Touching Melody by RaShelle Workman My rating: 1 of 5 stars Pre-read: Holy crud, that blurb! I have no qualms saying that I’m intrigued to see where this goes. It has the potential to turn out towards something interesting if handled well. *moves up on reading list* Post-read: I’m only giving this book a single … Continue reading »
The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski My rating: 1 of 5 stars Initial thoughts: *sighs* I think I’ll start this reflection with a few positive notes. I really like the cover of this book and how it ties into the physical portrayal of one of the main characters. It has such a beautiful, tragic, … Continue reading »
Levitating Las Vegas by Jennifer Echols My rating: 1 of 5 stars A random note to begin this review: I think this book has my all-time highest record for attempted sessions only to end up ditching the review draft and starting from scratch. Total number of attempts: ten. Number of nearly completed drafts: two. This … Continue reading »
Star Crossed by Kele Moon My rating: 2 of 5 stars This story required me to suspend my disbelief more than I wanted to in points. I just couldn’t really connect to Romeo and Jules relationship and the plot itself was threadbare, even haphazard in places. Coming off of “Defying the Odds”, I wondered what … Continue reading »
Easy by Tammara Webber My rating: 2 of 5 stars Pre-read thoughts: I was in a lengthy debate with myself over the measure of whether I wanted to read it or not, but I’ve decided to just give it a go. I’ll admit I’m critical because many NA titles have left me burned as a … Continue reading »
Hopeless by Colleen Hoover My rating: 2 of 5 stars If there’s one thing I can say about my impressions of reading “Hopeless”, my first read from Colleen Hoover, I make no qualms about saying that the woman can write well in considerations. Her narrative style is easy to go through, at times she knows … Continue reading »
Defying the Odds by Kele Moon My rating: 3 of 5 stars Kele Moon’s “Defying the Odds” surprised me. Usually when I say that a book can make me laugh and enjoy the journey enough to think well of it, despite common themes and progressions, I give it the benefit of the doubt. This book … Continue reading »
Ten Tiny Breaths by K.A. Tucker My rating: 1 of 5 stars Initial reaction: I think most people know from my status updates on this that I didn’t like this book, but I think reflecting upon the work on a number of different levels, it’s more than just one element or the measure that this … Continue reading »
True by Erin McCarthy My rating: 1 of 5 stars Pre-read comments: I often ask myself what am I getting myself into, and often the answer is I don’t know, but I’m doing it anyway. I’ll admit I have exceedingly low expectations for this book. Post-read comments: I think I still had some hope that … Continue reading »
Irresistible by Raven Gregory My rating: 1 of 5 stars I’m not even sure what possessed me to pick up this comic. I guess thinking it was from Zenescope, I expected it to have adult content (considering I had read the Grimm’s Fairy Tales series). I figured it’d have something of a dark morality play … Continue reading »
The Street of the Three Beds by Roser Caminals My rating: 2 of 5 stars “The Street of the Three Beds” really had me by the title, cover, and premise all in one swoop. Set in the heart of Barcelona, the story revolves a 25-year old gent named Maurici whose 22-year old lover, Rita, goes … Continue reading »
Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire My rating: 1 of 5 stars Initial thoughts: Some of you are probably thinking “Ye Gods, Rose, you said you weren’t going to touch this one, so why did you read it?” Several factors. Curiosity is not my best friend. It nags at me until I relent, even for books … Continue reading »
The Submissive by Tara Sue Me My rating: 1 of 5 stars I suppose it’s worth starting off this review with the notation that I knew this was formerly a Twilight fanfic published under the same title and same penname. I also knew that this was the story that “inspired” Fifty Shades author E.L. James, … Continue reading »
Paradise Hops by Liz Crowe My rating: 1 of 5 stars Initial reaction: I’ll have to think on this one, but I really did not like this portrayal of the collective story at all. Too jagged of presentation, the characterization seemed off, and I did not like the presentation of the tough elements this story … Continue reading »
Poison Shy by Stacey Madden My rating: 1 of 5 stars Initial reaction: I have many words to spare on the content and portrayal of this book, but it wasn’t what I thought it would be at all. I went into “Poison Shy” with the idea that it might be a decent murder/disappearance mystery, even … Continue reading »
