December 2025 Book #2

Not as good as the first one. As we saw in the first book, it has all these gossip interaction through emails or texts creating a confusing situation. Humorous tone like the first one. For a novella, wI think it was good because the is a plot development and a good closure. Are we going to see a sequel? 🤔

December 2025 Book #1

I have different editions and I am only in book 3🤦🏽‍♀️Those of you ,who have read my reaction to this series, know that I see a little strange that relationship between Eve Dallas and Roarke, I think he, in some way, try to control Eve, and she, is in someway, is vulnerable, which means for me, that there is a control there,. Anyway, thats my perception as a reader. Most people love Roarke. But I enjoy this book. ⬇️

Gissy (Cont) It seems Dallas is going to take a big step in her relationship with Roarke but then occurred this brutal murder and she prioritized her job. The story has funny scenes and dramatic ones like those with Eve and her traumatic past experience😢Even when it was interesting , I noticed some procedures unrealistic, not accurate due to conflict of interest in her participation. Did I say unrealistic? 🤔Are we seeing something like⬇ (edited) 5m
Gissy (Cont.) that, now, in some “poltical world”?🤔Never mind, back to the story. Based on some legal aspects related with my past work, it could be expected not see that involvement due to conflict of interest, there…it sounds better. Well, it has a good ending because you want to know what is going to happen in that relationship…tan..tan..tan..tan…3.5/3.8⭐️ now

November 2025 #Book #6 last book read that mont

That cozy cover but it didn‘t work for me. I found this story so boring🤷🏽‍♀️Romances are not my favorite genre but I can enjoy them, like if they are part of a good story or when they happen in other genres. I‘m seeing lately that those supposedly “spicy” novels don‘t work well for me. Novel has more pages describing this forced, bad constructed” scenes that I just get bored in the middle⬇️

Gissy (Cont) of the “action”😳😂😂😂But the reason is that I feel that some authors just force those scenes, don‘t have content to continue with a good plot/drama/action. If there is a good plot or character driven story, then those scenes would be delightful. Even if the tone of the novel is humorous. Didn‘t happen in this one, at least I didn‘t perceive it 🥱2⭐️ 46m

November 2025 Book #5

Sadie gets worry when her husband isn‘t return from a job trip. With a snowstorm coming, alone in her isolated house and only knowing a person in the area, Sadie starts to investigate what happened to her husband. During phone calls and house searching she discover that her husband has many secrets. Now she sees someone approaching the house, hiding outside. What happened in her husband‘s life? What are these secrets? ⬇️

Gissy (Cont) Is Sadie in danger? Well, a thriller with some good twist but executed in a “okay” way🙄Sadie made bad choices, and her reaction to danger situations are odd? I don‘t know but it has hopeful ending. I just think it was ok, meh🤷🏽‍♀️2.8/3⭐️ 1h
Gissy But I like the cover😂

November 2025 Book #4

Well, it took me 2 years to read this one. As I say, I will read the book, eventually. I can‘t help it, I‘m a slow, mood reader who get distracted by other books🥹🤷🏽‍♀️😔
Wow, I really like this novel with all those unlikable characters and dysfunctional family dynamics. If you hate so much those characters, well I think then that author made her job. Of course, it has a great premise and plot based on real event⬇️

Gissy (Cont) It is a sad story😢I just thought those situations are still happening. Persons that take financial advantage from persons with disabilities. Of course in that time, the law was more conservative and in favor of male spouses. I read some information related with the real case which inspired the author to write this novel. So sad💔A novel that describes pretty well those antisocial/psychopath personality traits. 4.5⭐️ 1h
LeahBergen Yes! This was a powerful read, wasn‘t it? 1h

November 2025 Book #3

I made an incorrect comment when I was reviewing The hacienda😳I already corrected it. I mentioned that there was an attempt of a forbidden romance, but is in this novel where that incident happens🤦🏽‍♀️Both novels have the same gothic atmosphere and tone. I liked this one too. This author was added my favorite author list. The story has a slow pace and it takes a couple of pages until I was immersed in the story⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) I also like her books covers😍Again, I read the physical book with audiobooks and really liked it, so much drama😂The “horror” part, it was okay. I found more interesting the drama🙄and she is so good describing a good gothic atmosphere. 4⭐️ 2h

November 2025 Book #1

There is a movie adaptation of this book, it is not bad but I highly recommend to read the book first. This is a slow pace character driven story. The book August character, is so different of the the movie one, the actor is good but not same. In the book you will understand better that great twist at the end😱Maybe there was a sensation that the story was dragged out after the half part but then…the twist⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) starts to reveal the truth behind the murders…tan..tan..tan..tan…But the movie is so good in presenting that dark, mysterious, gothic atmosphere. I enjoyed it as you can see…I love character driven novels…😍4/4.5⭐️and I like that edition cover, giving a vintage look, stained with blood😳 3h
