Review: Afterlight by Elle Jasper

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 […]

Early Review: Splintered by A.G. Howard

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 […]

Review: Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff

I’ve been dying to get my hands on this book for months, and had to wait patiently (not) for my library to order it. Then I got it, and I was nervous to finally read it, because what if I got my hopes up too high? What if it wasn’t worth the hype? There were VERY mixed reviews on Goodreads, after all. Either love or hate, with almost nothing in between. I am extremely happy to say that I fell […]

Review: Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor

I am a priestess of a sandcastle in a land of dust and starlight. I don’t even know where to start! This book rocked my socks off, guys. It was just as good as (if not better than) Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Laini’s writing is dark and beautiful and paints a vivid picture of her stunning world. Days of Blood and Starlight enchanted me! I love Karou! I liked her even more in this book because you get to see […]

Review: Iced by Karen Marie Moning

Oh my GAWD, where do I even start? First off, Karen is my FAVORITE. AUTHOR. EVEERRRRR. Seriously, guys. She could probably write a book about paint drying and I’d love the crap out of it. She has a fabulous talent for writing riveting stories. Iced was no different! It gives me peace of mind to go into a story knowing for sure that I’ll every minute of it. “You’ll never be just anything, Dani. A tsunami can never be ‘just’ […]

Greta and the Goblin King Blog Tour: Review + GIVEAWAY

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on November 6, 2012 | 0 Comments

It took me a while to get into this one. To be honest, I didn’t really like it much at first and wasn’t sure I’d even be able to participate in the tour because I didn’t think I was going to be able to finish it. But I’m glad I did! The book improved vastly as it developed and I ended up being pleasantly surprised. I think this series has great potential. My main issue was the inability to connect. […]
