Sparrow by L.J. Shen
3.0
The writing in this was spot on, I just had no idea what I was getting into. Personally, a little too graphic for me-but the character arc and voice were very well done.
My only real issue is the possibility of romanticizing mobsters and such. I honestly don't know how I feel about that, but it felt really wrong reading it.
Just my honest feelings!

Dreamology by Lucy Keating

*Full review with synopsis at Mama Bear Reads*
I jumped on the opportunity to read this, the moment I read the synopsis. And it was an ebook-I RARELY ever review ebooks. This one just made the cut.
Oh did it EVER make the cut.
I loved every single word in the book. So much fun! Keating has such a catchy and enjoyable writing style. I felt like I was watching a movie rather than reading a book. The characters are well flushed out and just the cutest things ever!
And Oliver...I seriously want him as a friend. He's just the best.
So yeah, just read the darn book. It's light, fun, and well worth the read.

Murder Mezzo Forte by Donn E. Taylor
4.0
After reading some other reviews, I can see many people didn't like the main character, due to his quirky ability to hear concertos in his head. I actually like this detail. It makes him a highly unique character-and a memorable one at that. If you don't know the music he's describing, I would suggest YouTube. It really brings the story to life!
Murder Mezzo Forte has a pretty great pace with not many pages lagging in action, or feeling like fillers. I enjoy Taylor's writing style, and I'm interested in checking out his other books (which the covers suggest to have a military theme) like The Lazarus File or Deadly Additive. I think all of Donn Taylor's works would be great gifts for the special guys in your life too!
