In Hell We Fight!, Volume 1

Honestly don't even remember why I originally wanted to read this. Did not enjoy the first two issues and decided it could go back to the library.

Okay, no, I hate this. Why did I think I could just read it without wanting to rip my hair out?

My Darling Dreadful Thing

DID NOT FINISH: 8%

Just was not into this at all. Possibly bc it's so hot out and I couldn't focus. 

The Witches of Bellinas

Something about this just isn't hitting for me. 

Cascade Failure

Will probably come back to this at some point, but am just really not in the mood for it right now.

I guess third person present doesn't really work for me. I thought maybe it was just the prologue, but it continued into the first chapter and I just found it incredibly distracting. 

Payback's a Witch

I got annoyed with the main character's voice almost immediately. Side-eyed the dreamcatcher wind chimes. And then finally quit at "even a magical haven like Thistle Grove got decent reception and Wi-Fi most of the time"...the fuck does she think WiFi is? That it just springs from the aether? 

Too annoyed already to keep going. 

The Lost Coast

A.R. Capetta

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

I really wanted to like this, but struggled with the switch from first person present to third person past every chapter, and didn't find the .mystery all that engaging.  

The Future

Catherine Leroux

I can see myself loving this at another point in time, but for now I am just not in the mood. 

Will Do Magic for Small Change

I did not enjoy the style this was written in, and knew I wasn't going to enjoy myself.
