This was a re-read for me – it’s been a couple years since I last read it, and I had pretty much forgotten everything except for the very end. Looking back, I wondered why I gave it 4 stars, but reading again I realized why. While it’s not exactly memorable, it was enjoyable while I was reading it! First of all, this book is a romance. We all know how Jessi feels about romance. But, it wasn’t bad at all. […]
Just like the first book, this one wasn’t very memorable. In fact, it was even less memorable. Practically nothing happens the entire story – it’s just a lot of wandering around, lost, looking for help while running from the bad guys. But somehow, it was still enough to hold my attention. I never got bored, and it was still enjoyable. Much like the first, the details will fade quickly and I probably won’t remember much of it. It was cool to get […]
This book and I had a love/hate relationship. On one hand, I kind of hated it. The writing was HORRIBLY sophomoric, the interactions were juvenile, and the action scenes weren’t really believable. The writing didn’t sell the story. I think this had the potential to be an awesome book if the execution had been better. The beginning was rough for me. I was really struggling for a while. The attempt at humor was so ridiculous it had me rolling my eyes and […]
This was my second time reading this book – the first time was years ago, before I started blogging. I remember the ending being pretty open, and I wanted to read the second book, but then it came out and I just…never read it (this happens a lot, actually). I’m going to be honest, I remember absolutely nothing about this book. Reading it the second time was basically the same as reading it the first time. Parts of it sounded vaguely familiar, but […]
Gods. I don’t even know where to start. One word to describe this book? INTENSE. There were so many scenes where I had the book in a death grip, on the edge of my seat frantically flipping pages. SHIT HAPPENS, GUYS. And it’s crazy! I also forgot how beautiful Jay’s prose was. It’s a bit on the purple side, but not in a bad way at all. It’s descriptive and flowing, painting a vivid picture of the world in your […]
Wow. WOW. Book twin Octavia has been telling me forever that I need to read this because it was amazing. She was so right! I was blown away by Bishop’s world. On the surface, it seems like it’s UF. But it’s SO much more than that! It’s hard to really categorize it, honestly. It’s more of High Fantasy than UF because while it’s similar to our world, it isn’t. It’s a made up world. But it doesn’t have a High […]
