I listened to We Could Be So Good a few years ago, and am really happy to have rediscovered this well written historical fiction, if one can consider the 1950’s historical. Cat Sebastian’s author’s note at the end provides the research she did in order to anchor the story of two men who work together,..
Review from Goodnight Beautiful →
The female 60 year old smoker narrator was terrible to listen to especially since she was voicing a man. I found the story hard to follow as well. I didn’t even realize until halfway through that the smoker lady wasn’t the wife. The author also stole the main plot line from misery.
I’ve read and listened to book a bunch of times so these characters and story are like old friends. 1950’s/early 1960’s NYC, with true elements of the Mets in there, making me go and lean about. Like many of Cat’s books, it’s the loveable characters, the plausible story plus the real history and the book..

Review from Buckeye →
This book is so well-balanced, there’s true love and passionate love -making interspersed with genuine affection and live for a troubled child.
Book 2 – seems to be repetitive with the main character still failing to develop. She does become a nymph and has new powers but she is still clueless/helpless. I jumped around from boredom. She ends up back at square one in the maze. Odd book, kind of a waste.
Review from A Deception of Courts →
A Deception of Courts raises the tempo for Robin Icethorn’s war—they’ve broken the court gates, but now they’re fighting gods, demons, and the cracks in alliances they once trusted. Alderson leans into raw stakes and sharp betrayals—some of the best twists land hard, stretches of diplomacy throughout showcase Alderson’s writing. The found-family ties and Duncan’s..
Review from A Kingdom of Lies →
A Kingdom of Lies seeks to deepen Robin Icethorn’s arc as he claws for a kingdom built from ash and betrayal, but the plot demands patience as it lays political traps through long setups. Alderson’s atmosphere engaging but the emotional depth meandered in several key revelations. Leaning heavily inward beats diffuses momentum at times and..
Review from Something Wicked →
The creepiest one yet! Glued to this book! I was mad I had to sleep and go to work when I couldn’t keep reading!
Okay, so I only picked this book up because somebody in my TikTok comments recommended it—and I’m so glad they did, because this book was so freaking cute. It starts off with Malachi, who’s this shiny little model that everybody assumes is kind of an asshole shallow and kinda dumb. We know right off the..
