Liar City: A Novel by Allie Therin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

LIAR CITY is the first book in a new LGBTQ fantasy series entitled Sugar & Vice by Allie Therin. The book follows the story of Reece, an empath who receives anonymous calls warning him that his detective sister, Jamey, is in danger. The calls are from Grayson, also known as The Dead Man, a government agent rumored to deal exclusively in cases involving empathy. As the two dig deeper into the gruesome murder of an anti-empathy senator, they find themselves embroiled in a dangerous web of secrets and lies that puts Reece and Jamey's lives in jeopardy. The plot is well-crafted, and the characters are vividly drawn, with Reece and Grayson's partnership providing an intriguing dynamic. Overall, LIAR CITY is a fast-paced and exciting read that will appeal to fans of crime thrillers and urban fantasy. The novel's unique blend of supernatural elements and crime drama make it a standout in its genre. I am looking forward to the next book and seeing where Reece and Grayson's relationship will go.

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: A Storm of Infinite Beauty by Julianne MacLean

A Storm of Infinite Beauty by Julianne MacLean My rating: 3 of 5 stars A STORM OF INFINITE BEAUTY by Julianne MacLean left me with mixed feelings. While the premise of Scarlett Fontaine's mysterious life and the connection to Gwen Hollingsworth promised intrigue, the execution fell short. The dual timelines, spanning from Valdez, Alaska in 1963 to Nova Scotia in 2017, lacked a seamless transition, leaving me more captivated by the historical narrative. The portrayal of Gwen and Peter's relationship felt awkward, particularly in discussing Gwen's past with Eric. The narrative, resembling women's fiction, could have thrived as a focused exploration of the Valdez earthquake, bypassing the disjointed present-day plot. Despite its shortcomings, Maclean's descriptive prose crafts vivid settings, from a lush vineyard to a rustic Alaska lodge, making it a worthwhile read for those seeking a scenic journey with a touch of family mystery. ✏ Favourite quote: "I mean, w...
