I have been randomly buying Lisa Scottoline books from library book sales for years and haven't read one. This was my first Scottoline book. And it was absolutely ridiculous. Are they all like this or is she trying something new? The writing itself was just not very good. Weird, short sentence structure, weird language like she was trying to be hip when she's not. ...more
The concept was really interesting and unique. A man (is he the only one ever to have this ability?) has the ability to taste a meal thaNetGalley ARC.
The concept was really interesting and unique. A man (is he the only one ever to have this ability?) has the ability to taste a meal that a dead person and a living person had shared together and they get one last chance to get answers or say goodbye. But things are not all they seem and something could be happening on the other side. The book was not very fast-paced and was really slow in the middle but most of all I was disappointed with the ending....more
Well, this was not good. Too much going on with Thea's current situation when it has nothing to do with the plot. Why waste pages on AmaNetGalley ARC.
Well, this was not good. Too much going on with Thea's current situation when it has nothing to do with the plot. Why waste pages on Amani's engagement? Dom's relationship? Even the epilogue was unnecessary. Should've just went even more all in on the cult. This was disappointing....more

This was not good. It was my third Lisa Unger novel and I enjoyed the first two for the most part, a 4-star and a 3-star. This was definNetGalley ARC.
This was not good. It was my third Lisa Unger novel and I enjoyed the first two for the most part, a 4-star and a 3-star. This was definitely way worse. I love the cover, it's beautiful, even though nothing happens underwater so it's kind of strange that most of the cover is UNDER the island...but anyway. The story was mediocre to begin with and then it just got worse. Unlikable characters, terrible motivations (for some, not all), just kind of sloppy....more
Jane, girl, get a therapist. You need one. Badly. Is this how children abandoned by a parent feel and grow up to be? I can't believe thaNetGalley ARC.
Jane, girl, get a therapist. You need one. Badly. Is this how children abandoned by a parent feel and grow up to be? I can't believe that. Jane was neurotic! It was kind of uncomfortable! The way she basically acted through her whole life, she was playing a character and not being herself, even since the age of 14. Yikes. Jane didn't really grow on me but Dan did. And I loved his family....more
This book gave me Stacy Willingham vibes for real. Alcoholic, messy female MC is her MO lol. But Ashley Flowers also did it. Honestly, tNetGalley ARC.
This book gave me Stacy Willingham vibes for real. Alcoholic, messy female MC is her MO lol. But Ashley Flowers also did it. Honestly, that was a detractor from the story. But I did like this story. Not sure I agree with the ending and how I feel about it, it's a bit of a lesser of two evils kind of thing...Like, do I side with that ending or do I hate it because of what happened. Vague, yes lol. Overall, a quick, fascinating read that leaves you wondering what else?...more
Well, that was incredibly bad. Worst Sandie Jones book I've ever read and I'm starting The Trade-Off tomorrow as NetGalley ARC.

Well, that was incredibly bad. Worst Sandie Jones book I've ever read and I'm starting The Trade-Off tomorrow as my last Jones book to read. Though reading it did cause me to feel nostalgic and start listening to Backstreet Boys. ...more
I would've never been able to finish this without also being approved for the audiobook. The beginning was very slow and NetGalley E-Book & Audio ARC.
I would've never been able to finish this without also being approved for the audiobook. The beginning was very slow and I was going to give up. I was only 30% through after more than a week. I just had no desire to pick it up. Once I got the audiobook, I cruised through it. I was interested in what was happening, I was engaged. But the story also picked up itself. I enjoyed the narrator a lot. Future historical fiction like this will be audio only for me....more
I actually liked this one best out of the whole series! It tied a lot of things together from previous books. It was nice to see a lot oNetGalley ARC.
I actually liked this one best out of the whole series! It tied a lot of things together from previous books. It was nice to see a lot of Gran's past and how the Faberge came in and out of the picture but ultimately found its rightful place. Like maybe Prose was tying up things. Last book? Could it be? ...more
Look, I actually didn't hate it. Even though I spitefully wanted to. lol. Dare I say I enjoyed it.Look, I actually didn't hate it. Even though I spitefully wanted to. lol. Dare I say I enjoyed it....more
