The ratings are high sooo the low reviews have gotta be from a bunch of people who aren't on masktok and have no sense of humor. Like they just don't The ratings are high sooo the low reviews have gotta be from a bunch of people who aren't on masktok and have no sense of humor. Like they just don't get it. Lights Out is hilarious. It knows exactly what it is and it's good at it. Who doesn't want a golden retriever book boyfriend who's funny af and hot as hell with a little bit of kink? And don't compare this to Haunting Adeline (barf). Josh and Aly are actually mildly complex characters. They're just the right kind of mess and it's great.
It's fitting I read this on the first day of autumn because spooky season thirst traps have been on my fyp for a month already and it's time to officially kick off fall ya'll! Now excuse me I have to go watch 14 more death eater toks and cry over a Dramione fanfic....more

Then it could come out that he'd shortened it from her calling him Kitty when he rescued her as a child. Truly bothered me the whole book and I can't get over her changing his name the way she did....more

Pestilence is a solidly average book. It was good enough for me to finish, but I feel no great desire to pick up the next one in the series.
The four horsemen of the apocalypse is usually biblical and steeped in religion. Thankfully, there's no proselytizing. So, there's that to be grateful for as an atheist/agnostic.
I think the writing style wasn't for me, and I needed more from Sara, the main character. Literally plague made flesh is wiping humanity from the land, yet there's Sara, almost not even bothered by it all because Pestilence is a McHottie with abs. Where's the soul crushing anguish? The guilt? The grief?
As for the writing style...
He knows exactly what she's forgiving him for, and he's covering up the fact that he-is-shook.
Cringe. Quirky slang didn't really feel appropriate and jarred me out of the story. It reduces a novel to the likes of a well written fan-fic online....more
Hoo boy, do I hate Galloway. (view spoiler)[I wanted him to just die on that island pretty much all the time. What a sexist man-child. Who the hell namHoo boy, do I hate Galloway. (view spoiler)[I wanted him to just die on that island pretty much all the time. What a sexist man-child. Who the hell names their child Coconut??? And omg EAT A TURTLE YOU'RE STARVING ARE YOU STUPID?! (hide spoiler)] I skimmed this just to find out what happened.
When I finished I realized I've read Tears of Tess from Pepper Winters. That got 3 stars from me. Clearly I just don't care for this author or her chauvinistic male characters....more
