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 […]

**Huge thanks to HarperTeen for providing a copy for review!  I really enjoyed this one while I was reading it, but looking back I realize: It didn’t make a lasting impression. Which saddens me. The details are already foggy and I have to struggle to remember certain things. But it is an engrossing read, because of the mystery aspect of it. I liked Lily, but I didn’t connect with her quite as much as I’d hoped to. Plus, there were times […]

As far as reaper books go, this one is on the high end for me. In fact, I don’t usually like them, so I’ve been looking for one that I could enjoy. And I did enjoy this one, even though it was more of a love story than a book about reapers. I really liked Dex. He was what made me enjoy this book! There was clear development in his character (especially in the end) and he was definitely the […]

First of all, I waited WAY too long to write this review. I already forgot most of the book and had to skim through it to remember! Sad, I know. I enjoyed it while I was reading it, but it didn’t make much of a lasting impression on me. The world building was really cool, and I found the idea of Mystics fascinating. Kind of like X-Men, each Mystic has their own individual special power they can use through the […]

If you didn’t already know, I looove high fantasy. There’s just something about it that pulls me in! So I was pretty sure going in that I was going to enjoy this one. And enjoy it, I did! The world building was what sold me on this one. I want to burrow into Devri’s imagination and live there! (you know, in a totally non-creepy way….) She is fabulous at drawing you in, and it was easy for me to picture […]

While I still enjoyed this one, the series has been going slightly downhill since the first book. I gave Hush, Hush 4.5 starfish, Crescendo 4 starfish, now this one 3.5…. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this book because honestly I feel like there wasn’t much to it. There was hardly anything happening plot-wise. Most of it was Nora trying to get her memories back – which was extremely frustrating for me as a reader, because I already knew everything […]
