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!
