Review: Protect the Seed

Protect the Seed by Erosa Knowles
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Interracial Romance A to Z Challenge: P

I think I would have enjoyed this more if the characters (all of them) had even an ounce of personality. Everyone was so cookie-cutter/one dimensional that even the main characters were boring. And the writing was both too expository and descriptive for the suspense elements of the story. It was actually too descriptive overall because there were entire paragraphs that had nothing to do with the story. We don't need to see every part of the character's every day lives. We only need that information if it furthers the plot or the character's growth. And there wasn't any character growth because everyone was Gary Stu and Mary Sue.

Despite the bland characters, I will probably check out the rest of the trilogy because I want to see what happens next. Don't hold me to that, though.

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...
