Review: Lord Tophet

Lord Tophet by Gregory Frost
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A very enchanting conclusion to an awesome adventure.

Some books just grab hold and don't let go. We can't always explain why the images the words create make us feel the way they do, and that's okay. I believe that there are some stories that are meant to be felt; and a book about a storyteller creating such emotions for her audience is very fitting.

I felt this book. I felt Leodora wanting to be whole, to be loved, to have the things that have eluded her all of her life. Because underneath it all, she's just a girl. I felt Diverus feeling free enough, after a lifetime of slavery, to make his own choices. To love Leodora to the point of worship. I felt Soter grapple with his guilt for all of the things denied Leodora. I felt that he loved her and protected her the best way he knew how.

My journey with them was amazing and I am content.

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

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
