Book Reviews

This book was fantastic. I don't read many detective novels on the basis that most of them are the same, the detective has baggage that fuels their work blah blah blah. This book is different because there is no emotional ties to the case. Its the case and the pursuit of the truth and that's it. DS Cross is a fantastic character, particular in his ways but comforting because he would never betray the reader's trust. The murder itself kept unwinding throughout the book at a go

This book had some flaws, but what I can tell you is that is was not lacking plot. Dre doesn't have his life in order and neither does Trisha. Just when you think things are going well for her she just makes the same mistakes. They are both incredibly impulsive and when Dre is forced to look in the mirror only then does he actually understand that change is necessary for him to become successful. I honestly thought Trisha would have a whole character arc and become the person

Stands up and starts clapping slowly God. Damn. I didn't know I was gonna read a virus smut book but I did. It was done very tastefully, always describing around what was actually happening never outright saying it. I liked that. Sarah knows that her readers can understand context. I genuinely thought this was about an alien virus on a base on the planet mars. I have no clue where that came from because this is actually about a research base in the desert outfitted with 6 tea

This book novel is about the Baskervilles, a family long ailed by the lore of a large hound due to past family member's wrongdoings. The former head of the house Sir Charles Baskerville has seemingly passed away from the sight of a hound come to kill him, but his physician thinks there is something more to the case and now the new inheritor of the house, Henry Baskerville's life has been threatened.. There is something more to be had and Sherlock and Watson are on the case. F

This book had a lot of potential and it was squandered. The premise was interesting, take historical figures out of time and make them live in the 21st century. THATS THE COOLEST STORY EVER IF YOU DID IT RIGHT. Here's what I liked: - I liked Graham Gore. He is a stoic sailor with a desire to learn about the era he was dropped in. Curious about food and curious enough to dismantle a toilet to see how it works. -I liked that all the expats got to hang out with each other and le

This book is devastating. You get to know all the people who made the trek up the mountain, their plans and dreams after Everest and then you learn the true nature of the mountain. I will never climb a mountain myself, but this book has instilled in me respect for those that do. I can't help but feel sorry for the friends and family of those who perished nearly 30 years ago, but I also feel immense sadness for the Sherpa people. No one would be able to climb the mountain with

This book was really different from the 1st one, but I still liked it! I think these first 2 books are super set up for the future ones I think. I liked that it was more of a town like setting rather than the dungeon. I also really like that Mongo is getting big and I love that Mordecai is more of a main character. I love their little family and I am excited to see what happens next! I will say that I did take off a star bc there was much less action in this one for me person

Look, this one was better.... Plot was good mostly, I just cannot get over the whole werewolf relationship with Jake. I genuinely hate that she comes to the conclusion that she loves both of them. Clearly you love one more than the other... why are we letting this wolf man have this much power over you when you literally aren't even close to choosing him in the end? Bella is a rat for jerkin him around like that. I.. don't have many words beyond the fact that I am glad the V

I liked the ending because our narrator broke the cycle of abuse, but I felt the story was vague and confusing. We didn’t know all that much of the world around us. I felt more of the page count could have been lent to world building, we get some events of the narrator’s past but I felt that more could’ve been done to see the cause of the Water Wars and the outcome over the fight for scarce resources, how our narrator became engrained in the Convent’s beliefs, etc. - still a

Short and sweet ominous tale about superstition and traditions dictating modern life. Great read, excited to read more by this author! 4 stars

Worst book I read in 2025 hands down no contest. Unlikable characters that are not only flat and emotionless, clunky writing that leaves much to be desired. Not even worth using as kindling. 2/5 Stars

I was expecting not to like this book as I am rarely a fan of contemporary romance. However, I can say that I really enjoyed reading this book. The relationship between the two main characters grows really organically. The book starts with the two seeing each other again at a frat party and then they discuss the first time they met. They exchange numbers and it goes from there. I was rooting for them to get together the whole time.. However... SPOILER ALERT Ben having decided

I enjoyed this book a lot!  Some spoilers ahead I enjoyed how loving Edward and Abitha were towards each other. While Edward still had certain convictions with his religion, it was clear he loved his wife. I was so sad that their last interaction was an argument before he died :(. Also his brother, Wallace was the literal worst. He sucks. He got what was coming to him. Sarah really pmo in the end but I understand here going a bit crazy with all of the literal torture they put

GlURP, GLURP MOTHERFUCKER! Wowie zowie, this book was fantastic. Carl and his ex girlfriend's cat, Donut, have no choice but to enter the Dungeon after their Earth is terraformed by aliens. In doing so their fight for survival is televised to the entire universe. This book is genuinely so funny I don't know where to start. The AI having a foot fetish, the mid dungeon interviews, and Carl's genuine reactions actually made me LOL. Matt sets this book up with a ton of detail and

This book was a fucking slog. I cannot begin to explain how useless this book is to me. EDWARD WAS GONE THE WHOLE FUCKING BOOK. Whyyyyyy introduce him if you planned on ripping him away for a whole goddamned book? Bella is a rat for using Jacob as a pseudo boyfriend while he was away. HE'S 16 YEARS OLD MIND YOU. It literally only picked up once Alice showed back up and they had to go save Edward's dramatic ass. I literally had to put the series down until 2026 bc I was so mad

This book needs no introduction. I feel like I am late to the party here! I thought this book was going to be a struggle to get through, I thought I wasn't going to be into it because historically, I am not into vampires. I WAS SO WRONG. Edward and Bella are so weird with each other, the eternal cravings for each other, the yearning, the instant love, something about this book took over my whole being for a while. Is it a little juvenile? Yes. But I am incredibly good at goi

Slewfoot starts with a young puritan couple trying to make ends meet on their farm. Not too far off, an otherworldly God has awoken to destroy humanity. After a series of unfortunate events, Abitha and this Slewfoot join together to right some wrongs, and wrong some rights. This book's plot is to constantly beat Abitha down and while I understood the rage felt at the end of the book, I don't appreciate the method to get Abitha her elemental powers. Throughout this book it is

George Orwell is fantastic at taking real life political climates and creating a story that exudes the issues at hand without directly speaking on the climate itself. This book was 94 pages and for all 94 pages I was having a whole internal conniption because the plot is so similar to the issues at hand in The United States circa 2025. I wanted to vomit this book made me so uncomfortable in a good way. 5 Stars

OH BOY. Let me tell you, this book starts off with a bang!! The Low Probability Event that happens within this book was absurd and genuinely so fun to read. This book centers around our main character, Vera, who is a professor on the topic of probability. She ends up on a wild adventure trying to track down where these insane events are stemming from and along the way discovers herself again. This book is a horror book in the way that if this stuff actually did happen, it wou
