Deja Who (Insighter #1)
DEJA WHO (Insighter #1)
by MaryJanice Davidson
Genre: Adult, PNR
Stars: None (DNF - Did Not Finish)
There is no review for this one. I got about 40% into this read and couldn't finish it. I have enjoyed this authors books in the past, but this one just wasn't for me. It was a bit too cartoon-y and the characters were a little more animated than I like in my reads. I did like the plot and the world building, but I just couldn't get past the silliness of it all.

by Lora Leigh
Genre: Adult, Erotic Romance (M/F/M)
Stars: 2.5
"Overall, this read disappointed me. There was great potential there but so much was left unsaid that it left me dispassionate about it all. I couldn’t connect to the characters or the emotion so none of their pain and suffering made sense or mattered to me. Trust me, I wanted to connect. I love books like this… just not this one." - Hazel w/Craves the Angst, Reviewing for Cocktails and Books
