O Rei de Amarelo by Robert W. Chambers
3.5
Gostei muuuuito mais das histórias iniciais do livro com a pegada de horror/terror. As últimas, com foco em Paris e no romance, não foram pra mim.
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore
mysterious
2.5
The mysteries were very interesting, but the split timeline and the multiple POVs really didn't work for me. I also found some decisions made by characters to be incredibly stupid.
Dead Voices by Katherine Arden
adventurous
dark
fast-paced
4.0
Another fun read! Still very much enjoyed the overall atmosphere and, this time around, the winter-y setting and Coco's perspective/character development.

This very much didn't work for me. I'm not sure why Lyons loves to drop readers into an ongoing scene with a bunch of characters and names thrown around with little to no explanation in the opening of books. This made it very hard to connect to characters to the point I wasn't at all interested in the plot. Considering this is a standalone, I'm not willing to put in the time to see if there will be enough character development to win me over and make me feel something towards the story.

The dynamic here is really squicking me and I'm not going to force myself to continue the book. I also expected way more paranormal/supernatural/dark stuff than what we got so far.

There Is No Ethan: How Three Women Caught America's Biggest Catfish by Anna Akbari
No rating. I'm unsatisfied since this is one of those stories that has no ending/resolution because no one was punished.
Winter Lost by Patricia Briggs

medium-paced

Making a note that the plot was good, but the interludes didn't quite work for me.
Sherwood and Warren, however? LOVED THEM.

Hopeless by Elsie Silver

This was all great and I was having fun and then the last third happened with the misspeaking and misunderstanding and jumping to conclusions and that was a wrap for me.
