Books for Review I DNF

Fangirl by Ken Baker

I won this paperback through a comp, and couldn't read more than the first few chapters. Riddled with cliches , and "teen speak" that I never hear teens actually use other than in texting, it feels like the author tried too hard to make a popular fan fic.












Indulging In Irelyn by D.L. Raver
 I could not like the main character of this, Zane. He felt like such a pig, no matter what happened. Also, since I live in the Phoenix area, which it is set, all the references are ever so slightly off, like the author used google maps rather than a local knowledge.

Jamestown by Matthew Sharpe I wanted so much to like this one. Writing was solid, premise great, but I couldn't get past the graphic gore. I couldn't read anymore without feeling disgusted. It was too distracting from the plot line.














 Redemption by C.J. Barry
Plot was slow ad seemed to go nowhere fast. Gave up after the fifth chapter.
The Letting by Catherine Goldstein

Another one I wanted so much to like, but couldn't. Way too much internal dialogue made it repetitive and slow paced. A ton of background information dumping as well. The first three chapter should have been edited down to one.
