Twisted Games by Ana Huang

Doc: The Rape of the Town of Lovell by Jack Olsen

informative sad slow-paced

2.0

Slow book. Hard to read. Interesting. Lots of information. Sad what these women went through and that so many weren't believed by town people. Horrific. 

Heart of the Forest by Shaquilla Lunsford

adventurous dark medium-paced

4.5

Nature requires balance. 

Thatch is the Price of the Forest while Ember is Princess of Fire. They need each other in order to save the Forest Kingdom from dying. Much like a forest needs a wildfire to clean brush so new plants can grow. Assassins are coming for Ember and want to destroy Thatch. 

This was such an adventurous story. It's full of angst and adventure. I enjoyed the longing that both characters faced because they didn't want to admit their feelings. Absolutely a other fun fantasy read by Shaquilla Lunsford.

My Funny Demon Valentine by Aurora Ascher

adventurous funny medium-paced

4.0

This was an interesting novel. I enjoyed the demons interactions with humans. I also agree with Eva, they need some human classes because they don't always fit in with what they say.  It was a fun book to read.

Early Thirties: A Novel by Josh Duboff

lighthearted slow-paced

Too many POVs. And some only had one chapter which I found odd and pointless. Not the best storyline. 

I won this on a giveaway.

Slasher! Like good ole old school slasher. People dying left and right. It was good, but also a little odd. Didn't understand the voodoo a d dark arts aspect at the end. You didn't see it really during the book.
