In 2019 my health started going down hill and I didn't take into consideration what that would mean for my book reviewing. Sadly, I've been trying to play catch up for years and it's been affecting my ability to keep up with present day tasks. So I greatly apologize for this but I am going to clear out all these older review books and focus on present day. I will come back and update this review if I end up reading the book, which is very possible as a lot of these books are still ones I would like to read, I just don't think the pressure looming over me is helpful. Thank you for giving me a chance to early read these books and I am so sorry I wasn't able to provide what was needed.

Gitte Tamar is just not for me. Their style and concepts are too mindmelting for me to enjoy. Sorry.

It was meh. It felt repetitive and I didn’t really connect with the characters. I had high hopes for this book but it just didn’t do it for me.

This was...a little hard to read. I'm not sure if it was the writing style, or that I just wasn't a fan of the main character (which it's fine to be a villain, but he was repetitive: I get it, you hate women and want to take them down a peg). It felt like a slog to get through. I think the tone was good, but it just wasn't personally for me.

This one wasn't a win for me. There was just something about this book that I couldn't get into. Maybe because there was no build up to the horrific things that happened. Maybe I just couldn't connect to the main character. But this one just didn't work for me.

Also lots of repetition and it was super wordy.
