Eve is so me in a way and do they sell that type of man on Amazon? This definitely reminds me of Zane novel from back in the day. I’m looking forward to the sequels of Lust Diaries.

Really 3.5 stars! This was a spooky and intense read! Very Octavia Butler/ Lovecraft “sun down country” vibes. This was a quick horror read recommendation and I’m glad I gave it a listen.

This was a cute murder mystery of a struggling former actress and the death of a young girl with a reward money attached. I enjoyed the book and the straight forward context. Enjoyable , and I may read the other series of this book.

Interesting read!!

Irish countryside murder with the ghost of an accused murder/suicide case that happened 25 years ago. The ghost of the victim can be seen and heard by Gethsemane, the new music teacher who took on a job to help build back the school's orchestra. I thought that this story was pretty good. It kept me engaged with the content and I appreciated the use of Irish decent as I listened to this via audiobook.

Hmmm, I dont know if I like this book. I don't hate it but it's something that forgettable in my opinion. The story and POVS were easy to follow but the climax of the story was a bit lack luster. I saw that this book was HEAVILY recommend on a few BookTok pages and thought I'd give it a shot. I enjoyed it but don't think I'll pick this up a reread.

Really teetering between a 3.5 and 4 stars. I felt like this reminded me so much of Push ( Precious movie) that it kinda threw me off a bit for the similarities both novels had. Overall, the novel itself was good. The story was tense and dark , which I enjoyed. All alleged!

First time I’ve read a fantasy book in a very long time and I enjoyed it. Fantasy is not usually my go- to but I saw so much hype around the book so I gave it a shot, it did not disappoint.
