“Long Live Evil”by Sarah Rees Brenna

**sorry I didn’t take a picture of the book so I had to grab a screenshot of it**

There will be spoilers!!

So I read this book in a day, there was multiple times where I just wanted to close the book and forget about it. It’s not a good book. The premise “dying person transmigrating into the body of a villainess doomed to die by her ex-lovers’ hands and not has to navigate the world they find themselves stuck in” love it, sound interesting right?! Wrong!

It was a struggle to understand, every sentence was just a flowery nothing burger, it felt as if I was stumbling ass-over end trying to keep up with it. The author would info-dump instead of showing us. Like don’t get me wrong sometimes info dumping -while not the best- isn’t inherently bad EVERY NOW AND THEN! But for this book nearly the whole thing was an info dump.

And the names were Atrocious! For example: the Iron Maid, The Last Resort (never found out why he was nicknamed that), The Golden Cobra, Beauty Dipped in Blood (aka the Villainess)and The Forever and Always Emperor (aka the King). And the having to read those names over and over again and then author giving them their real names just out of nowhere was jarring. Like giving character a title is perfectly fine (such as “The Viper” from game of thrones) but constantly using the name throughout the book was awful to read and hard to understand.

Don’t even get me started on the main Female Lead (FL) i initially liked her before she became trapped in the Novel, but once she was trapped she became so unlikeable. Trying to hard to be snippy and sassy just came off as wildly immature - and not in a fun character kind of way - and it was hard really feeling any of the stakes when she was referring to people as “not real people because they’re from a novel and she’s from the real world” like girl, if someone slits your throat in this world you’re dead.

It was interesting when they brought in the Cobra and he’s revealed to also be from her world. And he was an interesting character to begin with… until he was turned into the stereotypical “gay bestie.”

Let not forget the god-awful cringe ass musical number that I read through. It read like something straight out of Disney’s Descendants. I was second hand embarrassed and nearly DNF right there and then but by then I was hooked.

I also didn’t need to be told that the villainess was evil because she was a villain and she a villain because: she had big boobs, curves, is essentially forced to sleep with the King (also known as the Emperor) because he’s the king and no one is allowed to disobey the king. And it’s the constant slut-shaming even after almost everyone in the narrative has said “yeah no one can disobey the king under threat of death, what he says goes and what he wants he gets no questions asked or you’re dead.” But she’s a harlot because she slept with him because he wanted to sleep with her. Do you see where this is going?

And the I guess you would describe it as the “Secondary love interest in the original novel” the Last Resort or whatever the hell his name is, is a self righteous cowardly asshole. Everyone is a sinner because they lied (maybe) and the king can do no wrong because that’s his bff. It was insufferable to read his POV because he was so far up the king’s asshole that he couldn’t possibly see that maybe the king was a bad guy. Hell he was convinced that the King couldn’t have slept with the Villainess because well he’s a good guy and she’s evil and tried to lure him into her bed with her curves and bouncy boobs. Even though it’s stated almost right away that yeah the two were sleeping with each other. And then he falls in love with The Cobra which would have been fine if I could understand what the hell was going on in the book and how we got to that conclusion. Because again it was like stumbling through a field of flowery words that made no sense to the narrative plot and info dumping. But in all reality the Cobra is too good for an asshole like him and he should just stay single.

The pacing was off. She arrived day one and then we don’t know how many days pass between that day and the ending of the book (which BTW ends in a cliffhanger), the action scenes were detestable to even slog through, it was a jumbled up pile of word vomit thrown onto the papers. At some point the FL lost the plot, but than hand to find it again because it’s nearly the end of the book and well nothing big has happened other then -NOW she finally realized that the people she is with can be considered “real people with real emotions and feels.”

All in all it was an awful read. So bad that I came on here to review it. This is my first time reviewing something on goodreads.

Will I be getting the next book in the series? Probably. I want to see how this train wreck ends.

“Kingdom of the Wicked,” By: Kerri Maniscalco

In Kerri Mansiscalco’s newest novel “Kingdom of the Wicked,” we follow Emilia, a witch, as she searches for her twin sister - Vittoria’s murderer. Soon she becomes entangled in a web of dark magic and demons. Things only seem to get worse when she accidentally summons Wrath, one of the seven demon princes of Hell. Together they’re forced to traverse the dark streets of Scicily, Italy in search of the savage murderer.

