I was sure before I even picked this one up that I was going to love it. And in a rare instance, I was right! Many times when I go in with high hopes, I get disappointed. But that was not the case with Defiance. The fact that I could connect enough for it to actually make me cry earned major bonus points for this book. I even knew the bad thing was going to happen, because I saw it coming, […]
Not gonna lie, I really waffled on writing this review because I wasn’t sure what I was going to say. I liked it but it wasn’t amazing…the end. Ha. I’ve been looking for a good reaper book for a while, because I’ve read a few in the past that I didn’t care for at all. This book didn’t wow me like I had hoped, but it was a light and cute read! I was a little overwhelmed at first, because […]
“This place isn’t beautiful. It’s two-faced and treacherous, and so is everything here.” Aside from the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning and Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa, this is one of the top books I’ve read about fae! I didn’t love it necessarily, but I really really liked it! And to be honest, I didn’t expect to enjoy it half as much as I actually did. I’m kinda picky about faerie stories, and let’s face it, there’s a lot of […]
I was a bit disappointed with this one, as I had pretty high hopes. I loved the movie Titanic and love werewolf stories, so I was eagerly anticipating a book that mixed the two together. I couldn’t connect with the characters at all, which dragged the book down for me. But my main problem? The romance. I understand that it’s on a ship and time is limited, so things have to move fairly fast, but there’s a difference between fast-moving romance […]
I’ve been wanting to read this book forever, and with the depth of that desire and all the hype surrounding the book, I was afraid I was going to be disappointed. That was definitely not the case. Meyer painted a beautiful and vivid world that I enjoyed living in! This is only the second fairytale retelling that I’ve read (Beastly being the first). While there were a few similarities between Cinder and its inspiration, Cinderella (evil step-mother and two step-sisters, the shoe, […]
I only got about 100 pages through (which is actually almost half the book because it’s so short) and was so bored out of my mind that I decided it was time to put it down. Reading should be enjoyable, and I’d rather spend my time reading a book that doesn’t send me into violent fits of narcolepsy. The writing was a bit sophomoric and dry, which was a main cause of boredom for me. The second cause was that […]
