I found out it was interactive and in one of the endings Cinder dies. I’m sorry but after everything she has been through she deserves a happy ending

I hate to say it, but I DNF'd this book. The first two books in this series were some of my favorite books of the year for the spin they put on real life events. The fact that she is now saying that the stuff in the first book was not actually true is complete bullshit. This series had the potential of my favorite series of all time as a criminology student, but it felt like it ended up being a train who crashed into a brick wall. I was going to try her other series after I tried it earlier this year but now I feel like I can’t trust anything this author writes

I have always wanted to read this book because the case based on has fascinated me for years. If somebody had told me it was from the point of view of a five year old I probably would not have read it. I found myself getting increasingly frustrated with a poor innocent child and I couldn’t take it anymore.  

I wanted to like this book so much because I wanted to hear a case from my hometown then I have never heard before. But instead of learning about who these people were growing up before this incident. It felt like an in depth course on lgbt terms some of which was not relevant to the story in anyway.

I loved the idea of a mystery series about a psychiatrist but that's not what I got. I got a fucked up romance about a girl who sees ghost and falls in love with a demented dead serial killer. To the point where she was having Izzie Stevens level of sex delusions about him. Eventually I couldn't take it anymore

What is it with these detective series books either starting in a weird place or taking forever to get to the actual crime? If I wanted to read a book about agriculture, I would've picked up a book about agriculture. I decided to get the audiobook from my library because I accidentally got the physical copy of the second one at the library and didn't want to feel like I was completely lost. I realize now that wouldn't have mattered because I'm still completely lost. Originally I was going to just suck it up and read the second book, but after reading the reviews of this one and how there is a apparently corn zombies I was like no.. the author officially jumped the shark

The concept was really cool but then it basically became a different version of divergent. I think if it was a standalone about her coming to terms with her best friend being her soulmate when she never previously thought of him that way I would’ve liked it better. I don’t know how this has two more books. 

This book was awful. When I heard about this series, all I could think of was oh this is going to be like a gender swap version of Castle. That can't be further from the truth. This woman is supposed to be a mystery writer, but she still believes that she killed a person. Not to mention the disguise and alias is literally the ex-husband's new wife. So not only does she believe that she murdered somebody, but she also inadvertently framed an innocent woman. The fact that she is a fiction writer but he's using actual people's names is absolutely mind-boggling to me. Not to mention her new book is apparently based on the murder she is currently involved in. This felt like a high schooler instead of a mom of two.

I think I found my least favorite genre. Fiction about real people. But this has to be the worst one yet. You take something major that is critical to British history and you make them all American? The least you could do is set it where it actually happened. It almost felt wrong to read this. And Anna of Cleveland?? What the fuck was that?
