Children gets hurt

Reviewed: 12-14-24

The story was well written but I wish I knew that there was 2 children who passed away (and I’m saying this lightly because they were k***ed) in a terrible way in this book explained in detail.

Lowen called Crew a demon child only because he wasn’t friendly towards her the first time they met. They weren’t even introduced she just showed up to the house and wanted to be greeted by everyone as if she owned the place. My 2 year old isn’t friendly toward strangers either HELLO.

There’s also infidelity and the main character Lowen doesn’t even blink an eye to destroy that marriage or no remorse is ever seen.

Jeremy the male MC is not a good person either. How do you marry someone for so long, have 3 kids, and cannot give that woman (Verity) a time of day to explain.

Lowen and Jeremy mu**** Verity and just go on about their business. Their son Crew didn’t even question how his mom died knowing that his mom was pretending the entire time.

There should be a trigger warning for people who can’t have children before reading this book or who have trusted a lover and got betrayed by them.

I saw that ending coming because it was just too easy to have written a so called confession and the father not realize that some of the added context wasn’t true since it was embellished that much.

Lowen’s narrator voice was annoying.

Sadly I do not recommend this book.

This is how Morgan Villain Era Started

Reviewed: 07-29-24

I dragged this book knowing I could’ve finished in hours instead of days. This book was so good.
I reread Book 1 just to remember all the details I might have forgotten or missed the first time around.

I still very much so didn’t like Sir Achelon (idk if I’m spelling it correctly) he never did anything to protect or defend Morgan. He always ran away or stayed quiet and when he finally tried to do something it was off camera and he died 😑.

I liked Morgan gradually became who she was.

King Arthur is a totally looney and because of a prophecy that he didn’t know what is should be blamed everything on his sister without any proof other than believing that women are weak they gossip they lie they deceive they’re witches and can’t control their urges typical men behavior of those times.

Merlin shaped her future to be feared by all just because he said so and he wanted her to be. He did tell her that she could have it all but she declined his offer and at the end of this book it happened but in a very terrible way.

I liked how Sir Mannison (Achelon’s cousin) his story at the end was just like Morgan’s. He fell for a married woman.

If there is a book 3 then I’m here for it if not then I’m still okay with this but book ending.

I loved the narrator she gave life to the story. I love Sophie’s writing style.

It’s YA

Reviewed: 02-22-24

I liked this book and I agree with many readers that says this is a very easy plot and read. This is a YA book so I went in reading this book knowing that a convoluted plot, adulting, mature conversations, character development, world building, and a strong reader character relationship was going to be weak or non existent.

Keeping that notion in mind, my expectation as I read it, were spot on. This is why I rated this book 3.5

The story line moved at a face pace compared to the many books in this genre that I’ve already read.

I found myself daydreaming as I read it because it was at times juvenile and there many cliches. The story was predictable.

Anders was too good and you sort of knew that he was going to end up doing something really bad that gained that goodness. His love interest Maya was okay and their relationship blossomed too quickly. They were the only ones that had a “connection “ as far as romantic relationships goes.

Ivan was the typical father figure in disguise. I knew he was the dad.

I did like Kirsten, Thomas, Max, Brit, and Bo when they left Anders to go back to their homeland Granwood. I found myself waiting for the author to go back to this storyline as opposed to reading about Anders. I thought their adventure was more entertaining and interesting because they were curious, acting like kids, and working together.

I’m not sure why Merglan was the way he was and maybe it was explained but I think I was daydreaming in that chapter.

I knew the Queen of the elves was the evil one that killed the entire royal family except for one the Prince. I knew who killed the Queen at the end because it was super obvious.

I’m glad that Kirsten didn’t die and I’m giving this series a break for now but it was a nice read.

Mystery

Reviewed: 02-17-24

It was a nice quick read. I liked the series. Valdez and Langdon make a great pair. I like the intricacies of coming back to life but like I said in my other reviews in the series.

