What an interesting take on vampires! This one certainly was not what I was expecting. It was different from any other vamp story I’ve ever read. Which is refreshing, because frankly I’m getting a little sick of vampires. It was strange at some points, but the originality earned some major brownie points for me. The reviews on Goodreads definitely showed a love vs. hate with this book (as in, no in between), so I was kinda skeptical going in. But […]
The Community Link is peace. We are humanity sublime because we live in Community and favor above all else order, logic, and peace. Community first, Community always. I had a lot of mixed feelings about this book. The premise was awesome, but I felt the delivery was a bit lacking in parts, particularly with the world building. So, as per usual with me, let’s get the bad out of the way, then move to the good. Things I didn’t like: […]
“This place isn’t beautiful. It’s two-faced and treacherous, and so is everything here.” Aside from the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning and Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa, this is one of the top books I’ve read about fae! I didn’t love it necessarily, but I really really liked it! And to be honest, I didn’t expect to enjoy it half as much as I actually did. I’m kinda picky about faerie stories, and let’s face it, there’s a lot of […]
The present. Right now. The exact spot where the hourglass filters the sand from the future to the past. That’s where we have to live. Before all the sand runs out, or before somebody shakes it all up again. Whew, man! This book was intense! I totally loved reading in Kaleb’s POV. I liked him from Hourglass, so I was looking forward to getting a more in-depth peek into his head. In the beginning he’s kind of an asshat. He’s […]
To be honest, I’ve been dreading writing this review. These are the hardest to write for me, reviews for those books that don’t spark any passion toward love or hate at all. It’s not that I thought this was a bad book…it’s still 3 starfish for me, but I guess I just couldn’t connect. The plot was decent and the ideas were fresh – I haven’t read anything else like it before. The ideas such as the Hollow, Grays, nexus, […]
First of all, this situation would be AWFUL. I’m a bit of a piglet and I can’t imagine going more than a day without eating. (or going without my Dew, yes yes roll your eyes) The situation of this story alone was enough to make it riveting. It was a very quick read – I finished it in a couple of hours. So why only 2.5 stars? Because certain aspects were a little far-fetched and unrealistic for me to swallow. […]
