Destroy Me
by Tahereh Mafi

book cover


This novella is from Warner’s point of view after the events of the first book: Shatter Me. I gave this book three stars not because I don’t like it but because there wasn’t anything crazy out of the ordinary about it and I think that had to do with the fact that I read the first three books and then came back to read this novella. I feel like it also got repetitive at times. I really enjoyed it in the sense that we get to see Warner’s feelings after he portrays himself as a tough bad guy in the first book. I think if you really want an element of newness, you should read it directly after the first book when we don’t know so much about Warner from the next books already. However, even though I read it after the first three books, I still enjoyed back tracking and getting to experience the events from the end of Shatter Me and beginning of Unravel Me and everything in between from Warner’s perspective. We also get to see bits from Juliette’s journal that is spoken about in Shatter Me and of course Mafi’s writing and use of similes and metaphors are excellent. It makes you feel the character’s pain.

I don't like rating political books. Nothing in this novel was surprising to me, anyone could see the decline in the President and I think it was more about what people would justify of our leaders to prevent an outcome they didn't want. I read this book because I think it's important to hear from all sides about the truths hidden and manipulated to us from people in power. I also recognize the divisiveness of politics now and I don't want to contribute to that so if this review isn't posted, I completely understand.

With great appreciation for his quick wit and clear observations, reading this book felt like chatting with a friend. It was surprising to learn about how insecure Mr. Brown felt when younger. The only thing missing were his grandmother's buttered biscuits.

I did not particularly like the book. Terry was weak and allowed herself to be taken advantage of. even Chris abused her I understand she allowed it in order to get her son back. she gave up Gabe because she was not able to raise him. I haven't read the earlier books so not sure how Chris and Terry came to know decker and Rina but thank god for them still I'm sorry the Terry was killed and Chris took the easy way out and committed suicide leaving Gabe without a father as if it wasn't bad enough he lost his mother

Murder At The End Of The World
by Jonathan Garrett

book cover


This book was not for me. It wasn't as well written, and it was full of too many plot points. Plus, most of those plot points were entirely unnecessary. The story was full of sci-fi clichés. There were no characters worth rooting for or caring about, and anything they did wrong, led to zero consequences.

With A Vengeance

I my never ride a train again and that is the only spoiler. Most definitely worth the read. I was so engrossed that I was almost late for work, and I work from home. With A Vengeance by Riley Saeger is Not a perfect 5 stars but really close. By the way, don't keep guessing, just keep reading.

Absolutely loved this story! The historical facts, the mystery and the setting really kept me enthralled. I learned a lot about the impact the war had on this very quintessential summer place. The human relationships were so very well entwined with the historical events.
