“The Winner’s Curse is when you come out on top of the bid, but only by paying a steep price.” It’s no secret that I had been DYING for this book for months. It was THE most anticipated 2014 release for me! I was kinda worried that the Hype Monster would strike again, that I would be disappointed because my hopes were sky high. But I was pleasantly surprised! It didn’t blow me away, but I still loved it! This […]
This book was so adorable! I loved The Nightmare Affair, so I was super excited for the sequel. And it didn’t disappoint! I love Dusty. If she were a real person, we’d be good friends! She’s snarky and funny! She’s also strong – she may have had moments of weakness, but she didn’t fall apart when things got tough. She took action. Eli kind of irked me a few times in this one. His mood swings almost gave me mental […]
This book reminded me a lot of a cross between The Hunger Games and The Golden Compass! I don’t particularly like to compare books, because that usually insinuates that one is a cheap ripoff of another, but that was not the case with Fire & Flood. Yes, it was similar; but Victoria Scott made it her own, and it was a unique and intriguing read! The egg is small and ugly, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s got a little stank […]
I had some trouble connecting to this one. I still really enjoyed it, but for the most part I didn’t love it like I did the first two books. I didn’t feel much throughout the novel except a bit of shock…until the end came. I saw the sacrifice coming, but it still affected me. I was surprised by the sadness I felt! Ash was still the same fierce, fiesty MC that I loved from the previous two books. She stayed strong no […]
While this may not have left a lasting impression on me, I really enjoyed it while I was reading it. Kiersten White’s books are always a great distraction – I have no problem getting swept up in her storytelling! However, there was one big flaw this book had in my eyes: It was forgettable. We all orbit the brilliant, chaotic burning of [Fia’s] star. I still really liked Fia! She’s more of an antiheroine. Like I said in my review […]
Man. I was really looking forward to reading this book, as I’d seen SO many glowing 5 star reviews about how AMAZING it was. Guess what? Black sheep again. It’s not that I didn’t like it, but I didn’t necessarily like it either, if that makes sense. It was one of those books. You know, the books you read that you don’t really care about either way, that don’t give you much inspiration or make a lasting impression on you. My overall […]
