FEBRUARY FLOPS (2023)
February was a short month, so just one flop! There were a couple books I put on the DNF (did-not-finish) list for now: Who Killed My Daughter? by Lois Duncan & Ghetto X by Martin Michaud. 33th read: If He Had Been With Me I was going to give this book 3/5 stars until I…

35th read: The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
I admit to avoiding this book because it seemed too mainstream. It showed up on my social media feeds too often, nagging at me. This always makes me apprehensive. I was wrong to avoid this one. It wasn’t what I expected at all. TITLE: The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo AUTHOR: Taylor Jenkins Reid Released:…

34th read: Ashes
This book is technically part of a series, but you don’t need to read the previous ones to understand the plot. It’s the same universe, but different characters. Check out my review for Torment: Part One & Torment: Part Two (the first two books in The Bleeding Hearts series) if you’re curious. TITLE: Ashes AUTHOR:…

31th read: The Chrysalids
I found this book for free in the public domain, so I had low expectations. I was wrong, once again! The synopsis was too short to give a glimpse of the plot. I threw it in the background while playing Stardew Valley, but quickly grew too distracted to play. What a happy surprise. TITLE: The…

30th read: Torment: Part Two
You might want to read my review for Torment: Part One first. Don’t read this one if you don’t like disturbing books. The first book made me anxious, but this one made me RAGE. I’ll be shaken up for a little while. TITLE: Torment: Part Two AUTHOR: Dylan Page Released: 2021 Format: Kindle Pages: 324…

29th read: Torment: Part One
Don’t read this one if you don’t like disturbing books. THANK YOU to Jana for the recommendation, once again. I trust her exquisite taste & will read every book she throws my way. It’s been a while since a book has made me feel this unsettled, especially romance. I loved it. Make sure to read…

28th read: The Surgeon’s Daughter
You might want to read last month’s review of The Girl in his Shadow (Nora Beady #1) before this one! I almost gave this book 3 stars for the slow beginning, but changed my mind in the second half when everything came together. Googling around revealed that Audrey Blake (the co-authors) have an outline for…

27th read: Losers: Part 2
You are heading into NSFW territory again. You’ve been warned. You might want to read my reviews for The Dare & Losers: Part 1 before this one! This is the last instalment in the Losers series. I’m a little sad to let it go, but I know Harley Laroux has written other books. There will…
