Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.25
The beginning is a bit slow, I was kind of confused as to what was happening. It wasn’t until a third of the book when you know what’s really going on.
It’s not a bad thing, I was able to be hooked the entire book, wanting to know exactly what was going on with this freak family haha.

Divine Might by Natalie Haynes

I did really enjoy this, I liked how it focused on the goddess and especially the fact that Hestia was added in.
Overall good information and some add in modern day comparison

I’m still a little confused as to what exactly happened.
It kind of said the creatures are close to vampires but were gargoyles but also not that. I got that they were like fly insect things?? I have no idea. It claimed it was all explained but it really wasn’t.
Overall the plot was okay. I felt like it was kind of slow paced, right away I got that Reid didn’t really give a shit about Ana and was more inconvenienced with being married to her. As the story went on I just was really not liking the characters

Some stories were really interesting some I just read through without taking in much.
The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig

Honestly not my favorite. I didn’t really like any of characters in this book, couldn’t stand Maddie so every time it was her POV I kind of just rolled my eyes. I did enjoy Oliver and liked the plot. I would have dropped it but the plot was there.
The Demon's Bargain by Katee Robert

Good story with some good smut. I really liked all the different characters and the fact that there was non binary characters.
The ending was good too!

Walking Practice by Dolki Min

Such a fast read but oh my god it’s hilarious. Got me bursting out laughing multiple times throughout the book.
Definitely will recommend this. Ending is a bit sad, I do wish it ended how they had hoped for, but still 5 stars!!

Holy shit this book is very good, but so sad??
I definitely recommend stretching it out, I read it all in one quick stretch because of how depressing it is. There isn’t much happy moments and Theo is quite the downer. I felt like he had so many options to change his life for the better but he kept digging himself into a hole and he knew it!!!
