The premise of this book….I can’t even. Okay, imagine a world where people live to be pretty. I’m not talking like the stars and famous people of now, I mean when you turn 16 everyone gets an operation to make them look pretty. Everyone looks the same and acts the same. Being Pretty is normal, and every Littlie dreams of the day when they can have the operation and no longer be an Ugly. A world of happy mindless robots, where […]
I adore love/hate romance stories. I really do. I loved this book! Not quite as much as I loved Perfect Chemistry, but it was still awesome! Elkeles has a great talent for creating realistic characters. The POV switched back and forth, so as the reader I was able to get to know both Carlos and Kiara in depth. There was a clear change in voices and they had their own individual personalities. It was easy to tell where one person ended […]
The hardest reviews to write are for books that didn’t inspire much of anything in me either way – love or hate. This was one of those. It was good, but not great. It was a quick and light read and I don’t regret reading it, but I don’t think I would read it again. I had mixed feelings about Dana. She was an alright lead, but she annoyed me at times. First of all, she was selfish. She ran […]
Sadly, I was disappointed in this one. I’m having trouble forming those disappointments into exact sentences, but it just left me with an overall feeling of…meh. The idea of it sounds awesome – a drug that brings you back from death? Sounds like a thrilling, gripping read, right? Wrong. It was more of a contemporary with a sci-fi twist. I was expecting some deathly encounters involving Daisy – after all, it says she’s died a whopping FIVE times. The only death […]
Remember what I said about CoFA? How the plot was more of teen angst and relationship drama than danger and action? Well, the same goes for CoLS, except throw in a little sexual tension. That seemed to be all that the first half of the book was about. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Mortal Instruments. Still do. But it has gone downhill since City of Glass. I still enjoyed this book, but found myself a bit bored at […]
This review is a lot harder to write than the previous three. I will always love the world of the Shadowhunters, but in a way, I felt like this series would have been perfect if it could have just been left as a trilogy. Don’t get me wrong, I still thoroughly enjoyed CoFA. Although, I think I enjoyed it more the first time I read it. The second time through, it was much more obvious that there wasn’t much of […]
