April Wrap Up

It was a busy month this time around; in fact, I have two favourite books this month. One being In Isabeau’s Eyes by Lora Leigh and the other The Pleasures of Summer by Evie Hunter. Both the main characters in both books tugged at my heartstrings while making my cheeks heat from laughter and spice. I look forward to the next installment of the Kentucky Nights series by Lora Leigh when it is released. I even plan on reading the Nauti series that had some part to play in In Isabeau’s Eyes. I am slowly making my way through the Pleasures series by Evie Hunter. It is bigger than I initially thought, but I am enjoying it, and I am very much looking forward to Sinead’s book. Thanks to the authors mentioned above, I have two new book boyfriends: Tracker Calloway and Flynn Grant!

I did have one DNF (did not finish) book this month, Destined to Play by Indigo Bloom. This is the first DNF of the year and the first for me in a while. I usually push through and rarely give a book one star, but I had to stop at 100 pages. Consent started to feel very loose for me, and I could not continue. I was worried maybe it was just me being silly, but I flipped to the end, and consent was grey at best. Personally, I am not a fan of dubious consent or non-consent for that matter (dubcon/noncon).

What was your favourite book this month? Or did you have any DNF’s?

REVIEW: Cross Bones by Kathy Reichs

Rating: 3 out of 5.

TV Adaptation: (from the author that inspired) BONES

Cross Bones is the eighth book in the Temperance Brennan crime series by Kathy Reichs. Dr. Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist, has been called in to help with the mysterious death of an orthodox Jew, but the Holy Land calls when a stranger hands her a photo of an ancient skeleton, claiming it is connected to the man on her table. Another mystery added to another, wild theory after wild theory, and the questions keep growing as she, along with Detective Andrew Ryan, head to Israel. Does every question hold an answer, and who should be trusted with the little evidence Tempe holds?
