This was mildly interesting but there were just too much teenaged angst and too many YA tropes for me to enjoy it. DNF at 25%Audiobook, borrowed from my public library via overdrive.
Initial reaction: Highly engaging and original story. Probably one of my favorite vampire stories. 4.5 stars overall.Full review:I remember back in 2016 when I first read Silvia Moreno-Garcia's "Certain Dark Things" that I was blown away by how rich the writing, worldbuilding, and characterization w...
So, on the plus side, despite serious RL interventions progress on my card is well under way, with four squares (including the centre / free / raven square) marked "called and read"; three of these in a row -- plus reading for the remaining two squares of that row also in progress -- and several mor...
Disclaimer: I won a signed copy of this book on a Twitter giveaway. I recently read a collection of essays by author’s where they highlighted their favorite independent bookstore in North America; however, with the exception of two books, all the books where from the US. There was no mention of a bo...
*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. P.J. Ochlan is a new narrator for me. It took me a few chapters to get use to his proper feel to the words, as is expected with the style of the time our characters are in. I do very much like his sound...
My first DNF of the year. There's really nothing wrong with this book, it just isn't for me. I got about half way through, but had failed to be interested by enough of this novel's characters or anything in the plot. I thought the chapters from the cop's POV were fairly interesting, but not enoug...
This really felt like two separate books to me. In one timeline you have the story of Meche's youth. There are coming of age themes, growing pains, and puppy love, all mixed together with a plot that felt like that old movie The Craft - magic becomes a stand in for power and it turns ugly. It was de...
*I received an ecopy through Good reads First Reads, this does not affect my review in any way*This is a alternate historical romance with a dash of fantasy thrown in. I really enjoyed reading this one, and the characters were all unique. This story was very character driven, but I didn't find it du...
Signal to Noise is an all-to-realistic piece of magical realism. It took me quite awhile to actually get to starting this book, languishing on my to-read list for over a year. So I made a deliberate choice to include it as a book club pick and read it, hence it's place as my February read. While ...
I'm not widely read on vampires but I think this is an original book, I particularly liked that there are different breeds of vampires and that the romance is just a subplot (thankfully, because it’s plain boring). The Mexico City setting, the Aztec mythology and the whole narcos-vampire combo also ...
