The Bewitching | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

I reaaally enjoyed the main story plot but there‘s so much that didn‘t need to happen.. iykyk 😅 It was also SO predictable to me that I was hoping for some big twist that never came. I wanted to give it a higher rating but since I can‘t see myself recommending it, I just couldn‘t do it..

I‘m really enjoying the story line but I definitely feel it could have been done without all these weird incest vibes 🥲 I‘m so excited for when it‘s no longer a thing 🙃 Onto the 3rd book!

I read this book in highschool and had started the second one but never got back to it.. until now 😎 I‘ve had the first 4 books for so long I figured I‘d do a reread/complete the series this time 😁 I enjoyed this and cannot wait to get to a point in the next book where I no longer know what will happen 🥰

Unmasked: My Life Solving America's Cold Cases | Robin Gaby Fisher, Paul Holes
post image
Pickpick

I‘ve always admired Paul Holes and the work he‘s done. It‘s sad to read about how it effected his home life but his job is a HUGE part of who he is. I cried when the Michelle chapter came up, I knew she would get brought up but didn‘t realize she would be getting a chapter (with good reason 😭) Such an amazing book ❤️

It was nice to see how Amanda and Evelyn‘s friendship came to be and how strong it is. Getting flashbacks have the book a different feel than the others that I enjoyed 🥰 I also loved the insight in Wills life 📖

I‘m so happy I had finished the Grant County series right before this one 🥹 Being back in Grant four years after the last book in the series felt like a great conclusion to the town. We may end up back there, who knows! I‘m nervy for Will next book seeing how this one ended 🙃 Will Angie rope him back in? We shall see…

I reaaaaally loved this book but the ending reaaally lacked lustre. I was so disappointed with how the book ended and how rushed the last 4 chapters were when everything else was so slowly paced.. felt like 300 pages of questions and slow burning then 11 pages of here‘s all your answers since I‘m out of time 😅 I loved the magic and the mystery tho!

Well.. that was a wild ride! It was a what I expected but with some twists. I did enjoy it and found myself listening whenever I could to see how justice would be served. It definitely could have been shorter at some points tho 🥲 started dragging at the end.

This book was super good and i think my favourite in the series so far! Only one book left and of course my library only has the physical copy so I need to wait until it comes into my branch 😅🤣 With that ending, I really want to start now! Plus knowing what I do.. I really want to see how everything is going to play out. 📖

In this book we got to know the story behind Jeffrey and Sarah. I really enjoyed diving into the past and jumping back to the present, both with mysteries to solve 📖 Only 2 books left in the series and knowing how it ends.. 😬

SassyPants617 I LOVE this series. 2mo
michellelav @SassyPants617 I just finished the 5th book and I think it may be my favourite so far!! I can‘t wait for the last one but also dreading it 🥲 1mo
SassyPants617 @michellelav I also didn‘t want the series to end. I read it in 2019 and I can still remember where I was and how I felt when I finished the last book lol. I don‘t always remember all the books I read, but that ending I‘ll never forget. 1mo

This was definitely a gruesome book 🥲 It was still enjoyable but definitely don‘t read if you have a weak stomach.. I was reading the Will Trent series and didn‘t realize that there was a whole series about Sarah before! I wanted to know more about her and Jeffrey so this is perfect 😁

Another amazing book in the series, and the last for now 😭 As always, the crew went through some wild trials pet sitting for Hectate! 🤣

I put the first book of The Heroes of Olympus on my hold list at the library 📚🥰

EvyBea Heroes of Olympus is a AWESOME series, definitely my favorite next to trails of Apollo. ✨🤭 2mo
michellelav @EvyBea it‘s next on my list cause I read online it is slightly connected to PJ series? Is that legit 🤣 Trials of Apollo will be after 😁🥰 He‘s truly such a fun author!! 2mo
EvyBea @michellelav heroes of Olympus has charecters from the first Percy Jackson series, and some completely and awesome new ones 💖 the trials of Apollo comes after heroes of Olympus and is about Apollo, as you could have guessed 2mo

Percy is on his first quest of 3 to get recommendation letters from the gods for college. This was a fun adventure, a lot less serious than the last 2 books which was nice. I know this book came out awhile after the original 5 books but I found it followed the story beautifully! 🥰

EvyBea The 6th, and 7th book come after the second series, the heroes of Olympus, which I 1000% rec. but I found it better to read the second series before, Sina the 6th and 7th are more like his senior year. 3mo
