Review: The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong

This was my second time reading this book – the first time was years ago, before I started blogging. I remember the ending being pretty open, and I wanted to read the second book, but then it came out and I just…never read it (this happens a lot, actually). I’m going to be honest, I remember absolutely nothing about this book. Reading it the second time was basically the same as reading it the first time. Parts of it sounded vaguely familiar, but […]

Gods. I don’t even know where to start. One word to describe this book? INTENSE. There were so many scenes where I had the book in a death grip, on the edge of my seat frantically flipping pages. SHIT HAPPENS, GUYS. And it’s crazy! I also forgot how beautiful Jay’s prose was. It’s a bit on the purple side, but not in a bad way at all. It’s descriptive and flowing, painting a vivid picture of the world in your […]

Do You Continue a Series if You Hate the First Book?

I’ve seen a few people on Goodreads who will be reading the 3rd (or sometimes 4th) book in a series, complaining about how it’s not any better than the last two (or three), or it sucks; or have marked it as to-read and say things like “I don’t even know why I want to read this after the last two” or “this book had better not be as terrible as the last two.” Upon looking at their profile, I see […]

I was a little disappointed that the signature was on a blank page instead of the title page, but oh well. Won: Glass Arrow swag pack: Signed bookmark, magnet, wolf charm, clover charm, arrowhead charm, cedar candle, and a personal note from the fabulous Kristen Simmons! […]