🌑Spoilers!🌕

I’ve read Kerri Maniscalco’s “Stalking Jack the Ripper,” series and I liked it, so I was very excited to see that she was working on another series. And I was NOT disappointed! It didn’t take me very long to bust out this book and finish it.

I liked the sisterly bond that Emilia and Vittoria, it was a fleshed relationship, that - even though we only saw a few short chapters of Vittoria before her death - we knew that she was spunky and care-frees. With Emilia as he rock, the two balanced each other out. So I felt Emilia’s pain when she discovered her sister’s body.

Emilia was an enjoyably strong female lead that can - and has - defended herself in a fight and wasn’t a damsel in distress. She was brave and witty and cunning enough to trick a demon into giving her answers. And even though she feared Wrath, she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind to him and put him in his place.

The dynamic between Emilia and Wrath stayed constant a little ways through the book. Both shared a mutual respect- hate for each other. There was a build up for the romance between the two but when it came down to the part where they kiss, it felt rushed. But I’m sure as the series progresses it’ll be more fleshed out.

I’m excited to see what the future holds for Emilia!

“Five Total Strangers”by: Natalie D. Richards

“Five Total Strangers,” follows the story of Mira as she accepts a ride from a group of college students on their way home for the holidays. As the car ride through the ever growing snowstorm continues, Mira realizes that her passengers have no idea who each other are! And things in the endless car ride grows even more tense as things start turning up missing or broken. Soon everyone is turning on each other and pointing fingers. Someone in this car is lying and it’s only a matter of time before the storm breaks!

🌑Spoilers!🌕

First of all, DON’T GET INTO CARS WITH STRANGERS! It’s dangerous and you have the potential of getting into serious trouble. If you have to get into a car with someone you don’t know, always be aware of your surroundings, tell someone that you trust what you’re doing, and if you have an iPhone and you ever feel unsafe in ANY situation, you hold the home and volume button and an “Emergency SOS,” will pop up. Once you swipe it, it’ll immediately send out a ping to emergency services.

Now back to the book! I enjoyed the first half of the book, but as I read father and farther along, I started to not like Mira as much as I did. At first, I liked her, she was a girl fresh out of high school, who was hurting because it was the one year ananniversary of her aunt’s death and it was on Christmas. So I can only imagine how her and her mom was feeling. She was trying to get home to her mom so she wouldn’t be alone.

But as the story progressed, many MANY red flags start popping up, Mira just becomes whiny and ignores all the warning signs that maybe she’s not safe with the people she’s with. At the beginnings the book, she’s portrayed as a bad ass who doesn’t give a shit. But near the middle, she becomes meek and spineless and let’s other people talk for her and she’s easily manipulated.

Than the author put a “by the way she also has a stalker! And he’s following her!” Trope that felt like it was just added in as an afterthought. So when we get the first glimps of the stalker’s letters, it felt very disjointed. But I’ll have to say, after I shook off the feeling, I started to dig the idea!

I started trying to figure out which of them was her stalker and at first I thought it was Harper (The girl Mira sat next too on the plane and who had asked Mira if she wanted a ride). Because she was obsessed and weirdly protective of Mira. And I thought that would be a cool twist! Nope, it wasn’t Harper, or Brecken (a volatile jock), or Kayla (the weird girl who always appears strung-out), nor was it the random yellow-hat man that was at every one of the rest stops that Mira was at!

It was Josh, the guy on crutches, the guy who didn’t even appear remotely interested in Mira, in fact, for a good while during the ride, he ignored her. So that was a little... unsatisfying to say the least.

In conclusion, I started enjoying the idea that Mira’s stalker orchestrated all the events that led up to her being stuck in a car in the middle of no where. Though the stalker story line did fall flat somewhat with the ending. I did have fun trying to figure out who was the stalker, but again the stalker trope did felt thrown in almost like a second thought.

“This Is Our Story,” By: Ashley Elston.

“This Is Our Story,” by: Ashley Elston, is a nail-biting murder mystery/thriller that’s sure to keep readers on their toes with every twist and turn.

