Review: Nine Elms

Nine Elms Nine Elms by Robert Bryndza
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Note: An ARC was given generously in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Netgalley and the author for allowing me the opportunity to review this.

I wanted to like this novel so bad, I mean it was just so made for me.

The summary, the cover. The recs by my friends.

Gah, it was perfect. But then it blew up.

I felt the characters were too weak for my taste, as someone who's dealt with cases before, she was too weak-hearted and the plot was moving too slowly for my taste.

Hence why I DNFed. But still I'd like to try this author's works as I do see some potential.

So yeah, not a recommend.

Until the next read,

TMR

Make Me Dream of You by Rae Kennedy My rating: 3 of 5 stars Note: Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Triggers: death of family, social anxiety. Alright finally back to some reviewing - aye! So we got this wonderful lovey dovey - never leaving s-xy good times behind- couple to star in this book - girl's got her own thing going on - guy was just doing his thing after a breakup. Usher (not musician) in age of tech also to play a big part here. And since this author believes that this is still the 90s where people have time to hang out in person - we get this scenario where all the friends come up on a vacationing of a good time - and well passions flare, secrets come revealed or undone - best left to the pages read.

All about the secrets being revealed, character building, new romances entering the zone, and friend dynamics - cause holy wow even I was wishing I was this close to my pe...
