Morsel by Carter Keane
TL;DR: A little frustrating and dull. Source: NetGalley, thank you so much! Plot: Venturing out into the woods, Lou gets targeted by something that wants to devour her. Characters: There was some potential here but the storytelling itself didn’t work for me. Setting: I love a good woodsy horror, and that was fairly well drawn.

10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall
TL;DR: I think the tropes in this just weren’t for me. Source: NetGalley, thank you so much! Plot: Fake Amnesia to bring together a boss and employee with lots of family in the mix Characters: I liked Sam! Not really Jonathon though and that was probably the issue for me. Setting: I have very little to no recollection of any strong setting, but that wasn’t the point here. Romance:…
A Long and Speaking Silence by Nghi Vo

And Side by Side They Wander by Molly Tanzer
TL;DR: A great premise, but lacking overall for me. Source: NetGalley, thank you so much to the publisher! Plot: A crew of humans attempting to take back protected artwork from curating aliens (and a lot of meandering through memories). Characters: The worst part of this?

TL;DR: This was… aggressively fine. Source: NetGalley, thank you so much! Plot: Special girl goes on a journey with broody mercenary named Merc (I think that sums that up). Characters: A bit bland for me, I quickly grew tired of the same behavior over and over. Setting: This didn’t come through at all after a point. We went on a journey and it focused instead on ‘Oh no.’ and lust the whole time.…
