• Taking a Pause

    I became a book reviewer for a book group and I’ve posted three reviews for that group since. There’s no strict format to follow, but it was still an enlightening experience as I realized I had to modify the way I write my reviews, especially for the ones I dislike.

    As a standalone, I think this worked out pretty average. Even though there are a lot of negative things, I appreciated the author’s attempt to make it more complicated with the stalker and art thief plot points.

I really like the pacing of the story, the plot twists, the events, and the character progressions. The characters themselves are likeable and… Continue reading

    Jules Ambrose and Josh Chen have always hated each other and not a single interaction between them before the events of this book would not end without throwing insults at each other. The only reason they’re in the same orbit is that Josh’s beloved sister, Ava, stuck with Jules as her best friend since college. Continue reading

    Book Review: Freer of Souls

    Personal Rating: ⭐⭐ (2 out of 5 stars) I will not deny that this seemed really well-researched. The mix of history, religion, and magic was a really interesting read. However, I felt that the research overpowered everything else. Continue reading

But the sexual intensity gradually increases so you Continue reading
