This is a murder mystery with no murder and a drop of mystery... and were we supposed to root for the romance? It was a snooze fest.

I had high hopes but it was just okay. There weren't any big twists or reveals, none of the characters were particularly likeable or even that bright, and it was easy to figure out the ending which wasn't all that satisfying. It just could've been a lot better but it did have a few unsettling moments.

Only just a little letdown with this one. The writing was beautiful and some chapters were more powerful than others but there were some issues for me. It didn't really feel like there was a plot. I know what it's supposed to be about but it just didn't hit home for me. While I enjoyed some of this, a lot felt boring and just didn't hold me. There were multiple POVs and they kind of all blended together. It could've been brilliant but it just didn't work for me.

This was heartfelt and lively with the themes being on erasure and occupation and lives being upended. It gives you a look at the daily lives of people here before everything went wrong. The message is strong and powerful but I had some issues... First, the writing went from animated and lovely to weird and clunky and it threw me off. Second, it's supposed to have tragic teenage romance which I didn't feel like there was much romance (and I'm ok with that it just feels a little misleading). Lastly, the sexual content was unnecessary. The narrator is a 15 year old boy. It just felt gross to read and I had to keep skipping over it.

Man, this could've been good. A woman wakes up on a cruise ship and everyone else is gone and the ships just aimlessly sailing into the open sea? Nightmare fuel. The author easily could've played with people's fears of large bodies of water or ships and instead turns it into... A tv show/game? It was so unrealistic it was lame and immediately took the potential fright factor away. None of the characters had depth except random unnecessary bits about Caroline's life.

Why did every character feel unnecessary? And how is Joel the main character and he doesn't even feel real? This story relied on so many tired stereotypes it lost any appeal it could've had. No thanks.

This was incredibly basic. It could've been so good. It had the roots of a realistic setting and situation and could've played with people's minds. And at times, yes, it was graphic and gory and that branding scene? Oof it gave me chills. But most of these interviews were so boring, didn't really get into the gritty details, and lost me at times. Not the worst but not the best.

This was cute and fluffy and enjoyable. I loved that the love interests were older and it made the romance feel more mature and relatable to me personally. I really enjoyed the storyline and thought Mickey was a great character. My only issues is that it came off as insta lovey and the timeline was very quick and it's just not a trope I like. It's also a light read but doesn't go too deep and everything felt very surface level. I would've liked a little more. That being said it's a 3.5 from me.

This was light and enjoyable and very quick to read. Despite Cat being annoying and lacking depth, I thought it had an interesting plotline and I loved Uncle Terry, Serena, Mina, and the others at Kannery. I loved that this was a clean romance. Don't get me wrong, I love smut like many people, but sometimes it's nice to have a romace that doesn't depend on the sex. That being said, I didn't buy into Zaiah as the love interest. Actually, I found him to be sooo boring.
