JO MOONLESS BOMB-REVIEWING

There’s a soon to be author, Jo Moonless, who is bomb-reviewing indie/debut authors for no valuable reasons.

She has supposedly read 12 books in a row by indie/debut authors whom she gave one star rating each on Goodreads (one has evolved into a 2 star recently but started with one star).

Her reasons for giving one star to each of these books ? Let’s get into it.

Reviewed on 08.12.2023 :

• Fear the Flames, by Olivia Rose Darling (debut author)

→ DNF at chapter 3

→ “not in the mood to hate read” (ah yes because that’s the book’s problem and not yours…)

→ doesn’t like a character’s name, says it’s too much of a fuck boy name to be respected (???)

→ the writing

Reviewed on 09.12.2023 :

• Heavenly Bodies, by Imani Erriu (debut author)

→ DNF at chapter 2

→ “I can already tell this is gonna be full of tropes and clichés” (but hasn’t read more than 2 chapters so how would she know)

→ “I am reading for quality, for more than just a good story” (…)

→ the writing

• The Curse of Ophelia, by Nicole Platania (indie author)

→ DNF

→ “smells like something I have read before” (???)

• Heir of Fates, by Rowan Redfield (indie author)

→ DNF at chapter 1

→ nothing she disliked but nothing that hooked her (so she gave one star and dnf at chapter 1… what?)

• The Goddess and the Hawk, by Chiara Gala (debut author)

→ DNF at chapter 1

→ great energy but the book needs heavy editing

→ smut

→ too much telling (backstories… in chapter one? Seems normal to me… how is it too much if she only read chapter one???)

• The King’s Weapon, by Neena Laskowski (indie author)

→ DNF at chapter 1

→ “feels like a story I have read before”

→ not interesting enough to hook me (maybe read more than chapter one…)

→ the writing

• Daughter of Darkness : Wielder of Shadows, by Allie Cole (debut author)

→ DNF after a few paragraphs

→ “the writing? Like something I wrote before I ever started taking writing seriously” (for someone who isn’t even an author yet… pretentious much?)

→ wasn’t hooked (but again, she read a few paragraphs only so… is she even trying?)

• How Does It Feel? By Jeneane O’Riley (indie author)

→ DNF at chapter 2

→ the MC is beautiful and the villains not good enough (buuuuut she only read a few chapters)

→ the writing and needs editing

• Dream by the Shadows, by Logan Karlie (debut author)

→ DNF

→ “too vague and too generic” (okay that’s a fair reason I guess)

→ “the story might not be something I have read before, but the writing itself feels like it” (nevermind)

→ the writing was something she read before (I mean, there isn’t millions of ways to write a book Jo!)

Reviewed on 14.12.2023 :

• Powerless, by Lauren Roberts (debut author)

→ “immediate no” (so I’m guessing she opened it and straight up closed it?)

→ “the prose was not posing” (does that even mean something?)

• The Stars are Dying, by Chloe C. Peñarando (indie author)

→ DNF at the prologue (the prologue??!!)

→ “the prologue is to die for (not in a good way)”

→ the writing

• The Silver Birds, by Apolline Lucy (use to have 1 star, now has 2) (debut author)

→ DNF after chapter 1 (maybe she hates reading?)

→ “the writing was okay but not enough to charm me”

→ “I missed the details that could really immerse me into the story and make me feel” (TRY READING MORE THAN ONE CHAPTER MAYBE JO?!)

→ stopped reading because of the writing even though the story was up her alley (I have read this book, the writing is exquisite by the way)

First you’ll notice how she DNF all the books (most of them at chapter one) but still has a lot to say about them.

Then, the dates these books were reviewed on : if not the same day, close. Not a proof because obviously she could have read them at any time, but still weird.

Third, most of these authors are debut authors, who are trying their best at writing. Maybe encouraging them instead of bringing them down would be a better thing to do? Or strategy, considering she’s about to put a book out herself soon…

She even posted online (Instagram) about how proud she was to be hated by indie authors :

Finally, I wonder if she even bought the books… just to DNF all of them at the beginning? As a soon to be debut indie author herself, she better…

When her book comes out, I’ll read it, but the writing better be like something I’ve never read before. And if I didn’t get into the story straight up at chapter one, I guess I’ll DNF and rate it one star. Just like she did.

