Today’s review is for Last Sunrise in Eterna by Amparo Ortiz. This is a YA fantasy set in Puerto Rico. Thank you to TBR & Beyond Tours for allowing me to be part of this blog tour! CW: trauma, handling corpses Last Sunrise in Eterna – The Review Characters There are so many characters in Last Sunrise in Eterna that have a lot to do with the story, so I really don’t want to go into too much detail regarding specific characters. I will say that I really enjoyed Sevim – she and I are a lot alike (aside from the fact that I am not Puerto Rican – I mean music and fashion tastes and loving to read). I also greatly enjoyed Aro – although sometimes I didn’t and you’ll understand more about that when you read the book. As far as Aro’s brother, Feyn is concerned, I don’t […]

Today we are taking a look at Girl Forgotten by April Henry. Girl Forgotten is a young adult thriller novel that I have to say, I loved. This was the first time I’ve read an April Henry novel and I must say, I am definitely interested in reading her backlist! Thank you so much to TBR & Beyond Tours for allowing me to be part of this blog tour! CW: Murder, Suicide, Overdose, Drug Use Ok, so we all know this will be the usual CAWPILE/CAWPIRE review – so here we go! Girl Forgotten – The Review Characters There are a LOT of characters in this book, so I’m just going to give a quick overview of how I felt about a couple of them. I love Piper! She’s funky, she’s cool, and she loves true crime podcasts. I also love true crime podcasts, so I connected with her from […]

Royal Blood by Aimee Carter

Posted 03/12/2023 by Charli in Book Reviews / 0 Comments

I’m a sucker for thrillers and if it’s a YA thriller, then all the better. Don’t ask me why I like YA so much better than adult books, but I do. I mean, yes, I read adult books, but I have a strong preference for YA over adult books. So when I saw this come up as one of the blog tours, I knew I had to sign up. Now if you know me, you know that I’m not usually a fan of anything that involves royalty, but the description of the book sounded so good, I had to read it. I’m so glad I did. Characters I’m going to be honest, there’s a ton of characters in this book and it can be tough to get a feel for all of them – especially since we don’t see a lot of all of them. So if I missed a […]

Suburban Monsters by Christoph..

Ok, so we know I love horror. I’ve said it a million times. So when I saw Suburban Monsters, a horror short story collection by Christopher Hawkins on NetGalley, I had to give it a try. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as thrilled with the collection as I’d hoped. Read on to see my thoughts on the various stories. Suburban Monsters – The Stories Green Eyes This story isn’t too terribly scary or creepy. It’s more sad than anything, with just a touch of horror at the very end of the story. It only takes a few minutes to read (less than 30) and it’s a nice story to start Suburban Monsters off. I rather liked it. Moonrise Over Water With Sargassum, 2022. Oil on Canvas Again, this story in Suburban Monsters isn’t terribly scary or creepy. It’s more sad and perhaps a cautionary tale of what can happen when a husband […]
