Review: Insomnia by J.R. Johansson

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 28, 2013 | 11 Comments

Writing reviews for books that didn’t give you much passion either way is very difficult. This is one of those books, sadly. I’m having trouble pinpointing the issue here. The idea behind Insomnia was fantastic, really. Being able to see the dreams of the last person you made eye contact with? Such an interesting concept! But I felt totally ‘meh’ through the whole book. I just couldn’t connect with the story at all. Or our main character, Parker. (I already […]

Review: Mind Games by Kiersten White

Not gonna lie, it took me two tries to start this book. Not because I didn’t like it, but I read the first few chapters, set the book down, and didn’t pick it back up again for a couple of months. I wasn’t even really that interested in it, but I’m trying to catch up on old review copies (I’m soooo behind it’s not even funny). But, I ended up being pleasantly surprised! After seeing so many ‘meh’ reviews, I […]

Review: Crewel by Gennifer Albin

I’m not really sure what to think of this book overall. I had a lot of issues with the world building, but it was so unique I couldn’t help but enjoy it anyway. I had a very difficult time in the beginning because I was really struggling to understand all of the terms and trying to envision the world. Things were not explained very well at all. I had a hard time picturing anything in my head, and thinking about […]

Review: Shades of Earth by Beth Revis

Caution: Possible spoilers for the previous books! It’s strange to have this series come to an end. To be honest, there aren’t many series I’ve actually seen all the way through (seriously, I can count them on one hand), so it’s not a feeling I’m used to! (I have some serious series commitment issues O_O) But this was a perfect conclusion to a fabulous sci-fi trilogy! The best part: Centauri-Earth! EEP! We finally get to see it! And after the […]

DNF Review: Undeadly by Michele Vail

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on April 8, 2013 | 8 Comments

To be honest, the writing style was a major issue for me. It was in Molly’s voice, so it was written in the slang-ish ‘snarky’ way that a 16-year-old would talk. Or supposed to be, anyway. To me it seemed much more juvenile than 16 and I felt like the attempts at humor and sarcasm just tried to hard. The points that were probably supposed to be funny didn’t even draw a twitch of the lips from me. Instead I […]

Review: Altered by Jennifer Rush

When I was reading this, I loved it. But now that a few days have passed, I realized: This book is forgettable. For me, at least. The pacing was quick and there were times when I was so engrossed that I couldn’t put the book down. But now, looking back, I find I have to think hard to remember the details, although it’s only been a couple days since I finished. That’s not a good thing. I liked Anna. Liked, […]
