So I came into this expecting a murder case. Which sort of happened but not really. The ending was, predictable. Just, overall it felt slow and disjointed. It didn’t take long before the issues begun to show.

The first one is the chapters. Not starting on a new page isn’t really a big deal. I’ve done this. The problem is sometimes they were still in the same scene, so it was odd they were there. And the other times enough time had passed to warrant a chap...

Firstly I enjoyed reading this a lot. It promised to be a short quick romance and it was. Low on angst, high on steam. Funny in some spots. It was what it was and that was great. However, it didn’t fully deliver on what I came into it expecting.

The blurb gave me the impression that the book was about a high school crush that didn’t develop after a steamy encounter, and, how years later, the two end up back on the same team and flirtations happen. Firstly the book starts of wi...

Okay, this was another book that I really wanted to enjoy. The first chapter is okay, the characters are well-defined. It sits nicely in what you would expect for an epic fantasy and then on top of that, the villain is fun fun fun. But as I got further into the story that’s when things got odd.

The opening reads like a prologue. Lots of readers are not fans of prologues and even with this one being included in the chapter it seems like it could’ve started in present-day inst...

Okay, so I wanted to like this book. I enjoyed the first chapter. I read it without reading finishing the preview chapter because if I remember correctly I liked the blurb and just decided to say yes to this book cause fantasy is my thing. I also remember in the first take of the video I read the first paragraph of this and was like what in the entire fuck is going on (swears are coming back into my reviews cause real life me does this so… meh) Bear in mind that it’s the e...

So let’s start of by saying, generally, Alice winters makes me laugh out loud. I mean her humour is my humour. Sexual innuendos and all. I loved Happy Endings, and the sequel, have not read the third book. But they were hilarious. I’ll admit in the second book it didn’t have as much hilarious magic as the first but my favourite was the minotaur and the detective. I don’t know if they have their own series but those two deserve a spin-off...

I honestly laughed a lot reading this. At least one reviewer said it wasn’t funny. I don’t have other books by this author to compare it to so to me as a first-time for this author reader, I thought it was hilarious. That being said, this book still had enough issues for me to be able to quit halfway through. The humour was enough to keep me reading but as the plot progressed it sunk deeper and ...

I went into this book with mixed yet good expectations. I honestly don’t know why but based on the blurb and the reviews I read I felt a lot of my triggers might not be in here. To be fair some of them were but the book is still good. I wanted to finish it while I read it. It was an entertaining read and I’m glad I read this book.

Firstly I did read a book by one of these authors previously. Wasn’t a fan. Thankfully I had zero clue thi...

I went into this with a bit of hesitation. The blurb spends the first half talking about street rules. Then it explains Micha has new feelings that can’t be fulfilled by a woman and builds on that by saying he meets someone and that someone makes him question if he will continue living a lie or open up to his sexuality. I can confidently say, 51 percent into this book which landed me on chapter 15, that none of this happened.

In the prologue, apparent...

I went into this expecting something completely different. There’s a full rundown of my blurb opinion in the vlog but the impression it gives is that Rasaun likes to hit up a guy, get what he wants, and then leave. He behaves this way because of having his heart broken in freshman year of college. Then in adulthood, he meets a guy who changes things. ‘…gets a dose of his own medicine, Rasaun finally realises how much he’...

So I actually enjoyed this book. Enjoyed as in there wasn’t too much in the book that drove me so mad I wanted to walk away from it. I didn’t mind the insta love as it fit the story. I did enjoy the chemistry between them as it wasn’t over the top neither was it so subdued that it made the insta-love fail. Over all this was an okay book. Okay as in it went from for stars to a possible two but ultimately landed on three. Why who knows. I’m...
