A Tempest of Tea

Hafsah Faizal

DID NOT FINISH: 44%

A Tempest of Tea has a lot of world-building. I am not a frequent fantasy reader and found it hard to keep up with the story in the audiobook format. I might go back to this title in a different format, as the parts that I was able to grasp did pique my interest. 

The Murderess

Laurie Notaro

DID NOT FINISH: 17%

I was frustrated with The Murderess as the blurb sounded SO good. A historical crime fiction novel is right up my alley. Unfortunately, the writing was just unbearable. This title would have benefited from some major editing.

The Woods are Waiting

Katherine Greene

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

I DNFed this title due to its slow pace. I had no connection to the main character, Cheyenne, and could not have cared less about her quest to discover the secrets of her hometown. Overall, I did not want to invest any more energy into The Woods Are Waiting.

The Wife's Revenge

Deirdre Palmer

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

This book bounces between two different points of view. The protagonists are so similar that with only one narrator on the audiobook, I found it hard to keep track of whose story I was listening to. I would give this book another chance in a different format.

Rebel Rising: A Memoir

Rebel Wilson

DID NOT FINISH: 25%

I really wanted to like this one, but RW came across as disingenuous, and I realized that I did not really care about the stories she was writing about. I am usually a fan of celebrity memoirs, but I just didn't click with Rebel Rising.
