First of all, in Shatter Me I didn’t really care about Warner one way or the other. I didn’t dislike him necessarily, but I thought he was a bit creepy. Mainly that his obsession for Juliette was creepy. And in my review of Shatter Me I even said “So strong was his obsession that he deluded himself into believing he loved her. I almost felt sorry for him.” Because I didn’t believe that he truly loved her. So, when I […]

One of the things I love most about Jodi Meadows’ writing is the world building. I want to crawl right into the pages and live in there! The world she creates is incredible and magical. And it’s so unique, unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I think my favorite part of this book was the sylph. I loved them! I kinda want one to keep. In the beginning I didn’t know what the heck was going on, because they were […]

Gosh, I don’t even know where to start! Even with all the hype, this book was so much more than I expected! I mean, I love dystopians. And I pretty much like most of the ones I read. But this one pushed and shoved itself right to the top of that list! It’s the best dystopian I’ve read since The Hunger Games! The world building. Ahhh, so fabulous! It was CINEMATIC. I had absolutely no problem picturing everything in my […]

As far as dystopians go, Legend rates among the top of all the ones I’ve read. There was plenty of action; not once did I get bored, because there was little to no lull in the plot. Something exciting was always happening! Danger and suspense abound; secrets, lies and government corruption! Oh my! It was everything I love in a dystopian novel (and why it’s one of my favorite genres). In my mind, I make a silent promise to my brother’s killer: […]

Review: Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick

While I still enjoyed this one, the series has been going slightly downhill since the first book. I gave Hush, Hush 4.5 starfish, Crescendo 4 starfish, now this one 3.5…. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this book because honestly I feel like there wasn’t much to it. There was hardly anything happening plot-wise. Most of it was Nora trying to get her memories back – which was extremely frustrating for me as a reader, because I already knew everything […]
