Ten of My Most Recent Lowest-Rated Reads

Ten of My Most Recent Lowest-Rated Reads

July 25, 2023 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 5 Comments

This week I’m sharing ten of the most recent lowest-rated reads. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I changed this week’s topic a little bit because I don’t DNF a lot of books. So instead I decided to share some of my most recent reads that I have given a low rating to. As I said I don’t DNF much. Most of the time I want to know what’s going to happen in the book, so it does mean I do give a few 1-2 stars. And that is what I am sharing today. 

I do want to say this before I get into this post. These books just aren’t for me. I read a lot of books and sometimes they aren’t what I like. It might be the writing of the author, it might be the characters. It might just be the plot. But you may love the book, so if I don’t like sometimes, it doesn’t mean that you won’t. These are solely based on my reading. 

So let’s get into it now. Here are some of my most recent lowest-rated reads. From dark romance to something a little light. Nevertheless, here are the books that weren’t really for me. 

Bloody Lucky: A Thornbriar Academy Story by Cali Mann. – 1 Star | Wicked Heir (Chernov Bratva, #1) by Mila Kane. – 2 Stars. | Sin by Seven Rue – 2 Stars. | Burn Butterfly Burn (Masked Duet, #2) by Reese Rivers. – 2.5 Stars. 

Lies like Rubies, Part One by Poppy Jacobson – 2 Stars.  | Ember & Her Marshals (Pack Bonds, #2) by Rosemary A. Johns. – 2 Stars. | Steal Me (Haunted Roads #1) by India R. Adams. – 2 Stars. | Cal (Secrets and Lies, #1) by B.J. Alpha – 2 Stars. 

Mine for Yours by Harloe Rae – 2 Stars. | Furore (The Night Skulls MC #1) by N.J. Adel – 1 Star. 

And there we go! Those are some of my recent lowest-rated reads. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What are some of your recent lowest-rated reads? So, let’s chat!

    I haven’t read any of these. My lowest rated book this year so far was The House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward. That was a DNF book for me.

    Here’s my list for today: https://bookbabenails.wordpress.com/2023/07/25/top-ten-tuesday-books-i-dnfd/

    It’s interesting to see how differently people react to the same book. I thought your post was very balanced and fair. 🙂

    Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.

    I rarely read romance, so I’m not familiar with any of these. I’m sorry they weren’t as good as you wanted them to be, though. That’s always disappointing!

    Happy TTT!

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
