Pretty standard Katee Robert monster romance. Kept me entertained for an evening, but likely won't be lasting.
Love the consistent and casual queer rep in all her books.
As a STEM girly this book was FOR me. It checked every box. I laughed, I cried, I cursed the old boys club.
I think this one is more approachable for those that haven't lived the ‘woman in a male dominated field” life, particularly those people pleasers out there.
Steamy, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers. What more do you need out of a book?
This was a cute continuation of the Ponto Beach series. It's technically a standalone but I think having the background of the other characters helped. I'm not a huge fan of second chance romance but I think this one was done well. Bonus points for exploring the adult/parent relationships on both sides.
The first 20% or so took a bit to get into, but after that I flew through this book. This series is such a fun concept and I'm excited to see where it goes from here. I also appreciate the level of cliffhanger in this book too. Like she left the door open to write more but I wouldn't be upset if she didn't.
I have very mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I originally picked this book up on a very bad day and the few pages I had read didn't really motivate me to pick it up again. On the other hand, I don't have to worry about wanting to read this book again bc I won't. This book isn't horror and I don't know why it was classified as horror, it's a mystery at best. And I've read General Fiction that has more mystery than this one did. Like sure there was a monster and some spooky visions but I don't think that's enough to classify it as a horror. Parts of the book seemed to be making a commentary on the cycle of violence, drug abuse, and poverty that many Native Americans experience. But other parts of the book just seemed overly stereotypical. And there was definitely a missed opportunity on the AIM. Idk the second half of the book kept me engaged but I'm not convinced it was worth it.
Also, the FBI figuring out the murderer based purely on a FOIA request is a bit unbelievable.
I really need to start reading the backs of books.
This was what I thought Honey Girl was going to be. More romance than mid life crisis. I loved all the romance elements and it didn't have the miscommunication trope, so brownie points for that
I was truly trying to decide if this was non-fiction before they said the year. What a fascinating concept, I'd definitely read a longer version of this one
It was fine. I put it down a couple times and didn't have a strong desire to pick it back up again. Not my favorite of the series.
The ending is definitely polarizing, but sometimes we all need a book with an undefined ending. This was more psychological thriller than I was expecting, but I liked it
This one was cute! Less romance than I was expecting but I love a FMC that breaks the rules.
Loosely murder mystery mostly smutty romance. I think it's my favorite Tessa Bailey so far.
A fun action/mystery with older ladies as the main characters. The killer reveal at the end wasn't shocking but I enjoyed the end anyway.
Honestly the best executed love interest dies at the end and comes back to life I've ever read. 10/10 no notes
I really don't know why this particular style of romance works so well for me but this is definitely now a comfort fic. Not particularly spicy, but all the slow burn.
A fascinating look at one of America's first popular/well-publicized psychopathic killers. I'd never heard of him before. I enjoyed the comparisons to the more modern era serial killers to put the story in more context. The cultural & historical context was also critical to this story which was explained in an engaging way.
