They Lie Here by NS Ford

Posted 04/22/2023 by Charli in Book Reviews / 0 Comments

Our review for today is for They Lie Here by NS Ford. This post is one of the stops on the blog tour for this book. Thank you to TheWriteReads/BBNYA for allowing me to be a part of this tour. They Lie Here is an interesting mystery/thriller that also has some elements of science fiction… all centered around a woman trying to find out what happened to a musician from the 1980s who has disappeared. Kat Green is a former teen pop star who is trying to escape her past while also trying to “help” other former celebrities come out of hiding by finding them. I have to say, she isn’t a particularly likeable gal – after all, her main business is being a nosy woman who won’t leave celebrities who aren’t in the spotlight anymore alone. Her target in They Lie Here? Roskoe Darke, formerly of Scorpio Hearts. I […]

The Reaper’s Quota by Sa..

Our review for today is for The Reaper’s Quota by Sarah McKnight. This tour is part of TheWriteReads blog tour. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this blog tour. Ok, anyone who knows me knows that I love things that have to do with the Grim Reaper. I mean, I even have a Grim Reaper based Pathfinder 2 character (a sorceress named Reaper who casts Necromancy spells, wears a black robe, carries a scythe, and has a raven for a familiar). So I was thrilled to be selected for this blog tour. There is only one character we really need to worry about with this book and that is Reaper #2497. He remembers his name from when he was human and he also wants to know all the other Reapers’ names. He’s a super funny, super interesting character. It makes me wonder why all the other […]

We the Future by Cliff Lewis

Posted 04/19/2023 by Charli in Book Reviews / 0 Comments

Today’s book review for We the Future by Cliff Lewis is brought to you as part of the TBR & Beyond Tours blog tour. Read on to see what I have to say about this thought provoking book. I can’t truly quantify my thoughts about this particular book using the usual “CAWPILE/CAWPIRE” method, so I’m not going to even try. We the Future paints a fictional picture of a bleak future due to a very real and very serious issue – climate change. It also paints a picture of how the youth of today can rally themselves together to help instigate changes to mitigate the damage being done to our environment and our climate. One thing I appreciate is that Cliff Lewis manages to do the above without being preachy. If there’s one thing that will turn me off from a book about being eco-friendly, environmental issues, climate change, etc., […]

A Hunger of Thorns by Lili Wil..

Posted 04/17/2023 by Charli in Book Reviews / 0 Comments

Today I am bringing you a review of A Hunger of Thorns by Lili Wilkinson. This review is part of the TBR & Beyond Tours blog tour. Thank you to Lili Wilkinson and TBR & Beyond Tours for allowing me to be a part of this tour. CW: graphic depictions of gore, violence, death Do you ever pick up a book thinking it’s going to be amazing and then realize part way through that the book is good, but not as amazing as you’d thought it would be? That’s kind of what I got with A Hunger of Thorns. Let me explain… When I first started looking at A Hunger of Thorns, I was pulled in by the description and by the cover. The cover is absolutely gorgeous. I also love the title. But when I started reading the book it just wasn’t quite the book I thought it was […]

Last Sunrise in Eterna by Ampa..

Posted 04/01/2023 by Charli in Book Reviews / 0 Comments

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 […]
