ApparentParadox stopped reading A Wolf's Secret by C.G. Rayne
Too dark for me right now.
Reviews and Comments
GWM living in Oregon.I used to love books that would really stretch me, but lately I've needed more solace from the books that I read.
My ratings are as follows: * 5 stars: it's truly a great book, and I'll want to re-read it again and again. * 4 stars: it's a good book, and I enjoyed reading it. I'll probably re-read it. * 3 stars: It's a fine book, just not special. I may re-read it if I'm looking to just relax and not have to think, but I would probably pick up a new book instead. * 2 stars: I finished it, but might have given up if I were in a different mood. * 1 star: I didn't enjoy the book and probably didn't finish it. I wouldn't blanketly recommend against it, because it might speak to someone else.

ApparentParadox reviewed The Blackout Murders by Anna Elliott
Good cozy mystery
4 stars
I had a hard time deciding on the rating. I definitely enjoyed reading this book, but I’m not sure if I would re-read it. I do like the characters and how they come together as a team. The conclusion of the case is a bit abrupt, but not enough to make me unhappy.

Enjoyable characters. A bit too “pull a rabbit out of a hat” ending, but still fun.
ApparentParadox rated Wolf Lost: 4 stars
ApparentParadox reviewed A Very English Murder by Verity Bright
Ok, but no interest in reading more in the series
3 stars
This was an OK book. I liked the main characters, but the plot was only so so, and the relationship with her uncle wasn’t very satisfying. I doubt I’ll read any more in the series.
ApparentParadox reviewed A Mage's Guide to Wicky by AJ Sherwood
Fine, but not as good as the others in the series
3 stars
This is a fine book. I just like the others in the series much better. I probably re-read the others multiple times before coming back to this one.
ApparentParadox stopped reading The Pryce of Conceit by Kari Bovee
DNF. Not into the main character. Barely made it a couple of chapters. Maybe it gets better, but I'm not going to put in the time.
ApparentParadox started reading Jon's Crazy Head-Boppin' Mystery by AJ Sherwood
Comfort re-read
ApparentParadox finished reading Brandon's Very Merry Haunted Christmas by AJ Sherwood
Comfort reread
ApparentParadox started reading Alan's Utterly Accidental Dream-Cute by AJ Sherwood
Comfort re-read
ApparentParadox stopped reading The Dragon Boss by Anna Wineheart
Just not into it. Partly not in the mood for bad guys killing others to force someone to work for them. Partly not into god like powers of electronics whisperers.
ApparentParadox reviewed The Secret Detective Agency by Helena Dixon
Unlikable main character, unsatisfying ending
2 stars
I almost stopped reading this multiple times, but ended up finishing it. Jane Treen is unlikable (insisting on smoking around an asthmatic? Being upset said asthmatic can walk as fast as her?). The story also wraps up way too quickly with too many loose ends. Arthur and Benson are good characters, though, and I mainly stuck it out for them.

Almost didn’t bother to finish
ApparentParadox reviewed Wrong Number, Right Cougar by Lorelei M. Hart
Doesn’t really fit the theme
3 stars
This series involves people who get together because of a wrong number. This book doesn’t fit that as the two would have met just the same without the phone call.
ApparentParadox stopped reading The Ghost Hunter Next Door by Danielle Garrett
Just not into it. I don’t like the main character, and the other characters don’t have much depth. I stopped after reading the first 4 chapters.
