I really liked that The Vespertine began towards the end of the story, at a point where Amelia is not doing so well, then we are taken back to see how it came to be this way. It sucks you in instantly and makes you want to get to the bottom of it! Amelia and Zora […]
Review: Outside In by Maria V. Snyder
Outside In picks up soon after the end of Inside Out. Trella kind of takes a backseat to the committee, and wants to just explore more of Inside and spend more time with Riley. She feels she doesn’t have the expertise to make decisions that will impact the citizens of Inside. She doesn’t realize that […]
Review: Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Delirium had me from the first sentence: “It has been sixty-four years since the president and the Consortium identified love as a disease, and forty-three since the scientists perfected a cure.” I thought to myself, this is going to end badly. And I didn’t mean it as the book was going to suck, I meant […]
Review: Awakened by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
First of all…I love this cover! Kalona is one hot evil, immortal ex-warrior!! And the inside of it is even better! Awakened had a lot of the two things I love about this series, Stark and Rephaim. This made up for the things that annoyed me, Kramisha’s way of speaking, the True Blood & Glee mentions, […]
Ink Exchange, Revisited
To me, Ink Exchange is a story about 3 people trying to find themselves and happiness in the situations they are in. Leslie is dealing with a broken home and a family who doesn’t keep her safe. In fact, her own brother puts her in the most vile situation, all for drugs. Niall has been […]
Review: Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
The book begins with ninety year old Jacob remembering a very intense and disturbing event from his time with the circus that will leave you wanting to find out how it got to that point. The chapters then alternate between old Jacob and his very depressed state at the Assisted Living Facility and him remembering […]
Wicked Lovely, Revisited
I read Wicked Lovely last year and thought it was so different from everything else out there. I really like the tone of this series…dark, mysterious and seductive..I just love it. I am eagerly awaiting the release of Darkest Mercy, the last book in the Wicked Lovely series. While I wait, I’m going to listen […]
A Year Ago Today, I Read: Lament by Maggie Stiefvater
This was my first time reading a book about fairies and I really liked it! I loved Maggie’s style of writing, it flows so smoothly. I thought Deirdre handled herself remarkably well after discovering she can see faeries and that they’re after her. She did seem a little naive about James though, but don’t they […]
Review: The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher
I have mixed feelings about The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher. I LOVED the cover! Isn’t it gorgeous!? Yeah. I found myself skimming or speed reading through the pages, which automatically tells me that I’m just trying to get to the bottom of it and not hanging on its every word, like I would a […]
Review: Kiss of the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Kiss of the Night is book number 4 in the Dark-Hunter series, and it was a great installment! Wulf and Cassandra are definitely not meant to be. What with him being a Dark-Hunter and her being an Apollite on the verge of death, yet thanks to some butting in by the Goddess Artemis, they become […]
