Pretty Dead Things
Painful to get through. Could’ve been a good story but it drug on. The last 30 pages or so were interesting. I will not be recommending it.
The last time I lied
I had high expectations and they were met. I loved reading this summer camp theme at the end of summer. Kept me guessing and such an interesting combo of details: painter, camp, old money, asylum… Riley does it again & I can’t wait to read more of his.
Four
I enjoyed some of the backstory of Tobias/Four but somewhat think these could have been added as bonus chapters to the individual stories instead of separate short stories.
Allegiant
I read this book initially like 10+ years ago. And I\’m not sure what was happening in my life at that point, pregnancy brain maybe? But re-reading this was like reading it for the first time. I forgot everything that happened in this book. Maybe denial? People died that I thought lived and this was a true out of body reading experience for me. Still loved it and makes me look forward to the new books she is releasing soon!!
Queen of Shadows
Getting to reread this book was a blessing. SJM is one of the most talented writers in my lifetime honestly. Some of the big parts hit bigger on a reread! Not giving anything away in my review… but AHHHHH so good.
Carl’s Doomsday Scenario
Well…I would kill for Princess Donut at this point. I love her so much. She\’s one of the funniest characters I\’ve ever read about and cannot wait to keep reading this series.
The last sunrise
I enjoyed the setting. The characters’ personalities fell flat and the relationship between Ry and Julián seemed very unrealistic – dramatic and fast paced. I just found out there is a series for this book on Prime, so I will be watching that to see if I like it more.
Summer Island
My first Kristen Hannah book. The premise sounded really good but the characters and plot felt flat. Just ok.
The Calamity Club
I couldn’t believe how a book this long could keep me at the edge of my sit. I couldn’t wait to keep getting back to it!
Our Last Resort
Had potential but not executed well. Both the story in present day and in the past could have been more detailed. I would not recommend.
Project Hail Mary
Wow i did not think i would like science fiction…this is amazing. So much depth so much science but i understand. I dont knoe how i do but i do. It pulled out the knoledge i forgot about chemistry, biology, and environmental science. It does the unimaginable.
The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
If you like love magic the gathering, yugioo. You\’ll love the set up of this one…. I do not like the card aspect. But the flash backs are amazing to get to know Carl. I need to know Samanthas Deal… So much to learn