I still have more questions!!! Because this book didn’t answer much of it and this story is centered around yet another murder mystery.

Like what makes a dispatcher a dispatcher? Do you need to have a special license, a wand, a badge, a magic anything, a weapon, a tool, or an article of clothing, that makes you a dispatcher? Like what differentiates a regular person from a dispatcher? Why in hospitals does the DNR applies and not in the streets or anywhere else? What if I want to die and not be resuscitated if I get hit by a car and a dispatcher happens to be a round and dispatches me (this happened in book 2)? Why isn’t everyone running to be a dispatcher if they hold the key to guiding people back to life?

I can see how people would manipulate a dispatcher or others of torture if they don’t do what they want or give them what they want. If you can come back to life and keep repeating the same scenario until either you do die or you give in.

The story overall was well written. It lacked world building, description, a connection between the reader and the characters but I didn’t come to read a 20hr book so I’m okay with it.

The twists and turns were good. It just seems like the same 3 characters (Valdez, Langdon, and The security company) are always intertwined somehow.

I recommend this series for a quick short read.

Better

Reviewed: 02-06-24

This book was a huge improvement from book 1.

However, I’m still questioning the intricacies of how people die and come back to life. It feels like the rules keep changing as the story progresses to fit the narrative.

I knew there was going to be some sort of loophole to this whole dying and reviving shenanigans. Which obviously bad people and criminals found.

I read a review on Good Reads that mentioned that why not have doctors be the dispatchers since they’re licensed to know if a person will survive a surgery or an illness but this line of work would not be in a doctors best interest since doctors are supposed to keep people alive not kill them. And often times the dispatcher would deliberately kill the person in order for them to show up alive where they feel more safe. This is something that goes against a doctor’s standard and code of ethics.

Also this job requires the dispatcher to be in different places other than a hospital because people don’t necessarily die only in hospitals.

Overall I liked the chemistry between Langdon and Valdez. I liked the narrator he had very well distinctive voices for all the characters.

Slow Pace No Action Weak MMC Boring Story

Reviewed: 02-05-24

This book was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring.

****This review contains Spoilers****

I’m not sure why I was recommended this book by everyone who read From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout (I highly recommend that book).

The beginning of this book was so good and then when she got captured or taken away it went downhill from there. To be quite honest I actually liked her sister Nesta she was the only one who was straightforward and was a real character with a backbone.

Feyre (FMC), Tamlin (MMC), Rhysand (MLead), Lucien (ML), Amarantha (Evil Queen), Alis (Maid), and all other side characters not worth mentioning.

Not sure why there was no foreshadowing for Feyre to get at least some of the blight curse clue as to what is going on. Instead we get an info dump at chapter 33 by Alis.

The entire capture was a joke. I just kept wondering why would he not kill her after she killed, skinned, and sold his friend in the market (shaped shift into a wolf) after he found her and instead took her to his home and treated her like an honored guest. Why?????

The MMC was a coward the entire book and I hated him for being such a pushover who didn’t even fight for Feyre the one he claims to love. He only kills Evil Queen after Feyre solved the stupid riddle.

I just can’t believe when Feyre and Tamlin were left alone for like 2.5 seconds why he instead of talking to her and explaining things to her they just went to kissing and grouping to the verge of getting it on until Rhysand saved their butts from being discovered by The Evil Queen.

I actually thought this book was going to be a reverse harem book because Feyre spent so much time saying how handsome and good looking other male characters were and she spent more time with Rhysand and Lucien than with Tamlin. (Thank goodness it wasn’t).

Both Lucien and Rhysand helped (cheated for Feyre) in the three tests she had to do and two of the house chores she had to do in order to earn her keep in the cell like dungeon she slept in.

To be frank I rather she would’ve been with Rhysand than with Tamlin. He did everything and went as far as lie to Amarantha for Feyre to save her and what did Tamlin do… NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. He didn’t even look at her or at least smiled. Ugh 😩 he sucked.

Everything got handed to Feyre she didn’t even do any of the test alone except for the first one.

