Review: All My Darkest Impulses

All My Darkest Impulses All My Darkest Impulses by Lisa Unger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Starting out like a great Halloween read. Wish I had read this collection in October.

On a side note, everyone in this story seems to have or had black hair (except one person so far). I really hope that's going to be woven into the story.

Review: Holiday Ever After: One Snowy Night/Holiday Wishes/Mistletoe in Paradise

Holiday Ever After: One Snowy Night/Holiday Wishes/Mistletoe in Paradise Holiday Ever After: One Snowy Night/Holiday Wishes/Mistletoe in Paradise by Jill Shalvis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I originally picked up the paperback copy of this book while shopping at a grocery store a week before Christmas. I NEVER buy books that way, but I was really looking for a good Christmas read (2021 has not been a good year) and the cover caught my eye. This book consists of 3 novellas.

The first book, One Snowy Night, grabs you from page 1. I was pulled in so much by Chapter 3 (page 27), that I also bought the book on Kindle so I could keep reading with the lights off.

The stories are all fast reads. I am going to have to look at mores works from this author. This is my first time reading anything by her, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Romance reads are rare for me, so this was a delightful surprise.

Review: 24 + 1 Christmas Tales: Butterfly Adventures in Santa's Secret City

24 + 1 Christmas Tales: Butterfly Adventures in Santa's Secret City 24 + 1 Christmas Tales: Butterfly Adventures in Santa's Secret City by Alexander Ruth
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received a Kindle edition of this book through a Goodreads Giveaway.

This story was cute. The chapters correspond to the dates in December leading up to Christmas, so this would be great as a bed time story for young children each night leading up to Christmas.

As an adult reading this, I really had a hard time keeping up with it each night as I wasn't getting getting into the story. I had a bout with COVID in the second half of November 2021 and I was really looking for something to help me get into the Christmas spirit. I had been really struggling with that this year for various reasons. This book did not help with that. In fact, I finished this story after Christmas.
