I'm not a romance girlie, but I thought I would take a chance because this book got so many good reviews. Well, I am glad that I read it. I enjoyed this book immensely. It was very satisfying.

Minus one star for the main character being too righteous.

3.5 stars. Rounded down for a main character's death.

I absolutely love Jennifer Hillier's books!

2.5 stars. This was a hard one to get through. If I didn't have the audio this definitely would have been a DNF.

This book was hilarious! The queen of twists doesn't again!! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book.

Engaging and fun! Very twisty! I will definitely read more books by this author.

3.5 stars. Rounded down for the confusing and ridiculous ending. I was with this book all the way to the end. I got totally lost with the supernatural elements that came in at the end. Black life is scary enough without adding the supernatural.

No stars and no words for this urban fantasy. I will never read another JaQuavis Coleman book again.

A must-listen!! I was locked in from the very beginning. I could not stop listening until the end!

I almost didn't finish! The only reason I finished this book was because I was listening on audio. The plot was convoluted and impossible!

Good book! I give it five stars because I did not see the twist coming until the end.

Horribly sad..profoundly thought provoking.

This hit different as an adult.

I am giving this installation of the D.D. Warren series four stars because I felt the plot was a little outlandish. However, it was a very enjoyable read, making me sad towards the end.

Gross. This was my first time reading a graphic novel, and I probably won't read another.

I really love Lisa Gardner's romance crime novels. I am also amazed by the level of creativity it takes to weave such complicated whodunits. I enjoy reading her books very much because I am a sucker for a happy ending.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved reading about Tessa Leoni's origin story. It made me like her character even more. D. D. Warren however not so much. D. D. is not a good detective in my eyes. She was outsmarted at every turn in this book, however I will extend some grace as she was going through some personal issues of her own. I really enjoy reading the Tessa Leoni series and I hope there is more to come.

Totally loved this book! Lisa Gardner might be my new favorite author. This book is a complex read that will keep you engaged to the very end. Complete with an unreliable narrator!

Predictable but thoroughly enjoyable!

Whew! What a story. I am so glad that is over. I wouldn't say I liked this book, nor did I enjoy reading it, but I endured it to the end because I wanted to see what would happen with Marcos and the pregnant female. This book was challenging for me to read because it had a lot of drawn-out narration and not much dialogue. It is told from a third-person perspective. The reader experiences this dystopian society through the eyes of the main male character. He is dealing with a loss and is questioning what society has become after The Transition. I was with Marcos until he started raping the female head he received as a gift. Then, when she fell pregnant, I really thought the author was doing too much. The protagonist turns out to be the anti-hero, and the author leaves the readers hanging.

I gave this book five stars because I really loved the character Fern. I don't read many books in which I enjoyed getting to know the character as much as this one.

This short story is a part of the Will Trent series, and I enjoyed it very much. I listened to it in audiobook format, and it was narrated very well.

I am on vacation, and I was looking for a domestic thriller to lose myself in for a little while. I read the reviews for this book and was excited to read it. I started out listening to the audio but switched to the printed format to pay better attention. After finishing this book, I wished I had stuck with the audio version because at least that one was free. This book's premise is that an unreliable narrator is trying to find out why she ended up in a hospital in a coma. We go back and forth through time as the character tries to figure out what happened. The author accomplishes this by telling the story in the present, the recent past, and the not so recent past. The not so recent past is relayed to us through a series of journal entries. This would not have been so bad, but then we find out that the character's sister writes the journal entries. So as you can imagine, this flips the whole narrative on its head. Not only do we have an unreliable narrator, but we also have a crazy one who, as an adult, is still engaging with a childhood imaginary friend. If this isn't enough, we have some sort of subplot happening that a jilted college lover is stalking our main character from almost two decades ago. It really is all too much. The plot is unbelievable, and the storytelling is way too convoluted, and this author is pretentious and thinks way too highly of their writing abilities. I still rate the book a solid three stars because the sheer ridiculousness of it kept me inside my hotel room all day long.

Indelible book #4 in the Grant County series has been my least favorite. In Karen Slaughter's style, the book opens up, and almost immediately, we are thrust into the action when armed bandits invade the police station of Grant County. She takes us on a journey to the past, explaining how Jefferey and Sara's love story began. I didn't find it much of a love story. Jefferey is the town playboy and a reformed bad boy. It is almost annoying because it is a trope of the good girl falling in love with the bad boy.