I didn’t hate the book but I didn’t love it either. Not sure if I want to read the next in the series.

Good but…

Reviewed: 01-25-24

The more I read this book the more my mind just kept going to many similarities from many books I’ve read and I don’t necessarily hate that but I also wasn’t 100% excited or surprised about a lot of things because I was anticipating what would happen based on the other books and movies this book was based on. However, this book was entertaining and it kept my interest and I will be reading the next one.

What did got me thinking was the fact that the story was based on earlier times but a lot of the references they made or the things they said were based in the future. I wish I would’ve marked it while I was reading it.

Overall it was a good read. I do recommend this book to readers who just started this genre because they would absolutely love this book with a fresh look and take on it.

Nothing stood out the most.

Reviewed: 01-22-24

Why was this book written???

I couldn’t stand the MMC he’s so arrogant and a terrible character with no sort of empathy or sympathy or redeemable quality. He was too possessive and obviously he’s keeping secrets and the truth from Estrella which the author tries to mask as him being alluring and mysterious but it’s not working at all. It just makes him suck even more.

I really really really disliked book 1 up until Callum enters the scene and when I was done with that awful second half I had to put that book down for awhile before starting the second thinking this book might have been better at least redeemed book 1 but a las I DNF’ed this book at chapter 7.

Nothing happened other than a disgusting love scene in the middle of a dead deserted city where the FMC was doubting herself the entire time and hating the MMC because of what he did to her and her family and barely there friends whom she just met.

The back and forth between them is so booooring I was hoping that someone else entered the scene and saved her and me from this torture.

However, we get the leader of the hunt and his pack with the MMC pet wolves to add nothing to the scene.

I have no idea what’s the point to this book and I don’t even want to know anymore.

I do not recommend this series and thank goodness sake it was free otherwise I would want my money back since my time wasted can’t be taken back.

Stooopid

Reviewed: 01-09-24

This book is as childish as the word stooopid.

Aryn has an emotional outburst in every other sentence. I’m not sure how she managed to have a sword (which is super heavy) and bow in the human world when it’s apparent that the human world has technology. Wouldn’t she be carrying a shot gun or a riffle going through the forest? Considering that she doesn’t even know how to use either one of those two weapons accurately. At least with a gun she would’ve been able to shoot at something moving if anything happened.

I really disliked the jumping from character to character and the narrators changing in the same chapter like every other 4-5 paragraphs and not really contributing to the change in thought from the male or female MC’s perspective. Which made it difficult to connect with any of the characters.

I don’t mind reading 3rd POV but this is not it.

I DNF this book at chapter 20 thinking the book was going to get good. It just got more and more and more and more and more cringy. Nothing I mean NOTHING really happened. It was like having the TV on just for noise in the background and occasionally listening in to children’s conversation.

The conversations pointless, the over the top lightening fast insta love between Kai and Aryn unbelievable, the father (Lyr) and Aryn’s estranged relationship turned trustworthy and loving extremely quick, the immaturity of every character is ridiculous, and why are these men 500 years old and the MC 26 ALL OF THESE BOOKS ARE THE SAME. I find it hard to believe that in 500 plus years these men has never found a true love or soul mate ever and *Enters* regular nothing special human teenage girl into their fae world and all hormones go wild.

Why just why!

Don’t waste your time with this book. I didn’t find it enjoyable at all and I reread every chapter to make sure I was listening correctly.

The Perfect Mistake

Reviewed: 12-17-23

The better title for this book is The Perfect Mistake.

This book has so many plot holes. I listened to the audiobook and there were two narrators a male who sounded so fake, novice, and dramatic and then a female who should’ve read the entire book because she was great.

What upsets me about this book the most was that the police handled everything so terribly, they sucked at their job, anger was spread as well as exhibited by every cop on anyone. The investigative proceedings sucked big time.

I only finished this book because the story was good just executed terribly plus I wanted to know if my suspicion of who did it was correct which it was.
