Review: Seriously Wicked by Tina Connolly

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on June 5, 2015 | 4 Comments

A huge thank you to Tor Teen for sending me a copy for review! This book was so full of cute! It was a very fluffy read (which I need from time to time), adorable and fun in the vein of Rachel Hawkins. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! I love the world of witchery in this book – they have a ‘WitchNet’ and a ‘Witchipedia.’ Cute, right?! Also a dragon! And a werewolf pup! I […]

Review: 5 to 1 by Holly Bodger

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on June 1, 2015 | 5 Comments

I certainly wasn’t expecting verse! It was a bit distracting, though, which is why I don’t usually read verse. I get so focused on the lyrical quality that I don’t pay attention to what’s happening. Holly Bodger’s prose was beautiful, though! I liked that Sudasa’s POV was written in verse and 5’s was written in regular prose. It made a clear distinction between their voices. I’m afraid I didn’t connect to the story quite like I’d hoped. While the idea was […]

Mini Review: The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 29, 2015 | 1 Comment

I was really impressed with Virginia Boecker’s prose. It was engaging, so even when there was a lull in the plot or action, I was still interested in the story! I freaking loved George! He cracked me up! I was really hoping in the beginning that he was going to be the love interest. (*sighs wistfully*) I also really liked Fifer! She was feisty, and even though she came off as a hard ass (or worse), she totally won me […]

Review: The Cage by Megan Shepherd

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 25, 2015 | 4 Comments

This book was refreshingly unique! I’m kind of glad I steered away from any reviews before picking this one up. I honestly didn’t really have any idea what to expect because I hadn’t read the synopsis since I added the book way back when it was put on Goodreads. So I really had no idea what it was going to be about! I definitely wasn’t expecting an alien book. I loved that, though! In the beginning you really have no […]
