I really liked this story of three Sisters, who were named for Shakespeare characters, and grew up quoting Shakespeare, as their dad is a professor of Shakespeare. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to keep reading it, since their mom is fighting breast cancer, but her cancer journey was so eloquently written about and the experiences were described so correctly, that it felt like a hug of acknowledgement and support throughout the story.

When former actress Cryptessa is killed with the stake of the "Do Not Tresspass" sign from her yard through her heart, one of her neighbors is a suspect. But, all of them had recent arguments with Cryptessa, so it could have been any of them.

I enjoyed the writing of this. It was a standard human trapped on an alien planet romance. I liked the world building and all the characters felt different.

I'll carry on with the rest of the series as I'd like to see what happens to the other characters.

Mpreg is not my thing. It was not really a big part of the book, it happens at the end and is speedrunned through which worked for me!

This is a romance book with serial killer trappings. That aspect is treated like a quirky part of their personality rather than a driving force in the book.

When it is featured it's gory for the sake of being gory and disturbing. I would have preferred to focus on how they found them, verified they were killers etc Rather than the violence but that's a personal preference.

I've had issues with this author before in terms of length. This book is long and it's packed full of unnecessary moments and details. I don't care what the MC has for dinner and their thought process behind it unless it has something to do with the plot.

It is simultaneously fast paced and so incredibly slow. I ended up skim reading the majority of it because so much of it was unnecessary.

I buggered my knees this weekend so I indulged in IWTV season 2 and a lot of KU books. I'm playing catch up now with posting.

This was another fun instalment. It is slowly moving towards a throuple which I love and I just want to know what Adam is!

This has been my absolute favorite book of this series so far! It was a very Agatha Christiesque whodunit mystery with our favorite characters Georgiana, Darcy, Belinda, and Queenie.

This is a spin off from another series. I haven‘t read it and I didn‘t think I missed much. It‘s a mash up of ghosts, romance, save this failing business, and surprise grandchild.

All of the characters were awkward and adorable. I really hope this develops into a series as there were some interesting ideas and plots that weren‘t fully developed in the book.
