I’m not exactly sure, even as I’m typing, how to go about writing this review. Even after finishing this book I don’t quite know how I feel about it. Do I love it? Hate it? I suppose I’m sort of on the fence on this one. I’m hovering somewhere in between the black and white…in the Grey. Ha – see what I did there? *ahem* But seriously. First of all, this was my very first erotica. Sure, I’ve read books with […]

This was a step outside of my usual circle of genres for me. I like forensic stuff and I’m a huge fan of the show Dexter, but this was the first thriller/murder mystery I’ve ever read (unless you count Deadly Cool, which I don’t). Like a typical crime scene setup, there were some gruesome scenes in this book – so if you’re really squeamish, I probably wouldn’t recommend it. Those scenes didn’t exactly go into depth and detail and they […]

I felt that this book was much too long for the content. It dragged on a bit for me, and I think if some of the filler had been cut out, I would have enjoyed it a lot more. There wasn’t much at all happening for the first ¾ of the book (and seeing as how it’s 500+ pages long, that’s a lot), just an occasional creeptastic part to pique my interest and make me wonder what would happen. I […]

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 […]

To tell you the truth, I almost put this one down in the first 75 pages. I didn’t really like the main characters, Talon and Sunshine. I didn’t care about Talon in the last book, so I had no desire to get to know him better. Sunshine was…eccentric. Read: weirdo. I mean, really, who leaves their keys in the fridge by accident? And some of the things she did and said in the beginning were so outlandish that it just […]

Before I read this, with the mention of Night and Day students I just couldn’t help myself…I immediately thought of this: So of course I was intrigued! It ended up being almost nothing like Vampire Knight, though, and I was pleasantly surprised at how unique the story was. I usually despise love triangles, but this one wasn’t bad at all. I gotta hand it to Phoenix, she stuck with her decision. It was never really a competition for her. And […]
