This is the second time I’ve read this book. I just bought City of Lost Souls, so I’m re-reading the whole MI series before I start on that one. It’s hard for me to write this review because it’s hard to be objective about something you already had an opinion of. I loved the series the first time and I enjoyed this one just as much the second time around. It’s a fast paced and easy read, full of twists […]

To tell you the truth, I almost put this one down in the first 75 pages. I didn’t really like the main characters, Talon and Sunshine. I didn’t care about Talon in the last book, so I had no desire to get to know him better. Sunshine was…eccentric. Read: weirdo. I mean, really, who leaves their keys in the fridge by accident? And some of the things she did and said in the beginning were so outlandish that it just […]

The present. Right now. The exact spot where the hourglass filters the sand from the future to the past. That’s where we have to live. Before all the sand runs out, or before somebody shakes it all up again. Whew, man! This book was intense! I totally loved reading in Kaleb’s POV. I liked him from Hourglass, so I was looking forward to getting a more in-depth peek into his head. In the beginning he’s kind of an asshat. He’s […]

What a glorious read! Out of all the paranormals, weres have always been my favorite – and this book didn’t make them look all fluffy and sweet. Lupine Syndrome is an actual disease, and when infected, the person typically turns into a monster and a killer. Hemlock really portrayed the ugly side of humanity. There was a lot of bigotry and racism towards those infected and it was violent at times. The riot at the protest and the way Branson […]

  What if there were teens whose lives depended on being bad influences? This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels in Sweet Evil. Tenderhearted Southern girl, Anna Whitt, was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She’s aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but it isn’t until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage, and her will-power […]

I knew going in that this book involved bad influence. What was I expecting? I dunno, maybe just a short walk on the wild side. Some drinking, steamy makeout sessions with a bad boy. Not drugs, sex, cheating, lying, and excessive underage drinking. This book really should not be labeled YA. I would NOT want my 13 or 14 year old to read something like this. As an adult book, it would have been somewhat alright. I say somewhat because, […]
