Book Review: Broken

Please remind me again why I allowed myself to be tortured by this book.  Right. Because I was STUPID.  I actually didn’t know that this book existed until after I got a notification from Netgalley that Strange Chemistry has approved my request for Tainted.  As I was searching GR to download Tainted’s book cover for my Stacking the Shelves post, it came to my attention that Tainted is already the second book of the Broken series.

Dear Killer is not a book that would be enjoyed by everyone.  I even have a feeling that a significant amount of readers will hate and burn it.

Book Review: Captivate

Captivate frustrated me so much that I was tempted to give it a zero star rating.  Except for the interesting premise, everything about it was off. Not to mention that I was angry at myself for not really checking it out.  I thought that it’s going to be a mermaid book but it’s not. In actuality, it’s about an underwater kingdom of humans. My interest was very high during the first 20% of the book and then it dwindled as the story progressed. The main character, Miranda, was average and easily forgettable. I wouldn’t even bat an eyelash if the…
