Neon Gods by Katee Robert
(Dark Olympus, book 1)
Rating: N/A – DNF
Review: No
Format: Audiobook
Reading Dates: Aug 19 – Sept 7
Read Count: 0.5
Favorite Thing: Interesting premise
Least Favorite Thing: This book made me feel oogy?
I tried to read this for Katesbookdate‘s patreon book club and… I swear this was almost porn-without-plot, it was barely not that. I felt so uncomfortable the whole time, not about the sex, but about how every single thing – good or bad – brought on a new sex scene. Also…the way he talked to her was shudder inducing.

Favorite Thing: The oracle!
Least Favorite Thing: Why can’t people just tell other people things?
I probably won’t ever read these books again, but because I feel like I’ve really aged out of them. But it was a nice little throw-back.

Favorite Thing: Telepath Teamup!
Least Favorite Thing: I can’t even think of anything, I take these books as they are lol
So I’ve read this before, physically, but I listen to music or audiobooks while I work now and I needed something fluffy so of course I went for the Sookie Stackhouse books. I’ve been trying to slowly work my way through, but once I start one I just can’t turn it off!

Favorite Thing: I love the way everyone talks. No the accents, but like the word choice and the…cadence maybe?
Least Favorite Thing: She’s so painfully selfish, the movie definitely took some of that out.
I love this movie so much, and I have listened to a different audiobook version in the past, but I think this one was better.