Five boys go out hunting one early morning, but only four come back. The fifth is dead and the four remaining boys won’t talk.

Enter Kate, a young photographer who is working as an assistant for the detective that got this case. Kate’s got a secret that’s pushed her to want to find justice for the dead boy.

🌑Spoilers!🌕

I really REALLY liked this book! At first it was a little slow paced but getting through the initial thirty or so pages it picked up.

We find that the reason Kate wants justice for the dead boy- Grant, was because she was texting him. They had been texting and talking weeks before his death. But at the story progresses and the other four boys (Shep, Henry, Logan, and John) are transferred to her school, she discovers that she’s was never texting Grant. In fact, Kate finds that she was texting Shep all along. And I’m not gonna lie, I had a feeling that she wasn’t texting Grant, but I thought it would be either Henry or Logan.

I really liked that there was a point of view from the killer as well but we never knew who was talking for the POV. So we had no idea who it was until the very end.

We find that John killed Grant, because Grant had proof that John’s dad has paid off a cop to let his son get off for drug chargers. And Grant was holding that over his head.

For a long time, I thought it was Shep who killed Grant. I thought he was getting close to Kate because she was following the boys and working side by side for the detective assigned to their case. I thought he was just saying he liked her just to get information. I was dreading it actually. But I was pleasantly surprised when his feeling turned out to be genuine.

I hated that Kate didn’t really think of that and she gave him information about the case. Yeah, we find that he’s not the killer but when she gives him classified details of the case she wasn’t sure quite yet. So I was waiting for him to use the information she gave him against her.

It truly was a thrilling murder mystery and as soon as it started going, I couldn’t put it down! It’s definitely a book people have to pick up and read.

“If he had been with me,” By: Laura Nowlin.

In Laura Nowlin’s, “If he had been with me,” reminisce about the life of Autumn as she remembers her time in high school. She thinks about how, if only she had stuck with her best friend- Finn, he would not have gotten in the car accident resulting in his death.

🌑Spoilers!🌕

“If he had been with me...” what can I say, it was a little fast paced and it read as both looking to the past and present day. I couldn’t really tell when the main character- Autumn was talking about the past or the present.

And Autumn’s boyfriend- Jamie was an idiot. For example: Autumn, Jamie and their friends all go sledding and Autumn and Jamie decide to go down together. As they sled down, Autumn smacks her face on Jamie’s head and she gets a black eye. Jamie- being the cool, rebel boy he is, thought that it would be soooo funny is Autumn said that he hit her. You know, to see how everyone would react. Yes, because joking about abuse and lying about it is just sooo funny. Autumn had the common sense to say no. He’s an absolute nincompoop and a very forgettable character.

The relationship between Autumn and Finn was kind of out of nowhere. They were best friends since the day they were born (because their moms were also best friends). But once they hit high school they just stop talking to each other and the only time they talk to each other it’s just small pleasantries. But at the end, we find that Finn has always been love with Autumn? Which I can kind of see through Autumn’s retelling of the events before his death.

It was a fairly easy read and the wording wasn’t flowery or over complicated so I was able to get through it easily enough. It has a sad ending because I can only imagine how it must feel to lose your best friend. But it was ruined when Autumn finds out she’s pregnant and carrying Finn’s baby (because they had hooked up the night before he passed). I don’t know, it was sad, but it was a cheesy and cliché ending.

Quick edit: they hooked up while he was in a relationship. And Autumn was the “I’m not like other girls”, she would wear a tiara in high school so people would know that she’s quirky and different.

“Red, White, & Royal Blue,” By: Casey Mcquiston.

In Casey Mcquinston’s novel, “Red, White, & Royal Blue,” we follow Alex Claremont-Diaz, the first son of the first female president of the United States. Ever since he was younger he’s been enemies with the young Prince Henry, heir to England’s throne.

And when a drunken argument leads to the two destroying Prince Henry’s older brother’s wedding cake, they’re now forced to become “fake friends.” But as the two are forced together, they soon realize that they have more in common then they first thought. As the two start texting and emailing each other, they both begin to fall in love. Once they realize they love one another, Alex and Henry decide to form a secret romance.

Now Alex and Henry have to keep their relationship a secret from both the royal family and the United States.

