Always in the shadows, draped in ivy and sorrow, the house waits for a child too daring for his own good. Yes, this book was kind of fluffy, but there was a decent undercurrent of darkness that I loved. Maybe it didn’t quite achieve the ominous feeling that the name implies, but it had its fair share of seriousness. I absolutely LOVED the magic of this story! I loved that there was always a high price for magic and I feel as […]
While I’m not a huge fan of aliens, I do love creepy abduction stories when they’re done well. The alien aspect of this book had me hooked! How much would it suck to disappear one day, only to reappear 5 years later – with absolutely NO recollection of what happened – and your life changed completely without you? I can’t even imagine! That was the most interesting part of the beginning for me. I have to admit, though, I got […]
While this may not have left a lasting impression on me, I really enjoyed it while I was reading it. Kiersten White’s books are always a great distraction – I have no problem getting swept up in her storytelling! However, there was one big flaw this book had in my eyes: It was forgettable. We all orbit the brilliant, chaotic burning of [Fia’s] star. I still really liked Fia! She’s more of an antiheroine. Like I said in my review […]
This one kicked off with an AWESOME start! Actually, if I had been in a store and picked this book up, I would have bought it immediately just based on the first page. It’s one of the best first paragraphs I’ve read in a very long time! The world building was one of my favorite parts of this novel. Sophie Jordan did a fabulous job of making everything sound legitimate and convincing! And the best part? There was a year […]
I thoroughly enjoyed diving back into this world! It’s a cute fluffy read with the perfect dose of paranormal. It was cool to see things from Laila’s point of view as well as Addie’s. I loved the banter between Laila and Connor! They clearly had chemistry, but fought it tooth and nail, which made it even better when the inevitable finally happened. There were some scenes where I wanted to yell, “JUST KISS, ALREADY!” because the tension between them was […]
This novella was very hard to rate for me. While I still enjoyed it because it’s the Shatter Me world, Adam pissed me off. Really pissed me off. If I hadn’t been Team Warner already after Destroy Me and Unravel Me, this would have firmly secured me there 100%. I can definitely foresee lots of former Team Adam people changing sides, because I don’t know how anyone could stand to be Team Adam after this. Going into this novella, I truly […]
