What a great book. I chuckled a lot and really enjoyed it. It was kind of hilarious without actually trying to be funny. There were some minor head scratchers, but generally, lovely. I was a bit surprised how spicy it got at times.

What a cute book. I hadn’t quite realised it would be about twelve-year-olds and from my own experience (which was much later) it felt odd to have them realise about their sexuality so early. Nevertheless quite a wholesome book.

I loved this book! Barely wanted to put it down. The perfect representation and everything. Hate and love in the world. The timing—as bad as the past years were—couldn’t have been better. And the amount of COVID being mentioned was perfect as well. What a joy it was to read this book—even with how dark it was.

I’m not sure how I managed to stumble into this highly explicit romance genre but if it’s written well, I won’t complain. A kind of cute story, even though some things—possibly all—were kind of predictable.

I wasn’t that much into this book unfortunately. There were loads of stereotypes and some details missing. Sometimes, especially at the beginning things seem to have just been skipped or I was just confused. What I did not expect was it to be this explicit—which isn’t really a bad thing. Those scenes were written rather well haha

A nice in-betweener book if you want to relax a bit. Typical Murder, She Wrote book with a bit of action but not too much. Jessica did not need to investigate a lot this time, but still solved everything. The back and forth with Jake was a bit weird, but reminded me of the TV show were similar things happened. What feels a bit forced is that certain people seem to appear in every single book for no good reason whatsoever—the Buckleys or mentioning George in passing for example.

What a great story. It was rather predictable and basically nothing surprised me—almost every single thing I expected to happen long before it did.
Still, I really enjoyed this book, as I do most of Silvera‘s books.
As morbid and dark as they are, I am still a fan and they … cheer me up? Not the right words but they do make me sad in a good way.

So much excitement. Incredible. Didn’t expect this much „action“ but it was a good book. Very different crimes.

Somehow while reading this book, my synapses triggered recollection of some things, so I feel like a previous book must have had some minor parallels.
The connections of the cases felt like a bit of a stretch but it is fiction after all. In general it was a good book and I am gutted if this is gonna be Ryan’s full departure.

What a fun book! This is my very first Terry Pratchett. After the stories of the Discworld have been on my to-read list for way too long I was finally convinced to try one and Equal Rites is definitely a very good start into the series.
It was fun, honest, critical and everything what you want. So much magic and quirkiness, but not in a bad way—I enjoyed this book very much and definitely cannot wait to be drawn even deeper into the Discworld!

I quite enjoyed this book. After not being a huge fan of the previous two in the series, I was really pleased to enjoy this one more again.
What an interesting trip around Canada. What horrific crimes.

I was very disappointed by this book. I had quite enjoyed the first of the series and was looking forward to the sequel but it ended up not being worth it.
Sloppy writing and a boring story with nothing but bad stereotypes and far-fetched drama that all did not make a lot of sense.

I had to abandon this book. It just did not resonate with me. Initially I thought it had something to do with the lovely web comic Out of the Blue but it seems only related in name. Very difficult to read and after only having finished 1/4th I just had to stop.

There’s a few inconsistencies but overall this book was rather cute.
A cute little story about a bunch of people in love. One thing I do not enjoy as much in queer literature is how there seems to be the stereotype of all queer people being friends and kind of knowing each other. A stereotype that—at least for me—hasn’t been true ever. Maybe that has changed now or it’s just the „we want to read about happy things“ kind of thing in books.
