Nail Polish and Feathers (4/5)

Nail Polish and Feathers
Jo Ramsey


                            I received this book through NetGalley. Thank you to Jo Ramsey and Dreamspinner Press.


                             Nail Polish and Feathers is about a 16 year old boy named Evan, who has no problem with being himself. He is openly gay, and wears nail polish as well as other "feminine" items to school. Unfortunately, this comes with struggles; and when bullies start to go to far, Evan has to choose between blending in, and being himself.


                              I love this book. Even is such an inspiring character, even though the things that happen to him are truly barbaric. Evan is proud of who he is. The story is very sad, but also gives people going through the same situations hope. I also love drag queens, Courtney Act and Alaska Thunderfvck 5000 being my favorite, so this book also got points for that. Overall, I give this book a four out of five stars, because it was great, but It's not one of my favorite books. This book is the first installment in the Deep secrets and hope series, and I can't wait to read the rest.


                              Thank you for reading another one of my reviews, and I will see you soon with more.

Killing at the Carnival (2 out of 5 stars)

Killing at the Carnival (Cassie Pengear Mysteries #1)
L.A. Nisula.


                        I received a free reviewers edition of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Red Adept publishing (Which auto-approved me!) and L.A. Nisula.


                         Killing at the Carnival is about an American woman name Cassie Pengear who likes to solve mysteries and poke her head into places where the authorities think she doesn't belong (Think Nancy Drew, but a steam punk version). Set in Steam punk Britain, Cassie is attending a carnival with her landlady and his nephew when they visit a cowboy show. But the gun trick isn't a trick, and the volunteer doesn't get back up. Now the police have arrested the wrong man, and Cassie must solve the case before it's too late.

                       This book is about 100 pages, and is a nice cozy mystery. I gave this book two out of five stars, however, because it was a little too whimsical to be a mystery to me. There wasn't enough suspense, and I found as if the police were just too dumb. I mean, there barely did any investigation. How convenient right? It's a nice story however, and someday I will eventually read the other books in the series. If you like cozy mysteries that don't have too much suspense, then this book is for you.

Thank you for reading another one of my reviews, and I will be back with more soon.
