The Minotaur Sampler, Volume 15 Reviews

3.5
“Thank you to Netgalley and the publishing teams flow allowing me access to this sampler. There are a couple that I feel like are must reads like the Bachelorette Party and Forget Me Not. But the others I'm still on the fence on. I will say all the samples left me wanting more, which is the goal.”
“Thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and Minotaur Books for the sampler in exchange for an honest review. I love getting to read a bit of the beginning of books to see if I actually want to dive in or not. Parents Weekend - I'm 50/50 on this one; I like that it has chapters from multiple characters. Marguerite by the Lake - I didn't get enough to fully understand it. So Happy Together - the main character is totally wild, but I’m not into reading about obsession. The Bachelorette Party - this one caught my attention with its two timelines and the island setting. Party of Liars - didn’t grab me much; I usually like chapters from different characters, but this one just didn’t do it for me. Forget Me Not - 50/50 interesting...”
“I have read each of these first few chapters and am so excited for them to come out. I was selected to Review Parents weekend so I am excited to dive into that one and finish reading it. Each book has great build up in the first few chapters leaving me wanting to continue reading more. Thank you for giving me a preview of these books!”
