Review: The Favorite Sister

The Favorite Sister by Jessica Knoll
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

All of the no that ever no'd.

One dimensional characters that are impossible to like and/or root for, repetitive writing, purposely confusing prose that adds absolutely nothing to the story and, in fact, makes you not care at all what is happening because you're too goddamn confused.

This trend of writing contemporary mysteries with unreliable narrators and this oh, my God, you'll never see this twist coming tagline is beyond annoying. Mainly because you know the twist pretty much from the start. Stop telling the twist and let it unfold naturally, please. Just write a solid mystery. Please! That's all I ask.

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...

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
