Sexist rhetoric

Revisado: 05-23-24

After listening to the main character calling a woman a bitch and several other rude comments, the last straw was when he suggested one of the women with him do a more impressive display in order to get a truck to stop. Not to mention the women were portrayed as annoying and dense. Yuck. I didn’t make it past the second chapter.

I’m giving the series a chance

Revisado: 03-12-24

I really want to like this. It has all of the markers of stories I would like but I feel like I missed something either there is a book before or the author doesn’t do a good job with her back story. It leaves you a little disconnected from the characters. I like the narrator though so I’m going to give it a chance. Also side note, hoping the whiny Oliver gets over himself.

Too many plot holes

Revisado: 01-29-24

The story is leaking like my dish strainer. The author does that thing where she makes her characters ask dumb questions to advance the plot. But when she’s maintaining one of her characters is a dr and the other a pepper you expect them to have some intelligence. Also they make incredibly stupid choices. I read one and two and they had similar problems but I was hoping they would get better. (It’s been known to happen) I love the prepping and apocalyptic genre. Just could no longer stand the plot holes.

The old ass men lusting after a 14 year old stood out for me the most.

Revisado: 01-07-24

I loved the books with Mac. Barons allowed her freedom to make mistakes and I loved that. In this book the man you believe will eventually be her end game is super controlling while simultaneously putting her in danger over and over with what’s seems to be very little regard. While Christian is just constantly lusting after her and the ick is just too much. Gross. Moning should have done better. This was in poor taste.
But…. Ima do a quick search of the next book. If a good decade hasn’t passed and Danny hasn’t grown way up. I might have to abandon this one.

Toxic AF

Revisado: 04-05-23

Just going to leave what I wrote my daughter about this book right here. Maybe someone can relate. : I’m reading this book and in my book this guy just had a huge violent tantrum then cried around about how he can’t control it and he had a bad day and he loves her and he’s supposed to be the hero of this toxic ass book and I’m mad that I can’t return it because I know too much now to even enjoy this trash and I hate that. I mean not really but part me wishes I was my dumbass unhealthy self again so I could enjoy a good old fashioned toxic romance . 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😵‍💫
The narrator was ok but a good deal over dramatic.

Fun and interesting but lacking some editing. Excellent narration.

Revisado: 03-24-23

This book was fun and interesting but….. the author over used the word “wildly” as and adjective. Someone was always wildly doing or feeling something. I should have counted it was that excessive. Over use of a single word is a big pet peeve of mine so it may not bother others. Also, there wasn’t much chemistry between the heroin and her love interest. It was mostly unbelievable. The heroin is also obtuse about some things. If you’re going to make a smart feminine heroin I’m all for it! But don’t insult our intelligence by making them intentionally stupid about other things. It’s unbelievable and makes the character less likable. Otherwise this series has a lot of potential, an original concept that could be really fun.

Confusing

Revisado: 03-16-23

This is book two and it doesn’t give any back story. And I thought the the story teller was a man because the narrator is a man. 😆 I give up.

The narration was 🔥 the story a 0

Revisado: 12-12-22

This book is about a bunch of jerks. While I love a good steamy romance this book seems like some young thugs day dream fantasy. Definitely not for the woman’s gaze. 🤢

Definitely worth listening too!!

Revisado: 12-02-22

I can’t decide if I loved the book or just the narrator. The narration is so good that I loved listening to this book. I was thrilled to find a new twist on the age old good witch-bad witch story. It was interestingly developing. Some of the characters would have benefited from more depth. Actually most could have been better developed. But still I am intrigued and plan to buy the next book. ♥️ have to find out what happened to Nathan and Gabriel. 😍

Trigger warning for domestic abuse

Revisado: 11-27-22

It feel irresponsible to discuss dv situations like this. The supposed reducer hero of Archers mother seems as sketchy as the abuser.