I encourage you to seek these books and read them to make your own opinion. I’m sure some of them are good and will be to your liking. If you do like them, give them a rating on Goodreads and boost some confidence into these authors.

📚The Stars are Dying 📚

This book took so long to build up. I’m not particularly fond of the writing style. I feel like it’s written in a riddle. I found myself rereading certain parts over and over again it didn’t flow right for my brain. There’s a lot of action which I like but it was so much going on trying to figure out her connection with Nyte. Trying to solve the trials . Her memories being gone . Her magick. It’s so much 😭😭 I wish it was broken down and separated better . I enjoy the story line and the characters. I really really with we got more of Rose and her and Cassias relationship. Even Astrea and Cassias relationship. They introduced them once with one visit and boom apparently they would die for each other???

This scene was absolutely perfection

^ only 80% done with the book I have a feeling the rest of this book will be rushed which is unfortunate.

📚Final Review 7/10 📚

HOOLLLYYYY MOLLLYYYY UMMMMM this scene here!!!!! 😭 before everything went to crap! I’m not gonna lie Nyte had me fooled . The scar on his face! The way the brother knew and wouldn’t just tell her from the beginning??! Apparently this book isn’t a stand alone the next one comes out next year 😭😭😭😭 it was soooo good. I want to keep reading just to know if Nyte is really the villain or only doing this to find a way for them to coexist together. I think she can go with him through the veil tbh . Anyway I will be getting the next book once it’s released!

But more importantly, I hope it was yours. It seems freedom becomes you when you dance, and I have to wonder what it is that makes you feel caged.

ARC Review

I was so thrilled to get an ARC copy of the new book by Chloe C. Peñaranda, The Stars Are Dying! I will try to be as spoiler free in my review as possible, but believe me when I say, if you LOVE fantasy romance, this book has it all. The book will be available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited and retailers on July 11.

*Summary as seen on Goodreads*

"The brightest star needs the darkest night." In a world abandoned by the celestial guardians and left to suffer a tyrant king’s reign, all Astraea knows is safety in seclusion. With fragmented memories of only five years of her life, she’s determined to discover more about her past, even if that means fleeing the cruel arms that hold her safe from the wicked vampires rumored to roam the land. But when Astraea stumbles upon the mysterious Nyte, she soon realizes determination alone isn’t enough to guard her heart. He lingers like the darkness that expands between the stars, and soon she discovers her captor’s wicked means of control weren’t based on a lie to keep her under locks after all. In her desperation, Astraea accepts Nyte’s help before she can decide if she might have sold her allegiance to one of the bloodthirsty beings the people of her world fear. Once their bargain is struck, Astraea’s chance to escape comes in the form of accompanying her best friend Cassia to the King’s Central. There on royal territory it’s the centenary of the Libertatem, a succession of trials hosted by the king in which five human lands compete for a cycle of safety from the vampires seeking blood, claiming souls, and savaging after dark. So when tragedy strikes, Astraea must decide if taking the place of a murdered participant for the safety of her kingdom is a ruse is worth dying for, or if protection—and the answers to her past—really are her strongest desires.

My Thoughts on The Stars Are Dying (Nytefall, Book 1) by Chloe C. Peñaranda

Sharing my thoughts on The Stars Are Dying (Nytefall, Book 1) by Chloe C. Peñaranda

I’ve been wanting to read Chloe C. Peñaranda’s books for a while now, but was waiting for the entire An Heir Comes to Rise series to be published before I started as I just know I’m going to consume those books once I start them and I can’t take too many cliffhangers at once especially with the amount of books I read. I need closure. So, when I saw that they were releasing The Stars Are Dying, I…

. . . There seems to be a slight misunderstanding, my friend. At this table, you are the challenger. Because, unlike the house, the gambler knows exactly what they want.
