I very rarely do mini reviews. My main reason is because I love doing in depth reviews. But, in this case, I got very behind with my reviews. I had planned on being caught up by Christmas but then everyone in my family (including myself) got the flu. I was in bed for four days and couldn’t function until yesterday. So, being behind a couple of reviews snowballed into six. But, I am feeling better now and I decided the best way to catch up was mini reviews. So, here they are!!
The Doom of Odin by Scott Oden
This was an interesting book to read. I enjoyed that it heavily featured Norse mythology and used Norse gods and goddesses. The Doom of Odin was a bloody, violent book. While it wasn’t a put-off to me, it might be to some other people. The storyline was interesting but could be a bit hard to follow. But overall, this was a good, interesting book to read.
The Ball at Versailles by Danielle Steel
The Ball at Versailles is your typical Danielle Steel novel. It has drama, intrigue, and a healthy sprinkling of love and loss. I enjoyed reading the book and liked that the author featured four different girls (even if they were from similar backgrounds). I did find the end a little too typical, but hey, it is a Danielle Steel book. The endings are supposed to be nice!!
On the Plus Side by Jenny L. Howe
I loved this book. The author created a character that made me laugh and cry simultaneously. The author wrote a thoughtful note explaining the character’s relationship with her mother and apologized if it was triggering. The situations that Everly found herself in on the show horrified and amused me. And the ending was perfect!!
Second Duke’s the Charm by Kate Bateman
Kate Bateman is an auto purchase author for me. So, when I saw that she had a new series starting, I couldn’t wait to read it. This book lived up to my expectations. There was romance, a little bit of intrigue, and sexual tension that came off the pages.
Public Anchovy #1 by Mindy Quigley
I wasn’t sure about this book when I first started reading it. But, as the book went on and the mystery was revealed, I liked it. The author did a great job of keeping who the murderer was up in the air. I am usually good at figuring things out, and I was surprised at who the killer was and what the motive was behind the killings. I could have done without the romance (it seemed forced).
Mini reviews work for me. I prefer to didcover details on my own.
On the Plus Side sounds really good! I might see if I can pick it up at the library ✨️
It was a really good read. I hope you were able to get it.
