The Neighbor Favor

Kristina Forest

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

Nick is a loser and a coward. Lily deserves better. Didn't even want to see how he'd redeem himself because he's just full of bad choices and self-deprecation.

Burning Season

DID NOT FINISH: 27%

Too many queer-phobic (specifically biphobic) remarks for me...

Kingdom of Souls

Rena Barron

DID NOT FINISH: 9%

Tried listening on audio after DNF'ing the physical book a few years ago when I was halfway through, and I have the same thoughts...quite boring and too much inner monologue from the main character, not enough dialogue or action.

The First Binding

R.R. Virdi

DID NOT FINISH: 14%

I ended up DNF'ing this one 15% in. The premise was super interesting, but it takes way too long to get into the story and find out what the main plot is.

A Venom Dark and Sweet

Judy I. Lin

DID NOT FINISH: 38%

Kang's perspectives took me out the story. Half of the story surrounds Kang's plot and I did not find it to be engaging, and it took me out of Ning and her journey.

Black Star

Bored.

These Toxic Things

Rachel Howzell Hall

DID NOT FINISH: 49%

Boring. I got halfway through and realized I truly did not care about the mystery or the main character, and I had no inclination to ever pick this up. I really enjoyed And Now She's Gone by this author, so I'll pick up more of her works in the future.

Master of Poisons

Andrea Hairston

DID NOT FINISH: 24%

Confused beyond reason and bored out of my mind...not a great combo, so this one just wasn't it for me.

Ramón and Julieta

Alana Quintana Albertson

DID NOT FINISH: 39%

Incredible vapid main characters, especially Ramón - he only describes women on how they look in an incredibly judgmental manner. I couldn’t stand him, and Julieta isn’t that memorable or lovable to make me continue. I did, however, enjoy the sprinkles of the original Romeo and Juliet story.
