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 […]
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 […]
While the first book was good, I believe I enjoyed this one much more! It didn’t have a real lot of depth, but it was a cute and fun read. The fact that there are THREE changing points of view in this one really makes me appreciate Tera’s writing style. A few times I forgot momentarily who I was reading, but for the most part it was very well done. The voices were quite similar, but each of the girls […]
I love mythology! To be honest though, I didn’t really know anything about Norse mythology except what I saw in the movie Thor. Sad, I know. But I think that increased my enjoyment of Valkyrie Rising in the long run, because I got to learn a few things about Valkyries! It started off a bit slow, but I didn’t get bored because the mythology was enough to keep me interested. I had a bit of trouble connecting with the story at […]
