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.
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 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.
ApparentParadox reviewed Werewolf in Rusted Armor by Minerva Howe
My favorite in the series
4 stars
I always liked Quinn in the other books, so no surprise that I like his story best. Thiago is a great character as well, and a good match for Quinn.
ApparentParadox finished reading Fire Wings by Jena Wade
I wanted to re-read this because these characters make a cameo in Flight Risk.
ApparentParadox stopped reading Wishing on a Dream by Michele Notaro
Just not into it.
Enjoyable, just not special

Please see my profile for my star rating system!
This book was enjoyable, but it just didn't grab me. It was difficult to believe that an assassin could be so bad at faking being normal. How could he avoid detection in crowds given how bad he was at small things?
ApparentParadox finished reading Alpha Bear Accountant by Lorelei M. Hart
Quick read, but enjoyable.
ApparentParadox stopped reading The Haunted Hotel by Vawn Cassidy
Just not into this book. The living characters are decent and well drawn, but they just don't grab me. The ghosts and the premise I got from the first few chapters were just annoying. Did not finish.
