I was sure going into this one that I was going to enjoy it. EVERYONE loved it (seemed like it, anyway). Sadly, I was wrong. Again. *sigh* It seems like I’m always the black sheep when it comes to books with a lot of hype. Don’t get me wrong, this book wasn’t terrible. I gave it 2.5 – which for me is somewhere in between ‘it was ok’ and ‘I liked it.’ Because although I mostly just felt ‘meh’ about […]

Not gonna lie, in the beginning I didn’t like this book much at all. The first 100 pages or so would probably only have scored a 2 or 2.5 rating for me. I was unimpressed with the characters, and it was a bit too cliche for me. Girl meets sexy bad boy who acts like a jerk to keep people at a distance, and they conveniently get stuck as school partners? Ugh. And even though the visions were weird and slightly […]

h e l l  i s  e m p t y. a n d  a l l  t h e  d e v i l s  a r e  h e r e. HOLY. CRAP. SO MANY FEELS. I’m not sure anything I say could really do this book justice. But here goes… I liked Shatter Me. Liked, not loved. But I still wanted to read Unravel Me, although I wasn’t sure I was going to love it as much as […]

First of all, in Shatter Me I didn’t really care about Warner one way or the other. I didn’t dislike him necessarily, but I thought he was a bit creepy. Mainly that his obsession for Juliette was creepy. And in my review of Shatter Me I even said “So strong was his obsession that he deluded himself into believing he loved her. I almost felt sorry for him.” Because I didn’t believe that he truly loved her. So, when I […]

One of the things I love most about Jodi Meadows’ writing is the world building. I want to crawl right into the pages and live in there! The world she creates is incredible and magical. And it’s so unique, unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I think my favorite part of this book was the sylph. I loved them! I kinda want one to keep. In the beginning I didn’t know what the heck was going on, because they were […]

Gosh, I don’t even know where to start! Even with all the hype, this book was so much more than I expected! I mean, I love dystopians. And I pretty much like most of the ones I read. But this one pushed and shoved itself right to the top of that list! It’s the best dystopian I’ve read since The Hunger Games! The world building. Ahhh, so fabulous! It was CINEMATIC. I had absolutely no problem picturing everything in my […]
