The Goblins of Bellwater by Molly Ringle My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of The Goblins of Bellwater in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist While The Goblins of Bellwater by Molly Ringle has its merits, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, earning it a 3-star review. The Details One aspect that may contribute to a middling rating is the predictable nature of the plot. The storyline, while engaging, follows some well-trodden paths in the fantasy romance genre.

Lipstick Voodoo (Kincaid Strange, #2)
Lipstick Voodoo by Kristi Charish My rating: 2 of 5 stars I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I had trouble reading this one.

From the Earth to the Shadows (Valkyrie #2)
From the Earth to the Shadows by Amanda Hocking My rating: 2 of 5 stars I was given this ARC by the publisher in return for an honest review. I was hoping for a nail-biting conclusion to this duology, but sadly the story got lost along the way. I found the main character to be inconsistent from the first book to the second one. All of a sudden, talk revolved around her maybe/almost boyfriend and how happy she was to be with him and his almost smile lifts the corners of his mouth etc. etc. I get it, having new and exciting feelings for someone can take over, but please…
