message 1359: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just finished #12 (bestseller from different genre) - Morning Star by Piece Brown. My one complaint about this series is that I wish I had waited to read them back to back. There is so much packed into each book, particularly with the histories between the main characters. It's nigh unto impossible to keep it all straight if there is any time in between the books. That being said, this was an excellent conclusion. I wasn't as surprised at the intrigues and betrayals, having been prepared for it by Brown's previous books. But it still twisted and turned and had me enthralled until the end. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars

message 1361: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #29 (unreliable narrator) - I'll See You in Paris by Michelle Gable. Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was a good beach read. However, I felt the writing was a bit oddly paced, and the plot dawdled. It picked up towards the end, but I'm glad I read this book on vacation. I received this book as a giveaway in exchange for my honest review. Worth reading. 3.5 stars
