You Will Never Be Me by Jesse Q. Sutanto

I love this book but as I post this review, I need to soft DNF. My head isn't in the right mental place for me to keep reading it. I will be picking it back up as soon as I can. 

Thank you, NetGalley

Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide by Rupert Holmes

1.0

I wanted to love this book because I loved the premise of the book. I just couldn't get into the writing at all and I did try.  I could see why people love it but it just wasn't for me. 

Thank you, Netgalley for letting me give my honest review.

The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder by C.L. Miller

2.0

I hate that I had to DNF this book halfway through because I got so bored. There was a lot of telling but there was no show. What I did like about it was all the antique talk. I will probably pick up more books from C.L. Miller.

To Kill a Shadow by Katherine Quinn

2.0

I wanted to get into this but I didn't vibe with the writing. I liked the plot but the execution fell a little flat again. I might try some other books by Katherine Quinn at another time.

I want to say this was a fun and cute read, it's still a five-star read for me but some of the diversity seemed focused to me. I loved all the characters but I have to say the side characters have to be my favorite. I would love a book about them, especially the grumpy old man Henry Dale and Rowen because I loved the grandpa and grandkid vibe. I have a few more books by  Ann Aguirre to read and will pick them up soon.
