Kamila Knows Best by Farah Heron

Kamila Knows BestKamila Knows Best by Farah Heron
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one started off a little slow for me, but I am really glad I kept going as I fell in love with Kamila and Rohan. The narrator did a great job bringing everything together. I also loved the addition of the sound effects for certain parts like the text chains.
Initially the author made Rohan come off as much older than Kamila. It was almost like he was her dad’s best friend. The talk about his age and his salt and pepper facial hair made it seem like it was going to be a large age gap. It was not as Rohan is only five years older than Kamila.
As I said earlier, this started off a little slow for me. However; I was devouring every scene between Kamila and Rohan and was loving their friendship. They were what kept me reading. I just loved their chemistry and the friends to lovers vibes that we were getting.
I loved the additional culture aspects of the story as well.
Mental health is touched on lightly but never goes into too much detail.
Overall, I really enjoyed this and thought it was super cute.

The Perfect Girlfriend by Karen Hamilton

The Perfect GirlfriendThe Perfect Girlfriend by Karen Hamilton
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I started this on a road trip and should have stayed with my initial feelings around this one. This started off pretty good, but as soon as the prologue was over, it lost me. This was so slow. There was absolutely nothing happening. I was going to DNF, but listened to so much of everything that I thought something huge was about to happen. However; it just dragged and dragged. It veered off on some side stories that did not bring anything to the main plot and did not add any excitement. I was expecting the ending to blazing, and it was also very tame. The story also just ends. There is really no resolution at all.

I should have stuck with my initial thoughts and DNF this one. Sadly, it was not for me.

The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware

The Woman in Cabin 10The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I do not know why, but this seemed much longer than it really was. I normally read a book within a day or two, and this one took me over a week to get through.

It started off pretty strong, but there were so many things that happened that had nothing to do with anything as the story went on. There were also some things discussed that I would have liked to see developed more.

I was not a huge fan of the second half of this story. I was losing interest and just kept pushing through since I was so far along.

Deviant by Sheridan Anne

Deviant (Boys of Winter #3)Deviant by Sheridan Anne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have been wanting to read something from Sheridan Anne for a while now as several of her series have been on my wish list. I was so excited to jump into The Boys of Winter series as I have heard so many amazing things. I have now read books 1-3 and I am not disappointed.

This is unlike anything I have ever read before. It is not going to be for the weak of heart. If you also do not love multiple love interests, this will not be for you. Triggers for sex trafficking, adult content, and more.

Books two and three are just as quick to listen to on audio as book one. I flew through them. The narrator makes it very easy to listen to these on a faster speed which I loved.

Like the others, this picks up right where we ended in the previous book. I feel the same about this one as I did books one and two. There is so much going on and everything is over the top. I would have liked to keep things a little more realistic. I still do not connect the ages of the characters with everything going on either.

The ending on this one will have you questioning what is going to happen and how everything is going to end.

Deity by Sheridan Anne

Deity (Boys of Winter #4)Deity by Sheridan Anne
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I have been wanting to read something from Sheridan Anne for a while now as several of her series have been on my wish list. I was so excited to jump into The Boys of Winter series as I have heard so many amazing things. If you start this series, each book ends in a major cliff hanger which will leave you wanting to read more.


This is unlike anything I have ever read before. It is not going to be for the weak of heart. If you also do not love multiple love interests, this will not be for you. Triggers for sex trafficking, adult content, and more. I personally find that I would have preferred only one interest or her to fade out to one. That is just me though and wanting to see more of a connection between the characters.

Like the others, this was just too over the top for me. I was irritated when things would be so tense, they would be too scared to move but have time for intimate scene. I know this is supposed to steamy, but I just did not connect with all of that. I also did not understand how killing the “main person” just ended things. She had armies of men storming all of the time. There are so many more layers than just one person leading the attacks.

This ends in a cliff hanger as well! You can make up the ending on your own really, but now I need to know!

Overall, this was a fun series and I am happy I gave it a go.

Damaged picks up right where book one leaves off. I am glad there is no build up and we jumped right back into the action. I did feel the first half of this one was a little repetitive from the first book. However; the second half was packed with different twists. So much was happening and there were some really sad parts.

Just like book one, this ends a huge cliff hanger. I am glad I have book three to jump into next.
