They almost kissed…but then they didn’t. I get impatient with will they/won’t they, but I’ll keep going for now. I like the characters. The editing continues to be a problem—did Cass not have anyone read this?

There’s even an editing error in the blurb! The characters are engaging but there are way too many editing and grammar errors in this already

Two old queens infatuated with a bit of rough trade should seem more fabulous/sordid than this. Overall, this story is proving pretty tedious

Welp, here’s that louche atmosphere and gay agenda I was wondering about

This is all fine, but I’m impatient for the lurid gay hijinx to commence

So far really appreciating the quality character work we’ve come to expect from Weir /s

This reminds me a bit of T Kingfisher (quippy) but it needs better editing

Returning to this series after a gap of years, and there’s already been an unsexy sex scene. Feyre still seems to be a peasant at base.

I’m definitely enjoying this but I must note that this is AN EIGHTEEN DOLLAR EBOOK. It BETTER be enjoyable.

What in the OCR happened to this text?

Finally getting to the actual poem

I only started this because an Obama book rec coincided with a kindle deal. So, you know, thanks, Obama.

That catfight in the florist’s shop made Anne look like an asshole along with the lady she was chewing out. All the brand name dropping is stilted and awkward. I really loved LOSER OF THE YEAR but this seems like it was written by someone else. I like that the women are older, but I don’t know that I like it enough to put up with Anne’s bad personality for a whole book

This is certainly taking its time getting going. I’m really not getting the sense that these women were exemplary thieves in their youth, so I’m dubious about their chances as septuagenarians. There are so many books now about old people either doing or solving crimes, but the Osman books seem to be the only good ones.

Ok, pegging. It was okay. I might not need to read any more of this.

The only reason I’m reading this is the promise of PEGGING but instead I’m getting relationship and feelings. Oh, and sex in a fireworks stand imminently, but I don’t anticipate pegs there.

Oh thank god there’s finally a murder investigation underway because the lesbianism on offer is not engaging

Oh thank god there’s finally a murder mystery underway because the lesbianism on offer is not engaging

Wow. This sure is long.

I’m reading this for the presumed train wreck. Already, there is too much egregious poetry.

What is this book even about? Serial killers? Unsubstantiated theories about lead poisoning? The author’s unhappy childhood? A plethora of Washington State bridges? I don’t think I’m going to finish this one

“The other man” and then “the other man” and still “the other man” yet again. Every time I’m screaming in my heart. I don’t know if I can get through this sex scene, much less the whole book

This is my first Heyer and it's not what I expected. Per the reviews, this might be the *worst* Heyer, and that tracks. Not loving it.

So far, this is lacking in any depth, which makes it dull for me.

So far, neither romantic nor comedic.

This is tedious. I'm not in a wine-y book club, so why am I reading this? Unclear whether I will finish.

OMG this is the second romance novel I've started, only to realize it's 1D fanfic. It's written with 5 characters--the main 2 guys, and the other 3, who are stuck to them like limpets/unlike real human men. Ugh. I doubt I'll finish this.

With its Venetian-flavored world, this reminds me a little of LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA, my all-time favorite fantasy-caper

This is fine, except I really wanted to read a story about an excellent bouncer and his club-related adventures, but this is ex-Special Forces doing lavish crimes, and I don't actually care about that.

I think this is just not my author.
