So final stats for February are:
Total Read: 20 books - 6,815 pages
Currently reading: 9
Even though my reading fell off, my love for the books did not.
Mister Tender's Girl by Carter Wilson
A free physical book in exchange for an honest review.
I was sucked into the story and highly entertained throughout. It was horrific that it was inspired by true events. If you are a sensitive reader it might not be the best book but if you like a little gore and psychological thrill I highly recommend it. The end did not satisfy me though so I only gave it 4 stars.
Fade to Us by Julia Day
A free physical book in exchange for an honest review.
This book was not what I was expecting. In a good way. I was expecting cute contemporary read, fast pace and entertaining in a very light way. This story had some unexpected depth and I think the relationships were more realistic then most YA romances. I liked the Asperger's representation. I have some experience with those on the spectrum and I think the author did decent research into it. Another four star read!
Final Girls by Riley Sager
I listened this on audio and was highly entertained. Not for sensitive readers.
Quincy was an entertaining leading character and I liked her struggles with wanting to leave the horrific night of the Pine Cottage Murders behind her. She is a one of a few girls that are labeled the Final Girls, they were the last girls left alive in each of their brutal attacks. It seems though that someone wants all the Final Girls dead, but not before they find out what Quincy knows about that night. I was not expecting the ending but there were times that the pacing was a bit slow so I gave it four stars!
Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher
Book #8 in the Dresden Files so I won't say anything outside of I love Harry Dresden and Jim Butcher doesn't disappoint in this installment. It is not my favorite in the series but it was very entertaining so 3 stars. I listened to this on audio!
The Defense by Steve Cavanagh
I received The Plea which is book #2 in the series for review so of course I needed to pick up book one. This was a true drama. A slow burn at the start with the huge ending being amazing. I literally could not sleep until I read the final 100 pages. If you are in the mood for a drama I highly recommend this. Eddie Flynn was a fun character and his upbringing leads to a very interesting take on being a lawyer. I cannot wait to pick up The Plea! I gave this book 4 stars but I might bump it up!
