Most of these books I gave 3-ish stars to, so not too bad, but they were books I was excited to read. There was one book I gave 2 stars to that isn't listed here because it really wasn't a disappointment when my expectations for it weren't set that high 😂 I also don't want to talk about that book anymore 😆 Lol.
There was something just very boring about Salvation Day. I had previously DNFd a different book by this author for the same reason, so even though they had great premises, I guess now I know that her books are just not for me 🤷♀️
I loved League of Liars! I gave it 5 stars! Unfortunately I gave the sequel only 3.5 stars. I just found it to be a lot less intriguing than the previous book. It made me so sad ☹️
The Deep was another book with a good premise and a meh execution. Another uninteresting, slow one.
ahhh I'm gonna have to remove League of Liars from my TBR because the more I think about it, the less I wanna read it 😅 I truly wanted to give it a try, but...life's too short for something that doesn't excite me.
The "cozy" genre is truly a hit or miss for me, so I'm not surprised you also didn't have a great time with it. I think, us, adrenaline junkies, need a lot of elements done just right to have fun with a book that doesn't have a "too exciting" plot. Either the characters have to be so amazing, or there needs to be something specific present that we love e.g. the library society and the demon hunting not truly being a part of the plot is dissapointing 😅 So far, only one or maybe two cozy books have been just right for me, otherwise I find them boring 😂😂
I think I tried a Nick Cutter book a while back, they sounded so good, but then I couldn't get into it. I do like this topic, I might have to add a Top 10 with this. Hmm, maybe I'll make it my last discussion post that I need to meet my challenge! Sorry these didn't work out for you. https://lisalovesliterature.bookblog.io/2025/12/26/top-10-of-2025-favorite-new-or-new-to-me-authors/
