I found this book to be a bit disappointing. Maybe I was just expecting too much out of it. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it. But it didn’t wow me like I thought it would. The beginning was very discouraging for me. There were so many terms and made up words thrown around without explanation that I very nearly gave up on it because I didn’t know what the hell was going on. I really think the world should […]

This is what it sounds like when the world ends. I’m kinda still mulling this one over. My first thought upon finishing this book? Jeesh, I need to go read something about rainbows and unicorns now. This is not a happy book. But that was perfectly fine with me! Every once in a while, it’s nice to read something dark that doesn’t have a HEA, because life doesn’t always have a perfect ending. The beginning grabbed me right away, with […]

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, […]

I wanted to finish this one. I really did. Because it’s very similar to Stephen King’s The Mist and I loved that movie (didn’t read the book though). But, the prose was such a train wreck that I couldn’t even focus on what was happening anymore. Be warned, this may get ugly. The beginning started out pretty good, with some (fairly) well done 2nd person. The first paragraph (as seen above in the synopsis) was very catching, with the exception of […]

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 […]

When I first finished this book, my brain was jelly. It squashed my brain function, leaving me staring at the ceiling! I’ve been dying to read this one and I received it in the mail a week ago, but I had other books lined up that I needed to get done first. You know when you read a book and you’re so hyped about the next one, then you get it and suddenly you’re afraid to read it because you […]
