I enjoyed this much more than than it's predecessor. Although, I would have liked a little more foreshadowing here. OR, maybe showing us some of their badassery and not telling us? I know that doesn't make sense but it does in my head >.<...more

I didn't dislike this book per se, but I can't say I actually "liked" it either, as a whole. It was kind of boring at times, and considering the content? That says something. I also wished we had more background as a whole. We are just expected to know that this is here and now, and oh hey! by the way, there are unicorns, and vampires, and people who can eat pain. OH MY
A few things I did like though: - morally, everyone was who they are, and each one owned it. - the different species(??) of individuals and what they could do. - the ending. I need book 2 and I am hoping it's more entertaining...more

I really enjoyed this. It’s fast paced, creepy, sexy, and thrilling all at once. However, there are parts that weren’t wrapped up and actually, not brought up again. Like Brad. What had happened?!
Either way, great first read of the year! If you you’re serial killer & dark romance obsessed, this is for you! But, check the TW! ...more
Not giving a star rating, because this book is full of triggers and it’s weird saying it’s 5 stars or 1 s**spoiler alert** I have many, many thoughts…
Not giving a star rating, because this book is full of triggers and it’s weird saying it’s 5 stars or 1 star. Because I didn’t LIKE parts, while others didn’t bother me at all. It’s hard to put that sort of thing into a “rating.” But I mean, I read it lol
I text my friend who practically begged me to read this, my thoughts:
Well. My initial thought stands: it wasn’t as bad as people made it out to be, and definitely not as good, either. And, in her case, she definitely loves a person for how they make her feel ...more
4.5 stars I have said it a thousand times, and I will probably say it a thousand times more; but I lSee this review and more on my blog, Lilybloombooks
4.5 stars I have said it a thousand times, and I will probably say it a thousand times more; but I love stumbling on books that I have heard next to nothing about and end up loving.
Drowned is nothing like anything I have read before. Sure, it's a dystopian. But the world, the characters and the horror of it all mashed together makes it an awesome read.
This world is depressing. It's a small Island, in which the residents have to stand on a platform during high tide so they are not swept away. There's hardly any water (ironic as that sounds), the only food is fish and the seas are laden with sea creatures that made me shiver. It took a little time for the details to come on how the world became the way it was, but it was worth the wait.
Coe made this book for me. There are parts of her personality that are so innocent and naive that made my heart ache but, she is strong, smart and has a heart that rivals her Island is size. There are many things that she does to help and protect the few she loves and even when it came to her interactions with the princess, she proved time and again that for such a small girl she is BIG. Even when things are at their worst, she never lost her faith or hope that things could and would get better.
The other characters, such as the princess Star, Tiam and Finn add another deep layer to the book. Tiam was hard to read at first, because it didn't seem like his intentions were clear. But as the story progressed, it was so obvious and my heart swelled. Star, is such an oblivious, naive snob that tried my patience. This was the perfect example of how great a person Coe was, because had it been me in her shoes, I would have knocked her off her high horse and on her pretty ass more times than I could count. Finn, as with Tiam, was hard to read. And that's all I am going to say about him.
The Narrator This is my first audio narrated by Amanda Dolan but I will be looking for more books narrated by her. I loved her voice as Coe! I have great luck lately with narrators and she is definitively one of my new favs!
There were some big plot twists that came out towards the end - one I kind of saw coming but the other one really rocked my world. The ending too, left on a major cliffhanger and a heartbreaking one at that. It's the best kind though, the ones that make you ache and long for the next book! I highly recommend it!

This was a quick, fun listen! It wasn't very... deep? Sure, the subject matter is dark but there was a lot of room to go with it. If that makes sense. Also, Delilah is my kind of character. You think you know someone....
As far as narration, it was well well done but nothing special or memorable. I listen at 1.3x speed and it was manageable!
Trigger warning: domestic & family abuse, stalking, suicide, drug use...more
Well written and put together but holy hell, it is horrific what this family, and many others, went through because of this couple, especially Shelly.Well written and put together but holy hell, it is horrific what this family, and many others, went through because of this couple, especially Shelly. Not the easiest book to listen to and not for the faint of heart.

I’ll have to say, the twist wasn’t that surprising to me. Honestly, the personality change of very specific characters clued me in and that’s where I paid a lot of attention, so the big reveal made sense.
Still, I thought it was good and a quick listen, the narrator was fantastic! ...more
Well, this was unexpectedly delightful. Ironic, considering the thrilling content. I finished this pretty much in one sitting (two, actually) I was SOWell, this was unexpectedly delightful. Ironic, considering the thrilling content. I finished this pretty much in one sitting (two, actually) I was SO interested in where the story was going. My favorite is the writing and how Michael told his story - it dropped little hints of where things where going and how it would end.
I kind of dislike the ending - because it feels... unresolved? However, I also believe that is how it's meant to be, so we are able to think about whether or not what was said is true or not.
Defiantly recommend for those true crime and thriller lovers out there.
(also, true crime followers will recognize a few other famous (or infamous?) crimes mentioned.)...more

That is really all I can think to say about The Push . I loved the writing, and how the story was told and unfolded in the end. I do not necessarily love the content, ifkyk, but the way it was told was fantastic. I couldn't stop listening even though my solid mama heart was beginning me to at times.
I legit got chills when I heard the last sentence. I think about this book often and will probably re read sometime this year.
Highly recommend.

I will be picked it up from the library soon for a reread. I love how different this story is - it was nothing like I have ever read - which is hard to do! The writing is beautiful.

Her story is one that has always left me intrigued - and while this isn't a non fiction in the full sense, I thought that Camilla Bruce did an excellent job weaving her story the way she did.
I also loved the chapters of Bella's sister. Again, while not non fiction, it was fun to get an inside look at what a family member is possibly thinking and feeling.
I highly recommend this book for everyone!
