So badly I wanted to love this book. The premise was so amazing and the ensemble of characters was great! Going into this I was hoping for something similar to Casey’s previous novel. With this one I found it hard to connect with August. While I loved the idea of her, I found the way […]
[Diane’s Review]: The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin
I’ll just start off by saying this is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read in every aspect. From the poetic atmospheric language to the sheer beauty of this story I was truly invested. Rachel has a talent with bringing the seasons to life, their very essence seeping from the pages and into […]
[Diane’s Review]: The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren
As soon as the Earth warms and the ground thaws I come out of hiding in search of a feel good romance, and THE SOULMATE EQUATION did just that. CLo knocks it out of the park again with this incredibly touching and heartfelt story of a single mom who’s just surviving with her amazing daughter […]
[Diane’s Review]: The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout
THIS BOOK WAS A RIDE SENT STRAIGHT FROM THE HEAVENS! JLA has done it again with The Crown of Gilded Bones! From the first line we’re thrown back into the depths of Atlantia and the intensity that is Poppy’s life. After chapter one I was certain this was going to be a five star read. […]
[Diane’s Review:] A Dark and Hollow Star (A Dark and Hollow Star #1) by Ashley Shuttleworth
QUEER BOOK OF THE YEAR! ALSO I NOW LIVE IN THE UNSEELIE SPRING COURT! Where to even begin?! I mean, that’s obvious, so without further ado… From the top! Ashley kicks this book off with a killer Prologue. Normally I find myself slipping during these drawling bits of info dumping, but not theirs. I was […]
[Diane’s Review]: Down Comes the Night by Allison Saft
While my expectations were high going into this book, I was rather disappointed. I found a lot of myself in Wren, especially when it came to the empathy of others, but there was something about her character that lacked a compelling need to care about her outcome. Also, a lot of medical terminology is used, […]
[Diane’s Review]: Angels’ Blood by Nalini Singh
[Insert incredibly sexy Archangel here] This was my first book by Nalini Singh and SERIOUSLY IT WILL NOT BE MY LAST!!!!!! Cue Raphael… Anytime now… Honestly, I read this book in basically a day. (No shame) The plot was compelling and full of action. And Oh… So so sexy! Elena is a fun, witty character […]
[Diane’s Review] Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell
Red, White & Royal Blue In Space!! I seriously LOVED this book! It was so cute and so sweet and filled my heart. But also, a bit like a murder mystery which I found quite fun! At some points I found myself getting frustrated with the lack of communication between Kiem and Jainan. I mean […]
