I had seen this one compared to Stephanie Meyer’s The Host… in a way, it’s kind of similar just because it’s two minds sharing one body, but that’s where the similarities end. What’s Left of Me was unlike anything I’ve ever read before! The premise is so fantastic that I couldn’t help but enjoy it – two souls sharing the same body is awesome and awful all at the same time! On one hand, you’d never be alone; you’d have a best […]
This is what it sounds like when the world ends. I’m kinda still mulling this one over. My first thought upon finishing this book? Jeesh, I need to go read something about rainbows and unicorns now. This is not a happy book. But that was perfectly fine with me! Every once in a while, it’s nice to read something dark that doesn’t have a HEA, because life doesn’t always have a perfect ending. The beginning grabbed me right away, with […]
“You really do suffer from insanity, don’t you?” “Hardly. I have to say I enjoy every minute of it.” I think this one has been my favorite of the series so far! I loved Zarek already from reading the last book and was really looking forward to reading his POV. Kenyon did not disappoint! Zarek had been through so much crap in his life it was a miracle he even survived. It was easy to connect with him with all […]
I’ve been wanting to read this book forever, and with the depth of that desire and all the hype surrounding the book, I was afraid I was going to be disappointed. That was definitely not the case. Meyer painted a beautiful and vivid world that I enjoyed living in! This is only the second fairytale retelling that I’ve read (Beastly being the first). While there were a few similarities between Cinder and its inspiration, Cinderella (evil step-mother and two step-sisters, the shoe, […]
This one dragged a bit in the beginning for me, but around page 100 or so – when Bryn opens her mind to the pack – it really picked up and from then on, the rest of the book flew by. Bryn was only 15, but had a mature voice. I felt as if it was a bit too mature at times – and really, what kind of 15-year-old uses words like obfuscation, eschewed, and impertinent? I don’t mind big […]
Secrets, lies, and danger, indeed! Slide was a fast-paced thriller with a plot that was crazy and twisted – I flew through this book in a matter of a few short hours because I didn’t want to put it down. The question of ‘Who is the killer?’ kept me thoroughly intrigued. Even though I rarely pick up mysteries, I enjoy reading them and trying to figure out what’s going to happen. Slide was a bit predictable, I’m afraid. I had a feeling of […]
