Tredding Lightly into a New Podcast

Revisado: 11-29-22

I really hate when men refer to women as "females" it's a red flag to me. As a woman who enjoys the podcast I'm doing my best to ignore it because I realpy appreciate their dedication to the stories they tell with little interruptions. No tangents and good respectful observances of the victims. In this episode specifically I really didn't like the disgust in the main speakers voice when he said "What is wrong with WOMEN." This was when he was addressing the masses of peoples who gain this weird obsessions over serial killers.

Doing what I can to keep listening because these two are respectful (for the most part) and really do great covering facts/topics. They are human and will learn and grow as they keep producing I believe. Supporting unless more internalized sexism comes out. I believe in you boys! Going to keep trucking through your content! I really do think you'll do better after these earlier episodes I've been through with the feedback I'm sure you've received already 🙏

Wonderful Twist be Prepared for Some Slow Verbage

Revisado: 10-28-22

I found the book very pleasant to listen to, wonderful performances! The twist is a MUST to hear but then ending left me wanting. Not that the closure wasn't there, just a little anticlimactic.

I listened to the interview with the author so I know he wanted to spend time with a lot of the characters. But some of it was so drawn out, I think, at times anyway.

Wonderful twist for sure though! Glad I bought it. 4/5 ⭐️

Could Not Stop Listening; Jennette Thank You

Revisado: 09-26-22

I can tell this wasn't written for the fame, God McCurdy for sure makes you know that, this was a book wrapped in pain that needed an out. I'm happy Jennette found this as her out, though I know the pain she feels kind of will never go away. But that's fine, it'll be a reminder to her as she goes on that her decisions up to this point were the right ones.

A good book that helps people with trauma, or the PTSD of having emotionally unavailable/unaware or plain abusive parent really feel less alone.

Talk to someone. Go to therapy, get help.

Thanks for the read Jennette. Thanks for sharing the deepest parts of you for people who need to here it to help kickstart their own self-help lifelines.

Great Retelling of a Horrible Tragedy

Revisado: 09-15-22

Do NOT read if your are faint of heart. The very true crime story of Sylvia Likens is a heart breaking and disturbing one. 💔

I think the author did a tremendous amount of work and research into this case (besides actually being present during its proceedings), and a tasteful retelling of a story that needed to be known. Sylvia deserves to have her story told.

My only gripe is a personal one; too much lead-in to the court room setup. I understand this is an important part of the story and Sylvia's justice. But it really is just the introductions of the attorneys, judge, and jury that is too drawn out for my liking. Very dry. I found myself wanting to skip ahead but decided against it.

Besides this later part in the book, it picks right back up with a heart jolting description of testimonials and juror interactions. Very good read, I do recommend to my true crime fanatics! 👍

A Courageous Story; Signifies Bravery and Strength

Revisado: 09-14-20

I found myself understanding why this story needs to be told, though it was hard to sit through due to it's horrible contents of abuse. These girls have quite literally been through hell. Their story needs to be heard over and over. Shelly should never be forgiven, never be allowed to see the light of day. 2022 is too soon for such a demon.

Yikes

Revisado: 02-18-20

This was the final book in the series for me, and like before I thoroughly enjoyed the modern spin on my favorite Greek myths! However...the whole strong black woman who hates being white/ belittles everything about the situation in regards to being white was so obnoxious and shoved down the readers throat. We get it PC, you want the audience to know you're not only writing about white girls (and failing).

Also, GREEKS WERENT WHITE. So there were some real fucking bigoted statements I didn't quite agree with. Jackie was my favorite character but to me it felt like another white Author attempting to shove a token strong black character into a book with (but of course) the white girl as the lead. Hell even "white" Athena (not white PC...) had more romance development than Jackie. Overall disappointed with this book. I love PC Cast and her works but this one was just too ignorant in my opinion...could of been fine without it.

Venus and Griffin stole my heart!

Revisado: 07-24-19

The main character "P" was a relatable character, but the often narrow way she kept thinking about men made me a tad agitated. Having standards are fine, but I hate when women bash normal men who arent perfectly built and dump them off as undateable. Anyway! The story was amazing and filled with steamy romance, Venus is by far my favorite character, absolutely confident and hilarious.
