The Presence by Philip Meese
slow-paced
1.5
I loved the first 20% or so. But this book fell down a rabbit hole of rambly descriptions and unimportant subplots. It was way too long trying to cram way too much into it. I won't be reading more in this supposed series.
One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware
medium-paced
4.0
A Bit drawn out but I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!
Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening by Marjorie Liu
medium-paced
3.0
A generous ⭐⭐⭐ The illustrations are gorgeous, but the story ddidn't wow me. I enjoyed it but wasn't blown away. I'm intrigued enough to check out volume 2.
Sweet Little Lies by Jill Shalvis
Did not finish book. Stopped at 75%.

Technically I DNF at 54% but I wanted his reaction when he learned the truth so skimmed. I don't care about their HEA... quitting after the break up.
There's too many smut scenes spanning various steam levels (11 by the time I quit at 75%), and I don't like stories with secrets and lies. FMC totally misrepresented herself.
I liked the first third of the book so I'm rating 1.75⭐ instead of 1. I forgot how much this author uses sex to drive her stories while the romance takes a secondary role. Blacklisted. Sorry not sorry. This trash is why I gave up reading romance novels a few years ago.
