It draws to a close

Revisado: 04-02-25

I enjoyed these books, both sets, this book being my least favorite. It was still a fun ride. Spoilers: I was looking forward to hearing about Sylvia and Gabe’s relationship, but this final book lacks that. It’s very disappointing. The book also has far too much angst. I felt like I was reading about a middle-school girl making very poor decisions most of the time. Sylvia didn’t learn throughout the books. She kept making the same mistakes over and over. Those mistakes could’ve gotten people killed. I prefer characters that learn and grow. I also like happy endings that aren’t rushed. And I definitely could’ve done without Willie.

Reconsider this writing trope

Revisado: 10-15-24

I’m enjoying the books for the most part, but notice a very frustrating pattern with the main character. We’re to believe she’s smart yet continually puts herself in situations where she’s physically harmed, and if it weren’t for dumb luck, she’d have been raped, murdered or both. This writing trope is infuriating. It’s happened repeatedly already and we’re only two books in.

Too Many Now - Time to Stop

Revisado: 01-17-24

I really enjoyed these in the past. There are too many now. I find myself fast-forwarding to get to the end. I’m barely focused on the stories anymore because they feel like they’re being written just to have another “episode” available for financial gain. Don’t get me wrong, financial gain away, but this story should’ve ended a while ago. I won’t be purchasing anymore.

Shouldn’t be surprised

Revisado: 12-04-23

This is bittersweet for me. Although not necessarily a royal watcher, I absolutely loved Diana. She would be so disappointed at the level of hate and manipulation thrown at Harry (and Meghan) from his brother and Kate, with full complicity of the media. It’s vile. They’re vile. May the Monarchy come to an end quickly. The corruption within the institution itself is disgusting.

Too many irritating characters

Revisado: 11-26-23

Mom, Dad, ex-boyfriend….to be honest, I got to a point where I didn’t care who committed the murder, I just wanted her to stand up for herself. VERY frustrating.

Very Enjoyable

Revisado: 05-27-23

These audiobooks were very enjoyable. The story kept good pace and was low on angst. It’s hard to find 43 hours of story and not speed up the narration in spots just to get through it. I can happily say, that didn’t happen here. And the narrator did a great job!👍

I Prefer Less Angst

Revisado: 09-20-22

My rating of 3 stars is because I’m not a fan of angst and emotional immaturity. Too many of the characters had these same issues. If you are ok with angst-filled stories, this is worth a credit.

Couldn’t Finish

Revisado: 05-07-22

I was enjoying this book until the kidnapping nonsense. It was such a turn-off, I couldn’t finish. It’s beyond difficult to read/listen to stories where all is forgiven if the proper goo goo eyes are thrown a female’s way. Or his package is just too glorious. Seriously?! There is no relating to the world written about here. This is so degrading to women. And it’s written by a woman. Even worse. I never got past chapter 21. I have no idea if it improved. Wasn’t willing to spend the time, even at twice the speed.

Exhausting Characters

Revisado: 03-28-22

I’m glad I started reading Penny’s books with the Winston Brothers series instead. They were very enjoyable. So far, with the Knitting in the City books, I’ve listened to books 1, 1.5 and 2 and the one word that fits for me is exhausting. The books could’ve been 8 hours shorter, each. The neuroticism of the characters really detracts from the stories and lengthens them unnecessarily. Had I started reading Penny Reid with this series, I may not have read any others. Don’t know if I’ll finish the series at this point.

Pretty good

Revisado: 02-17-22

I had a hard time with the male narrator. He’d be great for action adventure and kids books.
