**Huge thanks to HarperTeen for providing a copy for review! I really enjoyed this one while I was reading it, but looking back I realize: It didn’t make a lasting impression. Which saddens me. The details are already foggy and I have to struggle to remember certain things. But it is an engrossing read, because of the mystery aspect of it. I liked Lily, but I didn’t connect with her quite as much as I’d hoped to. Plus, there were times […]
Besides Taken, this was my most anticipated debut of 2013. Did it disappoint? It surely did not! There was plenty of action, and once this book grabs you it doesn’t let go. I positively LOVED the setting! There are not nearly enough futuristic stories that take place over the water. The idea of a future where Manhattan is almost entirely underwater is fascinating to me. And something cool came from all that water: Roofracing. Now, I tried not to think […]

Taken is a fantastic dystopian that is great for fans of Legend by Marie Lu. If you didn’t already know, this was my #1 most anticipated 2013 release. Did it live up to the hype? Mostly. I did really enjoy it, but it wasn’t as spectacularly epic as I thought it would be. Gray was a good lead. He was almost completely ruled by his emotions, which was probably why I liked him. It made him seem more realistic. The romance…sigh. This […]

I am in a world of winter being burned beneath a summer sun. Stung was fabulous! This was a great example of humans playing God and getting burned for it. And, if you didn’t know by now, I loooove those kind of stories! Stung was a high action, high stakes, fast paced edge-of-your-seat read. Once you step into the pages, you’ll lose yourself in the world that Wiggins has created! This book was so original I couldn’t help but love it! […]
