Books: My Thoughts on We'll Never Tell

Image
We'll Never Tell by Wendy Heard My rating: 3 of 5 stars Entertaining but a little too much teen drama for me. The events were interesting enough to keep my interest. The pace of the story was almost too slow for me though. I think if I were the target age for this one I would've definitely enjoyed this more and it would've been something right down my alley when I actually was that age. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on A Thousand Faces: Volume 1

A Thousand Faces: Volume 1 by Sosan My rating: 3 of 5 stars The summary above doesn't really explain what this book is about. In this one we follow Junwoo who has been raised by a group of swindlers. He grows an interest in acting while he's growing up and hones his skills while working jobs with his family. Eventually his life of crime catches up with him and he is given a chance to relive part of his life and he uses the opportunity to take another road - one that leads him towards his passion of acting. At first, I thought there might be a bit more fantasy woven into this story, but with this first volume, there really is only the time travel element.

Books: My Thoughts on Bride

It had enough of a mystery element to keep my interest and though there were things that I didn't enjoy, it was still very entertaining.

Finished Series: My Thoughts on A Ghoul's Guide to Love and Murder (Ghost Hunter Mysteries 10)

Image
A Ghoul's Guide to Love and Murder by Victoria Laurie My rating: 5 of 5 stars Just as good on re-read as I remember it being. This series is still one of my favorite series. I listened to the audiobook this time around and while it took me a bit to get used to the voices of our characters at the beginning of the series, I really warmed up to the narration and I ended up being very entertained. While I thought this was then end when I read this the first time, it turns out the author has another one in the works which will hopefully be out shortly. I've really missed our cast of characters and am looking forward to revisiting them in the newest installment. View all my reviews
