Review: Night of Cake and Puppets by Laini Taylor

I think it would be impossible not to love anything that Laini Taylor wrote. She’s so talented at stringing sentences together beautifully, even magically, that she can make even the most mundane things seem interesting! I have scuppies in my pocket and lust in my heart. Tonight’s the night. I love Zuzana. She’s hilarious! She’s tiny but fiesty as hell, and she’s got heart as big as her attitude when it comes to the people she cares about. Also, she’s just […]

Review: These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

These Broken Stars is kinda like Shades of Earth meets Titanic, and it’s unlike anything else I’ve read. The world building was by far my favorite part of this book! I loved the feel of the story, and the planet’s energy-based life forms. Their abilities were fascinating! This is a hell I’ve never imagined. And I think I’m going to die here. I didn’t care much for Lilac in the beginning. She’s a spoiled rich brat who’s lived a frilly life without […]

Review: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke

Perhaps I doomed myself by going into this book with sky high hopes. And perhaps I deserve it because even after seeing some not-so-great reviews, my shallow nature wouldn’t let me walk away from the beautiful, beautiful cover. (Damn you, beautiful cover, damn you.) But my goodness, I was highly disappointed in this book! First of all, WHERE IS THE GOTHIC NOVEL I WAS PROMISED?!?! This was supposed to be a horror! This book is NOT a horror. It is […]

Review: Ashes on the Waves by Mary Lindsey

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on July 17, 2013 | 9 Comments

It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of romance, but I do enjoy them occasionally if they’re done well. Sadly, this one fell flat for me. My main problem was the characters. I couldn’t connect to Liam or Anna – in fact, they annoyed the crap out of me – and therefore I couldn’t bring myself to care about anything that was happening to them. It’s really not a good thing when you’re rooting for them to fail. Sometimes […]

Review: PODs by Michelle Pickett

Huge thanks to Spencer Hill for providing a review copy! I very nearly DNF’ed this book in the first 20-30 pages. I managed to stick through it somehow – my masochistic nature? or morbid curiosity? who knows – and honestly, I wouldn’t have been missing much. I was really looking forward to reading this because of the idea, but the delivery was so lackluster that it all just fell flat for me. My first problem happened very early when Eva […]

Recalled Blog Tour: Review + Giveaway

As far as reaper books go, this one is on the high end for me. In fact, I don’t usually like them, so I’ve been looking for one that I could enjoy. And I did enjoy this one, even though it was more of a love story than a book about reapers. I really liked Dex. He was what made me enjoy this book! There was clear development in his character (especially in the end) and he was definitely the […]
