panI'm so glad I took my own advice and got the Audiobook for the second installment of D.O.D.O
This felt like a totally different book from the first. All the characters I came to care for were either not there at all, or pushed aside so much that they became inconsequential.
I didn't like the new character, and it felt like we only ever travelled to one place - one I didn't care for.
And the ending was such a disappointment I can't even...
Starting this today…it‘s been on my shelf for ages. I doubt I‘ll finish it by the end of the month, so it should give me a head start on July‘s #bookspinbingo board!

pick61/100 Simon R. Green is my favorite author. Including this audiobook, I've read 53 of his novels. This isn't close to his best work, but it is still quite fun. Four D-List celebrities join a ghost hunting show, and find themselves locked in a haunted hall where they must spend the night. At first it's all creepy noises and sudden lights going out, no one is sure if it's real or just put on by the show's producer, but then one of the ⬇️⬇️
pick60/100 Book 2 of The Hot War trilogy. Like most middle books, not a lot happens, the plot is moved forward a little, and sets up the conclusion for the final novel. The various POVs, from both sides of the war, is the main point of interest. Some lives get better, some get worse, but the war is seen from all angles, both military and civilian. Onward to the concluding volume, Armistice. 4.5 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025
pick#serieslove2025 Although slower than the first book, the ending made up for it. I‘m enjoying this murder mystery fantasy- I love the setting and friendships just as much as the love story. Good thing I have the next in the series ready to go. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
