TheBookHippie I love a good pan! 1d

itsjustme40something Its been a long time since a book was so bad I was pissed, but it was so bad and messy, it was like 3 different genres and non were done well and the twist was beyond stupid. But having the character justify and make excuses for the guy who raped her....hard nah 24h

Pure | Jennifer L. Armentrout

so-so

Good recap at the beginning, which helped it‘d been a while since I read book 1. There was little action in book 2 until the end. Focus was the love triangle (love corner)& I don‘t like either option:the one she‘s fated to against her will or the forbidden love she wants
Alex has more time with her would be bfs because she‘s flunking training but then seriously injures someone with an apple, takes out trained guards & mythical beings

it‘s just 🙄

The Undetectables | Courtney Smyth

so-so

I'm not sure now that I've finished it that it was worth it.

Things I liked: lots of queerness, Mallory's fibro, the closeness of the main characters, the platonic love between Mallory and Theodore. Forensic science on magic.

Things I didn't like: it felt kinda of... young? The concerns of the trio of girls were very teenage. The real clues started to become so obvious. Obnoxious monologuing to explain a load of tortured clues.

shanaqui It was *okay*, just... I want more than okay for 2h30m of investment (probably more than that for a lot of people; I'm a relatively fast reader).

I'm close to my #BookSpinBingo blackout, anyway! 2d

I am determined to finish this tonight, but I have to pause to scream and clear my mind about how obviously they have the wrong culprit.

Lover Mine: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood | J.R. Ward

This is one of my favorites in the series. I love John Matthew and was so happy we finally got his and Xhex's story. Sometimes the subplots can over power the main plot but not this time. I also liked that we found out more about Xhex, Darius and Thorment. Still a lot of threads that I know we will follow as the series progresses. This was 5⭐️s for me. #BDB #BDBBuddyRead #BDBBookClub

TheSpineView Did you think this wrapped up some unanswered questions appropriately? It seems like it took the other brothers hundreds of years to find their partner. Do you feel John is a bit young, especially considering the Vampire lifespan? I also wondered if Xhex being only 1/2 vampire, would her blood be strong enough to sustain John? Your thoughts? @julesG @ShananigansReads @InkedBookworm13 2d

ShananigansReads I had completely forgotten the Thor/Darius part. I have more questions but about different characters. This world just gets more and more involved. I don‘t think the age gap between JM and Xhex is any different than the other brothers and their Shellens. 2d

julesG @ShananigansReads The "age gap" is just the other way round this time. 2d

julesG The way I understand the blood thing is that vampire blood contains something that human blood doesn't. Xhex isn't a human, she's part vampire and part 'vampire adjacent' - sympaths(sp?) feed off each other too, don't they? Beth is a half-vampire, but she can feed Wrath without problems. Same goes for John, he's a half-vampire and Xhex doesn't have a problem with his blood. 2d

julesG The Murdher/Eliahu Rathboone subplot was unnecessary. It gave Xhex closure in the end when she found out that Murdher was still alive. Yet, it distracted from the main plot since up to that closure point it just didn't make sense or fit into the story. 2d

InkedBookworm13 @TheSpineView I don't think he's too young. Thor found Wellsie right away. She fed him during his transition so it definitely happens. I do think Xhex being half sympath effects her blood though. I know with Wrath he has to feed from full blooded Vampires sometimes when he's really hurt because Beth's blood isn't enough. 2d

The Black Dagger Brotherhood: An Insider's Guide | J. R. Ward

So apparently this series is being adapted and this is a promo picture? I honestly don't know if it's fake. It's really giving 2005 fanedit

If it's real I'm gonna watch the hell out of it because it looks terrible

ETA: Maybe not, the production company is owned by Tosca Musk (Elon Musk's sister) and she shares some of his beliefs

ShananigansReads It‘s not fake. The casting is terrible. I‘m just praying they can actually act. 3d

PuddleJumper @ShananigansReads I actually don't know if that is better or worse 😅 It looks so 2000s and cheap. 3d

ShananigansReads I‘m very scared, but I‘m still going to watch. 2d

PuddleJumper @ShananigansReads I'll watch through gifs on Tumblr, might help with the cringe. I'm surprised at how low key it's been. I haven't heard of the production company before though so maybe they haven't done any international releases 2d

The Dead and the Dark | Courtney Gould

so-so

I liked that this book went in a different direction with the paranormal aspect. I liked the characters for the most part. It was atmospheric, but sometimes it would get a little heavy on describing the atmosphere when I really needed something to happen. I also wanted a little more of a bread crumb trail to what was happening instead of just all at the end. I enjoyed the build-up, and this one felt slow, then info dump at the end. 3/5
