This book was totally creepy! It grabbed my attention right from the beginning and refused to let go. Suspenseful and chilling, I was on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, wondering what would happen next. I just want to get something off my mind right now before I go any further: I don’t know what’s up with killing felines in books lately, but it really needs to stop. It doesn’t add anything to the story except outrage (for […]

When you’ve been struck by lightning as many times as I have, you start to expect the worst pretty much all the time.  With an opening line like that one, needless to say I was hooked immediately! The pacing was quite fast, and with all of the events happening I was enthralled and wanted more! I didn’t really know what was happening – who are the Seekers/Followers? What’s the deal with this Prophet guy? What’s really going on here? But I wasn’t confused, […]

**WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD** I usually hate to include spoilers in any review, but the reason I put this down is based off of a spoiler, so that’s most of what this review will entail. I think my hopes for this one were much too high before I picked it up. The story was decent. The originality was great. The characters…eh. I love the premise, really I do. A flower that can make people immortal and a perfect being with impenetrable […]

Just like the first two books in the Fins series, Just for Fins was a cute and fun read! I devoured it all in almost one sitting, and in one day (that doesn’t happen very often!). Lily and Quince are back for another magical adventure, and their relationship is stronger than ever. The romance wasn’t the biggest focus in this book, but their love for each other was obvious in their actions. I love Quince! There was a lot of politics […]

I’m lost. I’m going to die. On this godforsaken mountain, I’m going to die. Well, isn’t that what I wanted? There’s no easy answer on my lips or in my mind. Is it what I wanted? Is it? This book was good, not great, but was a quick and easy read. There wasn’t a lot of depth to it, though, despite the tough issues involved. The fact that it was so short kept things flowing at a decent pace, so […]

I’ve been looking for another mermaid book that I could love as much as Forgive My Fins. Alas, this was not the one. I loved the premise, really I did. The back story was fantastic. I just didn’t care for the delivery or the prose. Or any of the characters. I was skeptical about the book as soon as I read the prologue, but I decided to give it a chance anyway. In the beginning, a mermaid is ‘in love’ with […]
