Review: The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Where do I even start? This book was creepy and riveting! It was so, so much better than The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (which I rated 3.5 stars – good but not great). The pacing was much faster and picked up earlier on, and there were also interesting things happening more frequently. I had some trouble remembering what happened in the first book because it’s been a year since I read it. But thankfully this one has plenty of reminders, so […]

Review: Afterlight by Elle Jasper

I had trouble getting through this one. Why? Because it was a cookie-cutter of Twilight. (Am I the only one who noticed this?!) Sure, there were some differences…it had some colorful icing and fancy sprinkles added for camouflage. But the basics were disturbingly similar. I should have known in the prologue when Riley said she was ‘utterly, irrevocably in love’ with a vampire, and my first thought was easy, Twilight. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. *shakes fist* The book was fairly […]
