The Secret

Reviews | April 2019

April started off as a really good reading month, but ended up not being so great towards the end because that's when I went into a reading slump that I couldn't really get out of it. I spent this month trying to catch up to my Goodreads goal so I read a lot of shorter books. It would've worked out if I kept it up but unfortunately, life had other plans. But, reviews! Reviews Bossman by Vi Keeland I don't know what it was about this book that didn't do it for me. I really thought this was going to be another one of those steamy books I love, but for the most part, it was okay. I think the past vs. present story line wasn't something I really enjoyed. While I get that the author was trying to show the tragic past of the male protagonist, I felt like it was dragged on too long. It could've been told as a prologue and then I would've felt more attachment seeing his side of the story as well. I found this to be a little predictable and overall meh in the sex...

Review | Whodunnit? Murder in Mystery Manor by Anthony E. Zuiker

This was such a fun book to listen to. I downloaded for free on Audible and wasn't exactly that interested in listening to it at first, but I finished off the book I had chosen with my book credit for the month, so I decided to give it a go, and I am glad I did. Whodunnit? takes place on Mystery Manor where, similar to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None , guests are trapped in a manor and must find the killer before the killer gets to them. Although very similar in the plot, Whodunnit? had quite a few differences that made it entertaining. The book opens up with our main narrator, Giles, arriving as a new butler to Mystery Manor and while we don't get to learn too much about him other than a brief work history, I really liked him as a character. Or maybe it was his voice (narrated by Gildert Jackson who plays the butler in the companion show as well.) But he was ultimately the one taking care of business at the manor while people died left and right. The victims all...

Author Interview & Giveaway with Marie Marquardt (Dream Things True Blog Tour)

Today we have Marie Marquardt here for an author interview! This interview is part of the blog tour for Dream Things True .  1.   Without spoiling anything, could you tell us what was your favorite scene to write in  Dream Things True ? I loved writing one of the earliest scenes, when my protagonist, Alma, meets her love interest, Evan. They fall for each other almost immediately, which is one reason the story is compared to Romeo and Juliet. It was a really fun set of emotions to write. They feel instantly connected, but they also realize how complicated it will be for them to relate, on many levels. Alma knows it will be almost impossible to get permission from her strict dad to hang out with Evan. This is sort-of baffling for Evan, whose family has very different rules and expectations. 2. If you had to pair up your main character Alma from Dream Things True with any other character from any other YA book (either romantically or as a friend), who would it be and why...
