written self-published book I’ve ever read, and I’ve read a lot because of my […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
