3 Stars I couldn't really get into this book. It read like I should know things that I just didn't already know. The title lead me to believe it was a part of a world but not a next in series if that makes sense. Basically, a stand-alone set in the same town or place... Continue Reading →

3 Stars This wasn’t a bad story. The pacing was fine. The characters were somewhat developed. There was a lot of potential here. The writing itself was also good. But there were a few things about it that took me a bit out of the story. Firstly I couldn’t really get into the two main... Continue Reading →

4 Stars This was definitely an enjoyable read. Like fun from the beginning to the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The best thing about it was that it ended up not actually being a slow burn but more of a medium burn. Initially, I was on the fence because it started off with the usual... Continue Reading →

2 Stars The story started off interestingly. The prologue is titled preface but that’s nothing major. It was actually good in the sense that it sets up the idea of taking souls and basically leaving the populace as mindless, submissive drones. It’s after this that the story starts to dip a bit. Firstly the intros... Continue Reading →

4 Stars This story started off okay. I was definitely enjoying it for a while. The characters got short yet informative intros, so it was easy to know who everyone was. It was clear there would be fantasy elements but without the disbelief angle associated with it. Nothing like reading a book where the main... Continue Reading →

3 Stars This collection of short stories was interesting. It wasn’t what I expected really. As the blurb suggest I was expecting it to be about second looks. Taking the same information and it being completely about something else, but the stories kind of read like a regular story would. Especially the final story. The... Continue Reading →

3 Stars I started this book thinking I'd really be into it. Definitely one of the stronger openings I've read. The action was great, the world was interesting. The characters were okay. It was looking like an easy 4.5 stars. Unfortunately, the deeper I got into it, the more sighs and headshakes occurred. For a... Continue Reading →

3 Stars This was a fun read. I honestly almost enjoyed it. It seemed like, after the prologue, that it was going somewhere but then it sorta didn't. I kept waiting for the story to move somewhere but didn't get that feeling of actually learning something or that 'take away from reading this' feeling. Firstly... Continue Reading →

5 Stars This one was a tough review. Mostly because I had a lot of negative reactions to it. But I'm giving it five stars all the same. I toyed with two stars but this one gets a pass even with my negative reaction to it. Firstly I love the world this book is set... Continue Reading →

3 Stars This was a fun story. I did enjoy it and as far as humour goes, I laughed. A lot. But it was the mystery angle. Something about the clues that weren't really clues. Like every time information was supposed to be received nothing knew was actually garnered. The only real clue was the... Continue Reading →
