My feelings about You, Again are mixed. I enjoyed the first third, felt indifferent to the middle third, and then cried my way through the final third. I even set it down around 60% because I just wasn’t into it. After reading a few other books in a different genre, I came back to it…

Masters of Death by Olivie Blake
Thoughts Masters of Death was a ride. Everyone came out to play: vampire, reaper, demon, angel, Death, godlings, and more. The dialog had me chuckling, cringing, and swooning. I am not typically a fan of angst or betrayal, but the emotions between Fox and Brandt were so well done. Their story is told through some…
