Audiobook Review: The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 2, 2012 | 5 Comments

This was such a magical storyline that I couldn’t help but love it because it’s unlike anything I’ve ever read before. The water horses, capaill uisce (sounds like cap-pull ish-kuh), are basically kelpies. I’ve never read a story about kelpies before, and the idea of a deadly man-eating water horse fascinates me. Taming and racing them adds to that! I freaking loved Puck!! She was fiery and brave, a bit petulant at times, but compassionate and outspoken. Her and I would totally […]

Review: Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

Fans of Perfect Chemistry will love this one! I know I’m really into a book if it can make me cry, and this one did several times. It also made me laugh frequently, which earns even more bonus points. Noah and Echo were both beautifully flawed. They had both been through a lot for being so young, and had the scars to prove it. I love how at the start, things seem very black and white in their lives, and […]

I was sure before I even picked this one up that I was going to love it. And in a rare instance, I was right! Many times when I go in with high hopes, I get disappointed. But that was not the case with Defiance. The fact that I could connect enough for it to actually make me cry earned major bonus points for this book. I even knew the bad thing was going to happen, because I saw it coming, […]

The Treachery of Beautiful Things Blog Tour: Review and GIVEAWAY

“This place isn’t beautiful. It’s two-faced and treacherous, and so is everything here.” Aside from the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning and Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa, this is one of the top books I’ve read about fae! I didn’t love it necessarily, but I really really liked it! And to be honest, I didn’t expect to enjoy it half as much as I actually did. I’m kinda picky about faerie stories, and let’s face it, there’s a lot of […]

Review: City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

Did I mention I love this series? It’s so incredibly addicting and sticks with you long after you’ve read the book. The world of the Mortal Instruments is beautifully and realistically painted, magical and enchanting – even the second time around, I’m engrossed in the series! The stakes are even higher in this one with Valentine and his terrifying and sinister agenda. But is it really a surprise? He does evil so well! He’s so fanatical about his beliefs it’s […]

Review: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

This is the second time I’ve read this book. I just bought City of Lost Souls, so I’m re-reading the whole MI series before I start on that one. It’s hard for me to write this review because it’s hard to be objective about something you already had an opinion of. I loved the series the first time and I enjoyed this one just as much the second time around. It’s a fast paced and easy read, full of twists […]
