Review: Silent in the Grave

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 oblivion because there are at least 8 other books in the series.

And with this, I have completed my Popsugar Reading Challenge of 2019. Yay, me!

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: The Dark Tide

The Dark Tide by Josh Lanyon My rating: 5 of 5 stars I could not have asked for a better ending. I am content. And so sad that it's over. I am a burrito of sadness. View all my reviews

Review: Icecapade

Icecapade by Josh Lanyon My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was cute. Something about their shared loneliness, despite their chosen paths in life, made it deeper for me. View all my reviews
