On hoopla. The book has potential but the narrator is dreadful. I appreciate that she is changing her voice for each character the voice to listen to

I really enjoyed the book the southern book club's guide to slang vampires. I'm not enjoying this one as much unfortunately. The characters are all angry, as they should be considering the time period it's set in. Unfortunately it's making me angry and it's not what I'm looking for in a book right now.

End of chapter 68

Chapter 5: great book jacket art. Awesome book title. Just cannot seem to stay focused or interested in this book. Maybe some other time

Chapter 23: this book is incredibly frustrating. It's written well and I'm sure some people love stores like this. I'm almost halfway through the book ands it's one misunderstanding after another; the main character continues to make excuses for everyone when things go wrong. I am done.

This book is amazing and also incredibly painful to read. The action and intensity remain high but it drags on for so long you start skipping sections just to get back to the storyline. There is absolutely no need to harp on every little thing. This author's got a great thing going but they need to clean up their writing and streamline this

The book was improving. Improving so much that I forgot that I was getting frustrated with the book. And here we are again. And drawn out tedious fight scene. Describe every single blow, every single role, every single turn. I don't care who dies now. It's going on too long

This may be the last book I read in this series. There's never any resolution. As soon as one problem seems to be resolved, there's another one. The suspense is never ending and I just cannot live on the edge of my seat constantly. I will get to the point where I don't care if all the characters die or live

Just like the first book, the final battle scene is going on way too long. Maintaining this intensity is impossible. I no longer care whether or not everyone lives or dies, I just want this to be over.

I don't mind when the author withholds information that can be obvious and allows us to use our brains to figure it out. However I don't appreciate the way this author refers to information as if they've already given it to us and makes this assumption. Some of this information isn't obvious. It feels like an editor hacked at this book sometimes

Don't get me wrong, I really do like this book series. With that said, I wish the author would dedicate more words to investigating grace's questions about the various supernatural species she encounters and herself and fewer words to the setting, the walls, the floor and general description of the space and repeating previously stated feelings and observations.

The fight scenes drag on too long. This book is longer than it needs to be. It gave me lots of time to figure out what was going to happen so nothing is surprising at this point.

Into chapter 11. I'm so annoyed. It's a lot like the Next Mrs. Parish but not as good.

1 hour 30 minutes chapter 5, nope, I'm done dnf

Not for me

03:05:01 aka 6 minutes into Chapter 11

I wish these books were written better. The Mercy series is much better. Also be aware that this narrator does a lot of voices and some of them are difficult to understand.

This book, like the last one, is more a compilation of stories about various characters loosely tied together by a thin plot. Currently I've been in one story for so long that I'm not sure what the main plot of the book is at the moment. I understand the desire to publish the shorts that add to the universe the author created. I'm just not sure this is the best way to do it.

Read this first chapter 4 times. Still not sticking. DNF

Please end soon

Disappointing so far

Chapter 9 I don't like the Adam chapters. They are difficult to follow and not as much fun to read. I prefer from Mercys point of view written in first person

I have not enjoyed reading this book. I know violence to children happens and I will fight against anyone harming a child. I do not like reading about it. This is self inflicted torture and I would have abandoned this book long ago if it weren't for a book club I'm leading. I'm pleased to say the book has finally taken a turn and isn't making me want to vomit right now.

I don't like reading books with violence to children. This one is especially rough being historical fiction.

I loathe books that do this. I know more than the characters so I have to painfully read/wade through the book as they dole out information slowly. I'm hoping I'm wrong. Maybe something will happen. This is the third book like this for me in as many months. I'm only continuing to read because it's for book club.

Just started chapter 5. Seriously slow book. I like this author so I had high hopes. Dashed. I just don't care what happens. It's taking too long to setup the book premise.

I still really don't like this writing style. I think the plot line might be good and the writing is technically good too. I don't like the style she's employed of constantly referring to something she will know in the future. It's getting tiresome and it's already very confusing. Not worth the headache.

I don't like the writing style so far. It's like experiencing literature whiplash. Back-and-forth and back-and-forth. I'm having a hard time following the plot. I've already started over twice

First, it really sucks that you can't get this book as an audio download in Libby and only on Audible. Second, it's like there was a giant time jump from the last book to this one. I keep checking to see if I skipped a book. Weird.

Interesting enough but it's dragging now. It doesn't feel like it's going to have a climactic moment. More of an anticlimactic moment of relief.
