So, this is the second time I’ve read this book….and I remembered absolutely nothing. I mean, I could remember bits and pieces, but all of the important stuff? Gone. So it was kind of like reading this for the first time again. I felt disappointed with this the first time….I don’t know why, because it was really good the second time! Not quite as good as Hush, Hush was, but there were so many twists and surprises that I was […]
I love mythology! That was what drew my interest to this one. I think my expectations were a little too high, though. It was a pleasure to work with Kelly on her blog tour, so it makes me sad to say I was disappointed with Touch of Death. It’s so, so hard to write a not-so-great review for an author you like, and pretty much everyone else loved it…maybe it’s just me :( Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed it […]
This is the third time I’ve read this book. I read it the first time and loved it, then read it a second time so I could be refreshed before reading Crescendo. It is SO hard to review re-reads because when you already know what happens it’s difficult to be objective. There is no shock or surprise in the twists. I’m not real big on angel books, but this one is an exception for me. I have yet to find […]
Oh lord. Honestly, I’m not sure how I even finished this book. Morbid curiosity? The need to see liars and cheaters have everything blow up in their faces? Who knows. But somehow I managed to stick it through to the end. So, the characters. Good God. I don’t think I’ve ever met so many characters I wanted to flog in one single book. So many vapid, shallow characters! We’ll start with Em. I despised her. With the fire of a […]
I had trouble getting through this one. Why? Because it was a cookie-cutter of Twilight. (Am I the only one who noticed this?!) Sure, there were some differences…it had some colorful icing and fancy sprinkles added for camouflage. But the basics were disturbingly similar. I should have known in the prologue when Riley said she was ‘utterly, irrevocably in love’ with a vampire, and my first thought was easy, Twilight. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. *shakes fist* The book was fairly […]
I’ve only seen the first Alice movie once, forever ago, and I’ve never read the book. But I loooove retellings! Howard did a fantastic job at making Carroll’s twisted world even more twisted. I think the world-building was one of my favorite parts of this story, because as I was reading I was able to picture everything vividly in my mind. The imagery was beautiful! Let me just say one thing first….I. LOVE. MORPHEUS. Seriously. I am so Team Morpheus all […]
