The Black Witch (The Black Witch Chronicles, #1) Book Review

The Black Witch by Laurie Forest
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This is the first time I have ever given a book one star. Just one. LOL I really felt like this book kept trying to go somewhere but it never made it to its destination. Mind you, I did not even finish this book. Maybe because I am not a “young adult”. I could not endure reading angst and pains of youth and subpar writing. I read about a third of this book and I just cant. So I gave up. Forgive me guys, but maybe this author needed a better editor cuz…yikes.

The Empress (The Diabolic, #2) Book Review

The Empress by S.J. Kincaid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So y’all already know how much I loved The Diabolic. Therefore, it would be a crime for me to NOT read the second book, The Empress. What I enjoyed about The Empress, is that I got a better view of the world/galaxy Kincaid has built. Now I don’t usually divulge the plot in my reviews but I must tell you how frustrated I am with Diabolic and her need to be in control of everything. But it’s her nature! Her greatest purpose, protecting her man, totally erupts despite her good intentions. Diabolic makes the biggest mistake ever!

Book Life Lessons: Low key, there is a lesson in this. If you’re anything like me, having a plan, motivation and a goal is a shield for failure. But you cannot plan your life around other peoples lives. We must stay in our lane and not try to run someone else race thinking its our duty to carry them. All your efforts just might blow up in your face and the person who you were running with becomes your greatest enemy. OUCH!

I cannot wait for the next book in this series and honestly, I feel like Kindcaid is just getting started. So is it a trilogy? May it not be so! We need two more books sis. Kincaid, continue to take your because we want you to bring us hot fire!

The Diabolic (The Diabolic, #1) Book Review

The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book has got to be one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Although this series is nothing like TOG, I have connected with Kincaid’s writing, characters, and plot. In my mind, Maas is the Queen of fae and Kincade is the Queen of outer space. The plot is excellent, the main character is utterly unique, and the worldbuilding is perfect. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. If you haven’t delved too deeply in sci-fi, give this book a try, its well worth your time and the audiobook is superb.
