Book Review: The Three Lives of Cate Kay

There’s something about this book that’s both lovely and disorienting. Is it because of the numerous POVs? Is it because it feels more like of a memoir than your typical novel? Or is it because our protagonist still seems an enigmatic person even until the very end? As someone who prefers SFFs and RomCom stories, the Three Lives of Cate Kay felt so new to me that reading the first few chapters felt weird. At some point, I did ask myself whether I downloaded the correct file because I expected something typical only to be handed with a story centering…

Book Review: Soft Core

I wish I could fully articulate my feeling about this book because it’s just different from the other contemporary books that I’ve read.

I’m glad that I picked Something Rotten because it gave my brain a new stimulation that’s not focused on who’s gonna usurp someone’s kingdom or will the boy/girl of destiny fulfil the prophecy. Something Rotten is not your typical contemporary-couple story…

Book Review: Lies On The Serpent’s Tongue

Thank the heavens because Lies on the Serpent’s Tongue did not suffer from the dreaded ‘middle book syndrome’ wherein the whole series starts to fall apart due to eye-rolling fillers. Though I have not yet posted my review for the first book, Bittersweet in the Hollow, a simple Goodreads search would show that I gave it a 3-star rating due to issues that I just couldn’t let go. But that’s another story in a separate post. Let’s focus on the Lies on the Serpent’s Tongue. Well, not so much time has passed ever since the events in Book 1; everything…
