Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson

3.5

I really didn’t like the reader performance on audio. There were a lot of characters and time jumps. It was hard to keep track of but I appreciate all the details and relationships!

Rogue Justice by Stacey Abrams

3.5

I like Avery Keene and her found family! The pacing was a little slow and overly technical at times. 

How Long 'til Black Future Month? by N.K. Jemisin

4.0

Each story was unique and there was many experimental and diverse formats for the stories. It was just too long for a short story collection. 

Starter Villain by John Scalzi

3.5

Slower than I was expecting for a Scalzi but was very fun.

Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby

5.0

High action, fast paced, characters you feel like you can reach out and touch, deeply emotional. Masterful storytelling!

Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender

3.5

A bit slow for me and the feelings of love and hate were a little forced. I loved the world-building and variety of different alchemic practices.

Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay

4.0

I’m hadn’t consumed of the books, movies and tv shows she critiques so it was a little hard to stay connected but her messaging and writing are always top tier.

People Person by Candice Carty-Williams

5.0

I loved each of these characters. The writing is so engaging and the arcs are fully developed. Best enjoyed on audio!

Come & Get It by Kiley Reid

A wild ride! Highly readable and hard to put down.
