#PopsugarReadingChallenge2019
Prompt - A book inspired by mythology, legend, or folklore: Greek and Celtic Mythology.

I've had this book and a few others by this author on the TBR for years but hadn't gotten to them, and I'm honestly kicking myself for that right now because this was awesome. This was everything I love about UF/PR done extremely well.

It was a lot, and there were times where the characters did something that annoyed me or seemed a stereotypical trope for the genre, but this was so well thought out that those behaviors were explained. That is awesome. I can't even fully explain how well thought out this was because it ties directly into the plot and progression of the story. But, trust me, it was great. The writing was kind of clunky in parts and repetitive in others, but I liked the story so much that I'm willing to overlook it. Yes, you read that correctly. Me, Mrs Rip Your Prose Apart, is willing to overlook something.

I was engaged from the start and only put it down when I had to be a responsible adult. Unfortunately, the author has seemed to vanish back into real life and there haven't been any subsequent series or other works to sink into, so I'm extra thankful that I got to read this and still have a few other stories from her.

Happy reading!

Review: Dirty Money

Dirty Money by Liliana Hart My rating: 5 of 5 stars This really wasn't long enough. The story stops at 88% for some reason, but fine. I'll accept that because it was awesome! The stakes were extremely high this time around after the cliffhanger in the last book. I'm happy that Jack and Jaye are evolving as a married couple while dealing with old ghosts. This book wrapped up a 4-book story arc, and while it feels like a good place to end, I hope that it doesn't. View all my reviews

Review: Silent in the Grave

Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn My rating: 2 of 5 stars #PopsugarReadingChallenge2019 Prompt - a book recommended by a celebrity you admire: The incomparable Felicia Day (actress, author, all around good egg) rated this 5 stars in her active Goodreads library. ...and I won't hold it against her. Once upon a time, Modern Millie travelled back in time and did a bunch of things that were not possible for women during the Victorian era. Along the way, she met an android disguised as a human that could slice and dice and speak every language. He also had a superpower: to annoy this particular reader to the point of pain. Literal pain, mind you. I rolled my eyes so hard and often that I gave myself a headache. Together, they set out to alternately annoy and bore the shit out of me, as it was also her superpower; and solve a murder that I, myself, solved before 40% of the book had been read. Unfortunately, they survived to annoy and angst me into...
