A Disgraceful Affair: Stories by Fyodor Dostoevsky
4.0
Just finished reading White Nights out of this collection (the main reason I got it (in the future, I plan to read the others)).
I won’t lie when I say this was out of my element, it took a lot to get in the head space of this writing.
But once we hit the drama… SO. GOOD.
was it worth it? I think so.

I've never read An Ember in the Ashes and picked this book up from a library sale on a whim!
I'm so glad I did because now I want to read the whole series!

Grimoire Noir by Vera Greentea

This was everything I could have asked for in a graphic novel.
I’m keeping this and rereading it every fall. It’s decided.

The art in here was fantastic!
I've never read Dracula before and this was a great introduction!
I look forward to reading the actual book in the future.

Evil in Me by Brom
3.0
dear god... what did I just read?
The narration made this all the more creepy. Wow, I don't know what I expected going into this, but it certainly wasn't what I got.
This was a lot more brutal than I preferred and I had to force myself to keep listening. If this wasn't an audiobook I don't know if I could have kept going.
PROS:
The storyline was compelling and the world-building was easy to follow. If you're looking to get creeped out and intrigued, this book is for you. The characters were excellent and I wanted them to win! *even the demons*
CONS: The music portions of this audiobook were pretty tough to listen to, especially when I prefer to listen at 2x speed. I had to slow it down for those portions which made everything drag.
The gore aspect of it was not my cup of tea and was almost gross for the sake of being gross. The narrator would switch sometimes midway through the chapter. There were a few times I had to jump back to understand what was going on.
Honestly, can't tell if I liked this or hated it. All I know is that I'm glad it's over.
3⭐️ (since I have no clue how to feel)
Thank you, NetGalley for the advanced reader's copy of Evil In Me by Brom!
