Did We Read the Same Book?
I'm Sadie and each week I talk about the books I just read. I share real-time reactions and talk about the moments that stuck out to me, made zero sense, wrecked me, or made me question my choices. If you like Romantasy, Fantasy, Thriller, Crime, Dark Romances, and unhinged opinions, you're in the right place.
Episodes
A strange family shows up at your door claiming they used to live in your house. Do you let them in?
Apparently, the main character said, “Sure, why not?”
Now people are disappearing, the house is acting suspicious, nobody knows what's going on (including me), and I have approximately 47 questions about Thomas and his weird family.
So for real… did we read the same book?
Everyone loves Red Rising by Pierce Brown. I… thought it was okay. Darrow becomes a Gold, infiltrates an elite school, and then we spend the rest of the book playing war games. I forgot names, skimmed some battles, questioned my own attention span, and somehow made it to the end. I was told the series gets better so I still have hope!
Did we read the same book?
This week, we’re discussing Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams: a claustrophobic thriller full of terrible decisions, suspicious people, and enough twists to make us wish they had all just stayed home. I make a lot of guesses about what really happened and what the twists could be... I might even be right about some!
This week, we’re discussing Nobody’s Girl, Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir about surviving childhood abuse, being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and spending years fighting to be heard.
This episode is heavier than our usual chaos because there is no way to tell Virginia’s story without becoming furious, not only at the people who abused her, but at every adult, in...
This week I'm talking about House of Flame and Shadow, where I spent half the book trying to remember everyone's storyline, got way too excited every time the crossover characters showed up, and somehow ended up loving a series I almost gave up on.
Let's talk about the finale, the characters, the ending, and why I'm genuinely confused about what Sarah J. Maas could possibly do in a fourth book.
Did we read the same ...
This week I'm talking about My Husband's Wife by Alice Feeney, and this book had me making theories every few chapters.
From mysterious identities and missing women to family secrets and unreliable characters, I spent the entire book trying to figure out what was really happening... and while I guessed a few twists, plenty still caught me by surprise.
In this episode, I'm walking through my predictions as I read, wh...
This week I'm talking about Game On, by Navessa Alan, the third book in the Into Darkness series. This one had a little bit of everything, blackmail, underground gambling, fake dating, family secrets, tattoos, and enough drama to keep me entertained.
We also need to discuss that plot twist, the family drama, and the ending... because I definitely have thoughts.
Plus, I may or may not have listened to one of the spic...
I spent most of House of Sky and Breath wondering why this book was so long... and then Sarah J. Maas hit me with THAT ending.
This week I'm discussing the characters, the pacing, the twists, and the crossover that have me immediately reaching for the next book.
Did we read the same book?
This week I finally forced myself to read House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas…after attempting it FOUR separate times.
Did I understand everything? No.
Did I spend most of the book confused? Absolutely.
Did I end up emotionally devastated anyway? Unfortunately, yes.
We’re talking murder, demons, magical drugs, broody fallen angels, friendship trauma, portals to hell, and me liter...
In this episode we visit a similar storyline but with new characters and point of view. This week I read Her Soul for Revenge by Harley Laroux.
This one was not very original, but it offered a lot of action and spice. Maybe too much spice for my taste...but I finished it anyway!
Ghosts. Dating apps. A serial killer.
This week I’m reviewing Ask for Andrea by Noelle Ihli, a fast-paced thriller told from the POV of three murdered girls trying to get justice from beyond the grave.
Messy thoughts, honest reactions, and my final verdict—was it actually good?
This week on Did We Read the Same Book?, I dive into Her Soul to Take by Harley Laroux… completely blind. No synopsis. No prep. Just vibes.
What I thought was a dark romance quickly turned into demons, sacrifices, creepy cult energy, and a VERY bold main character making questionable life choices.
We’ve got:
– A ghost-hunting YouTuber who accidentally summons a demon
&ndash...
This week we’re diving into Little Secrets by Jennifer Hillier and… I have QUESTIONS!
We start with every parent’s worst nightmare- a child disappearing in seconds and somehow it only gets MORE chaotic from there. Cheating husbands, stalking, secret apps, emotional breakdowns, and yes… a hitman???
I went in blind, built about 15 different theories, trusted absolutely no one, and changed my ...
This week I reread Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and I forgot just how much science is in this book… and how much I absolutely do NOT understand it.
But somehow that doesn’t matter because the story is so good.
The real highlight of this book though? Rocky the alien “spider rock” who ends up becoming Grace’s best friend. Their friendship honestly carried the whole story for me.
I loved...
I picked up Beyond the Wand by Tom Felton expecting fun Harry Potter behind the scenes stories and ended up getting something much more personal. This book was incredibly funny, nostalgic, and surprising heartfelt and emotional.
I also talk about my brief interaction with Tom Felton vandalizing my book after seeing him in Broadway during his reprisal role in The Cursed Child!
This is disturbing, thought provoking, and left me with more questions than answers, especially the ending. In this episode I talk about Tender Is the Flesh by Augustina Bazterrica.
This week I’m diving into Forged in Blood by Sadie Kincaid, a paranormal reverse-harem full of vampires, magical bonding, emotional chaos, and a main character whose feelings literally control the weather.
I talk about what hooked me, what felt rushed, the scenes that made me pause, and why I’m still curious enough to keep going with the series.
Did we read the same book?
The tropes were troping, the twists weren’t exactly shocking, and yet… I still ate it up. In this episode I’m unpacking Empire of Flames by Marion Blackwood, what I liked, what I questioned, and why predictable fantasy can still be fun.
You guys told me to read Credence by Penelope Douglas, so I pushed through and finished it...even when I wasn’t enjoying it. This isn’t a recap. It’s me processing why the characters lost me, why the relationships didn’t work for me, and why the ending didn’t land the way I hoped it would.
If you loved this book, I’m genuinely curious to hear your thoughts.
Did we read the s...
You all recommended Under Your Scars by Ariel N. Anderson and now I need to talk about it. This isn’t a recap, it’s an emotional processing session for a book that hurt more than I expected and stuck with me long after I finished it, I can't even look at pancakes now without crying!
