Seventh book in the Kate Daniels series.

After several attempts at this series it finally clicked and I listened to at least two of the books in the series while finishing the jigsaw.

Well, I see where the so-so consensus comes from lol. This was okay. I loved the Galveston setting, the storm, sunken ship growing mangrove trees. I enjoyed our intro to Ruby and the Christabel crew. Some creepy horror elements with the birds early on. But the witch storyline and lore was unbelievable with too many plot holes. The characters became ridiculous and the witches were weirdly inept. A 4-5⭐️ premise but lacking in execution. 2.5⭐️s

I gave The Haunting of Paynes Hollow three stars, mostly out of kindness. I read it quickly, but more out of boredom than suspense. The story felt very unrealistic, and for me, a good horror novel needs at least a touch of realism to make the scares truly land. Maybe this genre just isn‘t for me. The author‘s writing itself wasn‘t bad, but the story didn‘t resonate, and I don‘t think I‘ll seek out similar books in the future.

Raven Boys graphic novel! I loved these books way back when, so I jumped at the chance when my library got the graphic novel in.

Nope. Tried to read this for the #ChristmasCrimeChallenge
As a rule I don't like cosy anything, but I thought adding a fantasy element might help. It didn't. I could barely make it 20 pages. I think this one is probably bad even if you love cosy books. Would only take two hours or so to read, but life is still too short. I'd rather spend that time searching for a different book.

I don‘t know what to say about this book. I was really looking forward to it, and so many of the reviews are beyond glowing, but it ended up being a big letdown for me.
I never had any real connection to either main character, the plot and relationship felt disjointed, and while I liked the vulnerability portrayed, it did seem like every vulnerable moment was just a vehicle to get to another spicy scene, and that got real old.

This was between a so-so and a pick for me. The writing was good and the story kept me interested, I just didn‘t totally love it.

My next read - first publication of this was by Page Street Publishing Co. They‘re not too far from here in Salem, MA.

Not sure I‘ll hit my reading goal for this year, but I‘m trying to get a few more under my belt now that I‘m not in crunch mode for a license exam.
