The God of The Woods was kind of boring in my opinion. I felt that the amount of pages was completely uneeded and could have been cut in half. I liked the plot of Barbara's disappearance, but the parts that took place in the past didn't I retest me. I felt bored during a lot of the past parts, and the present day parts felt like they dragged on.

I'd give this book another chance in the future, but as of the ARC I think it could use some final edits before getting published

Triple Sec was better than I had expected it to be. I enjoyed the development of the relationships and how real all the characters felt. I'm not a huge fan on smut so to me it felt excessive, but it made sense for their ages and relationship. Mel's love for bartending was felt throughout the book which I liked. The characters were all dynamic and developed well I've the course of the book.

I wish we got more backstory on all of the characters other than one of the previous partners. I would love to learn more about Kade and Bebe, Daniel and Jackson, and even Mel.

I never had to read animal farm for school so decided I'd listen to the audiobook to and from work. While I understand the message being told, I found the book to be kind of confusing and boring for the list part. Maybe knowing the pigs are corrupt before reading lended the book to having less plot than it would have had I not known, but I wouldn't say it was too exciting. Overall thought thought it was a good book and that I'd give it another listen at some point.

Icebreaker was a book on my the for a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed the relationships within the book, romantic, platonic and familial. The team felt like a true team as did the friendships, and the families felt the way I imagined they'd be in these circumstances. I think it was a very solid book, but only wish that they focused on Mickey's anxiety and depression rather than only his depression. I wouldn't be opposed to a sequel following the next year or a few years down the line.

Angels Before Man had a very promising premise, but inevitably fell flat. I loved the idea of a queer retelling of Lucifer's fall from heaven, but I didn't expect it to be so boring. I knew that there would be lots of religious talk and imagery based on the concept, but most of the book was just Lucifer prising God and worshipping both him and Michael. I wished that there was more conflict and romance throughout the book. This felt like an okay fanfiction that I'd read on AO3, but with better cover art and grammar. I would pick this book up again in the future if I felt like it, but at the moment have Jo desire to reread it. I was able to skip a few pages at a time without feeling like I missed anything. The book could have been cut shorter with some details taken out and I think that would have made it more exciting.
