Rogue Protocol

book cover


This title is the third book in the Murderbot Diaries series, and was kind of disappointing after the second book, which remains my favorite so far. Although I didn't dislike this book, it felt slower to get through than the previous two. I did appreciate the adorable robot Miki and its human friend Abene, but the overall plot felt mostly like an excuse to set things up for the fourth book.

The book Aliens in Disguise is about two kids named David and Amy. The grandmother owns a bed and breakfast called the Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast. It's a place where aliens can go for vacation on Earth. Their grandmother has to go away and they are in charge of the bed & breakfast. They have to make sure that nobody finds out that there are aliens staying there. I rate this book as five stars. It was a great read and definitely recommend.

A collection of short, heartwarming tales about Cardan and his life before and after the events of The Folk of the air series. I loved seeing Cardans perspective as it showing his cunning and mischievous thought process. It is also cool to see how he began to think about Jude way back when they were kids. It never really made sense to me before but now I get it. Although, it was really sad to see how Cardan was raised in such a neglectful household, very different from Judes.

This is an awesome series! Her books are very humorous and insightful.

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder

4 stars This book is one of the reasons I love thrillers. This book tugged at my heart when need be, it kept me at the edge of my seat, my nerves were screaming and I even felt moved to tears. I love the idea and the usage of this being a story with the Capstone report, police reports, recordings and other suspect murder boards. Also, the Ravi and Pippa part? I loved it. I also really loved that the romance wasn’t the forefront or main sub-genere in this book until wayyy at the end. It was mostly on finding the killer with subtle-but cute-moments between the two. I’ll be looking forward to reading the next book!

Tender Is The Flesh
by Agustina Bazterrica

book cover


5 stars “She had the human look of a domesticated animal” This novel is absolutely disgusting and I mean that in the most respectful way possible. The whole concept of this book—All meat is infected therefore humans cannot consume it. This leads the the massacre of farm to pet animals, ultimately resulting in the consumption of “special meat” or better known, human meat. We follow Marcos working on a processing plant going through the motions of the transition, his wife leaving, his sister’s views, his father’s declining health and a special gift: and FGP female. Honestly everyone should pick this book up. It dives into the decline of humanity and how far humans will go even trying to live normally. You see characters take certain political views of this transition and the choices Marcos makes and how he interacts with people and “food.” Though reviewing this in 2024, I read this in September of 2023 and it is hands down joining the ranks of my favorite books of all time.
