A Touch of Malice by Scarlett St. Clair
fast-paced

All over the place. Had a hard time keeping up with order of events. No character growth, no growth in the relationship. Some good moments, but Not sure if I will continue the series.

I liked it, but I don’t recommend the audiobook. The voices drove me crazy!
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett

Good writing, great atmosphere, but just wasn’t obsessed with the plot. There are a series of conflicts that get resolved over the course of the story, and the end is kind of anticlimactic. Looking forward to the sequel to see if the story takes a better shape! Romance was pretty tepid as well.
Under One Roof by Ali Hazelwood

Just finished, and I’m surprised! For 3/4 of the book, there was no romance, just pining. Then they hook up one night and IT ENDS?! No talking at all?! No resolution about what happens to her old boss or if Liam changes jobs? What?! I had to double check I didn’t miss a chapter. The writing was pretty cringe. “He’s just so big and tall, and I’m so small!” But hey, it was a guilty pleasure.

So boring. Too long. Predictable. I did not care about the main character. Half of the book was about her lover! Conflict and resolution was last 50 pages of the book. And the book was 450 pages!!!
Happy Place by Emily Henry

Recently I’ve read a couple books, including this one, that bounce between time periods, and I’m definitely getting sick of it. I find that it really slows the book down. And I guess it’s a bit lazy. Happy Place is nice, but not one of my favorite Emily Henry books. I was constantly questioning the characters’ actions and thought process.