🌑Spoilers!🌕

“Red, White, & Royal Blue,” is definitely up there in my favorites reads. I liked the pacing of the book, I liked the romance between Alex and Henry. I thought it was sweet and wholehearted and it felt real.

It reminded me so much of Hallmark movies and I’m a sucker for a Hallmark!

I was very happy that both Alex and Henry’s characters were fleshed out and were not just one dimensional, cookie-cuter boys. They had real life problems.

They grow together as both people and as a couple and I love it!

There were a few technical things that were bothersome. For instance, it kind of read like a fan fiction and every so often I read it like a fan fiction. And Alex and Henry didn’t read as two grown adult men, but more like teenagers(both are twenty-three years old).

But other than those few things, I really enjoyed the book! And anyone who reads “Red, White, & Royal Blue,” is bound to fall in love with these characters!

“Would Like To Meet,” By: Rachel Winters.

Meet-cute: an amusing or charming first encounter between two characters that leads to the development of a romantic relationship between them.

That’s the premise of Rachel Winters’s, “Would Like To Meet.”

Evie Summers’s works at a film agency and it’s her job to convince her agency’s biggest client- Ezra Chester (a big name screenwriter) that rom-com meet-cutes really do “just happen.” Evie might not believe it herself, but if convincing this annoying, top-tier screenwriter is what she has to do too keep her job then she will. 

Evie sets up her own meet-cutes with a little help from her well-meaning friends- and Ben and Anetta- a lovely father-daughter duo who keeps witnessing her humiliating attempts at meet-cutes. But can she really find her meet-cute if she’s given up on love?

🌑Spoilers!🌕

So spoilers! Evie DOES NOT end up with the annoying screenwriter! Which you know what, I’m not mad at all, it was a good twist to a genre that usually has the first guy the girl meets is who she ends up with.

At first I thought I would be almost bummed that she didn’t with the sexy, snobby screenwriter, but when we actually meet the love interest- Ben, I was pleasantly alright with it. Ben is shy and stand-offish, but incredibly sweet with his young daughter. Anetta is the exact opposite of her father, she boisterous and personable.

I liked that Anetta was deaf or half deaf (she does have a hearing aid and can hear somewhat) and she and her father sign to one another. But what I really appreciated was, after Evie found out about Anetta’s disability she starts learning sign to talk with the young girl.

I enjoyed how Ezra was a cocky jerk and instead of being the misunderstood gold guy her was actually the asshole bad guy. He stole Evie’s meet-cute script/stories and tried to pass them off as his own, he tried to get Evie to fall for him so he could steal her ending of her meet-cute script/stories, crashed and ruined her best friend’s wedding and so on and so forth. So yeah, he was a scumbag. Though he does SLIGHTLY redeem himself by revealing to the film agency that he did steal her work. But still an asshole.

I definitely would read this again, it was really funny. My favorite scene is was Evie accidentally flushed her roommates vibrator down the toilet and clogs it. So she calls Ben to help unclog the toilet and she doesn’t tell him what exactly is clogging the toilet. It was hilarious! it was heartwarming and it got me to smile!

“Bad Bachelor,” By: Stefanie London.

“Bad Bachelor,” by Stefanie London; what if you and rate your bachelor date? Was it good? Was he too busy on his phone? Was he attentive? Or was he rude? Did he want to get to know you? Or did you only want sex? Well that’s the whole idea of The Bad Bachelor app! Now you can see what the ladies are saying about the bachelors of New York!

For Darcy Greer, The Bad Bachelor app is perfect way for her to weed out all the rejected suites. But for Reed McMahon, The Bad Bachelor has all but ruined his life. From his work place (kinda hard to be a PR if your the one with the bad press!) to his bedroom relationships!

These two are thrusted together when Reed agrees to help Darcy save her struggling library. Things are about to get frisky in the library.

🌑Spoilers!🌕

Okay! I’ll have you know, I read this book from cover to cover and Darcy and Reed only talk about the library and the fundraiser three times! Only three times! But somehow at the very end, Reed magically was able to throw the whole fundraiser together but we didn’t get to see how that happened!?

It primarily focused on Reed and him trying to shut down The Bad Bachelor app. And Darcy’s point of view were rather bland. With her either pinning after Reed or denying that she likes him or reading reviews about him. I had to claw my way through her point of view.

