While I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as I enjoyed Paranormalcy, it was still a cute and fun read. There wasn’t really much happening plot-wise, but the humor made up for it. There was one span of about 20 pages where I was constantly smiling or giggling (coincidentally, that was when I was reading in public…). I love a book that can make me laugh, and humor earns major brownie points for me. I had a hard time […]

This makes twice that I’ve read this one, and I enjoyed it just as much the second time! I re-read it because I wanted to read Endlessly and it’s been so long since I read the first two that I forgot basically everything. But as I was reading, I found it all coming back to me. It kept me from being surprised in many places, because I knew what was going to happen; but I think as a new reader, […]

I love mythology. A lot. And although I haven’t read up on the Persephone myth all that much, it fascinates me. I was sure I was going to love this. So sure. Perhaps I set my expectations sky high, or perhaps there was too much hype for this book, but I was extremely disappointed. My main problem? Kate. I couldn’t stand her. She was alright in the first half or so, average and nothing special to speak of…but not necessarily irritating, […]

Yasmine Galenorn is so talented at creating a convincing, realistic world! I love to live in the world she paints; it’s my favorite part of this book for sure. I didn’t enjoy Changeling quite as much as I enjoyed Witchling, but it was still a good entertaining read. Delilah is my favorite of the three D’Artigo sisters because, after all, she’s a werecat. And anybody who knows anything about me knows I LOOOOVE cats! I was really looking forward to reading […]

Oh. My. Wow! I am currently speechless, please give me 3.5 seconds…… Okay. Ahem. So, um, this book rocked my socks. It was fast-paced, action-packed, and full of twists and turns. The stakes are high and nothing is what it seems. And boy, did everything go to hell in a handbasket… Mr. Knight really knows how to play your emotions! I felt a vast array of them – shock, horror, sadness, joy, regret. Mostly shock. This book was a rollercoaster […]

When you’ve been struck by lightning as many times as I have, you start to expect the worst pretty much all the time.  With an opening line like that one, needless to say I was hooked immediately! The pacing was quite fast, and with all of the events happening I was enthralled and wanted more! I didn’t really know what was happening – who are the Seekers/Followers? What’s the deal with this Prophet guy? What’s really going on here? But I wasn’t confused, […]
