Good start to a series

Revisado: 03-08-25

I enjoyed the story overall, but am a little disappointed the MC was more naive than I’d hoped. The storyline was intriguing, each twist and turn kept me riveted, but as a reader I was a little annoyed with the perspective of Grady. However, the minor annoyances didn’t detract from the book as a whole and made sense to the overall progression of the plot. This is a good start to a new series and I’m curious to see how things turn out.

Brilliance strikes again!

Revisado: 03-06-25

I sincerely loved this book! Cara Bastone makes the most heart-melting and emotionally intelligent novels I’ve ever read!

The main character goes through one of the most world-shaking events that can hit a person: the loss of a loved one. Lenny is trying to find a way to live/have a life after the tragic death of her best friend. In the meantime, she works as a nanny, masking her grief and avoiding her family to make it through each day. Of course, this strategy isn’t cutting it. Lenny reluctantly accepts the help of Miles, uncle to the child she’s nannying, (who’s a self-proclaimed grief expert) to complete the List left by the best friend Lenny lost. This book is a rollercoaster of laugh-out-out moments and reflection on what it means to live. (Totally made it into my favorite top 5 books of all time!!!)

Side note: the narrator is AMAZING!

I did a lot of ugly-crying throughout this book, but I thoroughly enjoyed each moment of it. (Disclaimer: my opinion is slightly biased due to having lost people due to cancer). Now I’m going to hit replay and listen all over again. I can’t wait!!!

Quite the love letter

Revisado: 05-08-24

Wasn’t sure what to expect with this one, but knowing Bastone wrote it had me diving in. I was not disappointed! Once again, I feel like the story has left a residual feeling of empowerment and warmth in its wake. The story starts simple: girl gets pregnant from a one-night stand and her life gets complicated. THATS just the tip of the iceberg however! Complications inevitably arise and the plot takes a sweeter turn. Amidst the trials of pregnancy and changes, the main character must persevere and come to terms with her new reality. I loved this book and can’t wait to read Bastone’s next work!

Like a hug with mega dose of confidence

Revisado: 05-03-24

Not sure what it is about Bastone’s books, but I always feel like I’ve gotten a big hug after listening to them (and never get sick of re-listening). Also like I could take on the world, strangely enough. The story like in this latest novel was right up my alley, time travel, romance, conflict, it’s got it all! Well, I’m off to go re-listen to the Love Lines series once more while I await her next hit!

Wonderfully twisted

Revisado: 01-31-24

Wasn’t sure what to expect after the intro warning, but was ready for just about anything. I’m floored by how amazing this book was and am dying with laughter and too many emotions. Good emotions, of course. And I can’t wait for book two!!!

Another great Jacky Leon story!

Revisado: 11-17-23

There was a lot more at stake in this newest adventure for our favorite heroine. I teared up the most in this story to be honest and love how things turned out! Good for Jackie.

(Like most who’ve been listening to the books, I did find the change in Hassan’s name a little cringy. But I digress. )

I’m curious to see what Banet will bring us in the next book! The world of the Tribunal is so incredibly complex that I hope Banet will continue writing for years to come! That aside, her books never fail to entertain and entice the reader! Keep up the amazing work, K. N. Banet!

A promising start!

Revisado: 11-01-23

After the Kate Daniels series I wasn’t sure anything could measure up to my high expectations but I think I’ve found my new favorite series (hopefully there’s a book two soon!). Though some of the pronunciations were off I was able to listen happily and it didn’t detract grim the story. I’m waiting for book two!

Another great story by KN Banet!

Revisado: 10-11-23

This is the third series I’ve read from this author and love the dynamics for these characters! Never a dull moment in the lives of her characters, Everlys series has been another eye-opening book in the world of the tribunal. I can’t wait to see where this series will take us but an thoroughly enjoying the ride!

The Corsair Adventures Continue

Revisado: 07-22-23

I’m thrilled to have gotten this new perspective with Helen and Mathiras! It was interesting to have the female lead as something other than human or human/clone. After the last book, I was curious to see how their story (Helen and Mathiras) had taken such a sharp turn. As usual, Dixon didn’t let me down! Adventure, steam, and new experiences come in spades with this book!

As for the performance/voicing of the characters, I was a little apprehensive about Helen’s narration - but she is supposed to be other. Her voice is sweet and high, as her character description calls for. I think it just took a little getting used to.

All in all, this was a great book and I can’t wait for the next one!

Great Alien Rom-Com

Revisado: 07-20-23

The concept/plot for this series is interesting. The world Bell’s created is interesting and the characters are well-written! I can’t wait to see how the other books will turn out!
