So, this is the second time I’ve read this book….and I remembered absolutely nothing. I mean, I could remember bits and pieces, but all of the important stuff? Gone. So it was kind of like reading this for the first time again. I felt disappointed with this the first time….I don’t know why, because it was really good the second time! Not quite as good as Hush, Hush was, but there were so many twists and surprises that I was […]
I honestly don’t know how I felt about this book. There were times I loved it, times I hated it, and times when it just flat out pissed me off. It was a crazy and aggravating emotional rollercoaster. The title is absolutely perfect for it! The main reason for the times I hated this book was Abby. She was pretty normal in the beginning, but just started to tick me off in the last half. Her ignorance made me want […]
Where do I even start? This book was creepy and riveting! It was so, so much better than The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (which I rated 3.5 stars – good but not great). The pacing was much faster and picked up earlier on, and there were also interesting things happening more frequently. I had some trouble remembering what happened in the first book because it’s been a year since I read it. But thankfully this one has plenty of reminders, so […]
As far as contemporaries go, One Moment was pretty solid. I didn’t connect quite as much as I wanted to, which is mostly what kept it from being 5 stars. I can’t pinpoint what exactly caused the disconnect – One Moment was a beautifully written story about letting go and moving on. But because it was so tragic, I feel like there should have been a little more emotion on my part. I didn’t cry once, and the only time I felt […]
While the first book was good, I believe I enjoyed this one much more! It didn’t have a real lot of depth, but it was a cute and fun read. The fact that there are THREE changing points of view in this one really makes me appreciate Tera’s writing style. A few times I forgot momentarily who I was reading, but for the most part it was very well done. The voices were quite similar, but each of the girls […]
I love mythology! To be honest though, I didn’t really know anything about Norse mythology except what I saw in the movie Thor. Sad, I know. But I think that increased my enjoyment of Valkyrie Rising in the long run, because I got to learn a few things about Valkyries! It started off a bit slow, but I didn’t get bored because the mythology was enough to keep me interested. I had a bit of trouble connecting with the story at […]
