Why did I add Nemesis to my bookshelf?
I downloaded this book from NetGalley ages ago and ran out of time to read it before publication. I still think that it sounds really good and I probably would have finished it but there is no audiobook available. The reviews for this book look pretty good overall. Hopefully, I can start this one sometime soon.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
I’ve decided to join in with this link up starting today!
I remember when this book was all over the place but this is the first time I’ve seen it in ages.
OOh nice! I vaguely remember this one! I read it so long ago, possibly from Netgalley too! I think it was a duology. She was one of those authors I enjoyed who just disappeared from the book world some years ago. I loved her one mermaid trilogy too! Hope you’re able to read this one eventually!
I haven’t read it, but that cover is pretty cool.
I read this book! I just looked at my review, and it seems I was mad about something that happened at the end. I read it back in 2016, but I recall enjoying it. Hope you do, too!
I haven’t read it but I really like the cover.
