To be quite honest I have no idea what I listened to. I loved the idea and concept of a retelling of Alice in Wonderland, and that there was a queer twist to it. There was just so much going on, nothing made sense and I hope that was due to us needing to know something we didn't know yet. But then the book was done and I felt I had more questions than answers. I didn't hate the listen but I don't know if I quite understood the half of it either. I still gave it a four rating because this whole reimagining of the story was so thought-out and so otherworldly I have to give the author props.

I enjoyed this story tremendously. The story had so much heart and tragedy mix in with the lore of Ireland. Having a past and future look into a period of time through the eyes of a woman who had also gone through so much. I was dedicated to know what happened to not only Anna but Sarah too! I wanted to say each time the woman encountered something other worldly “I do believe in faeries! I do! I do!)

This book was full of twists and turns. The story at its heart is about how rich people think they can do whatever they want and ruin people’s lives and think there will be no consequences. In this book the consequences were rough. There were a few parts that were hard to get through. Rough topics but all in all the ride was intense and left me feeling satisfied with how it ended.

It’s been a hot second since the first book came out so getting into this book was a bit hard in the beginning. I was trying to remember who was who and what had happened in the last book. Luckily as the story got into full force the author gave us insights to the last book to help with my memory. The story was interesting and very sleuth-y. I like the idea of what Verasity does and is, especially in this AI world we live in. The way it was left makes me think k another book is coming. When that will be who knows but I’ll be there when it does. The characters are full of life and some mysterious. I’m really rooting for Claudia and Becks but I dunno maybe that will change with this Dream character coming into play. All in all very good story for the second book, medium paced.

Another wonderful story with my two favorites. I loved that this story had them following pirates and going on their adventure to find the dragon eggs. I'm hoping for the 3rd installment I get to see some of the new characters we met along the way in this story. Serena the pirate and Bobby the constable, what fun characters. Each had a backstory that made them even more relatable and likable. This cozy adventure continues in the third book, and I will most definitely be there to cheer everyone on.

I throughly enjoyed the world building in this book. The mythology and religious aspects of this book were intriguing and a really cool way to look at them. The characters were great and really pulled me in making me want more. I couldn’t put the book down. The spice level for this is 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 5/5. This book had me blushing 😊 and I loved it. Book two is almost out and I’m looking forward to see what’s going to happen with Marlow and Caliban. Fauna is a super fun character and I really enjoyed Azramus character interactions with Fauna and Marlow. Each have their own special interactions. I really hope to get to know more about him and fauna.

Im a huge fan of novellas. A whole world put in something compact. This is the first book I’ve read of Piper Cj and I’m sure I’m going to like the next one I dive into. For this story I love how Narya takes back what she lost and creates this world around her with fierce women. The love between her and Kit was fun, spicy and savage. The spice level for this read was most definitely
