Odd Man Rush by Kristen Granata

DNF'd at 10%
I was incredibly jarring to find out the main characters were people we didn’t really know. Going into this I assumed it was going to be Aaryas book because they talked about her finding love so much in the first book. it felt like the published these books out of order. Also I love why choose but for some reason, I can only get into them if they are one female, multiple males

I couldn’t get into it. I tried getting into it as the cover was beautiful. However I don’t know anything about the goblin king

The Ripper's Shadow by Laura Joh Rowland
1.0
When I first saw the title, I thought this was going to be a retelling of Jack the Ripper, which I guess it kinda was. However, who ended up being the killer seeming came out of nowhere. If I was basing my review on just that this would have been a three. But it is my experience getting this book that made it a one star. I found this book in the young adult section of my library, it wasn't until I got home and started reading the book that I realized it was not for young adults at all. Not only that, but there is literally a naked woman on the cover. When I returned the book to the library I made them aware because even though I'm not a teenager and am used to having explicit material in my books, the next person might not be, and I wanted to help avoid a situation like that

I wanted to give the author the benefit of the doubt but I couldn’t get past the misspelling of the main characters name which is also the title of the book. Unless the author and her entire team doesn’t know how to properly spell heaven and know that the name is heaven spelled backwards. I don’t know how this got published. I might be overreacting but it bothered me.
Update:
I just realized after a year since putting this book down. The picture on the cover looks like an AI picture of Adele.

Cinder's Adventure: Get Me To the Wedding! by Marissa Meyer

I found out it was interactive and in one of the endings Cinder dies. I’m sorry but after everything she has been through she deserves a happy ending

I hate to say it, but I DNF'd this book. The first two books in this series were some of my favorite books of the year for the spin they put on real life events. The fact that she is now saying that the stuff in the first book was not actually true is complete bullshit. This series had the potential of my favorite series of all time as a criminology student, but it felt like it ended up being a train who crashed into a brick wall. I was going to try her other series after I tried it earlier this year but now I feel like I can’t trust anything this author writes

I have always wanted to read this book because the case based on has fascinated me for years. If somebody had told me it was from the point of view of a five year old I probably would not have read it. I found myself getting increasingly frustrated with a poor innocent child and I couldn’t take it anymore.

The 57 Bus: A True Story of Two Teenagers and the Crime That Changed Their Lives by Dashka Slater
1.0
I wanted to like this book so much because I wanted to hear a case from my hometown then I have never heard before. But instead of learning about who these people were growing up before this incident. It felt like an in depth course on lgbt terms some of which was not relevant to the story in anyway.

I loved the idea of a mystery series about a psychiatrist but that's not what I got. I got a fucked up romance about a girl who sees ghost and falls in love with a demented dead serial killer. To the point where she was having Izzie Stevens level of sex delusions about him. Eventually I couldn't take it anymore

What is it with these detective series books either starting in a weird place or taking forever to get to the actual crime? If I wanted to read a book about agriculture, I would've picked up a book about agriculture. I decided to get the audiobook from my library because I accidentally got the physical copy of the second one at the library and didn't want to feel like I was completely lost. I realize now that wouldn't have mattered because I'm still completely lost. Originally I was going to just suck it up and read the second book, but after reading the reviews of this one and how there is a apparently corn zombies I was like no.. the author officially jumped the shark
