Book Divas (227 KP) rated Salem's Vengeance (Vengeance Trilogy, #1) in Books

Dec 12, 2017

I received a free ebook copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.

The Salem Witch Trials have always intrigued me as I am fascinated and appalled at the naivety of people. This book's story line takes place 19 years after those trials and the author's creative writing transported me in to the story. Strong and well developed were the story and its characters and the revelations that are revealed via a journal were outstanding. I cannot wait to read the second book and I highly recommend that everyone reads it.

Book Divas (227 KP) rated Return Me to Myself in Books

Dec 12, 2017

I received an ebook copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This book had so much possibility however; I found myself getting confused during many parts of the story because the author themselves seemed confused when writing. I was completely thrown off by the fact that though her father sexually abused her she was more angry at her mother. This book was in need of proofreading before it went to print. A few typographical errors is one thing but this book seemed to be plagued by many. The book cover is absolutely beautiful. I don't recommend this book to any one.

Platform with potential

I appreciate the function that borrowbox is providing but it is not a slick platform at all. I use it for library ebooks and audio. Ebooks are easier to read through the app but audios are absolutely problematic to use. For audio, download is clunky, and the lack of bookmarks is a nightmare. It is so easy to lose your place. Searching for books takes patience. This is nowhere near the usability of its competitors overdrive and libby. Much development needed.

It’s not something I would read but I received this eBook in the February Fresh Fiction Book Box and this is the first book I decided to start and I loved it. The perfect amount of humor from some of the ghosts and I love the developing friendship between P.I. Melissa Kennedy and Detective Daniel Forrester they make a great team which I can see is going to turn to romance further in the series I just hope I don’t have to wait too long for the second book which is out sometime in the summer.

Good selection and it doesn't cost a thing. (0 more)

Almost all the audio books are abridged (0 more)

Great for eBooks

Like having a public library in your pocket. I used it, primarily, for audio books. I burned through the unabridged selection very quickly and stopped using it.

The eBook portion of the app is really good though. You can port it to almost any ereader and again, it is free just like the library.

If they would have a better selection of audio books that were not abridged, I would be back on this platform in a heartbeat.
