Review: The Passion of Cleopatra

The Passion of Cleopatra The Passion of Cleopatra by Anne Rice
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I'm beginning to wonder if Rice has always been this bad and my memory has been kind to her. The more likely explanation is that she's just past her prime for plotting a tale.

Review: Girls Burn Brighter

Girls Burn Brighter Girls Burn Brighter by Shobha Rao
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked that you never quite knew where the story would take you, from one section to the next. Too many stories are way too predictable and this was quite refreshing.

Review: Lion Hearted: The Life and Death of Cecil & the Future of Africa's Iconic Cats

Lion Hearted: The Life and Death of Cecil & the Future of Africa's Iconic Cats Lion Hearted: The Life and Death of Cecil & the Future of Africa's Iconic Cats by Andrew Loveridge
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If you're interested in this just for the Cecil story, that only accounts for 10-15% of this book. That aside, this is a very informative account of the conversation struggle from a man right in the middle of it all.

Review: The Little Stranger

The Little Stranger The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This story really sucked me in and I hard a hard time not reading it, but it really petered out and went flat at the end.

Review: Legendary

Legendary Legendary by Stephanie Garber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Middle books have a tendency to be not very good. They often fall into the placekeeper trap and don't move much along. This book managed to avoid that and had a good story all on its own.

This review is in exchange for a free e-galley from netgalley.com.

Review: Hounded

Hounded Hounded by Kevin Hearne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's a good start when the opening paragraph uses the phrase "batshit insane," twice.

I got this on loan from the library but enjoyed it so much I may buy the whole series to add to my collection.
