DNF Review: Talker 25 by Joshua McCune

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on April 26, 2014 | 4 Comments

Boy, was I looking forward to this book. Because DRAGONS. But…meh. First of all, I was expecting this awesome Urban Fantasy, and it ended up being a cookie-cutter Dystopian with dragons thrown in the mix. That was my first problem. My second problem was that the character interaction and dialogue was just…absurd. “Put these on if it’s too bright for you, Callahan. We don’t want you squinting like you’re blocked up or something.” Um…oookaaay. Who says that? And […]

Review: Immortal City by Scott Speer

I’ve read a few angel books before, but for the most part I’m not really a big fan of them (I did enjoy Hush, Hush, but the series went downhill fast). So, I was VERY surprised by how much I enjoyed this one! First of all, the concept was awesome and unique, making this book completely different from any other angel book out there. Instead of being the typical selfless angels, the guardian angels are paid for their services. Crazy, right? […]

DNF Review: Half Bad by Sally Green

Breathtaking, my ass. The only thing “breathtaking” about this book is the cover. Shame on me for falling for that again. I made it to page 77 before I just couldn’t take it anymore. Stabbing myself in the leg would have been more enjoyable. First of all, the writing was HORRIBLY sophomoric. Why is this labeled YA? It seriously needs to be labeled as a MG book, because it reads like one. It’s sad when you’re so distracted by editing […]

Review: Venom by Fiona Paul

Evil flows silently among us like venom. This is a very tough review to write for me, and this book was hard to rate (you can see that my overall assessment ratings are all over the place). First of all, I’ve been wanting to read this for a long time because 1) I love the author. She’s one of the most friendly and sweetest authors I’ve ever had the privilege to talk to; and 2) because all of my Merp […]

Review: The Hunt by Stacey Kade

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on April 14, 2014 | 3 Comments

I loved The Rules. LOVED it (I rated it 5 heartbeats!). Sadly, though, the sequel lacked the magic of the first book. I still enjoyed it for the most part, but it didn’t wow me like the first book did. I felt like little to nothing actually happened in the first 3/4 of this book, and the pacing dragged in the middle. It was mostly Zane and Ariane bickering and disagreeing and keeping things from each other. I understand that conflict […]
