The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji My rating: 3 of 5 stars It was enjoyable enough, but nothing really grabbed me. The narration was just ok. It almost sounded computer generated at times. All in all, I'm glad I finally read this one and I would consider reading the next one in this series. View all my reviews

Strange Houses by Uketsu My rating: 3 of 5 stars This ended up not being as good as I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed the beginning portions of this book. That's where it felt most mysterious and where I was most engaged with the story. As things start to get revealed, my interest level started to decrease. Once I finished, I still found the story to have been enjoyable but it just wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it was going to be.  While I do own a physical copy of this book, I did choose to listen to the audio book. I did not look at the pdf that accompanies the audio book and maybe that would've helped my enjoyment level. I do have the manga version, so I'm hoping that a read of this story in that medium it will make this story as enjoyable as I had hoped it would be. View all my reviews

The Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown My rating: 3 of 5 stars While I found this to be an entertaining read, there were a few times where I thought the story dragged. Unfortunately, I believe this is probably my least favorite of the series. Overall, I did enjoy the story though and would continue in this series if another installment was released.

Hooked on Ewe by Hannah Reed My rating: 3 of 5 stars Read for #MarchMysteryMadness I enjoyed this one, but not as much as the first installment. I thought that due to some of the elements of this particular installment including mentions of yarn and knitting (with some crochet), that I would be more engrossed than I was considering those are hobbies I enjoy. Unfortunately, this one didn't really grab me, but it was still entertaining.  View all my reviews

Mate by Ali Hazelwood My rating: 3 of 5 stars I enjoyed this but I didn't enjoy this installment as much as Bride. I wasn't very invested in this couple or the mysterious elements that arose. I think it largely had to do with how the characters are narrated on the audiobook. I might've enjoyed it more if I read the ebook copy instead, but the library holds did not work out that way for me. I will say that I did enjoy how the dual narration happened in this audiobook, where it sounded more like conversation would go as opposed to how sometimes the narrators trade off chapters. I just didn't really enjoy the presentation. All in all, I'm glad I was able to visit this world again even if it wasn't as enjoyable as the first. View all my reviews

Perfect Deke by Ruth Stilling My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this one. Fake dating is a trope that I've realized I enjoy, but I don't think it was necessary for this story to get where it ended up. I do also think this book included more spicy scenes than it needed to have. I think the author did a good job introducing the couple we will follow in the next book and I am interested to see how that one plays out. View all my reviews

Game Changer by Rachel Reid My rating: 3 of 5 stars Entertaining, but very spicy. I listened to this one and I think I would've been better off reading an ebook or physical copy instead. The way the characters were narrated just did not work for me. I will be continuing to the next one as it follows different characters, but I won't be listening to the audiobook. View all my reviews