But don’t get me wrong there were some pretty good sex scenes and Darcy did have some pretty witty comebacks and jibs.

Even if there were some things that did irritate me, it was one of those books you can read in one sitting. I enjoyed the rather naughty sex scenes (even if they didn’t do the do in the library) and I found them to be tasteful!

I had an amusing and fun time reading it anyways!

“Windfall,” By: Jennifer E. Smith.

“Windfall,” by Jennifer E. Smith is about Alice who buys a lotto ticket for her best friend, Teddy for his 18th birthday. I mean what are the odds that he actually wins? That is until the end of his birthday and they find that Teddy’s ticket is had the winning numbers!

Now Teddy’s an 18 year old with a lot of money... $140 million to be exact. Now Teddy’s popular and loaded, but that shouldn’t get in the way if Alice and his relationship, right? Right??

🌑Spoilers🌕

I liked “Windfall,” it was an interesting read. I read this in a day, so you know it’s gotta be good.

I liked the romance, it’s very minimal to be honest, but the few moments that are shown are sweet. But I kinda liked that romance took a back seat because we get to see the straining relationship between Teddy and Alice as Teddy gets more and more popular.

Though I did feel like it did kind of come out of no where. Like Alice and Teddy kiss in the first part of the book but then it’s dropped and they barely talked about it. Then the next time they talk about their relationship, is the last couple of chapters and it did feel rushed. But we are stuck in Alice’s perspective and we see that she’s been in love with Teddy since they were kids. So we don’t know what Teddy was feeling, which is fine.

I loved that Alice was really into charity and she spent a lot of her time volunteering at the local soup kitchen. She’s enjoyed charity work ever since she was a child and before her parents passed away nine years earlier. I liked that near the end of the book Alice’s charitable spirit inspired Teddy to use his money to start his own charity and help people in need.

It wasn’t a complex read and it was pretty easy to get through. It had sweet and very cute characters. Everyone should check it out!

“Wildfire,” By: Carrie Mac.

“Wildfire,” by Carrie Mac, a tale about adventure, unrequited love and tragedy.

It follows Annie and her best friend Pete as the pair decide to go on their biggest (and most perilous) adventure yet! A ten day backpacking trip through the Washington mountains to Fire Camp- where they’ll learn how to put out wildfires.

But! After a freak accident leaves them stranded miles away from where they need to be, the two are forced to hike through unfamiliar terrain. Matter only get worse when Pete injures himself right in the middle of a fire zone! Now it’s a race against time, before infection can set in and the looming wildfire consumes them both!

🌑Spoilers!🌕

The tone of “Wildfire,” is somber and bittersweet. I don’t think I cried so hard over a book for so long.

I fell in love with both of these characters. I fell in love with Pete and his fascination with unicorns (he swears that he saw one when he was seven!) and Annie’s perseverance and love for her best friend.

Annie loves Pete, but Pete has a girlfriend, so like a good best friend, Annie stomps down her feelings. But as we travel with Annie, we catch glimpses of their shared past. We see instances where they COULD have been something more. We see lingering touches, bold statements, and a shared kiss. Annie reflects on all these moments and realizes that if she hadn’t stopped the kiss and chose to speak about it maybe they could have been something.

We never know how Pete feels about Annie. If he loves her more than a friend or if he just sees her as a friend. Even though there are instances where he loves her then just a friend.

But we never get to find out. Pete succumbs to his infection (which had turned to sepsis) and passes away. Leaving Annie to wonder about what would have happened if she had gone to get help sooner or if they had waited the ten days till Fire Camp.

It was all very tragic and sad and emotional. Because we never know if Pete felt the same way and Annie never got to tell him that she loved him. It was heartbreaking.

I think any book that can spark an emotional response (be it anger, sadness, happiness) is a treasure and a wonder.

“Wildfire,” is a book that can only be read once in a lifetime. A powerful message about love, lose, perseverance and friendship.

And it’s one everyone should experience.

“Man Hunting,” By: Jennifer Crusie.

