Kinda dull, the Thailand plot line grosses me out, looked up reviews and the ridiculousness only gets worse

The Dark Between the Trees tells the tale of soldiers who went missing in the darkness of Moresby Wood while following a group of women who set out to discover what happened to those soldiers so many years ago.

This book started slow, picked up, gained speed, and then took us to a confusing place. I enjoyed this book for the most part- I rooted for Harper, read furiously as Alice and Sue engaged in a battle of wills, and hoped desperately that someone would get out alive.

However, the ending just didn’t deliver in the way I hoped- and for some who like cosmic horror, this might be your jam. It wasn’t BAD or anything… it just wasn’t satisfying. 

This story is incredibly atmospheric and I often felt right there with our characters- though I think it was (surprisingly) easier to connect with the soldiers than the present day women. They just weren’t as fleshed out and felt a bit more hollow, which was a disappointment. 

If you enjoy a confusing, cosmic story with a haunting atmosphere- this might be just what you’re looking for. It’s a solid, 3.5 stars for me. Rounded down to 3 for NetGalley purposes.

A super cute second-chance romance set at a campsite! I really enjoyed this little novella and it satisfied my sweet tooth.

This was a dual POV romance and I really enjoyed Julian’s POV! He was so head-over-heels for Samantha and I enjoyed the way he thought of her:

He tends to not only admire her beauty, but her strength and capability as well! Not something I see often in romance.  

My one criticism is the pacing felt just a teensy bit off. Other than that- loved it! 

(Also- no spice, just cozy romance)
