Kini’s Friday Kisses: Mini reviews for books by Adriana Herrera, Tarryn Fisher, and JN Welsh

December 20, 2019 by Kini Leave a Comment

Here’s a quick round up of books I’ve read recently. Although I don’t have much to say about them. It’s the end of the year, I think I will hit my goal of starting 100 books this year, but have quite a few DNFs this year. I will have more of a wrap up next week. 

Mangos and Mistletoe by Adriana Herrera– This is super sexy story centered around two competitors of a holiday baking show. (Think Great British Bake Off). This was my first book by Herrera, I have at least one of her Dreamer series on my TBR I just haven’t read it yet. The story was okay for me, fluffy and as I said sexy. But it also felt like it was lacking development of one of the plot points that felt thrown in by no resolution. It’s a quick read and other readers may not latch on to the thing that I did and not mind that it didn’t get resolved. 

Grade: C
Amazon l Goodreads

The Wives by Tarryn Fisher– It’s been a while since I read anything by Fisher, but all the things I remember of the books I read (The Opportunist series) were here. Engaging and twisty in the best of ways. Not a romance. There really isn’t much else to say without spoiling any of it. But when you read it, PLEASE email/DM me when you are finished reading so we can talk about it. 

SPOILER CONTENT WARNINGS
Unreliable narrator, severe mental illness, postpartum psychosis, polygamy, miscarriage, intimate partner violence

Grade: B
Amazon l Goodreads

In Rhythm by JN Welsh– The characters are DJs and that was interesting but they felt young to me. The first 20% felt slow and wasn’t capturing me. Definitely a case of me and not the book but I DNF this. I think that readers who are in to the world of EDM/DJ would probably really enjoy this book.

Grade: DNF
Amazon l Goodreads

I also read Mermaid Inn by Jenny Holiday (1/28/20) and The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon (6/9/20). Both were solid reads and I will have reviews as it gets closer to their release dates.
