Books: My Thoughts on The Last Vampire (The Last Vampire #1)

Image
The Last Vampire by Christopher Pike My rating: 3 of 5 stars More like a 2.5 Buddy read with my friend Raul from Latin Lector for #MarchMysteryMadness I am making my way through my collection of Christopher Pike novels accumulated from my youth through my adult years. This was one I hadn't read when I was growing up, so I was very interested in getting into it. Unfortunately while there were a few things that I found interesting, there were more things that bothered me about this story. I do have the rest of this series, so I will read them but this one was a bit disappointing. The next one sounds more like interesting, so hopefully I'll enjoy that one a bit more.

Manga Series Sampler | Kaguya-sama: Love is War

Welcome to another Manga Series Sampler video! These videos are just like my Series First Impressions videos where I tell you my thoughts on the series and whether or not I will be continuing it. The only difference is that I will talk about the first three volumes instead of just the first volume. That being said, I try to be as spoiler free as possible by not discussing things past the first volume. In this video I give you my thoughts on Kaguya-sama Love is War by Aka Akasaka. Let me know if this series sound interesting to you down in the comments below! The Booktube Spin

Image
A Deadly Inside Scoop by Abby Collette My rating: 4 of 5 stars More like a 3.5 Read for #Book1CoziesClub and #MarchMysteryMadness I really enjoyed this one, though I didn't really enjoy how the revelations came about at the end. The recipes at the back were a nice surprise! I'll definitely be continuing with this one and I look forward to more ice cream creations in the next installment.

Books: My Thoughts on Taking the Titanic

Image
Taking the Titanic by James Patterson My rating: 3 of 5 stars Read for #MarchMysteryMadness An entertaining and fast read. I didn't enjoy these characters, but as things start picking up I found myself wondering if they would survive the sinking or not. This is probably not a book I will revisit, but I'm glad I finally got to it. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on The Phantom Music Box (Haunted Museum Mysteries #2)

Image
The Phantom Music Box by Suzanne Weyn My rating: 3 of 5 stars Read for #MarchMysteryMadness I didn't enjoy this one as much as The Titanic Locket, but it was still an entertaining read. This definitely requires you to have knowledge of what The Blue Danube sounds like, as it plays a prominent roll in this book. It also references a few ballet techniques. I did not agree with how our main character's parents reacted to things including discussing how our main character's anxiety trigger shouldn't affect her anymore. Their reaction at the end also seemed very extreme to me. All in all, I will continue with this series but this is probably an installment I won't revisit. View all my reviews
