Hawkeye: Bishop Takes King by Ashley Poston review

 

Title: Hawkeye: Bishop Takes King

Author: Ashley Poston

Ch: 34

Pg: 278

 

Genre: Comic retelling, mystery superhero, Marvel

Rating: 5 stars

Publisher: Marvel Press

After Watching Hawkeye and reading all the Hawkeye comics I could that had Kate Bishop in it, I still wanted more Kate. Because I'm not holding out hope that the MCU is going to give us the young Avengers.  And I got more Kate in this one. Hawkeye: Bishop Takes King is the perfect combination of the comics and the TV show. Kate in the book is more like TV show Kate and the glimpses we get of Clint is more comic Clint than either MCU or TV Show Clint.  But what I loved most is seeing grow and become more of herself. Though Lucky stole the show.

The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston review

Title: The Seven Year Slip

Author: Ashley Poston

Ch: 40

Pg: 336

Genre: rom com

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Penguin random house

The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston ended up being a book I enjoyed more than I thought I would. This one gave me The Lake House vibes with a hint of Practical Magic. The Lake House because of Iwan and Clementine l living in separate years and Practical Magic because of the quirky aunt and her saying that seem to fit at the right moment.

I loved Clementine from the start because I don’t, I’ve ever read a character quite like her in a rom com. And for the fact that she was almost 30 and didn’t have her life together. This one was quick read.

The Seven Year Slip is a rom com that deals with figuring out adulthood, friendship and grief in a tactful way that just makes sense.

Trigger warning for suicide of a loved one.

The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston review

Title:  The Dead Romantics

Author:  Ashley Poston

Ch: 39 plus epilogue 

Genre:  Rom Com

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Berkeley

 

This was the perfect fall rom com. That gave me a little bit Casper and Wednesday Addams vibes. But grownups. Florence Day is the daughter of the town funeral director, and she sees ghosts. Which is part of the reason she hasn’t been in a decade.

This one gave me Hallmark movie vibes but with ghosts. It was a sweet read as Florence learns who she is and what she wants in life.
