Started out quite promising. Humans, mythical creatures, vampires and a unicorn. Then about half way through it went flat as though the author wasn't sure where to go. Not enough about the different creatures and then a rushed ending which didn't make much sense. Sorry won't be carrying on with the series.

A so so thriller novella. Was expecting a bit more about the characters, the games night (a little miss leading), the reasoning behind the murder was lacking and the ending was disappointing. 
Needed a short read, and this was OK.

I'm going with a 4⭐ as this is very much my kind of book. Thrift shop, creepy dolls with their own personalities and a MFC who think she's going nuts. Can't wait to get into this series and meet the dolls. 
informative reflective medium-paced

Interesting little book about the umbrella of paganism, candle magic and spells. 

The premise of this book had a lot of potential and grabbed my attention. Up until the middle of the book I quite liked it. A creepy town, lots of clocks ticking out of sinc, strange characters and an issue with time itself. Then it all went south. I DNFd the book at 55%. A week later I decided to try and finish it and I did but it was painful. It was repetitive, I began to feel I'd already read the page. I completely lost any hope of trying to picture a scene of any sort. All the characters seemed to dissappear, and the amount of times the word TIME was used was unreal. This is book 1 of 3 and tbh, I don't think I'll be reading the other 2. Sadly I did not enjoy this at all as it left me thinking wth happened 🤷🏻‍♀️
1⭐ for the idea and the beginning.

A so so re imagining of Jekyll and Hyde. Angry teenagers, curses and rituals at a university based in the North of England. 
I read the reviews and so many people were commenting on things that were hardly mentioned and had I not known about would have easily overlooked (cat scene hardly worth a mention, asexuality mentioned once). A lot of nit picking in my opinion. 
I preffered Every Exquisite Thing (Dorian Grey retelling) but not a bad read.

Fast paced, lot of spice, not a lot of deep story but a fun read. I had this on audio and I have book 3 in pb so I guess I'll have to get bk 2 to follow on the story of our hacker Jessie and the 4 Ryan brothers. Note this book does end on a cliff hanger and not a stand alone. 
If you're looking for a deep plot then this isn't the book, but if you want a reverse harem with humour then enjoy. 

I have no idea what that was about 🤔
