Full Moon Over Freedom (Milagro Street, #2)

FULL MOON OVER FREEDOM, the second installment in the Milagro Street series by Angelina M. Lopez, delves into Gillian Armstead-Bancroft's quest for self-discovery. Gillian returns to her hometown with her life crumbling, determined to break the curse that has stripped her of her magical abilities. When she reunites with Nicky, an old lover and an artist in town, their passionate connection resurfaces, but both are burdened by their own curses. While the book featured a cute and passionate romance, it didn't captivate me as much as the first installment did. Gillian's relatability couldn't compensate for a lack of engagement in her POV compared to her sister Alex's. The story focused on Gillian's life problems, but the build-up in the romance felt somewhat rushed due to their prior history. Nevertheless, the book is a good romance with a strong female protagonist and will appeal to those who enjoy magical realism.

Review: The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

The Last Love Note by Emma Grey My rating: 3 of 5 stars In THE LAST LOVE NOTE by Emma Grey, I embarked on a journey filled with conflicting emotions. Despite my initial eagerness to delve deeper into the narrative, the unexpected weightiness of the prose caught me off guard. The narrative's frequent jumps in timeline, especially in audiobook format, proved disorienting and challenging to follow. However, Leeanna Walsman's narration was outstanding, rescuing the experience with her excellent delivery. The novel grapples with poignant themes, exploring the profound ideas of seizing life's moments and nurturing hope amid pain. Yet, occasional forced dialogue and slapstick humor felt incongruent with the somber tone. Nevertheless, the commendable growth of the characters and the author's skill in infusing joy and hope into a challenging narrative make it a worthwhile read. While my personal experience may differ, many readers have found this book highly enjoyable, so I e...

Review: Public Anchovy #1 by Mindy Quigley

Public Anchovy #1 by Mindy Quigley My rating: 4 of 5 stars In PUBLIC ANCHOVY #1 by Mindy Quigley, the delightful chaos of Geneva Bay's Deep Dish Mystery series unfolds in a Wisconsin pizzeria, blending suspense with humor. As pizza chef Delilah O'Leary navigates the challenges of winter slow season and a promising romance with detective Calvin Capone, a murder crashes a Prohibition-themed fundraiser. The story takes an unexpected turn, trapping Delilah, Capone, and her staff in a mansion for a thrilling game of cat and mouse with a desperate killer. Quigley's narrative mastery keeps readers guessing, and even with prior series knowledge recommended, the book stands as a gripping standalone. Returning to Delilah's world, I found the unpredictable mystery, coupled with the entertaining cat antics, a perfect blend of suspense and humor. ✏ Favourite quote: "It's not a weakness to feel things," I said. #bookstadog #poodlesofinstagram #doodlesofinstagram #fur...
