Hate complaining about narrators
Reviewed: 01-02-25
…but if you’ve decided to switch to a new one in the middle of a series (odd choice), at the very least try to have some continuity in the characters voice. All of Joyce’s chapters are done in a strange stage whisper. While that choice would have been fine, if it started out that way, doing it in the 3rd book seems like a lack of quality control. Plus, whomever did the audio levels didn’t bother to increase the sound for the whispering - so you have to turn it up for the whisper, then back down when the whispers end.
The story is great. Love the way the characters interact. They are my mother’s age and I love to imagine she is solving crime with her neighbors instead of watching too much tv. These books have a funny, witty mystery, but are also just so sweet. They leave you feeling good about the world. Something we can all use right now.
I hope they figure out how to fix the narration issue - but the story is worth it either way. Just a joy to listen to.

Amber Patterson is fed up. She's tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more - a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted. To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne - a socialite and philanthropist - and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale. Amber's envy could eat her alive...if she didn't have a plan.

Too much SA
Reviewed: 09-28-24
We get it. He is a horrible person. You don’t have to write 10000 scenes of SA to prove it. It’s too much. This book would be so much better without it.

After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.

When Jane, an aspiring writer, meets filmmaker John Bridges, they both want the same things: to be in love, to live a successful, creative life, and to be happy. When they marry, Jane believes she has found everything she was looking for, including—a few years later—all the attendant joys and labors of motherhood. But it’s not long until Jane finds herself subsumed by John’s ambitions, whims, and ego; in short, she becomes a wife.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 117
Studies show that nearly 70 percent of divorces are initiated by women—women who are tired, fed up, exhausted, and unhappy. We’ve all seen how the media portrays divorcées: sad, lonely, drowning their sorrows in a bottle of wine. Lyz Lenz is one such woman whose life fell apart after she reached a breaking point in her twelve-year marriage. But she refused to take part in that tired narrative and decided to flip the script on divorce.

So much more than a biography,, more than a manifesto about feminism. Astory of friendship. A story of loving yourself. A story of motherhood. I sent a copy to my best friend half way through. Just a wonderful book. <3
PS Lyz has a substack. It’s also phenomenal!

I honestly don’t get the reviews saying it’s just the same content over again. It’s fun hearing the other side. Though I still want to stab Cass right along with Poppy. Even more than she does sometimes. And hearing his side does tell us things we didn’t know in the first book. Plus, the new stuff (that is REALLY new) is so good! Can’t wait till the next book. Yay!

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College-Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Is she smart, or is she stupid?
Reviewed: 01-05-24
The first book was pretty good. A bit trope-y, a bit too many "his beautiful smile, his gorgeous lips". You can just kiss each other, you know. Everything doesn't have to be a world ending tongue battle.
One of my favorite things about the first was that Vi was constantly underestimated and overcame many things by outthinking others. As a disabled person I really identified with the idea that when you are in pain all the time, you can often take more pain than others. You learn how to partition it off, so it doesn't make you stop functioning, like it would for a person who doesn't really have pain all the time. I loved how she conquered the gauntlet by thinking up another way to get to the top - using her brain!
Why then is she constantly an idiot in this book? At a most basic level, why on earth would you consider eating or drinking anything from others when she has been poisoned once recently? That's just one example - she does it all the time! Why would she stand in the courtyard with an important book in the wrong color bag? These are not believable mistakes if you think of the girl from the first book. Either she is smart - in which case you have to come up with other ways for her to have conflict - or she is an idiot - and you have to quit crowing about how smart she is.
I, for one, hope she will manage to come back to having a brain in the next book. If not, I will not be able to keep reading. A smart woman who can get past most pain and think through most complex problems - THAT is interesting. Another pretty, dumb girl who gets benefits because she is the generals daughter? I've read too many books about that already.
I beg the author - please bring back smart Vi again?

Hazel Sinnett is alone and half-convinced the events of the year before—the immortality, Beecham’s vial—were a figment of her imagination. She doesn’t even know if Jack is alive or dead. All she can really do now is treat patients and maintain Hawthornden Castle as it starts to decay around her. When saving a life leads to her arrest, Hazel seems doomed to rot in prison until a message intervenes: Hazel has been specifically requested to be the personal physician of Princess Charlotte, the sickly granddaughter of King George III.

Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.
