Audiobook Review – Simultaneous


This was an interesting, fast-paced read. I liked the premise and the characters, but I had the distinct feeling it read like a screenplay adapted quickly into a novel. Though everything was easy to visualize, I feel like the characters and their relationships didn’t quite have the depth that I’m used to. And although it was a fun ride and sets up for a sequel, at the end, I just found myself not really satisfied.

At the 90% mark, I felt like I should be approaching the halfway mark rather than the end, and at the end, I feel like the characters’ development hadn’t made the significant strides I would’ve expected. I also felt like the audiobook narration read a little mechanically so I’m not sure how that affected my experience either. But if you’re looking for a plot-driven, fast-paced thriller with a fantastical edge, this might be for you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kept me turning pages, and I think I’d def still recommend it to sci-fi fans. I’m def curious to see what my husband thinks of it.

Thanks for reading!

Audiobook Review – The Inheritance


I love Ilona Andrews books but this one wasn’t my favorite. Though I liked the tie-in to the Innkeeper series, and I also like Elias’s POV, Ada was mostly by herself as she survived/explored the cave, and her parts dragged for me. Although there will be a sequel, this one had a satisfying ending and I did really like the concept, the world, and where the story seems to be headed, so I think will pick up the sequel when it comes out. Overall, I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a scifi survival story in an interesting world.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Definitely still keeping an eye out for book 2
