Fun mystery

I enjoy Ally Carter so much. This book is no exception. Cute love story and fun mystery. It is set at Christmas but honestly it’s not a Christmas story. Worth the listen and the audio is great.

Story
I've heard a lot of things about Weston Cole. Popular. Conceited. Supercilious. He's spent the last three years steadily dismantling my family's legacy. I should hate him. And I did. Until I encountered him freshman year and discovered he's also troubled. Captivating. Audacious. And when I come across him again senior year, it turns out that knowledge is even more dangerous than his suggestive smirk....

This is a cute love story. Kept me interested the entire way through. There was some growth in the main characters. Nothing big but enough to be believable and keep it pretty light hearted.

Story
When former con artist Eleanor Ames's homecoming date commits suicide, she's positive there's something more going on. The more questions she asks, though, the more she crosses paths with Miles Beckett. He's sexy, mysterious, arrogant...and he's asking all the same questions. Eleanor might not trust him—she doesn't even like him—but they can't keep their hands off of each other. Fighting the infuriating attraction is almost as hard as ignoring the fact that Miles isn't telling her the truth...and that there's a good chance he thinks she's the killer.

I really enjoyed this book. I love spy books but this comes from the perspective of a criminal mind and I’m here for it.
I’ve listed to three Julie Cross books and enjoyed them all. She’s a good writer.

Story
Seventeen-year-old Annie Lucas's life is completely upended the moment her dad returns to the major leagues as the new pitching coach for the Kansas City Royals.

Just okay

This book was okay. It doesn’t make any sense that fraternal twins look so much alike. It kinda ruins the whole story since it isn’t believable. But the story was okay and I like to listen the way through books.

Strange
Reviewed: 12-21-24
The performance was great. However they just leave you hanging. There is no conclusion to this story at all. I think it was meant to be artistic but it just fell flat.
I was invested and wanted to know what happens to the mom and the child. I could relate as a nurse. But it’s just like they ended it in the middle of a story and it ruined the entire thing. I don’t expect a happy ending, but I did think there would be some type of conclusion. We don’t even know how she resolves her emotions with the current crisis. Maybe that’s because having a child like Alex is never ending until he dies, but at least state that somehow rather than just ending.

Please be careful. Please be happy. And please forget all about me. It’ll be better for everyone that way. Those were the last words Keefe Sencen wrote to Sophie Foster before he ran away to the Forbidden Cities. He didn’t want to leave, but it was the only way to keep his friends safe while he figured out how to control his scary new powers and searched for answers about his past. What he found was so much more than adventures in Humanland.

Typical Keeper book
Reviewed: 12-06-24
This is a typical keeper book where so much happens but we still feel like no questions were answered. Which isn’t really true because we do get some answers in this book.
I love these books and I am dying to understand it all someday when Shannon reveals it to us, but it’s been a long series of waiting!
I enjoyed hearing Keefe’s adventures and was especially happy with one of the big reveals. I always love redemption stories. But I won’t say more because I don’t want to spoil anything.
The narrator did a great job as well.
It was nice have something while waiting for book 10.

I’m a big girl, “plus-sized”, whatever. I’m sick of hearing about it, especially since my doctor diagnosed me with PCOS. So when mean girl Merritt shot her mouth off about how fat people should just lose weight, I couldn’t take it anymore. And now I’ve got a huge problem. To prove curvy girls like me can get happily-ever-afters too, I have to get our school’s quarterback, Beckett Langley, to take me to homecoming. And he doesn’t know I even exist. But it’s not hopeless. Four other girls just like me are willing to help, because enough is enough.

Relatable
Reviewed: 12-01-24
I wasn’t crazy about the narrator however, this book was a clean and cute read. For any girl who felt less than at any point due to her size this will hit home. I thought the inner monologue of the main character was spot on for things I’ve thought myself.
It sucks not being a size 6 or below in high school, but reality is that a lot of girls aren’t that small. So, we should learn to love ourselves and know we are worthy of love.
I will recommend this book to all the YA readers I know.
A few parts were a bit much for me, a little Harmark movie-ish, but overall I enjoyed it. I’m not sure if I would have felt that way with a different narrator. I didn’t care for her performance.

Kitty Harris has it all: cosily coupled up with boyfriend Archie, she’s putting in the hours at an ad agency to land her dream job. OK, so maybe they’ve become a bit too comfortable in their routine, with pizza night every Thursday, and maybe the agency isn’t so much up-and-coming as been-and-gone, but Kitty is happy. Until one diamond ring sitting pretty in her pepperoni ruins everything. Kitty does NOT want to get married, not after being caught in the crosshairs of her parent’s destructive divorce.

Reviewed: 10-15-24
First, the author did a great job with this book. The humor actually had me laughing out loud.
The story line was great. I loved Kitty’s journey and how she gets to the point of realization for what is best for her.
I honestly wasn’t sure how the book would end either.
The narrator also does a great job. She had me fully immersed. In fact I stayed up almost all night to finish this book in one day. Regretting that choice this morning though! A bit of a Leo hangover I suppose.
