The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver My rating: 3 of 5 stars I read this after watching the adaptation and while I was entertained by this story, it kind of felt like it was missing something. The pace was a lot slower than I expected as well. Listened to this one entirely and I thought the narrator was fine, but maybe that also lended to the slower pace I felt? I'm still interested in continuing with this series, but won't be jumping into the next one right away. View all my reviews

Pacific Vortex! by Clive Cussler My rating: 3 of 5 stars Not sure why, but this one took me a very long time to get through considering the number of pages it has. It took me three tries to get going with it and I had a very hard time getting into the story. It is set mostly on Oahu, somewhere I'm very familiar with, so I'm not sure why the story didn't grab me for a bit. I would say about halfway through, I was more interested in the happenings. Towards the end though, it started to feel like Dirk Pitt was trying to be someone like James Bond, especially with the little love line thrown in. It even felt a little like a James Bond movie towards the end. In the end, I do think this was an interesting and entertaining read, so I will be continuing to the next one. View all my reviews

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston My rating: 4 of 5 stars I thought this was cute and entertaining. Definitely a few things that were predictable, but I still enjoyed this read. I was a little worried about the political aspects of the story before I started reading, but those aspects ended up being okay for me. I listened to half and read half and both experiences were good for me. I enjoyed the narration though it was a little slow for me. Truthfully, I didn't think I was going to enjoy this as much as I did and I'm glad I gave it a chance. View all my reviews
