How I Review Books

I only review Indie books within the Fantasy or Mystery genres. The books were independently published by the author when I wrote the reviews.

I use stars to rate the books and I don't post reviews that I gave less than 3 stars.

  • 3 stars: the book was okay, but not for me.
  • 3.5 stars: the book was okay and resonated a bit more with me.
  • 4 stars: I liked the book a lot, but there were quite a few things I was missing.
  • 4.5 stars: I liked the book a lot, but there was a thing or two I was missing.
  • 5 stars: I LOVED the book!