“Man Hunting,” by Jennifer Crusie is a rom-com, following 35 year old Kate Svenson, a liberated, brilliant businesswoman who have been through three failed engagements and now she really wants to find Mr. Right. Her best friend convinced her to take a vacation at The Cabins. A resort ripe with handsome, eligible bachelors- all rich, all ambitious- just get type.

But... she appears to be cursed and downright unlucky in love. All her bachelors are dropping like flies around her- falling into pools, down cliffs, quite literally dropping!

Jake Templeton is just NOT having it. He really- REALLY would much rather lounge around the lake than go fishing for Kate’s rejects from the resort’s pool. He knew that he should stay miles away from Kate, but he can’t stop the attraction his feelings for the unlucky woman.

🌑Spoilers!🌕

Oh God!

Let me just tell you, this is probably one of Crusie’s funnier novels. There were parts where I was laughing out loud in public like a mad woman. I was able to finish this book in about a day and a half- it’s not a very long book (about 250 pages).

I liked that the comedy was so subtle and not in your face. It really made the funny parts ACTUALLY funny.

I also like that, while she [Kate] is a rather rich woman who doesn’t need a man. She’s a romantic at heart and just wants someone to love. I enjoyed that even if she was super upper class, she was very sweet and kind to the people of the small town beside the resort.

Crusie just writes relatable characters and characters that feel like real people with real problems that people have in the actual world. The best part is, is that there’s no woman bashing!

Like Kate isn’t rude or malicious towards her young, pretty blonde friend who has all the men’s attention. In fact, Kate is always there for her friend and helps her with her relationships. It was just nice seeing women not being pitted against each other.

The problem I had was, even though the relationship with Kate and Jake is super cute, and silly- near the end it felt very rushed. For instance, they sleep together for a week before Kate leaves. And Kate leaves- both of them are upset and a month later she comes back. Almost as soon as she’s back, Jake asks her to marry him (she says, yes!) and they’re living with each other now! So that was pretty quick. But it was initially really cute and sweet and funny relationship.

Definitely something I’d read again!

“Fast Women,” By: Jennifer Crusie.

“Fast Women,” by Jennifer Crusie follows the life of Nell Dysart; a sassy, 40 year old business savvy woman who had everything she could ever want. A handsome, loving husband, a young, adult son, her perfectly manicuredset of fine China, and a thriving business. What more could she ever want? That is until her loving husband - Tim, tells her that he no long loves her anymore.

Now Nell and her fine China are out on the street, no husband, no job, and left to pick up the pieces. Thank god she’s a strong woman who refuses to be put down by anyone.

It’s not long until she finds a job as a secretary at a small, dindgy detective agency, ran by sour and broody Gabe Mackenna. And like hell was Nell going to admit that she found him attractive! These two headstrong and strong willed adults instantly clash! Gabe does NOT like change while Nell is all for it. They argue over small, petty things- i.e. those damn ugly business cards! Soon Nell is thrown into a life of dog-napping, chasing cheating spouses, unprofessional sex with said dark and broody detective, and murder!

🌑Spoilers!🌕

In all honesty, I loved “Fast Women.” It was empowering reading about Nell and how she picks up the pieces of her life after her no good cheating husband dumps her. She’s obviously hurt, depressed about her marriage falling apart, but she pulls herself together and quickly tries to get her life back together. Which she does with grace and poise and a little bit of spunk.

I liked that this wasn’t an insta-love. Of course, they both acknowledge that the other is attractive but they don’t instantly hook-up. I enjoyed that they took the time ( 7 months!) to get to know each other and understand each other little by little.

But my favorite part was the fact that this romance novel ACTUALLY HAD A PLOT! Like yeah there was romance and rather... steamy sex, but there was also murder! Dun dun DUN!! Gabe and Nell and Gabe’s agency is investigating the strange suicide of an older woman named Helene who was said to have died of a self inflicted gunshot wound. But as they dig deeper things just aren’t adding up. They find that Helene’s own husband had one of his son-in-law kill her before he promptly kills his son-in-law.

The only problem I really had was the relationships in the story. And I’m not talking about like romance-wise, I’m talking like: whose married to whom again? Who is this guy? Who’s she? Is this her father or her husband? Is this her friend? It was a little confusing and took me a couple moments to untangle who was whom.

Other then that, I throughly enjoyed Crusie’s book and I definitely have plans to read more of her work!
