The Iron Flower by Laurie Forest
3.5
Felt like this was a lot of “filler” content and definitely did not need to be 600 pages.
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

“What if every problem was solved by someone else?” is not an interesting novel.
The Guest by B.A. Paris
2.5
If I had one word to describe this book, it would be bland. None of the main characters (Iris, Gabriel, Lauren) are particularly interesting and feel very one-dimensional. The pacing of this story is so slow, it doesn’t get interesting at all until 60% of the way through. And even then, it never really builds towards some big climactic moment.
I hate books that are written in a specific POV where the character basically just lies to themselves in their own head so that information is concealed from the reader. It makes the final reveal feel so unearned and not shocking.
This book’s final chapter is a confession/tell-all that not only goes on for way too long (and walks us through literally every single detail) but is also just a terrible and clumsy way to do a plot twist.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
